In times when fashion continues to evolve and become increasingly gender-fluid, backless suits and tops for men still remain an uncharted aesthetic in India’s male celebrity culture.
While celebs in the West, such as Timothée Chalamet, confidently reveal the flesh of their backs on the red carpet, actors closer home are more comfortable flaunting their shaved “man cleavage” than their backs.
However, it seems that the Indian fashion scene is beginning to shift, as actors like Bhuvan Arora boldly try out the trend of backless suits, which has long been established in women’s fashion.
The Farzi actor made a stunning appearance at the OTTplay ChangeMakers Awards 2023 held on Sunday evening, wearing a black backless blazer suit.
Bhuvan, known for his eclectic sense of style, proudly flaunted his V-tapered back on the red carpet in an outfit that featured a relaxed-fit blazer jacket and matching flared trousers. He layered the backless suit jacket over a mesh shirt that gave a flirty peek of his back.
For shoes, he chose a pair of chunky black sneakers that added a few inches to his height and complemented the overall aesthetic.
His outfit was further accented by a blue harness that, to some, may have looked unnecessary and kitschy, but it helped add a colour pop to the all-black ensemble. That said, we give Bhuvan a solid 9 for daring to try a bold trend, and boy did he succeed!
Bhuvan’s last appearance was in the critically acclaimed Amazon Prime web series Farzi, where he starred alongside Shahid Kapoor. His performance in the show was well-received by both critics and fans alike.
