Having a dressing room filled with the best of international couture is just one of the many perks of being a Bollywood star. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have their favourites, tried-and-tested fallbacks that fill up more than one shelf of closet space. Tanya Ghavri, stylist to Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Katrina Kaif, spills the beans.
From guilty buys to old school basics, here’s the signature wardrobe staple your favourite celebrity just can’t get enough of:
Kareena Kapoor Khan
“Kareena prizes her basic white tees, but not many people know that she’s really into black blazers. She has them stacked by the dozens in her closet.”
Jacqueline Fernandez
“The lady has a serious shoe fetish. Whenever you meet her, she’s flaunting a new pair of statement heels that she’s just bought.”
Katrina Kaif
“Katrina is a comfort baby. Her wardrobe is dominated by jeans: skinny, boyfriend, flared; she’s gotta have ‘em all.”
Sonam Kapoor
“Her wardrobe shelves are usually crowded, but her statement sunglasses hold pride of place. She has a real eye for edgy, avant garde sunnies.”
Freida Pinto
“The one thing that you can always count on finding in her bag is ethnic jewellery, from big ticket Indian labels to street finds. She loves to collect them and later, pair it with international couture.”
