Fashion That’s Trending Among Bollywood’s Gen Z Stars -

A generation that prefers photo dumps over aesthetically curated feeds, thrifting & DIY over mindless buying, and is all about Y2K fashion (for now), almost every move by Gen Z piques our curiosity. So, we decided to find out what Bollywood Gen Z stars are currently obsessing over. Here are the results:

1. Ananya Panday – Bucket hats

Influencer Komal Pandey will tell you baseball caps are cooler than bucket hats but that won’t stop Gen Z from obsessing over the latter. Moreover, Ananya Panday loves them too. There are just so many vibrant colours and funky prints to pick from, you can’t simply look away. *Typing while dreaming of crochet bucket hats*

2. Khushi Kapoor – Cottagecore peasant dresses

Ever loved a dress so much you end up buying all colours? Khushi Kapoor did just that! The star kid posed for the ’Gram in a cottagecore peasant dress from The House of CB. The chic and feminine appeal of the dress truly stood out and it’s quite understandable why Khushi decided to buy another one in a different hue. Love it? We found a similar piece with ditsy floral online.

3. Janhvi Kapoor – Corsets

Anyone who follows the Kapoor sisters closely would know that they love corsets. During Roohi promotions, Janhvi dolled up in two corset looks back-to-back and none of us was complaining. A sexier and sassier version of the controversial corset has creept back into fashion, and thanks to the zillions of thrift stores, we can all own one at an affordable price.

4. Alaya F – Avant garde Indian wear

Be it Janhvi, Sara or Khushi, the girls love their ethnic kurtas. But we have proof that Alaya F’s love for desi wear goes beyond fuss-free kurtas and she loves slipping into an unconventional silhouette. Take her Shehla Khan looks, for instance.

The cropped jacket and skirt ensemble in ivory is the result of a beautiful melange of an offbeat design and a traditional hue. Even her lavender, thigh-high slit lehenga is something straight out of a fairytale.

5. Shanaya Kapoor – Gold-plated jewellery

Stacks of rings, snake necklaces and hoops are all components of Gen Z’s jewellery obsession. One glance through Shanaya Kapoor’s Instagram feed and you’d know why we say that the upcoming actor and the daughter of Sanjay Kapoor is obsessed with these modern, minimalist pieces. Just as Gen Z is.

While there are a slew of options available online, this one seemed more affordable.
