When Dev Anand’s black coat was too dangerous for public appearances

Dev Anand’s black coat became a fashion sensation after he wore it in several films, most notably in Kala Pani (1958) and Hum Dono (1961). His tall frame, slick hairstyle, and signature puffed hair complemented the black coat so perfectly that it turned into his trademark style. Audiences began to associate the look entirely with him.
