Millennial Reminiscence: 8 Symbolic Bollywood Styles We Recreated, Starting at INR 699

For many years, Bollywood fashion has been recognized for setting trends. It’s reasonable to assume that the majority of inspiration for both previous generations and us millennials came from famous movie characters and their wardrobe choices. Bollywood and fashion have always been a source of inspiration, from haircuts to saree draping to scandalous crop tops. Take a look back at the eight most recognizable Bollywood looks that you can imitate.

“Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham” Starring Kareen Kapoor as Poo

“Good looks, good looks, and good looks!” In addition to Poo stating her expectations for her prom partner, this is also what we witnessed in the film, from the fashion-forward yellow sunglasses, the statement chokers, the neutral shararaa, to the red crop top and leather pants ensemble. Poo had very “it’s backless” to downright legendary style. Here’s how to recreate her prom look:

Sonam Kapoor As Aisha In ‘Aisha’

It’s safe to say that Sonam Kapoor was a style icon from birth! Her appearance, sense of style, and overall demeanor all radiate grace and elegance with great taste in clothing. Her portrayal of ‘Aisha’ was the closest she got to her real-life style decisions about attire. We adore this co-ord look the most out of all of her appearances in the film! We also reasoned that because co-ords are currently in style, you may as well recreate it.

Kajol As Anjali In ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’

We all collectively shed a tear for poor Anjali when she tried to woo the love of her life by copying the new girl in town’s style and looks. And yes, while she might have failed back then with that disaster neon pink set, we couldn’t help but wonder how bomb something inspired by that will look now, with bright pinks and power suits being back in fashion!

Sushmita Sen As Ms. Chandni In ‘Main Hoon Na’

It wasn’t just SRK who heard the violins and felt cold soft breeze across his face every time he spotted Ms. Chandni—we felt it too! Sushmita Sen, brought back chiffon sarees with a bang thanks to her iconic looks in ‘Main Hoon Na’ as Ms. Chandni. The floral, sleeves-less, halter-neck blouses only added to the charm, setting a trend that had a strong hold post 2004.

Deepika Padukone As Naina In ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’

Photo source: IMDb

From chasmish Naina to It Girl Naina, Deepika Padukone really has us in the first half of the movie. Yes, while we all might’ve seen the transformation coming (because that’s literally every movie trope ever) we still loved it! Especially her look during the Badtameez Dil song. (You know exactly what I’m talking about). It’s effortless, graceful, and features a saree. What’s not to love?

Zoya Akhtar films have a special place in all our hearts. What we love about them is not only the characters, the plot-lines, and the bougie lifestyles we can only wish to live, we love how all her characters are so effortlessly fashionable! Each with their own style and looks. One we love is Priyanka Chopra as Ayesha in Dil Dhadakne Do which is not only urban chic and super stylish, but easy to recreate too.

Deepika Padukone As Piku In ‘Piku’

Piku’s character was not only bold, fearless, and at times hella relatable, but also her fashion style was something that stood out. And not because it was over the top, or fancy, it was just so simple. From simple kurta sets, to totes (which we love) This character dressed like us, so we decided to take more inspiration from her!
