Fashion and movies go hand-in-hand. One cannot function without the other. Be it a period drama or a musical or even an action film, our filmmakers have time and again resorted to costumes and unique ensembles to make their characters stand out.
Over the years, we’ve seen female leads change the way the fashion scene looked in their time. Be it Sharmila Tagore’s tiny bikini in An Evening in Paris that scandalised the nation at the time or Deepika Padukone’s monotone golden look as Mastani — the avatars adapted by our divas and divos in films have inspired many fashion revolutions over the years.
