Manasa Varanasi dresses like she’s permanently in front of the soft-focus frame of a rom-com.
But every now and then, the Couple Friendly actress switches lanes and drops a look so bold, so unexpected, that it looks like she changes genres in real life.
Here are some of her cutest rom-com moments and her surprise edgy detours.

IMAGE: This is peak rom-com energy. In a soft floral dress with a fresh no-makeup look, she looks like the girl the hero notices across a street in slow motion and falls in love with at first sight.
IMAGE: In a blush pink ruched dress with balloon sleeves, Manasa looks like she wakes up in a meadow, bakes muffins and sings to birds.
