All eyes were on actor-turned-politician Vijay as he prepared to take oath as Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister, with many expecting him to step out in a traditional shirt-and-veshti ensemble for the swearing-in ceremony. However, he caught everyone off guard by opting for a sleek black pantsuit instead.
The unexpected fashion choice quickly became a talking point, and Vijay has now revealed the reason behind his bold sartorial choice.
Vijay spoke about the attention his attire had received during his first public rally as the CM in Tiruchirappalli, weeks after assuming office.
Talking to the crowd, Vijay said, “Many people have been talking about the new suit that I have been wearing recently. Are we not allowed to wear a coat and suit? Is it meant only for people in positions of authority? There is nothing like that. I am not wearing many colours. It is just black and white, like all our hearts. The choice of these colours is to show that I will remain transparent and simple in everything, just like black and white.”
The remark drew loud cheers from supporters gathered at the rally.
Vijay went on to stress that he preferred to focus on his work rather than engage in prolonged public commentary, asserting, “I am not someone who gives lengthy explanations or speaks unnecessarily. As people know, I usually speak for less than 20 minutes at most meetings.”
Vijay’s black suit from his oath-taking ceremony was designed by Zafir and Shadab, who took to Instagram to share a video of Vijay taking the oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
