When actor-turned-politician C Joseph Vijay took the oath as the Chief Minister on May 10, all eyes were on his black-and-white suit. In a State where politicians have long favoured the classic white shirt-and-veshti, the blazer stood out significantly.

Weeks later, Vijay has made this look his official uniform standing out in a sea of white at the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. According to sources, his premium custom suits cost around ₹1 lakh to ₹1.25 lakhs.
