There's a bit of misleading blogging regarding this costume in Sridevi's first Hindi blockbuster. It was a memorable look for sure, but it wasn't a trend setter nor did it inspire young women in their 20s in 1983 to wear this off-shoulder-to-toe in leather look! Shot in the south, can you imagine wearing this unbreathable fabric in the heat of Indian summer?! Absurd. But Sridevi suffered for her art! No one else did...
An iconic look and memorable outfit isn't the same as a trend-setting look. Unlike say, Sridevi's Chandni all-white salwaars and saris, which were trend-setting and sparked a fashion movement for sure!
