Musicians for many years have been serving as style icons. Be it legendary singer Usha Uthap’s signature bold bindi or Bappi Lahiri’s obsession with gold, these iconic voices have carved a distinct identity for themselves. With the tradition of wearing the best of trends or at times making one as they take the centre stage, musicians across the globe have urged their listeners to tune into their fashion choices as well. I mean look at the BTS boys for instance. A large part of the world’s biggest fan army is not just keeping up with the Korean pop band’s latest tracks but is consciously following their favourite star’s footsteps when it comes to fashion. Counting on high-end brands and a closet that helps them be the architect of not just a recognisable tune but a wardrobe that makes the right move. After all, Diljit Dosanjh too reflected his love for high-end labels when he said “Tainu Jimmy Choo Le Dunga, Ni Matha Paunda Nal Bhid Lain De” ( I will buy you a pair of Jimmy Choo, let me earn some pounds). And that’s just how, many Indian musicians are carving the face of Indian music that tends to borrow inspiration from globally acclaimed artists and fashion icons like Rihanna, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez and so on. Paving the way for some great taste, these 5 female Indian singers are style idols in the making and we are so in love with their closet.
