9 of the most iconic celebrity on-screen looks, from Dimple Kapadia's polka dot set to Deepika Padukone's blue sari
Bollywood has long been a trendsetter, not just for its music and storytelling, but for its unforgettable style moments that left an indelible mark on fashion. Some on-screen looks became instant hits, sparking trends that spilled over into everyday wardrobes, weddings, and pop culture conversations. Here's a tribute to nine of the most iconic fashion moments from Bollywood films, outfits, and styles that continue to inspire, years after they first appeared on the screen. In the 1970s, Kapadia burst onto the scene with a youthful charm that made her an instant style icon. Her polka dot knotted blouse and matching black skirt from Bobby shocked and enamoured a generation. That simple, breezy outfit became a favourite among teenagers and remains a nostalgic reference for retro fashion enthusiasts. Bold, rebellious, and ahead of her time, Zeenat Aman brought the hippie aesthetic into mainstream Bollywood with her look in Hare Krishna Hare Ram. Beaded accessories, flowing silhouettes, and oversized sunglasses captured the essence of the '70s counterculture and made Zeenat a poster girl for bohemian chic. In a film packed with youthful energy and heartfelt moments, Deepika Padukone's transformation scene in a stunning electric blue sari became a defining fashion moment of the 2010s. It inspired countless wedding looks and cocktail party styles across India. Kareena Kapoor's role as the fashionable and unapologetic 'Poo' wasn't just about witty one-liners. Her pastel sharara, featured in the iconic Bole Chudiyan song, set new standards for festive wear. With its delicate hues and modern silhouette, the look became a wedding staple, cementing Kareena's place as a Bollywood fashion trailblazer. Sometimes, it's the simplest accessories that create the most significant impact. Shah Rukh Khan's 'COOL' chain necklace, seen in several of his hit films from the '90s and early 2000s, became synonymous with cool, boy-next-door charm. Sizzling yet sophisticated, Priyanka Chopra's golden sari in Dostana took Bollywood glamour to a new level. The shimmering fabric, paired with contemporary styling, became a benchmark for modern ethnic wear. It quickly became the go-to look for red carpets and festive occasions. Not all iconic looks are about glitz. Sometimes, simplicity steals the spotlight. Deepika's understated cotton suits, with soft bindis and breezy scarves in Piku, resonated deeply with young women seeking style rooted in comfort and authenticity. Her relatable wardrobe sparked a revival of classic Indian wear for everyday fashion. Whether loved or criticised, Salman Khan's edgy haircut from Tere Naam left an undeniable imprint on pop culture. The distinct hairstyle sparked a nationwide trend, becoming both a style statement and a subject of countless conversations, proving how powerful on-screen looks can be, even when polarising. Few Bollywood costumes have the iconic status of Raveena Tandon's bright yellow sari in Tip Tip Barsa Pani. Set against the backdrop of pouring rain, the look became the ultimate symbol of Bollywood sensuality. It remains a timeless reference point for rain-drenched romantic sequences and a favourite in music video recreations.
