While we close the year of 2021 on a high sartorial note, it’s only fair to give a shout-out to those who made it much better with their impeccable style sensibilities. 2021, shutting off the fashion drought, brought back the simpler times where we could watch our favorite celebrities paint the town red with their bang-on looks. Undoubtedly, Bollywood’s style evolution in actors has gone from strengths to strengths, all thanks to the barrier-breaking debonair men of the showbiz who tried to outdo themselves, one appearance, at a time. Fashion is just not about wearing the best clothes; it’s about carrying them with sheer confidence and these handsome hunks testify this very fact! Along with well-tailored crisp suits and elegant ethnics along with classy casual looks, many of our B-town dapper men have gone to great lengths to experiment with gender-fluid and futuristic looks with printed pants, holographic jackets, velvets, plunging blouses (you know who we are talking about) and many others.
Just like every year, we are delighted to bring you the best-dressed actress’ list, however this year with a fun& fashion twist! We happily collaborated with renowned designers Nikhil Thampi and ace stylists Eka Lakhani, Victor Robinson-Sohail Mughal, to bring forth their top picks for the year because what’s better than having the validation from the best?! Having said that, allow Peepingmoon.com and the above-mentioned maestros to present you our top contending actors who made a difference with their distinguished style throughout the year. You simply cannot miss this!
Please note: there aren’t any ratings per se, they have all stood out this year!
