Bollywood has always inspired the sense of fashion in our country. Over 100 years of Indian cinema, Bollywood has given us many important personalities, movies, fashion trends, fashion icons and much more. If we go down memory lane, somehow the important role that shoes have played in our cinema has been slightly underrated.
Here’s a list of the top 5 most important shoes of Bollywood!
1. Jeetendra’s White Shoes in Humjoli
Jumping Jack Jeetendra jumped into all our lives wearing that stunningly matching ivory outfit and those sparkling white shoes. The white shoes have been synonymous with Jeetendra since then and it has clearly inspired atleast Abbas-Mustan, if no one else.
2. Kalki Koechelin’s Boots from That Girl In Yellow Boots
