Black and white are classic colours that never go out of fashion. And when they combine together they make an evergreen colour palette. Whether it is about playing safe or standing out in statement monochrome looks, the colours are staples in every wardrobe. As the classic combination of black-and-white finds a spot up the trend ladder, t2 picks its favourite looks sported by ladies from Bolly, Holly and Tolly.
The Bolly Brigade
Bolly’s rising star Kiara Advani’s fashion is on fleek for quite some time. For the promotions of her recent release Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, she chose the JJ Valaya ‘quintessential’ zebra print for an event and styled the simple and subtle-glam look comfortably with a belt.
Deepika Padukone kept her style game trendy, cool and chic for her film Gehraiyaan’s promotions early this year. She chose a trendy blazer dress from David Koma in the classic black-and-white. Accompanying the post of this look on Insta was the signature DP quirky caption that we totally love — “Zebra Crossing, watch out…”
Katrina Kaif’s comfy and super-cute vacay look on husband Vicky Kaushal’s birthday celebrations in New York, is a summer heart-stealer. The floral-printed dress and shirt look is comfy, casual, cool, and perfect for the vacay look.
Black-and-white dominates Parineeti Chopra’s wardrobe and her Instagram account is proof of that. From diving suits and ultra glam looks to casuals, she dons this classic colour combo quite often. We loved how gorgeous she looked in the minimal yet glam Masaba black-n-white striped sari.
Street style and Kareena Kapoor is a match hard to beat! She no doubt knows the street style secret better than any of her contemporaries. Her street-style cafe look in the black jacket, white tee and denim pants is super adorable and comfy to the eyes!
Bebo’s selfie-pro sister Lolo (Karisma Kapoor) caught our eye with her selfie click in the classic black-n-white animal print.
Joining the black-and-white style trend, Kriti Sanon killed it with the chequered-pattern outfit from Lovebirds, and paired it perfectly with a matching bag. “CHECKMATE” she captioned her post and we agree!
Vidya Balan joined the black-and-white bandwagon too! The Bolly beauty in a sari is always a stunning sight. Our moment of extra happiness? She chose Calcutta label Parama for her black-and-white handloom sari look. The yellow stripes break the monotony, and Vidya pulled off the Indian ethnic look elegantly as always.
Priyanka Chopra’s recent black-and-white look for jewellery brand Bvlgari is all about the blend of the classic and contemporary to create a classy look. She kept it fashionably flamboyant and cut an elegant frame in an elaborate Robert Wun gown. “It’s never just black and white…” wrote the actress as a caption for the Insta post.
Alia Bhatt embraced the six yards during her film Gangubai Kathiawadi’s promotions, and carried off the looks with ease and elegance. The simple white sari with black border and black blouse bordered with white for one of her promotional events was a stunner for its minimal appeal. Oh-so-classy with the silver jewellery!
Hollywood
How cute does Ariana Grande look from her March calendar in an Instagram post for her beauty brand r.e.m. beauty? We think super duper cute. The white bow hair tie and black high boots add to the look.
Lily Collins kept us glued to our screens with her quirky,bright, fun,and cool looks in Emily in Paris, and does so on her Insta handle too. And she dons black-and-white in style, be it summer or winter. Our recent favourite from the lot is her simple sleeveless top and mini skirt look.
Jennifer Lopez posted her cropped leather jacket and skirt look in the classic black-and-white on Instagram to crowdsource some fashion advice and both looks received approval from her fans. Our vote goes to the one with the jacket in this spiffy and classy party look.
Kendall Jenner’s black-and-white shirt and wide-legged pants for her style curation project for FWRD is effortless and super chic. We loved this comfy and trendy street style that’s easy to emulate. Maybe for a Friday office look or a weekend brunch with your bestie? Try it out!
The Cannes Film Festival 2022 witnessed a splash of the popular black-and-white trend on its red carpet this year. We can’t stop admiring Kate Winslet’s natty look, where formals look comfy in the black jumpsuit with the white blazer thrown over the shoulders.
Met Gala 2021 and 2022 showed how this classic colour combo can never go out of trend, and we loved how singer Katy Perry nailed it in the Oscar de la Renta elaborate lace and net gown on the 2022 red carpet. The pair of net gloves added the timeless touch to the look.
Tollywood
Comfy and summery, we love Tolly star Mimi Chakraborty’s white trackee paired with a black sling bag from her June calendar.
Koel Mallick presented the trend on her Instagram account home-style! And we love the simple black robe and white tee look channelling a comfy vibe.
Nusrat Jahan tried the classic combo for her #travelinstyle airport look in the trendy black active wear, paired with a polka-dotted white jacket.
We absolutely love how Arpita Chatterjee brings the two trends together in her dewy-fresh morning look — prints and black-and-white. We say, pretty as always!
