Ma, meri maa, pyaari maa mumma…
Be it this song from the film Dasvidaniya or Deewar’s iconic ‘Mere Paas Maa Hai’ dialogue, Bollywood and moms have a very special connection. We usually talk about Gen-Y Bolly divas and their new-age styles. But, ain’t no fashion like retro fashion and we are sure you will agree with us on this bit!
Right from the 70s our tinsel town divas have aced the role of mother, both on and off the screen. Films or fashion, these stylish divas turned moms didn’t stop working on themselves and that’s quite commendable and applaud-worthy!
So, on the occasion of Mother’s Day, we bring you the list of all fashion-forward yesteryear divas that are an evergreen style icon!
LATE SRIDEVI
If you dig sisters Khushi and Janhvi Kapoor’s impeccable style, thank their momma, late Sridevi. It won’t be wrong to say that whenever Sri posed with her daughters, she easily came off as one of their siblings!
Refined style, graceful aura and all things Manish Malhotra, these three things aptly defined Sri’s sartorial sensibilities. How dearly we miss her!
MADHURI DIXIT NENE

BABITA KAPOOR
Mother to actresses and divas Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan, Babita dominated the film and fashion industry in her own era.
Not opting for much shenanigans, she would embrace simplicity and sophistication in figure-skimming silhouettes, hugging churidar kurtas and big loops with huge sunglasses.
SHARMILA TAGORE PATAUDI
Be it an Evening in Paris or a lavish B-town’s party, Sharmila’s appearance would never be short on glamour.
