Take out the styling and period films wouldn't be half as fun.

One of the things that caught our eye in the trailer of Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat was Katrina Kaif's Meena Kumarish perm and old-fashioned blouse.

Want to master the vintage look? Sukanya Verma leads you to the Bollywood experts.

 

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Devdas

Ash's decked to the nines, traditional jewelry and all, in Devdas screams vintage as boldly as her big bindi.

 

Madhuri Dixit, Devdas

Ditto for Lady Dixit looking resplendent in her collared blouse and silver hand fan.

 

Shah Rukh Khan, Devdas

Shah Rukh Khan cuts a dapper picture in his 40s-inspired English Babu avatar. Good enough to forgive his 1996 monstrosity, English Babu Desi Mem.

 

Sonakshi Sinha, Kalank

Sonakshi's zardozi-embellished velvet blouse and its frilly-sleeves in the underwhelming costume drama Kalank are tailor-made for copy-that-look.

 

Alia Bhatt, Kalank

As is Alia's traditional bun, antique necklace and elegant blouse style.

 

Kangana Ranaut, Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi

Kangana Ranaut makes a queenly style statement in romantic curls and roses.

 

Kangana Ranaut, Rangoon

Her flair for vintage is equally conspicuous, as the moody 1940s actress who rocks retro sunglasses, flowy dresses and a wavy bob in Rangoon.

 

Deepika Padukone, Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey

Two pigtails if you have loooong hair like Deepika's in Ashutosh Gowariker's revolution drama, set in the 1930s.

 

Anushka Sharma, Bombay Velvet

Anushka Sharma's chic hairstyles and vintage wardrobe in Bombay Velvet owes much inspiration to yesteryear fashionistas like Babita and Helen.

 

Priyanka Chopra, Teri Meri Kahani

Priyanka Chopra's sari draping and big curls are a nod to Mumtaz in Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyaar Ke Charche.

 

Ileana D'Cruz, Baadshaho

Old Hollywood glam-inspired vintage waves, a pastel-hued chiffon sari, the Maharani Gayatri Devi handbook for style never goes out of fashion.

 

Saif Ali Khan, Parineeta

Tweed coat, plaid scarf and slick back hair, Saif Ali Khan's sixties aristocrat is all about timeless sartorial sophistication.

 

Ranveer Singh, Lootera

Ranveer's onscreen fashion is a lot more wearable than his real-life gear. Invest in a vintage leather jacket and fedora to feel the 1950s in Lootera.

 

Manisha Koirala, 1942: A Love Story

Sporting lace-sleeved blouses and schoolgirl plaits tied in a ribbon, Manisha Koirala is the face of romance in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's ambitious love story.

 

Anil Kapoor, 1942: A Love Story

A newsboy cap, ascot scarf and vintage vest are the key to recreating Anil Kapoor's British lad flamboyance in the same.

 

Karisma Kapoor, Zubeidaa

Lolo's Victorian hairdos are perfectly suited to the movie's old-fashioned vibe.
