It’s time to revamp your wardrobe and incorporate this chic trend that has taken over the world again.
Bollywood celebrities that are wearing bucket hats
Bollywood is one of the first spaces in India to popularise a trend. Be it lehengas, the suits and now even the bucket hats, it inspires it all. The 2020s saw a rise in Bollywood celebrities sporting chic bucket hats. And it’s not just the ladies. These are the five Bollywood celebrities who have inspired some quirky looks with their bucket caps.
Alia Bhatt
The young trailblazer has broken glass ceilings over the last decade. She overcame hurdles and was seen performing so many powerful roles that took the audience by storm. 2023 saw her take on the role of a parent to Raha and needless to say, she is nailing that just as gracefully. She elegantly pulled off a bucket hat here for Eda-mama, a kidswear brand that she founded. Paired with light, flowy summer co-ords it creates a comfortably chic beach look. She also opted for floral patterns for her outfit giving it a chic look.
Ranveer Singh
Whatever the trend might be, Ranveer Singh is always one to give it a quirky edge. Only he can be trusted to pull off this casual, hip look with a Gucci bucket hat. The master of offbeat fashion trends takes it a notch higher with his chunky tinted sunglasses and a comfortable baggy sweatshirt. Look up to him if you want style inspirations to sport bucket hats for men. Notice how elegantly the contrasting colours complement each other to retain uniformity?

Trust her to raise the bar for a Maldives vacation, right?
