Preity Zinta

Bollywood’s girl-next-door, Preity Zinta, introduced fresh, classy, and casual looks to modern Indian fashion in the early 2000s. Her chic bustier, black, satin dress in the title track of Chori Chori Chupke Chupke (2001) (inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s attire from Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)) and the long skirt paired with t-shirt style, the long dresses, and the curly untamed hair in Dil Chahta Hai (2001) became signature trends that influenced designers and fashion enthusiasts alike.
