From red carpets to street style, India’s star kids are turning heads and rewriting the fashion playbook with effortless cool and fresh flair.
Let’s be real - growing up in the spotlight means these kiddos don’t just inherit fame, they inherit style too. But today’s star kids are no longer just mimicking their famous parents; they’re carving out their own fashion territories with bold choices, playful mixes, and a twist of good old-fashioned swagger.

Ananya Panday embodies accessible glamour. She swaps exclusive couture for mix‑and‑match styling young India can copy - boxy tees, velvet blazers, striped vests, flared maxis, oversized blazers with bodycon, denim with sharp tops. Her palette swings from lime yellow to crisp monochrome. Comfort leads every choice, yet the finish stays editorial. Whether in a golden saree or streetwear, confidence is her signature.

Then there’s Shanaya Kapoor who can make anything - from flowy floral gowns to punchy power suits - look like high fashion straight off the runway. Remember that jaw-dropping Elle India cover with her draped in soft pastels by Kinfolk ’24? Shanaya’s style is a vibrant cocktail of statement pieces sprinkled with playful accessories - think oversized sunglasses, chunky sneakers, and bold earrings. She’s proof star kids can mix high fashion with street-savvy charm seamlessly.

Ahaan Panday’s style is chill, clean, and cool - Gen Z minimalism with intent. He favors monochrome palettes - black, beige, earthy neutrals - anchored by crisp white tees and perfectly fitted denim. Structured, oversized layers - hoodies, bombers, utility jackets - add texture without bulk. His messy, voluminous hair and easy confidence finish the look, while bold touches - yellow beanies, yin‑yang hoodies - show fearless self-expression.

Ibrahim Ali Khan’s style champions quiet confidence over flash. He builds looks from elevated basics - crisp tees, sharp denim, thoughtful layers - balancing comfort and polish. From varsity jackets to monochrome co-ords, he proves modern masculinity can be relaxed yet refined. His beige Shantanu & Nikhil runway moment showed effortless formal grace, while versatile sneakers and light-handed layering kept every outfit grounded and fresh.
So next time you scroll through your feed and spot a star kid styling a quirky jacket or pairing sneakers with a saree, remember - it’s not just a cute outfit. It’s a fresh chapter in India’s fashion story.
The next generation is showing us how to wear tradition and trend with equal flair, confidence, and a touch of fun.
