Zeenat Aman, Sharmila & more yesteryear actors giving bikini inspiration to current divas
Zeenat Aman, Sharmila Tagore, Parveen Babi and Nutan laid down the rules to don a bikini since the 60s. Here is the best version of them in 2019-20.
Bollywood style bearers are often opting for high waist pants, polka dots, and headbands these days. Thus, it is safe to assume that the style quotient from the eighties and nineties with big hair and louder prints are now coming back. Bollywood beauties have fallen once again for the retro trend. They are often seen during events and appearances donning the retro trend. These style statements are passed down to many women who follow similar trends. However, the retro trend has witnessed style evolution in terms of bikinis as well.
Is the retro or the yesteryear bikini trend followed by today’s generation as well?

Alia Bhatt's take on Sharmila Tagore's style
Sharmila Tagore wore a one-piece body suit-bikini for the film An Evening in Paris. The classic blue with the big hair-do is a style inspo for many even today. Alia Bhat wore a similar but a brighter version of the Sharmila Tagore bikini style for an underwater shoot.
