Mehr Jesia, India's Original Supermodel, Owns The All-Black Look

2018 has not be a good one for love. In only the first half of the year, many beloved celebrity couples have split and left us devasted in the bargain. This morning, it hit close to home when Arjun Rampal and Mehr Jesia announced their separation. Bollywood actor Arjun and supermodel-turned-entrepreneur Mehr were married for two decades and we're still reeling from the shock. At a towering 5 foot 10 inches, the svelte Mehr shot to fame as a model in 1980s after winning the Femina Miss India crown in 1986. She then scorched the ramp and was the face of numerous brands post which, she settled into motherhood and entrepreneurship. Even though we haven't seen much of Mehr Jesia in the past few years, this original Indian supermodel stayed true to her modelling roots and understated chic style. In fact, it's Mehr who loyally showcased all-black outfits through the years; a trend which is now a celebrity favourite across the world. Here are seven times Mehr Jesia worked the all-black look effortlessly.

In a black sleeveless jumpsuit with pockets and cropped legs, Mehr certainly looks comfortable. Keeping it casual with her hair left and only a chunky watch as her accessory, she adds a pop of subtle colour with pink flats.

To attend an event with a friend, Mehr Jesia shows us how to work a little black dress with elan by pairing it with peep toe shoes, straight hair and barely there makeup.

Even at the airport, Mehr doesn't shy away from wearing her favourite shade. She's looking travel ready in a black sleeveless maxi dress with flat sandals, sunglasses and a rare ponytail.

If you thought all black could get a bit dull, the former supermodel shows us how to work it by playing with textures. Here, Mehr Jesia wears a knit bell-sleeve top with leather finish jeans, shiny patent leather pumps and a black handbag to match. How's that for having fun with fashion?

The little black dress seems to be a favourite of Mehr Jesia's. At a night out with a friend, she wears the classic outfit with matching earrings and a muted makeup look.

Looking party ready is a smiling Mehr Jesia in a black top with matching jeans, thong sandals and a black handbag. Here, her most eye-catching accessory in her shiny, flowing mane.

While flaunting a fabulous long bob hairstyle, Mehr tucks a black boxy blouse into jeans with a belt and slips on a pair of pumps. Adding a touch of colour is her fiery red pout.

Thank you for the tremendous all black style inspiration and contributing to the massive trend it is today, Mehr.
