7 Bollywood Divas Who Show Us How Power Dressing Is Done

Written by Niharika Nayak, BA (Media & Communication)  • 

Power dressing is all about owning your style in fashion and taking a risk. While many assume power dressing is super masculine and not flattering to the female figure, we have seen so many famous Bollywood celebrities own the look and take on the haters. Although power dressing came into the picture waay back in the 80s, it took some time for the trend to truly gain popularity on our shores. Today, power dressing has transformed into a more semi-formal and colorful way of expressing your sense of style. It is bold, vibrant, and most definitely powerful. Here are some of our favorite celebrity power dressing looks:

  • Janhvi Kapoor

Who said power dressing is masculine? Janhvi Kapoor plays with a funky hot pink suit and pairs her uber gorgeous look with some large hoop earrings and a spicy red lip. The gorgeous Dhadak actress decided to take the plunge and wear a rather revealing neckline and we are so here for it. The flared bottom on her pants makes the look even more unique and we can see she inherited her incredible sense of style from her equally gorgeous mother, Sridevi.

  • Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi carries off this odd combination of a long skirt and blazer with some ultimate finesse. The Dabangg actress rocked this Mohit Rai creation in some signature black strappy heels and a statement necklace. Her slicked back hairstyle and smokey eye makeup were just the cherry on top to complete this bold and striking look.

Did somebody call for the moon? Karisma rocked this unique crescent moon themed blazer and trousers with a pair of sleek nude pumps and some vibrant pink makeup. This look is perfect for your next major meeting at work. The actress also rocked a custom piece of jewelry on her right hand and we could not be more over the moon for it (pun totally not intended).

Sonam Kapoor is considered a fashion icon for a reason. The actress has won the fashion police over multiple times and is known for rocking extremely bold and vivacious looks in public. So, it is no surprise that she makes it to our list. Often called the queen and pioneer of Indian power-dressing, Sonam’s puffy polka-dotted pantsuit look won the hearts of many among her Insta fans. The shoulder pads, black flats, and sling bag just add that extra taste of oomph to her look.

Although you might be thinking that Alia’s look is a little loud, it would actually make quite an impressive statement at a party or art event. The striking look suits Alia perfectly and works with her goody-two-shoes look in general. Style this look with a nice pair of brown wedges to give the look an extra sense of pizazz.

  • Kareena Kapoor-Khan

On the off chance that you need to make a really bold statement, give this deconstructed belted-overcoat look, like the one Kareena is wearing, a shot. The Tashan actress pulls off this outfit with a finesse only someone of her caliber can hold. Famed fashion designer and sister of Sonam Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor was the genius behind this interesting suit.

  • Neena Gupta

Trust Neena “Zyada” Gupta to steal the show with her powerful and gorgeous look. The Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro actress is known for her vivacious personality and “hatke” attitude towards life. She is often spotted rocking her own daughter, Masaba Gupta’s gorgeous creations. The stunning actress is known for dressing according to her own wants and needs and doesn’t give a damn about “Log Kya Kahenge”. Although trench coats aren’t very popular these days, Neena rocks this look with a super stylish white dress and her signature short curly bob haircut. The actress cheekily captioned her picture with “Trench coat pehen liya, lekin zevar pehene ka shauk na gaya abhi tak.”

If you’ve ever wanted to experience the energy that comes with power dressing, give this list a shot. Take a few cues from the gorgeous divas who are in front and center in the fashion industry and get the game going. Never be afraid to try a look just because it isn’t common or might seem a little out of your comfort zone. Which of these celebrity looks was your favorite?
