Seeing double or triple? An Iconic Bollywood costume: The Ready-made modern Sari on Vyjanthimala, Mumtaz and Leena Chandavarkar


Leena Chandavarkar in Preetam (1971) 

A near replica of Mumtaz's look from Brahmachari (1968) designed by Academy-award winner Bhanu Athaiya. 

Even further back, Vyjanthimala in Jewel Thief (1967) in a similar cut, colour, gold-stripe, accessory styling... 

As Diet Sabya would call it, "Gandi copy..." 

Actually, its pretty damn good copy!

Throback: Aishwarya Rai getting ready for Cannes

Recently, a lot of videos and images have been visible on the net of Bollywood stars getting ready for international galas like the Met Ball or Cannes - just a reminder of the OG; Aishwarya Rai. 

Before the invention of the phrase online troll, Ash was trolled for her sartorial selections. FOR NO REASON. 

She looked like a Goddess. Mere mortals can't summon queens - and they shouldn't. Aishwarya rocked it. She kicked open the doors and walked so others could run. Bow down to the OG.
