The year of women, bows, and bikinis!
The year 2023 witnessed some fantastic shows and films, making it big at the box office. From Barbie to Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, films by popular filmmakers added more glitz to the screens and delivered some interesting style trends. Then be it Deepika Padukone’s swimwear range in Pathaan or the newest class of Bollywood in The Archies, fashion fuelled our curiosity and inspired our closets this year. So, as we bid 2023 adieu, let’s look at some of these popular films that weaved new style trends.
Barbie
The Greta Gerwig film was not only a massive hit on the box office, but also a fashion favourite for introducing the world to Barbiecore. The year 2023 was basically the year of pink, gingham dresses and bows, marinated with a hint of feminism. The film headlined by Margot Robbie, painted our screens pink, with almost every girl hopping to the nearest shopping malls, to get her hands on Barbie-inspired pieces.
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani was another Bollywood blockbuster of the year, marking the return of filmmaker Karan Johar to the screens. The film starring Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, was not only a massive entertainer but also big on fashion trends. From Ranveer Singh’s luxurious, monogrammed outfits to Alia Bhatt’s ombré sarees designed by Manish Malhotra, romance with style was a never-ending Kahaani.
The Archies
The Archies on Netflix marked the debut of six actors from Bollywood’s next generation. Starring Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda and Khushi Kapoor in pivotal roles, the film’s vintage aesthetic was straight out of a comic book. From flouncy dresses, and ballerinas to checkered shirts, ribbons and hairbands, the film revisited fashion from the 19760s and accurately described it through the film’s beautified frames.

Thank You For Coming
The film about female orgasm was headlined by Bhumi Pednekar and co-produced by Rhea Kapoor. The story about “pleasures,” was an eye candy for fashionistas, who appreciated the film’s fashion, more than its plot. With designer lehengas and makeup trends in place, the film curated some interesting wedding fashion trends. Through the film’s promotional fashion, Rhea Kapoor turned into a trendsetter with co-ordinated, custom-made outfits for the cast.

Pathaan
The Shah Rukh Khan starrer packaged muscles, action and sex appeal. The box office hit grabbed eyeballs for many things, but most of all for SRK’s bare-chested body, long hair, and Deepika Padukone’s sultry swimwear. While Padukone’s saffron bikini became a great topic of political interest, she managed to create many style trends in collaboration with her fashion stylist–Shaleena Nathani.
