2025’s defining beauty trends, as seen on Bollywood’s elite

If there’s one place where beauty trends get tested, approved, and immortalised, it’s the faces of celebrities. Red carpets, airport paparazzi, movie promotions; every moment becomes a mood board. And while trends may come and go, a handful have gone mainstream thanks to the women who wear them effortlessly. Here are the beauty looks everyone is saving on Pinterest and screenshotting from Instagram—approved by India’s most influential beauty icons.

BEAUTY TRENDS APPROVED BY BOLLYWOOD'S VERY OWN

1. Alia Bhatt: The “I woke up pretty” look

Alia’s makeup has become an entire personality. It’s soft, simple, and proof that minimal makeup can still look intentional.
Think: flushed cheeks, brushed-up brows, and skin that still looks like skin. It’s the kind of makeup that feels effortless — like you’re glowing from good sleep, good skincare, or maybe just good energy.

2. Deepika Padukone: The iconic smokey eye

A bold smokey eye never left, but Deepika gave it a new rulebook diffused, modern, and monochrome. Often paired with nude lips and sleek hair, her smokey eye feels sultry but wearable. Smudged kohl, soft brown and charcoal shadows, and clean blending give that effortlessly glam look that feels both classic and current.

3. Janhvi Kapoor: The flirty kitten eye

While the dramatic wing gets a break, Janhvi is championing the kitten eye: subtle, elongated, and flirtier than its sharper cousin. This look lifts the eye without overwhelming it. A slim flick, tightlining, and feathered lashes make it feminine, youthful, and camera-ready. It's the romantic eye makeup the internet can’t stop recreating.

4. Priyanka Chopra Jonas: Sun-kissed goddess glow

Priyanka has mastered bronzy glam in a way that feels bold yet wearable. A little contour, warm tones, and that subtle lit-from-within sheen — she takes that golden-hour glow and makes it look permanent.

5. Ananya Panday: Bronzed brilliance

Ananya’s makeup is basically skincare’s greatest achievement. And although her signature look includes luminous foundation, cream blush, glossy lips, glazed lids, and a finish that looks like hydrated skin on its best day, she showed us that bronzed can look just as fresh too, for that post-holiday glow.
