Their signature looks are still celebrated today. They broke old trends and set new fashion standards

Sharmila Tagore was the first Bollywood actress to do a bikini photoshoot and wear a swimsuit in An Evening In Paris. She was ahead of her time and made the dramatic cat-eye look famous

Rekha was bold beyond her time. She truly set a benchmark for women in India and kept dismissing stereotypes

Zeenat Aman brought a bold and modern style to Bollywood. She made polka dots, sequins, and bohemian prints trendy, especially in Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971). Her bikini look in Heera Panna (1973) and business-chic style in Don (1978) set new fashion standards

Sridevi’s unique fashion sense, from quirky costumes to permed hair, set trends in her time. Her look in Hawa Hawaii, with the famous fruit headgear, is unforgettable

Since winning Miss World in 1994, Aishwarya Rai has been a style icon. She has dazzled at international events like Cannes, wearing elegant gowns and beautiful sarees
