A repeat offender?! Lol. Hardly. Long before 'woke' fashionistas started repeating outfits ("upvote!") for a greener world and less conspicuous consumption, it was the ultimate fashion faux pas, nay, a crime for celebrities and socialites to repeat outfits - especially if they've been photographed in them.
No such an issue for Sridevi - who saved producers a lot of money by repeating looks between her south Indian and Bollywood films. Long before the internet, YouTube and Netflix, the cross pollination of movie goers was a rare occurrence (unless you were bilingual/trilingual with access to VCRs!) , Sri and the producers must have thought, this is not an issue. So Sridevi happily repeated outfits and looks over her multi-lingual flicks, the multiverses of her movies rarely intermingling.
Here are a dozen examples of Sridevi - gasp - repeating ensembles over a decade.
Update: Above, Sridevi in Naya Kadam and below, Sridevi in Vaazhvey Maayam
