Mumtaz Birthday

Mumtaz nails the girl-next-door vibe in this picture. Innocent, charming and fashionable, she dons a white shirt paired with a green sleeveless jacket. Her hair tied up in a braid adds innocence to this look.

Radiating in red, Mumtaz steals the spotlight in this red Indian salwar suit with the dupatta covering her bun. Traditional, yet chic.

Mumtaz played the 'gaon ki chori' in many films, and it was difficult to take one's eyes off her in her villager core. This look is so fashionable with the perfect harmony of the yellow and green paired with all silver jewellery. The huge maangtika is the game changer.

Her face carries an innocence that rarely fails to impress. This look of the actress is so sincere and so innocent, we can't get enough of it.

Her voice was sweet, but Mumtaz often let her eyes do the talking. Her eyes, so deep and intense, expressed more than words could. This look portrays just that. She looks bold, baring her top with a fancy maangtika while her eyes express sensuality, innocence and longing at the same time

Another saree-clad villager look, where Mumtaz impresses. Her subtle makeup and statement earrings complement each other so well.

A white bindi is a risky choice, but Mumtaz pulls it off with such ease as she glows in this yellow saree and almost no makeup look.

Not many would prefer two-folded braids, a staple hairstyle of Indian schoolgirls. But Mumtaz manages to look beautiful even in that. With a face card like hers, it barely matters.

Talking about Mumtaz's fashion, without mentioning this classic saree would be a cardinal sin. She invented this unique saree drape, which went on to become iconic. Many even call it the Mumtaz saree drape.

Not just the saree drape, Mumtaz's high ponytail and winged eyeliner also became iconic fashion symbols. Mumtaz did the long winged eyeliner decades before it became a trend in recent years.

While she is known to rule in her saree avatars, she looked equally gorgeous and slayed in her western outfits as well. A true bombshell of her time, Mumtaz was a complete fashion icon.

Mumtaz looked stunning as a bride in this look. Dressed in a bridal red saree with all the jewellery and acessories, she was a vision to behold. 

Chunky statement-making jewellery may be a trend now, but Mumtaz did it way before. The chunky earrings look so stylish as she adds her signature charm.
