Let’s celebrate the birthday of Bollywood’s most versatile style maven, Ayushmann Khurrana, by scouring through some of his most iconic recent fashionable looks!
As Ayushmann Khurrana turns 41 today, September 14th, we find ourselves in awe of his phenomenal transformation – not only as a fine actor, but as a full-fledged fashion icon who has redefined stylish in modern Bollywood. Born Nishant Khurrana in 1984, this Chandigarh-born actor has come a long way from the down-to-earth guy-next-door in “Vicky Donor” to one of the most fashion-forward leading men in Hindi cinema.
Ayushmann’s fashion journey mirrors his career trajectory perfectly. In his early days, he embodied the accessible, everyman aesthetic that made him so relatable to audiences. However, as his filmography expanded with unconventional choices like “Andhadhun,” “Badhaai Ho,” and “Article 15,” his style quotient soared to match his artistic versatility.
His evolution from boy-next-door to fashion icon has been amazing, and is a masterclass in men’s fashion today. With every upload, he proves that he can juxtapose old-school poise with new-school trends effortlessly, and hence, he is a style icon for millions of fans globally. With Ayushmann Khurrana preparing for his most thrilling project thus far, “Thama” – horror-comedy starring Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal that releases in theaters on Diwali 2025, his style progression continues. And we’ll see the exemplary proofs of it in this blog created by our team at Wedding Affair!

Contemporary Cool
Ayushmann raises the bar for style with his fashion-forward ensembles, and demonstrates that style and comfort can go hand in hand. His modern-day wardrobe boasts an enviable array. This monochromatic Gaurav Gupta look featuring White shirt and trousers under a statement jacket with silver motif is a creation to die for. His red carpet looks showcase control over formals. Whether it’s a traditional tuxedo or a bold suit, Ayushmann applies a new twist to age-old formal wear, frequently adding unconventional textures, shades, or accessories that make his ensembles memorable.
Sand-Toned Suit: Timeless Elegance Redefined
The initial glance is a dramatic sand-beige ensemble with a sharp white shirt, open at the collar in an undone allure. It is the type of ensemble that suggests luxury without the requirement to scream.
What makes this appear so attractive is its equilibrium of tailored structure with easy detailing. The suit hugs like a fantasy, cut to emphasise Ayushmann’s physique while still having an easy drape. The lack of a tie lends ease, and the dark-brown pocket square adds a touch of contrast. When worn with shiny dark shoes, the ensemble is anchored in class.
The Regal Black Ensemble: Power Meets Drama
Then comes Ayushmann strutting into his darker, more authoritative avatar in an all-black ensemble. The outfit features a dark, draped shirt paired with neatly pressed trousers, cinched at the waistline with a sophisticated cummerbund, and finished with a royal, textured black overcoat. Monochrome creates drama, and the detailing on the waistband and coat provides royal grandeur. It’s a high-fashion show look, but Ayushmann pulls it off with effortless ease. What is captivating is the dance of masculinity and fluidity. The draped shirt tames the appearance, the coat grants authority, and the styling counter-balances force with elegance. The shiny black shoes and subtle accessories give room to the ensemble, allowing the textures to say it all.
The Retro-Modern Fusion: Edgy Elevator Look
This look is a tribute to vintage style with a contemporary spin. Ayushmann sports a crisp black suit accompanied by a skinny tie, but the surprise is in the large, leather bomber-cut jacket flung over it. The outcome? A union of sleek formality and urban-cool edge. Framed in natural motion, this gaze carries cinematic life. He almost looks like he could step into a noir movie as the enigmatic hero. The leather jacket adds attitude, shattering the boredom of corporate suit-ing. Combined with streamlined formal boots and black trousers, the outfit combines boardroom power with rock-boy appeal. It’s uncompromising, a touch rebellious, but refined enough to get you to double-take.
Earthy Neutrals: Minimalism with Depth
Lastly, Ayushmann goes full circle with a casual yet crisp ensemble in muted earthy browns and neutrals. A brown crew-neck top shirted into pleated pants, paired with a tan jacket that has oversized pockets, constitutes a sophisticated casual look. This is a comfort dressed-in-sophistication look. It’s cosy, inviting, and understated-chic. The earthy colour palette speaks to grounded masculinity, and the tailored structure prevents the entire look from lapsing into casual stagnation. The brown leather shoes bring it all together, providing sheen to an otherwise softening color scheme.
