Sushmita Sen
Sushmita Sen’s stylist, Theia Tekchandaney added a touch of elegance to one of her looks in a vibrant red silk saree with an extravagant Panthère de Cartier brooch. This delicate accessory not only enhanced her look but also broke the monotony of the hue.
Suhana Khan
Suhana Khan once shone bright in a powder pink ensemble, to which she added charm with a prominent brooch on her waistline. The silver-hued accessory was an embodiment of her fiery energy and it was adorned with precious diamonds also.
Ananya Panday
Ananya Panday ditched the usual floral brooches and went with a silver-toned leaf brooch. The addition of the brooch to her otherwise formal grey pantsuit maximised her entire beauty.
Karan Johar
Karan Johar, known for his stunning fashion statements, didn’t miss the chance, even when it came to his brooches. He opted for an ivory suit and added a delicate hammered gold brass and enamel brooch featuring a telephone dial to the lapel of his jacket. The striking brooch is inspired by a historic collaboration between Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali.
Shah Rukh Khan
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s IIFA 2024 look explained that brooches can be of all shapes and sizes. For hosting the evening, he slipped into a black tuxedo and paired his look with a bow tie and a chain brooch. The unique accessory was attached to his breast pocket to one of the buttons, followed by the rest hanging downwards parallel to his jacket’s hemline. It added a delicate charm to his overall look.
