Vintage '90s-inspired blouse designs approved by Bengali actresses that deserve a strong comeback

Fashion trends may come and go, but some blouse designs remain forever timeless. Long before the corset blouses and experimental cuts, balanced, sophisticated designs with subtle poise were released, which are, interestingly, revived by Bengali actresses time and again. Whether paired with handloom sarees or silk drapes, these retro blouse patterns bring a touch of nostalgia and are spotted on several Bengali actresses, who are a perfect source of inspiration to start with.

Swastika Mukherjee, who was seen in ‘Qala’ with Triptii Dimri, is a renowned Bengali actress and has been in the industry for more than two decades. The diva is known for her bold blouse designs and was once spotted in a white net high-neckline blouse with intricate threadwork all over the back and front. What made the design look vintage was the elbow-length sleeves with a white frill hemline, which looked absolutely beautiful on her with a bold short hairstyle.

Completing around 2 decades in Bengali cinema, Koel Mallick happens to be one of the most popular actresses in the Bangla industry and is known for her modish fashion sense. But the actress remains super close to her culture and is often seen in stunning saree pieces that deserve a spot in your closet. She wore a pista-green saree with a salmon-pink border decorated with golden embroidery. Koel completed the look with a contrasting golden high V-neckline blouse with over-the-top puffed, elbow-length sleeves with intricate pleats, which took us back to the pre-independence era.

The Bengali actress and former Member of the Lok Sabha is known for her many blockbuster films and is counted as one of the most beautiful Bengali actresses. If you think the gingham print is a modern-day trend, then you’re wrong, as Nusrat did it a long time back when once she was spotted wearing a bright red and white checkered-print vintage blouse featuring a high round neckline and classic elbow-length fitted sleeves. She was also seen in a bright red blouse featuring a round neckline with elbow-length sleeves, but the decoration of intricate white netted frills was what amplified the vintage look.

Konkona Sen Sharma is a big name in Bollywood and in the Bengali film industry, where the diva has given hits in almost every genre and is known for her fine acting chops. She was seen wearing a stunning white-collared vintage blouse with soft frills at the front, worn with a printed floral saree which reminded us of the beautiful ‘90s summers.

From sophisticated black blouse looks to the classic elbow-length sleeves, the era defined a generation of saree styling and still continues to inspire designers even today.
