How to Choose Your Bollywood Theme Dress

Finding the perfect Bollywood theme dress does not have to be difficult. These tips will help you get started:

1. Seek inspiration from your favourite actor:

A Bollywood theme party is the time to dress up as your favourite actor. If you are a huge fan of Vidya Balan, now is the time for you to wear that cool yet glamorous Kanjivaram saree. You don’t have to spend a fortune on theme dresses. Try to stick with an outfit that you can wear again so that it will be worth your money.

2. Seek inspiration from your favourite character:

Another way to pick an outfit for a Bollywood theme night is to dress up as a character from a film. Make sure to pick a character that is easily recognizable so that you don’t have to explain to people who you are. For instance, if you are a big fan of the film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, consider dressing up as Kajol’s tomboyish character Anjali. Or this still from 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom'.

When shortlisting a character, think of your favourite Bollywood film, and pick an outfit that has pieces already available in your wardrobe.

3. Pair up the costume with your partner:

Consider pairing up the costume with your partner to make a power-packed statement. Complementing your significant other is a common go-to for couples when attending a Bollywood theme party. It’s fun, clever, and a great way to get noticed. Whether you choose Kajol and Shahrukh Khan from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge or Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor from Jab We Met, just make sure to pick what’s fit for both of you.

4. Bollywood group costume:

We can’t stress enough that a costume party with your friends can be really fun. So, why not have your gang coordinate their outfits based on a movie theme. For instance, you can dress up like four musician friends in Rock On or maybe like the girls' gang in Veere De Wedding.

5. Accessories:

Don’t underestimate the power of the right accessories. Caps, boots, wigs, jewellery and even an umbrella (as seen here) can help you create the right look or recreate a memorable scene.
