First it was slogan T-shirts reading sarcastic messages. Then came the feminist wave, thanks to Dior. Now, dominating celebrity fashion trends is the ubiquitous band T-shirt — spotted on Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra as well as singer and songwriter Ananya Birla.
What’s we love, though, is how each celebrity gives the T-shirt their own personal touch — while Katrina keeps it sophisticated by pairing her AC/DC tee with a midi skirt and heels, Ananya opts for a grunge look by styling her Iron Maiden crop tee with tight-fitted pants. Alia Bhatt adds an unexpected pair of silver hoops to her Guns N’ Roses tee while Athiya Shetty layers her The Rolling Stones tee with the perfect leather jacket.
Take inspiration from these celebrities who show us cool ways to pull off a band T-shirt.
