Zeenat Aman, an artist admired for her wisdom, has been making a positive impact on the younger generation through her Instagram presence. She's been sharing valuable life lessons on topics like love, work, and life. Her recent candid revelation on fashion is another commendable addition to her journey.
She admitted that the stylish designer outfits she sports at events like weddings are borrowed. She shared this information to encourage young people not to feel pressured into purchasing new clothing or exceeding their budget.
Celebrities Teaching The Art of Sustainable Styling
In a recent Instagram post featuring pictures from a wedding she attended in Delhi with her family, Aman shared a personal secret. She revealed that many of the glamorous designer outfits she wears to such events are actually borrowed. The jewellery she adorned was lent to her by Vimal from Argentum, and the powder blue sharara outfit was a gift from her dear friend Mohini Chabria. Aman assured her followers that these items would be dry-cleaned and returned.
Her reason for sharing this was to alleviate the pressure on young people who may feel compelled to purchase new attire or overspend after seeing celebrities in designer clothes. She emphasised that whether you borrow, thrift, or buy, what truly matters is not breaking the bank and finding joy in what you wear. Comfort, in her opinion, is paramount. In fact, she mentioned discarding all her high-heeled shoes.

Her post coincides with Alia Bhatt's recent sustainable fashion statement at the National Film Awards ceremony in New Delhi on October 17, where she re-wore her wedding saree. Bhatt received the Best Actress award for her role in Gangubai Kathiawadi. In an Instagram post, she explained the motivation behind her choice of outfit for this significant day.
She shared, "A special day calls for a special outfit. And sometimes, that outfit is already right there. What’s special once can be special again. And again." She encouraged her followers to embrace the idea of "repeat, reuse, and rewear" when it comes to their clothing.
Be it Aman or Bhatt, their recent posts demonstrate that style and elegance can coexist with sustainability, encouraging people to value reuse and avoid unnecessary consumption. Furthermore, celebrities such as Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone receive praise for their practice of frequently reusing their clothing items, creatively restyling them for various events and occasions.

During an interview with Vogue, Kaif openly acknowledged that, in her perspective, wearing comfortable attire and repeating outfits you adore is entirely commonplace. She said, "Even though I’m in a space where there’s constant attention to the way I dress, there are times that it cannot be helped. I wear what I like and what makes me feel comfortable. We definitely need to remove the thought of wearing pre-loved outfits or repeating outfits that have already been photographed or seen in public associated with something not cool."
This not only helps reduce the constant pressure to buy new clothing but also highlights the importance of personal comfort in fashion decisions. In a world often driven by fast fashion, their actions remind us of the significance of making more mindful and environmentally friendly choices in our clothing.
