Time and again, Bollywood has gifted us iconic fashion moments that continue to inspire trends today. It’s not just about the outfits, it’s the way our favorite superstars carry their looks with effortless charm that keeps us hooked to the glamour of Indian cinema.
Who could forget Geet’s unforgettable red skirt from Jab We Met? Kareena Kapoor Khan truly served a timeless style moment, she ate and left no crumbs! While fashion in 2025 has taken a fresh turn (bye-bye, skin-tight jeans, and we’re not mad about it), there are still countless Bollywood movie outfits that remain relevant, wearable, and super stylish even today. Let’s rewind, and explore some of the most trending Bollywood fashion looks that you can actually recreate and slay in 2025.
Half Girlfriend — Riya’s Wardrobe Deserved an Award
If you didn’t watch Half Girlfriend for the plot, watch it for Riya’s wardrobe. Seriously, her outfits are so iconic, they almost make you forgive Arjun Kapoor’s acting. From start to finish, Shraddha Kapoor as Riya Mehra serves effortlessly chic college girl looks that still hold up in 2025.
One standout style is her signature pairing of shorts with flowy shrugs, which she carries with such ease that you’ll want to recreate the look immediately. In the song Baarish, Riya wears a white top with a silver sequin skirt at an upscale club, and yes, that look still lives rent-free in our heads.
She also pulls off a gorgeous white mini dress with a dainty white hairband and minimalist jewelry in the same song soft, feminine, and totally chic. And let’s not forget the dreamy outfits in “Thodi Der”, where every look perfectly matches the song’s aesthetic.
We love Riya for her voice, her vibe, and most definitely for her fashion sense that would still slay on a 2025 college campus.
Cocktail – Veronica, The “It” Girl of Bollywood
When it comes to being the ultimate Bollywood IT girl, Veronica does it best. Deepika Padukone’s beauty is undeniable, and in Cocktail, she truly embodies modern glam with effortless confidence. From her bold party shorts to that unforgettable red kurta she wears to impress Gautam, every outfit reflects Veronica’s bold, free-spirited personality. Whether she’s dancing in a club or delivering emotional depth, her wardrobe is consistently iconic.
In one of the party scenes, Veronica stuns in a black cut-out mini dress paired with high heels, and minimal accessories. The look is bold, modern, and everything that makes you go “Wow!” And of course, we can’t skip the black saree look from “Second Hand Jawaani”, which is still a top pick for any Desi Outfit Day. Even a decade later, Veronica’s looks in Cocktail remain timeless fashion inspiration for 2025.
OK Jaanu – Tara, The Trendsetter
Tara, the ultimate corporate girlie from OK Jaanu, serves one iconic look after another. Whether she’s rocking striped trousers while laughing in the bathtub with Adi or slaying a full denim-on-denim outfit, every look screams TARA – carefree, and fashion-forward. We also see her running around town in casual overalls, perfectly reflecting her playful, and fun-loving personality. And who can forget that dreamy blue dress from the song “Enna Sona”, twirling effortlessly with Adi? Every outfit adds another layer to her style story. Though OK Jaanu was released in 2017, Tara’s wardrobe continues to offer major Bollywood fashion inspiration for 2025. These outfits are not just memorable, they’re totally wearable, and still on-trend today.
Dear Zindagi – Kaira, the Sleek Cinematographer
Kaira’s wardrobe is truly one to die for. Her ability to pair bold colors like yellow, and green so gracefully feels more like art than fashion. And yes, if you remember she even uses her school jacket in one of the scenes. She pulls it off so casually, it feels iconic. One constant throughout the film is her signature golden neckpiece, adding a subtle but personal touch to every outfit. From flowy tops with ripped shorts to laid-back beachwear, and messy buns, Kaira’s looks are both relatable and aspirational. Her occasional glasses add character, and personality, making her vibe feel even more real, and raw.
As the film progresses, and Kaira begins to heal, thanks to Jug (yes, we love him too), her wardrobe evolves with her. We start to see brighter colors, softer fabrics, and a mix of casual, and dressy pieces reflect her growing confidence, and emotional honesty.
Raabta – Saira, the slayer
Saira’s wardrobe in Raabta is highly underrated, and it’s time we give it the credit it deserves. She wears some of the most stunning yet effortless outfit combinations, and somehow no one’s talking about it. For example, in the song Darasal, she stuns in a cute red top paired with white pants, and a casual side braid, a look that’s both romantic, and fresh. Her fashion choices in the film are consistently simple yet impactful.
These outfits are often paired with natural, wavy hair, and soft, minimal makeup, reinforcing her easygoing charm, and youthful vibe. From breezy dresses to coordinated separates, Saira’s looks are perfect for Gen Z, and millennials looking for 2025 casual chic fashion inspiration. Her style proves that you don’t need to go over the top to make a statement, you just need confidence, comfort, and a great color palette.
When it comes to fashion, Bollywood never takes a back seat. From Priyanka Chopra’s bold outfits in Dostana to Sonam Kapoor’s ultra-chic wardrobe in Aisha, the list of iconic Bollywood movie looks is truly endless. And with every new film release, we’re hopeful that Bollywood’s fashion evolution will keep surprising us, and continue to be an inspiration for generations to come!
