Paper Title: The Semiotics of Slip Fashion: Shweta Tiwari’s Style Gallery as a Case Study in Indian Television Celebrity Fashion Abstract This paper examines the visual representation of actress Shweta Tiwari’s fashion choices, with a focus on her “slip” or minimalist bodycon dressing style as documented in online fashion galleries. Analyzing public images from events, social media, and paparazzi coverage, it argues that Tiwari’s slip-fashion aesthetic challenges ageist norms in Indian entertainment while influencing mid-30s to 40s female fashion audiences. The study uses qualitative visual analysis and fan engagement metrics. 1.
