Bollywood stars conquering the world in 'khussas'

Touch base with your culture and go grab a pair!

Shoes are a girl's best friend, after diamonds of course. When has it been a bad idea to go shoe shopping? Never.

Out with the old and in with the new. It's time to clear out your closets and rid them of heels because khussas seem to be the hip and happening items right now.



With a gamut of varieties, one can never have too many. Times have changed and even though it may seem a little old-fashioned to go back to these traditional soles, the new designs provide a contemporary twist.

Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut and Shraddha Kapoor have been parading these shoes around recently to spruce up their #OOTDs. Compiled by Bollywood Life, check out the look-book with all the stars showing off their new footwear:

Culturally inspired by Indian royalty, these khussas have been revived and customised to fit in with modern day styles.

Additions of embellishments and fabrics such as velvet or silk not only add heaps of charm to ensembles but can spice up your everyday look too.

The idea of modifying old-world charm for a new age appeal has lead the ethnic shoes to compete with their futuristic counterparts (think rockstud sandals and strappy heels)!

These cultural shoes really stand out when paired with a basic top and jeans. Don't believe us? Check out Shraddha!

They really give this everyday look the oomph it needs.
