A Sky Full of Stars on the Dupatta from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
The year Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam released and everyone saw Aishwarya Rai romancing the lead in her lavender embellished lehenga, Masterjis and tailors everywhere had just one task on their hand. This look of hers as she sings Chand Chupa Badal Mein became a fashion inspiration and continues to dazzle on smaller screens. Here’s where you can get a similar star-studded lavender lehenga.
White Swan from Taal
The 1999 movie Taal had quite the journey, both with the character arc and the wardrobe of Aishwarya’s character. While in the first half, she was in simple, comfy clothing, the second half saw draped skirts, halterneck crop tops, chic bralettes, dresses and sleek contemporary fits, all styled with on-point jewellery. The poster look of hers with the white dhoti-style skirt, scallop neckline crop top and a white shirt with statement oxidised jewellery was the IT look. Here’s where you can get a similar skirt top to recreate the look. Just make sure to grab a plain white shirt too!
