Before there was Pinterest or Instagram, people used to get their fashion ideas from Bollywood celebrities. When there was no influencer culture, these actresses were the only ones who set trends. Expanding on this, Twitter user apparition now enquired online what one particular costume that a Bollywood actress wore that could be considered a "era-defining piece" and had an impact on women's wardrobes. The tweet brought back a lot of memories as Indians on social media shared pictures of actresses dressed to the nines.

for me it has to be Piku. Her style is soo understated, elegant and classy. The bindi & the comfy kurtas really made ethnic wear cooler <3
