Mahesh Babu, one of Telugu cinema’s most admired stars, made a sharp style statement at Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee’s grand reception on June 8 in Hyderabad and it wasn’t with flamboyance but quiet luxury. Accompanied by his wife Namrata Shirodkar and daughter Sitara, Mahesh turned heads in a simple yet ultra-premium full-sleeve T-shirt, which has since become the subject of online chatter.

Eagle-eyed fans on social media quickly identified the T-shirt as a piece from the iconic French luxury brand, Hermes. What really sent the internet into a frenzy was the price tag ₹1,51,678. For a piece that appeared understated in style, the price stunned many, especially those from non-celebrity circles, sparking debates about celebrity fashion and lifestyle.

While the price may seem excessive to most, it aligns with Mahesh Babu’s well-known taste for refined, high-end fashion. The actor has long been associated with impeccable style, and this Hermes pick only reinforces his status as one of the most fashionable stars in Tollywood.

Fans and fashion enthusiasts took to platforms like Instagram and X to share mixed reactions. Some admired the actor’s elite styling, while others were left wondering about the practicality of such expensive clothing. Regardless of opinion, the buzz proves one thing: Mahesh Babu doesn’t just act like a superstar he dresses like one too.

In the end, while most may never dream of buying a ₹1.5 lakh T-shirt, Mahesh Babu wearing one effortlessly makes it newsworthy — a testament to both his influence and enduring appeal in the South Indian film industry.
