Maturity is when you realise that wearing a new outfit every day isn’t cool. It’s neither practical nor sustainable and a true fashionista is one who restyles and re-wears. Even our Bollywood divas agree!
I’ve recently noticed more and more actresses attempting to get the most wear out of a single piece. The secret is in the styling! You can style a piece of clothing in various different ways, saving not only your money but also the environment.
Need some inspiration? Let’s look at these celebs who repeated outfits like absolute pros:
Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt is a proud outfit repeater! The actress gave us some stunning maternity looks, with the peacock blue velvet Sabyasachi sharara being a major hit. She initially wore the ensemble with a black bindi and oxidised jhumkas for her movie promotions. The actress repeated the outfit for her sister-in-law, Anissa Jain’s baby shower! Only this time, she skipped the earrings in favour of a heavy maangtikka!
Bhumi Pednekar
Bhumi Pednekar‘s recent looks are proof that she’s upped her fashion game in a big way! I’m also glad she believes in the concept of re-wearing and restyling. Bhumi wore a ruched, bodycon purple dress with feather details for her byte in The Romantics. Turns out, the actress had worn the same attire for a commercial too!
Malaika Arora
Malaika Arora is an evergreen fashion icon. The diva set a trend as she stepped out for dinner in a pair of holographic denims. She paired them with a nude ganji and her Fendi tote bag. A few weeks later, Malla wore the same pair of denims with a white silk shirt and carried a Gucci sling. I definitely want to steal these pants from her closet!
There isn’t just one instance when Malla has repeated her clothing. The diva is a pro when it comes to restyling. She even showed us how to wear one white dress as casual wear as well as for a date night. This is proof that a simple blazer can do wonders!
Deepika Padukone
A white shirt is a long-term investment. Deepika Padukone first wore a black corset over her oversized white shirt and teamed it with blue denims and black heels. Only a few weeks later, the actress restyled the shirt in a sporty way. She wore the shirt with black biker shorts, a matching fanny, and gleaming black sneakers. What a star!
DP has also given us lessons on how to repeat your traditional wear like a pro. The actress elegantly restyled her sheer black Sabyasachi saree. She wore the saree with an embroidered blouse and a side-parted bun at first, but nearly a year later, she wore it with a full-sleeved solid black blouse and the signature Sabya belt.
Sara Ali Khan
One kurta, two different looks! Back in 2018, Sara paired her white silk kurta decked in zari work with a matching churidaar and a sheer orange dupatta. A year later, the starlet wore the same kurta when she visited Manish Malhotra’s residence. But this time, she opted for a monotone look. A lesson on how a simple dupatta can be a game-changer!
If you’re an aspiring fashionista, then you must know that repeating and restyling is the new cool. Spend less, save more. Buy less, style more!
