Married To Medicine's Anila Sajja Shares How To Incorporate Color Into Your Wardrobe - Exclusive
Anila Sajja joined the cast of "Married to Medicine" in 2021, and she's served one iconic look after another since making her Bravo debut. Of course, that's hardly surprising considering that the reality TV star was a fashion blogger and style influencer before she signed on with the network. A passing glance at Sajja's profile on Instagram highlights her glam wardrobe and makeup that would make MUAs bow down. Her affinity for cutting-edge fashion is providing plenty of inspiration on television screens once again since she returned for the ninth season of the beloved series.
The eternally chic star is bringing plenty of drama and no shortage of enviable style as she's getting more comfortable within the group of co-stars that includes the likes of Dr. Jackie Walters, Dr. Simone Whitmore, and Toya Bush-Harris. In an exclusive interview with The List, Sajja opened up about her sense of style. "I'm really on-trend. Anything that's in — that's in style — I'm all about it," she explained. "You can see me dressing in all types of ways, [from] even work attire to going out to the club. If it's in and it's trending, I'm all about it."
Notably, she added that her "thing" is dressing in vibrant colors. It makes her looks pop, and she shared some advice for anyone who is looking to play with more saturated hues.
Anila Sajja's advice for color novices: Don't hold back
A pop of color is guaranteed to brighten any wardrobe. However, some people have a tough time figuring out the best way to inject vibrancy into their closet. Anila Sajja's advice is fairly straightforward: Don't hold back. "I say do it," she told The List. "Color is beautiful. I know there's some people that are just into the blacks, whites, and grays, but [color] brings a lot out." In fact, you can play with more color simply by adjusting your beauty routine.
"My makeup artist will do a lot of those eyeliner colorful things under the eye to make the eyes pop. Color makes anyone pop. I say that even if you're shy from it or afraid, give it a shot. Try it. You'll be surprised how beautiful you can look with different color eyeshadows, different color liners, and then doing a different color attire, switching it out. Nothing has to even match." Sajja has proved that contrast is in by pairing blue and green with peach on Instagram.
If you're looking to dip your toe into more colorful fashion, why not take inspiration from Sajja herself and wear her favorite color? "I love pink. Pink is my favorite," she gushed. "All the different hues of pink, I'm for it. Magenta, light pink, dark pink — I'm a pink person ... I'm like Lisa Vanderpump. I love pink like she does."
Vibrant colors will be on trend in fall 2022
Fall is right around the corner, and Anila Sajja predicts another season of colorful style is on the horizon. The reality TV star shared what she expects to see trending as the weather gets colder. "For the fall I see a lot of big, oversized blazers. I still see that happening," she said. "I still see baggy pants — baggy like joggers, jeans. I still see all those trends out there with crop tops and stuff like that. Plaids, I see. It's going to be a lot more of those bold fall tones that are going to be out."
There will always be a couple of staple brands in her closet, though. "There's a couple brands that I love to wear — Balenciaga is one, Fendi. You'll see me wearing a lot of the labels, too," she said. When push comes to shove, fashion is her passion. "I was born loving fashion. Anything that's trending, that's my thing."
New episodes of "Married to Medicine" air Sundays on Bravo at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST.
