13 years ago, Ranveer Singh’s debut in Band Baaja Baaraat familiarised us audiences with his astounding range and appetite to traverse down the road less travelled. Since then, he’s proved his mettle, courtesy a varied roster of films with romantic drama Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani set to release in a couple of weeks.
While his acting chops have always been the talk of the town, there’s one thing he’s revered equally for, if not more – that being his bullet-proof sense of style. Be it a red carpet premiere, a trailer launch or an award show, Singh’s sartorial explorations will easily enjoy the front page treatment the very next morning. If you happen to harbour any doubts regarding this claim of ours, here’s a breakdown of his most impressive looks in the recent past.
James Dean Who?
Channeling the macho ‘esque vibe of the quintessential 50s bad boys brigade, Ranveer Singh could easily portray John Travolta’s character Danny in an Indian remake of Grease. The sleeveless leather jacket and the chunky silver chain does wonders for his already potent on-camera persona and we’re all for it.
Black Tie Clubbing
Look, I’m the last person to gravitate towards anything doused in shimmer and that is certainly why this look deserves a place on the list. I’m surprisingly not repulsed by the high octane shine of the sequinned bomber and the pared down styling underneath is to be blamed. Or thanked.
Prim And Proper
A match made in heaven, Ranveer dalliance with Gucci has strengthened his positioning as a not only a domestic but also a global fashion icon. Lensed here in Gucci’s collaboration with sportswear giant Adidas, it’s of note how he manages to pair a beret (a green one even?) alongside a sharp double breasted suit.
Suave Singh
Speaking about global dominion, this particular look is from Ranveer’s outing in NYC for the Tiffany & Co. event, marking the opening of ‘The Landmark.’ With a silver chain, diamond studs and gemstone brooches placed strategically on the left lapel, Singh successfully demonstrates his penchant to ace the lesser explored jewellery realm. Men, take notes.
Barbiecore Has Arrived
Wouldn’t be an exaggeration if we argued that Greta Gerwig missed out on casting an Indian Ken in her upcoming fantasy comedy film ‘Barbie.’ Here, dressed in Valentino’s quintessential striking pink, the head-to-toe monotone ensemble makes a plausible case for the Barbiecore trend.
Real MVP
Touted the brand ambassador for NBA in India, Ranveer Singh style has always had a sporty undercurrent to it. Spotlight on this all black athleisure pairing combining leather and knit seamlessly whilst letting the LV logogram blur effect shine through.
Parisian Garçon
Un billet pour paris, s’il vous plait. Seen sporting the Parisian ‘esque trend once again, the fluid blouson top adorned with a ruffled trim on the placket might give Harry Styles’ sartorial choices a run for their money. Safe to say, in Ranveer we trust.
