Remember those days when a Bollywood film could set fashion trends single -handedly? Madhuri Dixit she was fashion events. But today, that kind of craze is rare. Why? Let’s break it.
Back during the day, people saw Bollywood for style inspiration, and the trends stick for years. Now, thanks to social media, the fashion changes almost overnight. Influencers and celebrities show new forms daily, and rapid fashion brands provide them immediately. By the time a film is released, a similar style is already flooded in stores, making movie-inspired fashion less exclusive.
Fashion designer, Rohit Verma, Over the years, India has developed considerably in terms of fashion. Today’s youth are very creative and fashionable. Social media, influential, Fashion Week and Media have taken over, making people more experimental with their style. Through social media, individuals now find inspiration and create their own unique forms.
If you compare daily soap from 20 years ago, you will see a complete change in fashion trends. The youth now want to determine their trends. Earlier, Bollywood movies and magazines were the primary source of fashion inspiration. Now, thanks to social media, the whole world has become a shared place for fashion effects.

Today, movies lend to realistic style-more practical, over-the-top, statement-making look instead of wearing everyday. As a result, the outfits mix instead of standing out.
Costume designers now focus on authenticity rather than fantasy. Varnas wear clothes that will be real people-hai-world brand, comfortable fit and casual style. This innings makes fashion more reliable but less prestigious in films.
Dress designer and stylist, Rohit Chaturvedi, Fashion, in many ways, has gone away from cinema. Now we are in the era of extremely realistic films that resonate with the public, which has reduced the aspirational value of the film fashion once. Two decades ago, the directors will ask for attractive fashion elements, especially in films, but now, stories are deeply inherent in realism, reducing that effect. Meanwhile, fashion as an industry thanks to social media and Instagram, allowing the public differently. The brands have become more accessible and inexpensive, making fashion trends more widely available to people. The era when Bollywood decided to fashion-as when Bunty and Balli and Main Hoon Set were the final stages of trends-film-driven fashion. Now, we no longer look at such fashion waves. The only example of a goods-powered tendency was in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, where Salman Khan’s Hanuman Gadh locket gained popularity. But beyond this, the trends of film fashion have faded to a great extent.
Has social media changed the game?
Earlier, people waited for films to set fashion trends. Now, they follow celebrities on Instagram, get style tips from the affected, and shop directly from social media advertisements. Instead of waiting for Deepika Padukone’s next film, fans copied her airport. Alia Bhatt’s wedding outfits receive more attention than her on-screen wardrobe. Fashion inspiration is everywhere – now there is no monopoly on it.
Fashion and Make Up Artist, Deepash Shah: Fashion trends change much faster than ever. Even more importantly, film actors now promote new fashion trends outside films through fashion shows, photoshoots and social media, which limits the impact of film-based fashion trends. Additionally, television shows have also started shaping fashion trends.
