Denim has become the perfect weather transition accent for celebrities from Alia Bhatt to Deepika Padukone

It’s hard to imagine a wardrobe that doesn’t include denim in any form. Who doesn’t have a pair of jeans in their wardrobe? Invented in the 19th century, the utilitarian garment has withstood the test of time and endured for decades to become a staple in people’s wardrobes. In 1976, Calvin Klein was the first designer to present jeans on the catwalk. Denim’s fashion journey is quite an ironic story as it was originally intended for the working class but is now part of couture. Each generation has adapted the textile in its own way, be it the flared trousers from the 60s or the low-rise jeans from the noughties. With the changing weather, Bollywood celebrities have decided to bring out their jeans and flaunt them on vacation and on the runway, like Alia Bhatt in flared frame jeans for Gucci’s SS24 show in Milan. Vogue India takes a look at the jeans that Bollywood stars are wearing lately.

Biker chic

One of the best ways to combine two hardcore fabrics – leather and denim – at the start of fall is the biker chic way. Pair a leather jacket with jeans for a classic combination. This look was loved by celebrities like Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Hailey Bieber this year. The simple ensemble is edgy but chic, making denim the perfect accent for transitional weather.

Double the denim, double the fun

Double denim has been around since the ’70s (think of the iconic scene from the original “Charlie’s Angels” where Farah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson escape from prison in identical double denim looks can be seen, or the iconic Britney Spears-Justin Timberlake American from 2001). Music Awards outfits) and has aged like fine wine with its versatility. There are now modern interpretations of the Canadian tuxedo, like the denim corset worn by Ananya Panday from Heaven by Marc Jacobs’ SS 23 collection, or Kriti Sanon’s latest Mugler look, consisting of a zip-up bustier bodysuit and jeans Jeans insert. The double denim trend may be considered cheesy, but these modernized Gen Z updates that focus on shape and structure prove why they work.

Denim jackets have made their way into high fashion this season. Take inspiration from Deepika Padukone’s latest campaign for Louis Vuitton – a blue denim jacket worn over a black ensemble to enhance the formal vibe of the dress. Another example was her Iro Paris Elemy Denim Overshirt Jacket in her wardrobe, whose diamond stitch details give it a quilted look. Oversized denim jackets go with almost any outfit and have been a staple of streetwear this spring-summer 2024 season due to their casual, edgy style. Dress them up or dress them down, the world is your oyster. Louis Vuitton and Acne Studios’ fall campaign featuring Kylie Jenner in a jacket paired with oversized jeans reinforces the idea that there are no rules when it comes to the oversized denim jacket.

The classic combination

It’s not for nothing that the combination of shirt and jeans is considered classic and versatile. From Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s to Mira Kapoor in 2023, this casual casual outfit has finally crept into the trend of quiet luxury. The oversized shirt and straight-leg jeans combo got a huge upgrade with Alia Bhatt’s neon green polo shirt for Gucci’s SS24 collection and Valentino’s 2023 Haute Couture collection, which used glass beads dyed in 80 shades of indigo and then embroidered on silk gazar to create an elevated couture trompe l’oeil look inspired by humble jeans.
