Indian Bollywood Fashion Through Decades: 1960s to Present
By
Posted on
From romantic chiffon saris to sexy bikinis, we pick out the
most iconic Indian Bollywood fashion to see how it evolved from 1960s to
2010s.
Bollywood, the Hindi film industry, is one of the largest film productions in world. This industry is famous for producing a vast variety of movies, representing different styles and looks of the Indian lifestyle.
While the period right after the Indian independence – 1940s to 1960s is known for producing the most critically acclaimed Indian movies ever, the period 1960s onwards gradually picked up on other elements like cultural nuances and opulent fashion, colorful song and dance routines. These are the elements that Bollywood is really known globally for, even today.
In India, Bollywood is the trendsetter in fashion even more than the runways. From 1960s to the present decade, fashion has evolved tremendously in the Indian film industry. As the role and personality of the Indian woman evolved, so did her style. So let’s explore how the style and trends changed in Indian film industry over these decades.

As the role and personality of the Indian woman evolved, so did her style. So let’s explore how the style and trends changed in Indian film industry over these decades.
Evolution of Indian Bollywood Fashion
Indian Bollywood Fashion: 1960s
Bollywood and fashion have a profound relation. They have always influenced each other. In India, fashion often takes its cues from cinema. Indian Bollywood fashion in the 1960s underwent many changes in dressing, both for men and women. Colors, styles, hairdos – everything evolved. While the iconic film Mughal-e-Azam showcased heavy, opulent jewelry and dresses, movies like Brahmachari had shorter blouses and tightly-draped saree that became the trend in that era. Swimsuits also came into the picture in this decade. Makeup remained simple with beautiful winged eyeliner.
Indian Bollywood Fashion: 1970s
Fashion was fast evolving during the 1970s. It was decade of experimentation with bright, bold pieces, like polka dotted crop tops, mini dresses and colorful saris in films like Bobby and Johny Mera Naam. This decade also saw a new trend of thigh-high slits and bikinis. In makeup, the winged eyeliner prevailed. Denim shirts and flared pants were in vogue for men during this period. This was the era where the womenswear started being inspired by menswear – borrowing elements like flared pants and buttoned shirts.
Indian Bollywood Fashion: 1980s
The transition from the aberrant 70s to the expressive 80s was smooth, fashionable and stylish. This decade exhibited not just the chic off-shoulder tops but also salwar suits in Maine Pyar Kiya, and sultry chiffon saris in Mr. India. One can’t remember this demure decade without the mention of Disco Dancer and its the glittery silver and golden costumes. The rugged denims and biker jackets made famous by Maine Pyar Kiya‘s Salman Khan made their way into every man’s wardrobe. 1960s had loud lip colors and bright makeup. Hairstyles involved double braids, loose curls and buns.
Indian Bollywood Fashion: 1990s
The Indian films in 1990s focused on fashion like those in any other decade. The first half of 90s was all about ethnic-wear – long sleeves and sheer dupattas with short blouses. During the later half of the decade, things toned down with crop tops, shorts, off-shoulder, halter necks and denim overalls. Movies like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Dil To Pagal Hai introduced the trend of athleisure, where sportswear became acceptable as casual day-time clothing. The 90s Bollywood fashion has been responsible for some of the latest western fashion trends in India that are prevalent even in this decade.
Indian Bollywood Fashion: 2000s
Going from sexy chiffon saris to the girl-next-door tees and jeans, the noughties focused on wearability and latest dresses. Bollywood fashion became all about crop tops, bikinis, tees paired with palazzos, shorts and micro-minis. The sexy chiffon sarees prevailed, too, but now just reduced to romantic dream sequences!
Indian Bollywood Fashion: 2010s
From short-shorts or skirts to strapless gowns, this decade is witnessing the unfurling of vivacious fashion statement. Bold printed crops tops, shirts and mini-dresses are very trendy in this era. While movies like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara made boho-dresses and chic Bollywood tops with the vacation vibe popular – keeping in mind the woman who does solo travels, the likes of P.K. displayed the wardrobe of career women.

actress of Indian cinema.
In the early 1900s, acting in film or theatre
was a taboo for women, so much so Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian
cinema, had to use male actors to female role in first Indian film, Raja Harishchandra, however with its success, female actress were encouraged, thus he introduced Kamat in his 1913 second movie Mohini Bhasmasur as a leading lady Parvati, while her daughter Kamlabai Gokhale

first female child actress of Indian cinema. After Kamat other actress

She
was among the few girls who entered films at a tender age during a time
when it was not considered an appropriate profession for girls from
respectable families, let alone Royalty. Born in Surat city of Gujarat
in western India, Zubeida was a Muslim princess, the daughter of Nawab
Sidi Ibrahim Muhammad Yakut Khan III of Sachin State and Fatima Begum.
She had two sisters, Sultana and Shehzadi, both actresses.
..............................................................................
Bollywood Actress Bikini: 1960s
Of course, the bikini started by not being a bikini at all. Tanuja wore a backless swimsuit with an overskirt that made it look like what can today be called a party slip dress! What I love the most about this look is that her swimsuit is backless and yet comfortable to swim in. This Bollywood bikini style was the beginning of swimwear in Indian cinema.Movie: Chand Aur Suraj
Actress: Tanuja
Year: 1965
It’s common for Bollywood to take its style inspiration from Hollywood. Back in the 60s, it took a few years for trends to make their way to the east. The 50s Marilyn Monroe style bikini was taking over Bollywood by storm in the 60s. It was a bikini and it was sensuous. Sharmila Tagore was one of the first actresses to sport it. The leopard print bikini she wore for a magazine shoot was too sexy to handle.
Back in the sixties, the Bollywood bikini body used to be curvy, as this was to the era in which a curvy body was considered fit and sexy. She also sported a blue one-piece swimsuit in the movie, An Evening in Paris, which was apt for swimming and sailing. Not overtly sexy, but empowering nonetheless. But it was fashionable, too, with prints and the bright color complementing her.

Indian Actress Bikini: 1970s
In the 70s, Bollywood bikini was all about adornments and experimentation. There were cut outs, embellishments and ruffles. Nutan wore a slip dress-esque swimsuit, which was popular as a 60s Bollywood bikini style, with side cutouts. She accessorized it with a hat for a beach look.And one can never forget the famous look by Dimple Kapadia worn in the movie, Bobby. The simple yet elegant two-piece bikini was sensuous, hot and she stole a million hearts with it. The curves were relatable, unapologetic and real before gymming and heavy photo-editing became fashion industry essentials.

Bollywood Bikini of 1980s
By the 80s, some of Bollywood’s top actresses had rocked swimsuits. However, the eighties was the era where the swimsuit was used to grab attention rather than for swimming. The looks were chic and elegant but also too decorative. They were more like posing costumes rather than swimming attire, accessorized with makeup, chic haircuts, sarongs and jewelry. Parveen Babi popularized sarongs in the movie, Yeh Nazdeekiyan. However, in the late 80s, the one-piece swimsuit made a comeback, which would continue in the nineties. Madhuri Dixit sported the sports style bikini in the movie, Tezaab. The subtle makeup look was back and the bikini was worn to serve the purpose.Movie: Yeh Nazdeekiyan
Actress: Parveen Babi
Year: 1982
Actress: Zeenat Aman
Actress: Madhuri Dixit
Movie: Tezaab

Bollywood Heroines in Bikini: 1990s
The 90s was influenced heavily by the famous American series, Baywatch. Swimwear became about the sport, not about casually lounging around a beach. The looks became unadorned but yet attractive. The single piece bikini made a comeback but the bodies were super toned compared to the earlier decades. High-leg swimsuits became trendy with a peek of the cleavage.Both the actresses of the movie Baazigar, Kajol and Shilpa Shetty, sported Baywatch style printed monokinis. Size zero was not a thing yet, but having a fit body was given much more importance. Also, the same style continued throughout the nineties with actresses like Juhi Chawla and Urmila Matondkar sporting ’em.

Bollywood Bikini Babes of 2000s
The decade of sporty pool-wear gave way to the glam, sensationalist naughties. Too much of experimentation was done with the Bollywood bikini. From metallics to prints to donning makeup, the list is endless. It was quite funny to see them onscreen, too. The string bikinis became popular along with hardware details like links and stones. From Minissha Lamba to Bipasha Basu to Tanisha Mukerji, almost all the actresses sported the skimpy string bikini. Some of 80s Bollywood bikini was back. The looks were created for photoshoots but not to take a dip in the pool.The 2000s also saw overdone accessories like multiple necklaces, cuffs, bracelets, finger rings and what not. Amrita Arora wore heels with a bikini. The 2000s missed the definition of swimwear, completely. The tacky makeup told the viewers swimwear is not functional to take a dip in the sea but only meant to be eye-candy in the movies.
And the bikini had to be sported with a perfect body. There was no room for extra flabs or fat in the body. Such a siziest era. Of course, Kareena Kapoor popularized “size-zero” and made it worse. The decade did play an important role, however. With major Indian female celebrities sporting bikinis either in the movies or in a photoshoot for magazine editorials, the clothing item became a rite of passage for Bollywood actresses.

Best Bollywood Bikini: 2010s
In the early 2010s the concept of feminism started to be taken seriously. So, this is an era where actresses are actually wearing what suits them without over accessorizing or succumbing to trends. Whether one is curvy or thin or fat, everyone are donning them with confidence. It is also the decade where wearing a bikini is no longer a big deal. Bollywood is helping normalize sporting one onscreen or off screen. A sculpted model-like body is neither unnecessary nor apologetic, everything is okay.For example, Alia Bhatt donned a bright yellow color bikini in the movie, Student of The Year. She sported it with all ease and no abs. Also, Shraddha Kapoor wore a bralette top paired with a sarong and looked fabulous. And one cannot miss, Anushka Sharma’s sports style bikini in the movie, Jab Tak Hai Jaan. We guess the decade of empowerment through fashion is really here in India. Hope we never go back to the dark ages of having to wear something just because you’re expected to!!

by Dipali Patel
For centuries, women have been relegated to the sidelines. We have fought hard, and are still fighting hard to be treated as equals. Choosing a career, let alone a career that many looked down upon, must not have been easy for these trailblazing women. Cinema, for the longest time, was never a career deemed fit for a 'respectable woman'. But these women broke the mould.
These pioneering women of Hindi cinema, made it easier for thousands of women to dream. From India's first stunt woman to first female director, these women truly blazed the trail.
1. Durgabai Kamat - The First Female Actor
Acting in film or theatre was a taboo for women in the early 1900s, so much so that Dadasaheb Phalke had to rope in a male actor to portray the role of a female in his first Indian film, Raja Harishchandra. Only after its success, actresses were encouraged, therefore he introduced Kamat in his 1913 second movie Mohini Bhasmasur as the leading lady.
2. Kamlabai Gokhale - The First Female Child Actor
Kamlabai, the daughter of Durgabai Kamat, made her first stage appearance at the age of four. She made her acting debut along with her mother in Dadasaheb Phalke's Mohini Bhasmasur and was last seen in Gehrayee (1980). She worked in around 35 movies.
