persists to be the epitome of style inspiration
Bollywood Legend Amitabh Bachchan turned 83 years young on Saturday 11 October. But, for him, age is just a number when it comes to making fashion statements and sporting show-stopping outfits that ooze oomph.
Be it dressed in a three-piece suit, a colour-blocked bomber jacket, or his signature headgears that instantly make him a trendsetter, Bachchan’s style remains timeless, refreshing and experimental.
Here’s a look at seven method of his style that prove why the Shahenshah of Bollywood is still the paragon of fashion inspiration — even for some Gen Z fans.
The Senior Bachchan has been a fashion icon both on and off screen. Remember his suave suits in Don? Or his classic kurta-pyjama combos in Sholay? He continues to inspire generations with his sartorial choices not only in films but also in his everyday looks.
One of his most effortlessly chic ensembles Bachchan recently sported included a graphic bomber jacket paired with cosy trousers and sneakers.
When it comes to headgear, no one does it quite like him. Be it a bandana, beanie, or simple skull cap, Bachchan carries each with panache, emerging as the OG Gen Z-approved fashion icon.
One can never have too many bomber jackets, and Bachchan proves that point quite effortlessly. In another street-style moment, he sported a feather-patterned jacket paired with black track pants. The look was perfectly complemented by a multicoloured bandana that matched the jacket’s design. Black-framed glasses and a grey scarf added the finishing touches.
What makes Bachchan’s fashion sense truly stand out is how he effortlessly balances traditional elegance with modern flair. If all-black is your go-to, recreate his look with a black turtleneck, matching trousers, and a long overcoat. Drape a maroon scarf around the neck, throw on light-framed sunglasses, and complete the outfit with classic black boots. This is how Bachchan does it.
He also knows how to keep it casual. Take a look at his laid-back white hoodie and black pants combo, styled with green socks, white sneakers and clear-rimmed glasses. It’s simple, modern and the vibes are definitely cool.
If you’re taking style notes from the veteran actor, don’t forget to accessorise with optical frame glasses — a signature part of his look that instantly adds a touch of sophistication.
Just when you think his fashion game couldn’t get better, he proves you wrong. At a fundraiser event for the Cancer Patients Aid Association in 2017, he walked the ramp in style. Exuding elegance and confidence, the superstar donned a black bandhgala kurta with intricate white floral embroidery.
