Sara Ali Khan’s Tropical Prints
Khan knows how to channel tropical vibes effortlessly. Just like her personality, Khan’s Shivan and Narresh two-piece set is vibrant and playful.

Janhvi Kapoor’s Fun Two-Pieces
Kapoor’s Instagram is a treasure trove of gorgeous two-piece swimsuits. Embrace the spirit with a mix-and-match bikini set featuring bold patterns and contrasting colours. Add a fringed beach bag and flip-flops to complete this beach look that’s bound to turn heads.
Alia Bhatt’s Relaxed Boho
Bhatt effortlessly combines comfort and style with her boho-chic beachwear. Rock a flowing white lace cover-up over your swimsuit, paired with a floppy sun hat and earthy beaded sandals. This look is perfect for strolling along the shore or lounging under a palm tree with a refreshing drink in hand.
Deepika Padukone’s Classic Elegance
Padukone’s timeless style is reflected in her beachwear choices too. Channel her classic elegance with a solid-coloured bikini and a sarong (her best accessory aka her washboard abs are subject to availability!). Pair it with oversized sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and a light chiffon cover-up for a touch of sophistication.
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Effortless Glam
Khan’s beach looks are the epitome of effortless glam. Embrace her style with a bright pink bikini paired with a kimono cover-up featuring colourful patterns. Complete the look with a stylish beach tote and some chunky earrings for added oomph.
If you prefer a more refined and feminine look, go for a pristine white, cotton maxi dress. Elevate the charm with statement retro-style sunglasses and a dainty yellow hairband—perfect for a picnic date at the beach.
Sonakshi Sinha’s Mermaid-Inspired Fit
Sinha channelled her inner mermaid with this flowy and breezy green co-ord set. Pair it with a turquoise bikini top, some sea-shell jewellery and sandals to tie the look together.
Mira Kapoor’s European Summer
Appear Greece-ready in a pink ruffled swimsuit with floral prints. Pair it with light-coloured linen pants, white sandals, a hat and a pair of oversized sunglasses.
Bhumi Pednekar’s Beach Casual
Pednekar bared her toned abs in a sensuous co-ord set from Dimple Belani-Thadani and paired it with casual, white sneakers for a fun twist. While accessorising such a look, be sure to let the outfit do the talking. Keep it minimal when it comes to accessories with gold jewellery and dark, brooding sunglasses.
Kiara Advani’s Wilderness Chic
Advani brings a refreshing twist to the bikini look by adding a bandana and sarong, creating a stylish and unique ensemble. For those who prefer a bit more coverage, her outfit serves as the perfect inspiration to achieve a chic beach look that stands out from the crowd.
