Who says the past is passé? Gen Z’s flipping Bollywood Y2K style, proving tradition’s just a remix waiting to happen.
If there’s one thing Gen Z loves, it’s standing apart from Millennials—or throwing shade at them (guilty!). While they might be the ‘know-it-alls’ of today’s world, there’s one thing even they can’t deny: the unmatched reign of early 2000s Bollywood ethnic fashion. And this festive season, they’re revamping it with their signature twist.
Back then, Bollywood’s fashion was so ahead of its time, that today’s generation can’t help but draw inspiration from it. Fast forward to today, GenZ can’t resist digging into that iconic wardrobe. And honestly, can you blame them? Kareena Kapoor Khan’s ‘Poo’ from K3G is practically a cultural reset at this point.
But let’s be real—They aren’t just here to copy-paste those looks. This Diwali season, they’re remixing early 2000s Bollywood fashion, with a touch of their own chaos. Case in point: the Y2K halter top, now drenched in sequins, and casually paired with a saree. It’s like if tradition and rebellion had a festive baby, and honestly, we’re here for it.
Freshly minted in the fashion scene, Mirchi by Kim is serving serious trendsetter energy. They’re showing us all how to ace the trend game, while staying unapologetically rooted. This festive season, they’re making sure that blending your cultural roots, with a fashion-forward twist isn’t just a vibe—it’s the power move. And we love a good ‘best of both worlds’ situation!
The buzz is all about their Blue Lay's bag, and you might wonder how anyone could pull that off. But pair it with an all-white ensemble, and suddenly, it’s the perfect dash of colour to elevate your look.
Tapping into the Diwali season, decked out in glam is the goal—but let’s be real, ordinary just won’t cut it. 21 recommends investing in brands like Twinkle Hanspal (@twinklehanspal), Studio Rigu (@studiorigu), and PURI (@wearpuri). A perfect cocktail of chic and elevated looks, perfect for the season and after that as well!
To all the simpletons out there, buck up and go crazy—you’ve still got time to be the firecracker this Diwali x
