Fashion is not only an art form but also a means of expression, giving people the freedom to be themselves. It also helps challenge societal norms and push boundaries by embracing gender-inclusive styles. This type of fashion, called ‘genderless fashion‘, is rapidly gaining popularity — both globally and in India — with many celebrities experimenting with different looks.
Actors like Ranveer Singh, Ali Fazal, Vijay Varma, and Jim Sarbh, among others, have fearlessly embraced fashion choices that defy stereotypes and redefine traditional masculinity. So, take a look at the times when our beloved celebrities displayed sartorial choices while promoting gender inclusivity in fashion.
Ranveer Singh
The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani actor is a fashion icon in his own right who consistently defies traditional notions of masculinity through his fashion choices. Recently, he sported a head-to-toe pink outfit, stereotypically considered to be a feminine colour. His pink pantsuit featured an oversized pink blazer, matching trousers and a tee underneath. He accessorised the look with pink sneakers as well. His outfit sparked controversy among social media users with many disdainful comments about the colour of choice. Despite the backlash, Ranveer did not shy away from pushing the boundaries of fashion and igniting important conversations about gender stereotypes in India.
Vijay Varma
The Darlings actor’s versatility reflects in both his craft and fashion choices. Proving that the six-yard drape is not restricted to women alone, he donned a raven-black sari, which featured a striking red pallu from designer Rimzim Dadu. Vijay’s electric blue hair added to the ‘gender-bender’ quotient, truly a sartorial marvel.
Jim Sarbh
The Made in Heaven 2 actor is one to not shy away from eclectic style. Apart from his stellar acting skills, his wardrobe thoroughly impresses us every time. As such, Jim showcased his sartorial prowess by sporting this sheer lace detailing gown. His accessories further accentuated his look.
Aparshakti Khurana
The Jubilee actor regularly experiments with his style and opts for unconventional looks. As such, the B-town celeb kept it suave in this Siddhartha Tyler number which is similar to what Harry Styles wore in 2019. Teamed with silver oxford shoes and black Wayfarer sunglasses, he looked dapper as ever!
Babil Khan
Babil Khan is carving a niche for himself in the Indian film industry and the fashion space as well. From embracing more gender-fluid fits and cuts to bringing a new take to ethnic wear, the actor presented the best of androgynous fashion during the promotions of his debut film Qala. In a sartorial outing, Babil was seen in a colourful maxi dress with an Anarkali-style flair paired with sequinned black trousers for the screening of Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla’s fashion film, Mera Noor Hai Mashhoor.
Ali Fazal
Another fashion revolutionary on the block is Ali Fazal, who fearlessly adorns the most exquisite pieces while simultaneously breaking gender norms. Recently, the actor married actor Richa Chadha and for one of the ceremonies, he opted for a white Angrakha, designed by none other than designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. His kurta and matching dupatta featured intricate embroidery. He paired it with a white churidar and black shoes. Ali also sported mehendi on his hands which is traditionally worn only by the bride. He effortlessly broke the barriers of rigid gender-specific clothing.
