Fabulously over 40: wiser, bolder, and still chasing dreams with laughter, style, and grace proof that life gets better with age
We would like to thank you for supporting Srivani Ambatipudi in this years competition. Your participation allows us to empower the Elton John AIDS Foundation in their mission to end AIDS for everyone, everywhere.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is polished-practical: a sleek deep neutral base with one confident accent for impact. Balance proportions and use texture over logos, anchored by a consistent signature piece and smart layers that move from classroom to conference. The result is minimal, modern, comfortable—and unmistakably ME.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Walking a Versace-style runway in a tailored black set with one bold accent—calm, confident, and clean. Long, steady strides, trench swish at the turn, hold the final pose under the lights… minimal, modern, unmistakably me.
What would you do with $20,000?
As an educator, my heart belongs to underserved children. I’d put the $20,000 toward children’s health first: specifically Cancer and HIV/AIDS support , and then toward education : scholarships and classroom resources. In practice, I’d allocate ~70% to health initiatives and ~30% to education, so kids can heal, learn, and thrive.
