As the identical twin sister of Padma, Parvati shared her sister's long black hair, though Parvati usually wore her hair in a plait. Like her sister, Parvati usually wore a silver necklaces with the letter "P" hanging from the chains around their necks and over their ties during their Hogwarts years. The only difference in Parvati's sense of fashion compared to her sister would be her school uniform in Gryffindor's colors due to that being her house while Padma was sorted into Ravenclaw.
