Model
The Innovators | This Indonesian model is breaking down the stigma of beauty and style
Megasari Dhali's approach to fashion is characterized by simplicity, honesty, and confidence. She views clothing as an expression of identity, not simply a quest for recognition. Her style journey began as a child, shifting from a tomboyish look to ballet at the urging of her mother. She briefly dabbled in modeling before leaving it for a corporate career, then returned to fashion with a more mature and authentic perspective at the encouragement of a friend. Known for her minimal grooming routine, Megasari opts for a natural look, favoring simplicity over perfection. This philosophy is also reflected in her wardrobe—minimalist, effortless , yet sophisticated. On a daily basis, she chooses trousers for practicality, paired with a jacket or cardigan, while her role as a mother places an added emphasis on modesty.
For Megasari, style is also about context. She recalls her most authentic moments watching drag shows , an experience of freedom of expression that brought her an unexpected sense of style. Shaped by her upbringing in Malang, Surabaya, and Jakarta, and inspired by her mother's love of sewing, she developed a rich and personal sense of style. Her message to other women is simple: don't copy others' style, find confidence through comfort. With a relaxed yet elegant approach, Megasari Dhali presents a style philosophy rooted in authenticity and self-acceptance.
“I don't care what people say. As long as I'm comfortable, that's what I wear.”
