To quote celebrated designer Yves Saint Laurent, Fashion fades, style is eternal. Show business is a trade of breathtaking glamour and overwhelming glitz; where looking good is a 24/7 requisite. Our stars know this more than anyone else.
Whether they are walking down the red carpet, promoting their million-dollar movies, attending a charitable cause, waiting to board a flight or window-shopping in Oxford Street, you’ll almost always find them in a spic and span state.
Call it price of stardom or image consciousness, Bollywood loves fashion. But sporting trendy designer labels alone do not make an individual stylish. Style, as the late YSL rightly put, is eternal. And need we add, internal too.
With this thought Bollywood’s Top Ten fashionable stunners and hunks.
Priyanka Chopra
Don’t you just love how the gorgeous cancerian makes a chic statement in practically everything from skinny jeans to strappy dresses? It’s only fair she get to be a runway diva in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Diwali offering, Fashion.
Sonam Kapoor
We dig her hair. We dig her smile. But most of all we love her off-beat sense of fashion. Whether it’s the way she sets her tresses or does complete justice to wacky outfits, Anil Kapoor’s vintage fashion-obsessed beti is a complete original.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Enough has been said about her red carpet slips but when it comes to traditional Indian attire, the ever-so-regal Ash never gets it wrong.
Dia Mirza
It might take a while before you recall her last movie. Her glamour-personified appearances in the media, however, have a different story to tell. Bottom line: This former Miss India certainly knows how to mix hot trends with personal style.
Deepika Padukone
There’s a good reason why magazines love to have Deepika on their cover. She is endlessly fashionable. Remember how well she carried the 70s look in Om Shanti Om? Or her transformation into a Mediterranean Princess in Bachna Ae Haseeno? That’s Ms Padukone’s style power for you!
Katrina Kaif
Katrina Kaif’s affinity for fashion is no secret. For films like Namastey London and Race, the successful stunner went all out, carefully hand-picking a designer wardrobe from plush stores abroad giving us ample indication of her elegant, sophisticated taste.
Kareena Kapoor
Size zero or not, Bebo is Bollywood’s definitive clothes horse. A dedicated student of high-end fashion with a classy persona to match, Kareena is round-the-clock hip and happening.
And so, irrespective, of whether she is spending exclusive time with the jawans for some news channel or holidaying abroad, she looks fresh off- the-boutique.
Shilpa Shetty
Some are born fashionistas. Some learn the hard way. Shilpa Shetty belongs to the latter category. After a decade full of loud make-up and gaudy clothing, the lissome lass has finally mastered the A to Z of international fashion.
Preity Zinta
There’s more to Preity Zinta than her pixie smile and legendary effervescence. And we aren’t talking about her new-found love for parallel cinema. This high-priestess of haute couture never fails to make a-cut-above-the-rest impression for whatever occasion she chooses to dress.
Twinkle Khanna
With Akshay Kumar’s continuous exposure to the limelight, one gets to see a lot more of wifey Twinkle Khanna as well. And when those appearances are this ultra modish, who are we to complain?
