Late singer Bappi Lahiri is credited with some of the biggest musical hits the country has heard. While he stood stall as a noted singer, the first image one has of the singer his his unique sense of style. Bappi da was known as `Bling Bling Bappi Lahiri` in Bollywood and Hollywood owing to his love for adorning gold jewellery. 

In an interview with Anupama Chopra for Vogue India, Bappi Lahiri had spoken about his sense of style. "My biggest inspiration was Elvis Presley. I watched him as a child—he had a chain with a big cross, dark glasses and a bracelet. I decided that I would also create an image for myself. And just like that I established my image with time—and today without gold there’s no Bappi da. Even now, after 50 years, if one of my songs plays, 2,000 people will be dancing. I just performed in Singapore, and before that in Muscat and Goa. The public is mad about me…," he shared.
