There’s no denying it—moustaches are having a moment. From the silver screen to red carpets, some of the most stylish men are embracing facial hair like never before. Once associated with vintage charm or ultra-masculine ruggedness, the moustache has been having a contemporary renaissance. Whether it’s for a role or just a bold style statement, actors and musicians alike are bringing back everything from the pencil-thin classic to the full-bodied chevron.

A defining feature that adds personality, character, and even a touch of mystery—whether paired with a beard or left to stand on its own, this timeless grooming choice is proving to be as versatile as it is eye-catching. From Vicky Kaushal’s well-groomed statement stache to Chris Evans’ thick, no-nonsense chevron, here’s a closer look at the leading men championing this revival.

Vicky Kaushal with the classic handlebar


Bollywood heartthrob Vicky Kaushal has mastered the art of the well-groomed moustache, often sporting a thick handlebar that exudes old-school charm. Whether it's for his rugged look in Sardar Udham or his suave appearances at red carpet events, Kaushal’s moustache adds a dose of maturity and sophistication to his persona.

Dev Patel, a bearded gentleman


Dev Patel opts for a full moustache complemented by a here-again-gone-again beard, a look that adds a certain brooding intensity to his presence. Seen in films like The Green Knight, his facial hair not only enhances his on-screen characters but also cements his status as a leading man we can't stop obsessing over. 

Ishaan Khatter with the effortless stubble


Ishaan Khatter knows how to strike the perfect balance between groomed and effortless. Often sporting a light beard and 'stache that add just the right amount of definition to his face, his facial hair complements his youthful charm without overpowering his features. It’s the kind of understated, well-maintained look that enhances his natural appeal—effortless yet undeniably stylish.

Chris Evans with the bold chevron


Known for his clean-cut Captain America look, Chris Evans took everyone by surprise when he debuted a thick, commanding moustache in The Gray Man. This style—a throwback to classic 70s machismo—gave him an edgier, slightly villainous appeal, proving that even the most all-American stars can pull off a daring facial hair transformation.

Justin Bieber with the laid-back 'stache


Justin Bieber has had a love-hate relationship with his mustache, often growing it out for a scruffy, boy-next-door vibe. His facial hair choices may be divisive among fans, but one thing’s for sure—he’s never afraid to experiment with his look. His stubble-meets-mustache aesthetic gives him a carefree, effortless cool.

The horseshoe rebel to salt-and-pepper sophisticate—Brad Pitt


Brad Pitt has rocked multiple moustache styles over the years, but his Inglourious Basterds horseshoe 'stache remains unforgettable. This bold, biker-esque look isn’t for the faint of heart, but Pitt made it work, adding a rugged, rebellious edge to his already effortless charm. Fast forward to 2025, and the Hollywood icon has embraced a more refined, salt-and-pepper moustache and beard combo. This effortlessly cool transformation reflects his evolution from Hollywood’s ultimate heartthrob to a distinguished silver fox—proving that no matter the style, Pitt’s facial hair remains as iconic as the man himself.

The perfectly faded stubble of The Weeknd


The Weeknd, too, has mastered the art of effortless stubble. Rather than a thick, statement moustache, he opts for a well-groomed yet natural-looking beard-and-moustache combo that adds depth to his sharp features. His facial hair has evolved over the years, but this soft, slightly unkempt look remains his signature—perfectly complementing his laid-back yet enigmatic persona. 

The ultimate shape-shifter Ranveer Singh


Bollywood’s king of experimentation, Ranveer Singh has donned multiple moustache styles over the years, from a regal curled stache in Bajirao Mastani to a sharp, angular look for his off-screen appearances. His ever-changing styles prove that facial hair can be as much a part of fashion as clothing.

Veer Pahariya with his effortless scruff


A fresh face in Bollywood, Veer Pahariya is making waves not just for his acting but also for his naturally rugged, unpolished beard. His slightly scruffy facial hair gives him an effortlessly cool, laid-back charm—perfectly in sync with the new wave of Bollywood heartthrobs. After making an impression in Skyforce, Veer continues to turn heads, proving that a relaxed, tousled beard can make just as much of a statement as a clean-cut look

In an age where personal style is more expressive than ever, moustaches are no longer just a relic of the past—they're a defining feature for some of the most fashionable men in entertainment today. Whether rugged, retro, or refined, the moustache trend is proving that facial hair is more than just a passing phase.

So, will you be taking notes from these Hollywood and Bollywood stars and embracing the moustache revival? One thing’s for sure—if these A-listers are anything to go by, the moustache isn’t just back; it’s here to stay.
