As one of the defining faces of the Golden Era of Bollywood cinema, Waheeda Rehman’s timeless elegance, memorable on-screen presence, and phenomenal dancing skills continue to be a source of inspiration to many. She was one of the pioneers of the churidar kurta-collar look, and made unconventional choices in not only fashion - such as her georgette saris, minimal make-up look, and winged eyeliner - but also with her on-screen roles. Waheeda Rehaman set numerous beauty and style standards for women in the late 1960s and also played a significant role in breaking stereotypes and empowering women.
