With the ever-growing buzz around New York Fashion Week, all eyes were on Border 2 actor Ahan Shetty as he made a quietly powerful entrance at the COS Autumn/Winter 2025 runway show. Shared via his Instagram Stories, Ahan’s look was a lesson in understated elegance – seamlessly blending Scandinavian simplicity with modern luxury.
Styled by Rahul Vijay, Ahan Shetty embraced the refined design language of COS with confidence and ease. He wore a charcoal knit cardigan, soft yet structured, layered effortlessly over a crisp white shirt that hinted at classic tailoring without overpowering the overall relaxed tone. The ensemble was completed with a pair of tailored wool trousers in a matching muted tone, further anchoring the look in COS’s signature
minimalist palette.
What set the outfit apart was not just the quality of the garments, but the way Ahan wore them with the self-assurance of someone who knows that true style doesn’t shout. His hands-in-pockets stance, calm demeanour, and the subtle smirk behind dark, angular sunglasses made for a moment that felt both editorial and authentic.
The accessories, too, were distinctly COS: streamlined, modern, and complementary without distracting. The sunglasses added a cosmopolitan edge, echoing the urban sharpness of New York while aligning perfectly with the clean lines of the outfit. His grooming was equally effortless: slick hair, a classic moustache, and a sharp jawline framed by confidence.
In a week packed with bold fashion statements and extravagant ensembles, Ahan’s look stood out for its restraint and intentionality. It was a look that spoke volumes in silence, making a strong case for the return of minimalism as a lasting fashion statement.
As the photos circulated online and buzz built around his quiet debut at NYFW, it’s clear that Ahan isn’t just stepping into the fashion conversation; he’s doing it on his own terms. With poise, polish, and a nod to quiet luxury, Ahan Shetty proved that less is, in fact, more.
