Love is in the air, as the world awaits Valentine’s Day. With a week full of love and unusual days, today we’re celebrating Teddy Day. Falling on February 10, this day is celebrated every year during Valentine’s week. On Teddy day, couples express their love for one another by gifting a teddy bear to their special someone. But the old-school way of gifting a teddy might not fit the criteria for many. So, what if instead of gifting your special someone a furry toy, you ace a hot look in faux fur? Yes, this might sound like a joke, but trust me I ain’t joking. With ever-changing trends and transitioning weather, trend charts are welcoming fur in every new way. From feather hemlines to cosy overcoats, a truck full of innovative designs is taking fur beyond the stuffed toys. Of course, using false fur/feather for their experiments, celebrities are currently acing this trend, by enjoying the playful nature of the fabric. So, to help you get ready for this twist to teddy day, let’s seek some inspiration from these stars.
Ranveer Singh
The man who never disappoints us with his style, actor Ranveer Singh has been a keeper of quirky designer outfits. In his well-decorated closet, we loved the Manish Arora, ice-blue coat on him. While promoting his film–Gully Boy, the actor gave a unique twist to furry feathers, with a lively shade of aqua blue and ombré mauve sleeves. This approach by Singh, bridged the gap between streetwear and couture, with unique fabric patches attached to the silhouette. A perfect pick for Teddy Day, the colours are interestingly quirky and will save you from the chilly weather.
Mouni Roy
Mouni Roy understood the assignment and gave us a hundred sexy ways to style faux fur. In her collection of party dresses, the actress welcomed feather hemlines, bodice designs and monumental sleeves, loaded with this ultra-soft fabric. The approach by Roy provided results in a palette of happy, party-appropriate shades, and tons of sequins, that will be a perfect choice for dinner dates at swanky restaurants.
Ananya Panday Being Poo
Just like all of us, the Gehraiyaan star’s obsession with K3G’s Poo was visible at a Halloween costume party in 2022. For this, Panday replicated Kareena’s iconic pink ensemble in the film. Just like Poo, she arrived for the party in a sparkling pink look, with a version of the infamous baguette and a dash of fur. For shoppers who wish to experiment with feathers, but find it a little too risqué, then this iconic Poo-style collar wrap can be your pick. Minimal and dipped in a subtle shade, the vintage-style collar is chic and perfect!
Jacqueline Fernandez
Just like Mouni, Ms Fernandez knows to use this fabric to fit her personal style which is always edgy. On her well-curated Instagram grid, we’ve often been served with a million versions of a feathered look, where Jacky plays with the amount of fur used from minimal-chic to extravagant OTT. Something for every kind of dresser, you can use a LBD with the twist of a furry-neckline, add a shoulder wrap to layer or even accessorise a monotone look with sparkling diamonds like the actress. All in all, the colour black in faux fur will always be a saviour if you are hesitant to wear colours.
Katrina Kaif
Ms Kaif is a keeper of classic designs that speak of her signature style. But for special occasions, Katrina is always on her toes to experiment. A glimpse of this was visible on the red carpet at Karan Johar’s 50th birthday bash when Katrina joined her husband–Vicky Kaushal in a pearl-white dress. The interesting addition to her party look, was a feather patch on one of the shoulders, that instantly elevated the simple silhouette. This design is definitely a unique purchase for special soirees or even a fancy dinner date that is not in a club.

Janhvi Kapoor
Much like her fellow actresses from Bollywood, Janhvi’s sartorial interest lies in only the best designer outfits. From designer collections for film promotions to using styling techniques to her best, the actress has a blend of both basic and bold silhouettes. Some of which also speak of her growing love for feathers. To suit her taste, Kapoor experimented with faux fur, with a twist to Swarovski crystals in a dreamy colour combination. Mixed with a hint of see-through skin colour and a light seasoning of ice blue, Kapoor’s dress from a film promotion cycle was this crystal-loaded feather dress. Recently, the actress also shared a cute chicken wings dance video of herself, wearing a baby pink feather dress, and we think it is perfect for date nights.
Happy Teddy Day!
