Bollywood Saree Fashion Evolution: From Retro to Modern Trends

by FAB PIXEL on May 23, 2024
Bollywood Saree Fashion Evolution: From Retro to Modern Trends

The Bollywood industry has played an essential role in shaping the fashion industry in India. Over the years, Bollywood saree fashion has evolved from retro to modern trends, demonstrating a fusion of traditional and contemporary fashion.

Retro Era (1950s - 1970s):

It was in the 1950s that Bollywood actresses such as Madhubala and Nargis popularized the idea of wearing sarees with fitted blouses and petticoats. Traditional sarees were draped in a traditional manner, with the pallu covering the head. Fabrics usually used included silk or chiffon with intricate embroidery and embellishment.

A trend developed in Bollywood in the 1960s when Bollywood actresses like Sadhana and Sharmila Tagore wore sarees with tight churidar pajamas, which created a more sophisticated appearance. In this era, sarees were typically made of light fabrics, including georgette and chiffon, with minimal embroidery and simple designs.

As the 1970s marked the era of bell bottoms and discos, Bollywood saree fashion was also influenced by these trends. There were bold prints and bright colours in the sarees during this period. Zeenat Aman and Parveen Babi were among the first to popularize the trend of wearing sarees paired with bikini blouses to create a bold, daring look.

Modern Era (1980s - Present):

There was a period in Bollywood history that was characterized by flamboyant and glamorous saree fashion during the 1980s. A number of Bollywood actresses, including Sridevi and Rekha, popularized the trend of wearing heavy silk sarees with gold embroidery and zari work. The sarees were draped in a traditional fashion, with the pallu covering the head.

There was an improvement in Bollywood saree fashion during the 1990s, mainly due to the popularity of actresses like Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor, who wore simple yet elegant sarees with minimal embroidery and designs. With the pallu draped over the shoulder, the sarees were draped in a modern style.

The Bollywood saree fashion trend began to modernize during the 2000s. Actresses like Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor introduced the fusion trend of wearing sarees. They were draped in a modern style with a touch of Westernization. Blouses developed more innovative designs and cut-outs.

Today's Bollywood saree fashion has become increasingly diverse and inclusive. Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor have introduced the trend of wearing sarees with a modern twist to the industry. These sarees are draped in a more experimental manner, with unique cuts and designs. The fabrics used range from traditional silk to modern chiffon and georgette.

Over the years, Bollywood saree fashion has also evolved in terms of the accessories used. While actresses used to wear heavy gold jewellery in the retro era, in the modern era, they are more likely to wear minimalist jewellery. A growing trend in recent years has been the use of statement jewellery, such as chokers and long earrings.

Conclusion

Bollywood sarees from Zeel Clothing are available in both traditional and modern designs and feature the looks worn by famous Bollywood actresses. The company's collection includes sarees worn by movie stars. There are sarees for people who want to wear traditional Bollywood saree fashions with quality fabrics and attention to detail. They have everything from retro-style sarees to modern designs.
