The glittering wardrobes of film stars often catch the eye, inspiring many to emulate their style. The rotation of attire across events can be both alluring and puzzling.
One questions where all these garments come from. Do stars purchase them, or are they provided by designers? And if so, what becomes of the myriad outfits once the events conclude?
We've delved into these queries to enlighten you. Designers themselves have occasionally lifted the veil on these practices. In an interview with Lallantop, celebrities Zareen Khan and Gippy Grewal revealed the methods now ingrained in the digital era.
The Origin of Stars' Garments
Zareen shared that event wardrobes are often decided by stylists, with stars contributing their personal preferences. During promotions or interviews, they don attire provided by designers. Conversely, for personal events, stars select and style their own clothing. Gippy illuminated several industry practices - returning clothes after posting on social media or even receiving payment for promotional dressing.
Post-Shooting Wardrobe Destiny
Did you know Kareena Kapoor changed 130 outfits in the film 'Heroine', and Aishwarya Rai switched 125 in 'Action Replayy'? Post-production, these specifically designed garments are sealed in boxes and sent to production houses. They might later be reused in other films, albeit not by the leading actors, but rather by background dancers or actors.
Designers reveal how a ghagra-choli set might be repurposed with different lehengas. While actors occasionally incorporate personal items, it's common to shop with designers. However, ultimately, all wardrobes reside with the production houses. Though sometimes, actors may keep a favored piece on friendly terms, or famous stars' outfits are auctioned for charity.
We hope this clarifies the full picture. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out.
