Radhika Apte is having a moment: the Tamil Nadu-born actress began acting in theatre, before appearing in a smattering of films from 2005 onwards.

But it's in recent years that her fame has really risen, starring in The Wedding Guest, Andhadhun, Sacred Games, Pad Man, Chithiram Pesuthadi 2 and Bombairiya in the past two years alone. In particular, her work in Netflix's Sacred Games and Lust Stories have helped her find global fame.

And she's really upped her fashion game as of late, too: scroll through the gallery above to see 20 of her best fashion moments from the past five years.

Her style evolution shows her going from being an experimental dresser (with varied results) to a woman with a truly confident sense of personal style.

We love how she's now owning the dark red lip, subtle metallics, pant suits and simple, slick hair.

She's now styled by Who Wore What When, a Mumbai company run by stylists Pranay Jaitly (pictured below) and Shounak Amonkar, who also work with Kalki Koechlin, Mrunal Thakur and Richa Chadha. It seems they really 'get' her look.

Here she is in Bibhu Mohapatra, styled by the Who Wore What When team:

And here she is wearing Gaurav Gupta:

Although, even before she worked with the styling duo, she had some great fashion moments, as shown by this AMPM Fashions suit:
