Whenever we think of Bollywood fashion, we usually think of extravagant pieces and designer labels that, forget owning, we can't even pronounce. But that does not mean we do not copy the style of our favorite celebrities. But since we cannot afford the labels and brands they were we resort to buying our own dress material and coaxing our local tailor to become the perfect balance of Ralph and Russo and Manish Malhotra in a price that is more suited to our pockets or just buy cheaper knock offs from that market in our city that promises to get us the exact replica of that Sabyasachi lehenga Anushka wore, for our middle-class pockets.
While us peasants like us doing it somewhat understandable, but when celebrities who can afford to buy every designer label in the world, wears copied designs and knock off, which are usually safer it truly baffles us. Not only that, being popular figures who influence the fashion industry, them promoting knock-offs and copied design is grossly unfair to the original artists. Here are some major Bollywood and TV celebrities who proudly wore knockoffs and copied designs.

Shweta Nanda
She fashionista recently launcher own line of clothes is association with Monisha Jaisingh, but looks like her fashion inputs are not as unique as her personality. The T-Shirt that she is wearing in this picture is from her own collection, but the problem it is almost an exact copy of a t-shirt that is sold by the brand TL Room

Jennifer Winget
Its not that Indian designers copy from foreign designers, they rip off Indian designers as well. The original piece by Nachiket Barve was totally copied by Madhur and that is the one Jennifer is wearing

Kareena Kapoor Khan
Yeah, even Bebo went for a knock-off, though we are not sure if it was intentional. The jacket Bebo is wearing is supposed to be a Manish Malhotra creation which would sure be pricey, but it is actually pretty similar to the jacket that Topshop sells for $89.

This ONLY crop top that Kiara is rocking is actually a copy of the Chritsian Dior top that Bella Hadid wore about a year back.

Meher Vij
The Secret Superstar was seen wearing and promoting this Rippi Sethi number at IIFA this year. However, looking at the picture of Sonam Kapoor its evident that the design was copied from the Manish Arora skirt than Sonam wore during the promotions of Khoobsurat.

Raghav Juyal
Raghav's outfit by Richa Singh is an exact copy of Hrithik Roshan's Shantanu and Nikhil number.

Raveena Tandon
Raveena surely did not check that the Ranna Gill outfit she was flaunting is a replica of this Jenny Packham gown.

Sargun Mehta
Malvika Kapoor who has designed the gown Sargun is wearing is really bold to be copying a design from Dior Couture
- 12/16
Shraddha Kapoor
Shradhha Kapoor wore this Purple Paisley creation that is a little too inspired by this piece by Dior.

Shraddha Kapoor
Yet again, Shradhha went for a knock-off instead of the original piece. This time the dress she wore by Sonakshi Raaj is basically copied from the piece designed by the brand Aadnevik for Selena Gomez's song, Come, Get It!
- 14/16
Yami Gautam
If Yami thought that the Nikita Mhaisalkar number she is wearing was an original designer piece then she was sadly mistaken. The real design was created by Ferragamo and was seen on Sonam Kapoor a while back before Yami sported it.
- 15/16
Sunny Leone
If there is anything that is more sad than Sunny Leone's Archana Kochar gown being a knock off of Versace worn by Gigi Hadid, it is the dismal fit of the gown.

Janhvi Kapoor
Off late, Janhvi has acquired the status of a fashionista. However recently she made a faux pas which is the worst nightmare for every fashionista. She was caught wearing a Purple Paisley number which was a total copy of a Balmain design from one of their latest collection.
