Barbie has been a huge sensation in 2023, not only on social media and on-ground marketing but also in the fashion industry. The Pink mania took over and became a trend in fashion, hair, and make-up rituals. It was amazing to see how a movie influenced our daily habits and shopping trends. We are sure that other movies and pop culture media will learn from this and try to create their own hype.
So, we thought it would be fun to share five upcoming or newly released movies and shows that are influencing the fashion industry & shopping trends. The best part is that you can prepare your wardrobe in advance for their release and stay ahead of the curve. Exciting, isn’t it?
1. Mean Girls (2024)
Mean Girls 2 was released worldwide in January 2024, it’s creating waves across industries. GenZ fashion is being talked about in both good and bad ways after this film. The original Mean Girls created a huge fan base for its iconic looks and fashion transformations. This release too highlights the generation today and how they aptly use fashion to truly express who they are. Here are two outfits inspired by the film.
2. Poor Things (2023)
While the movie was released last year, it is making waves now owing to the award nominations, roundtables, and critical reviews being circulated. The complex fashion and standout looks in the film have inspired us to include it in the list. Puff sleeves, Victorian-style gowns, ruffles, and colourful textures are standard for a Poor Things-inspired wardrobe.
3. Dune 2
Dune has been a landmark film in the science fiction genre. It won many awards and has been appreciated greatly for its styling and costumes. The highly anticipated Dune 2 is set to release sometime this year. Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya are not just the stars of the movie, but also youth icons and influencers.
To prepare for the release, dark browns, black & white prints, and essentially a scarf sported with every outfit are some of the takeaways from the film for the style-mongers out there.
4. Griselda
Are you a fan of Sofia Vergara? Wait until you see her in a new avatar in Griselda, sporting what people are calling the ‘mob wife aesthetic’. Her looks are being recreated all over the world. Her style as she navigates her way in the drug mafia between powerful men is the talk of the town. The two dresses below are inspired by two of her popular looks from the series.
5. Jigra
The motion poster of Jigra, Alia Bhatt’s upcoming feature, is truly unique. It has an anime vibe with neon colours in blue, purple, and pink shades popping in the street as Alia stands in the centre. The movie is already making waves, and it seems like its release can actually create a demand for neon-vibrant clothing in the Indian market.
