01/9Here’s how these Bollywood divas have broken barriers in fashion!
‘Breaking barriers’ and ‘being pathbreakers’ is no easy task. It requires confidence and a whole lot of guts. Wouldn’t you agree? Well, luckily we've had many brave souls to take inspiration from over the years. They have done things their own way and while they have received flak for it, they stuck to their guns and went on with it anyway! Today, we’re here to talk about those who did the same, but in the scene of fashion. These Bollywood actresses have reinvented not fashion but redefined the fashion scene in their own daring ways. They have been pathbreakers in every meaning of the word and here’s proving just that! Take a look at these Bollywood divas who have redefined the fashion scene in their own unique and bold ways.
02/9Sonam Kapoor
Other than constantly growing as an actor and perfecting the art, Sonam Kapoor is also possibly B-Town’s leading fashionista. Not only is she bold with her sartorial choices but she’s gutsy and works various off-beat combinations too, making them seem effortlessly chic. Sonam can also be credited with bringing unknown international designers to the fashion scene in India as also bringing in fashion trends from across the world. While Sonam has received a lot of flak for her many sartorial choices, she has also grown to be an inspiration for millennial women, empowering them to be themselves through the clothes they wear. From sharp power-suits to elaborate lehengas to unique silhouettes and more, she has donned it all. To round up, we’d like to call Sonam the fashion influencer of now!
03/9Kangana Ranaut
She says it as she sees it and she wears her heart on her sleeve. Kangana is bold not only with her opinions but also with her style and she’s proven time and again that a little skin-show hurts no one. She keeps it classy and she does it in style. Much like Sonam, Kangana too is a fashionista of our times and she’s not just bold and daring with her style but what we love most is that she is quirky and fresh with her sartorial choices too! Kangana isn’t one to keep it simple, be it for her airport style or whilst on promotions or for her various public appearances. Kangana inspires the youth to express their opinions in a bold ‘fashion’ and we love it!
04/9Kareena Kapoor Khan
Kareena literally broke barriers when she decided to walk the ramp during her pregnancy. Walking the ramp for a well-known Indian designer, she left everyone shocked and in awe. She proved that women can go about doing what they do, pregnant or not. She looked ethereal on the ramp in an elaborate Indian ensemble and she wowed the audience proving that pregnancy can be fashionable too. She literally can be credited for making the baby bump fashionable in India and we salute her for it. We would also like to take the opportunity now to say that not just did she redefine the fashion scene but she was also spotted working and shooting for a film whilst pregnant. That is something, right?
05/9Sridevi
India recently lost one legendary actress and it would be fair to say that we, along with the nation are still mourning her untimely and unfortunate death. The actress redefined the scene in fashion by proving that age is only a number and she worked some of the most fashionable trends at her age. At 54 she was seen working this sexy shimmery jumpsuit featuring a plunging neckline and drop shoulders. She looked timeless and ethereal in almost anything and she could easily give contemporary actresses a run of their money when it came to fashion. The late legendary actress was a muse to many designers right until she passed away, Manish Malhotra to name one and this comes as no surprise considering that she was the beauty we all knew her to be.
06/9Sharmila Tagore
This evergreen actress might now be called-upon as ‘Saif Ali Khan’s mother’, however, she was quite the bomb in her days and we wouldn’t shy away from saying that while her sartorial choices might be simple now, they are classy and timeless. Tagore was a trend-setter in her days and while her beauty was undeniable, her fashion choices were in-your-face and bold! She could be credited with being one of the actresses who didn’t shy away from a little skin-show in those days and she even dared to do it on-screen in a bikini! Breaking barriers much like her daughter-in-law, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sharmila Tagore’s fashion choices, we will always remember!
07/9Zeenat Aman
She was sassy, bold, classy and sexy! From chokers to halter tops and tinted frames, she inspires the youth with her fashion choices even today! Her fashion choices were way ahead of her contemporaries. The bralet might be the rage right now, however, the actress was spotted working the piece on-screen in the seventies! Bold necklines were her thing and sexy-meets-classy was her style. Being the fashion-forward soul she is, with her vintage hoops and rudraksha maalas, she even brought in boho-chic vibes to her looks and started the trend in the country at the time. We’re always going to take inspiration from her!
08/9Rekha
‘Ethereal beauty’ are the two words that come to mind when we think of Rekha and while we bet she could pull off almost anything, Rekha, over the years has made a sort-of fashion niche for herself with her ever-increasing saree wardrobe. The actress’ stiff silk sarees are inspirational and we love how she has made the traditional drape look so fashionable keeping with just ethnicity…no dilutions. Bold gold baubles and that bright red lipstick are her two statement makers and there is no one who can work either, much like her. There is no way you can ever miss spotting Rekha if she has made an appearance, such is her fashionable aura.
09/9Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka is soaring high in her career. She hasn’t only conquered Bollywood but Hollywood too and we couldn’t be more proud of her. And while her fashion choices have been note-worthy, today we’re here to talk about how she has been bold with her makeup, thus redefining ‘beauty goals’ in the fashion scene. The actress has made berry lip tones and maroon smokey eyes the thing of today and she has never shied away from working bold makeup looks despite going bold with her sartorial choices either.
How inspirational are these women, right?
