You can see how her character's style has influenced her personal style IRL as well. "I would say that Kamala's style is almost a reflection of my style and vice versa," Richa said.
"It is fun to play characters who dress completely different than you in real life, but there's also something very special about feeling like you and your character are style twins. I actually wear a gold bangle on one of my wrists in real life all the time given to me by my great-grandmother (an accessory that many South Asian women wear variations of), and Salvador let me wear it on set as a character choice for Kamala. Little details like that made me feel even more connected to my character."
As for any fun styling tips she picked up from the wardrobe department while filming, Richa said: "Kamala tends to wear a lot of layers, like a cute blazer over a simple top, which can be very convenient when I don't have much time to decide what to wear, so I've started doing that!"
The actress, along with her costar Poorna Jagannathan, loves to support South Asian designers. "On the show, both Poorna and I wear a lot of Anita Dongre. I love her brand because of its sustainability mission. Another South Asian female-owned brand I love is Amaré, which makes sustainable vegan leather purses and bags. Their whole mission is to raise awareness about endangered animals, and their bags are handcrafted by artisans in Italy using eco-friendly, plant-based materials. A couple of other South Asian designers I am a big fan of are Papa Don't Preach by Shubhika and Prabal Gurung."
