Cannes 2026 sparks nostalgia for Bollywood’s heaviest costumes; From Madhubala to Deepika Padukone

From The Times Of India

While Cannes 2026 showcases modern fashion, Bollywood enthusiasts recall an era of elaborate, handcrafted costumes. Iconic looks like Madhubala's Anarkali in 'Mughal-e-Azam' and Madhuri Dixit's 10kg lehenga in 'Devdas' exemplify this golden age of cinematic artistry. These ensembles, rich with embroidery and embellishments, became characters themselves, leaving a lasting legacy.
