Ranveer Singh is sui generis – he is a good actor who is also possessed of almost manic energy levels and a fashion sense that could be called outrageous. So recently he was being his (usual) outrageous self with long hair, some serious bling and a highly questionable shiny blue (track?) suit. Check it out and the reactions to Ranveer Singh’s Gucci photo shoot.
There is a tracksuit, a checked overcoat, a very red hat, a very blue tracksuit and gold chains of a Bappi Lahiri-eque level and a handbag. And just so there’s no doubt, there is Gucci emblazoned across the chest there.
Immediately, the ‘poor Deepika’ jokes started.
The fashion stylings of Bollywood’s most out-of-the-box dresser often don’t go down very well with people.
Some saw this unique combination in Ranveer Singh.
This was a trending hashtag, because love him or hate him, you cannot ignore the man.
Ranveer Singh is very experimental with his fashion – skirts, jewellery, bling, loud prints, so-called girly colours --- it’s all par for the course.
Some disapprove of these sartorial choices, however, and call them derivative.
Kuchh to log kahenge, after all.
That bunk bed also reminds one of a train sleeper berth.
We have all seen that guy hanging from a bus like that.
I for one am cheering him on for that.
Score for gender fluidity! Ranveer Singh carries off his ghagras and other outrageous outfits effortlessly and naturally.
Singh’s fashion sense challenges the status quo. It questions people mindsets; their beliefs around how men and women should behave. That is always uncomfortable-making. Obviously, Ranveer Singh in a skirt is going to get a lot of knickers in a twist – ideas that push the envelope usually do.
