Long before Bollywood’s trend of hiring stylists to get that perfect look began, women in the Hindi film industry still managed to inspire generations with their flawless and distinctive style. Right from Vijyanthimala, Nargis, Madhubala to Hema Malini, Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit, (some of who later hired stylists), everyone had their fashion game spot on without having to consult it hire stylists.
But with the whole social media game coming into play and of all places, salons, airports and gyms becoming the paparazzi's favourite place to click stars, it became almost ‘mandatory’ for stars to look stylish and impeccable each time they stepped out. And although there isn’t any compulsion per se, with some stars still travelling sporting casuals and comfy attires, others, we believe take it as an opportunity to be clicked and featured.
Also, given that during film promotions and brand events, the producers and companies dole out a huge sum to promote their film and get ‘star power and influence’ to their brand respectively, it seems obvious that Hindi cinema artistes would want to look perfect during those times.
So, to get each day’s look in place, and to maintain that the stars were either setting trends or at least following them, artistes hired stylists.
And while they are innumerable stylists doing what they do best, on the occasion of International Women’s day, we take a look at women stylists who work tirelessly and endlessly to make sure the stars look flawless and sport chic and trendy garments, also making sure of no faux pas.
Take a look.
