Sukanya Verma picks the best fashion stories of the year.

Nowadays, stars work with stylists and bad dressing days are few and far between.

But even trendy vision needs poise and personality to do the trick.

Our pick of 2017's most fashionable folk is a dazzling blend of allure and attitude.

A recap of the looks that stood out or set the red carpet on fire.

The all-rounder

No matter what's the occasion or mood, Deepika Padukone's sartorial choices are forever on point and anything but predictable.

Sonam Kapoor's penchant for designer drama lives up to its unflinching reputation as the high priestess of fashion.

 

The fashionista we need to talk about more

Diana Penty's style is deceptively effortless. And so elegant, we are still swooning over this year's sightings.

Kareena Kapoor Khan gave us quite a few sightings of the royal diva vibe she's going for.

Because she Cannes, Cannes, Cannes!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's bold and beautiful couture and cosmetics drama marks the highlight of the Cannes red carpet for the desi media. And, boy, did she delight in her fine, fabulous fairy tale-inspired avatars!

Stick to a designer who understands your style soul is Sridevi's mantra or so we've understood from her allegiance to fashion gurus Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra.

 

Sunshine Girl of Fashion

'Every little thing she does is magic.' The Police may have well written this song with Aditi Rao Hydari in mind.

When it comes to colour and clothes, the doe-eyed stunner can do no wrong.

 

Look, who's found her groove!

After committing many fashion boo-boos, Alia Bhatt scored in soft, sophisticated and subtle designs.

 

Look, who's having fun with fashion!

Katrina Kaif's newfound enthusiasm for dolling up may seem negligible compared to a clotheshorse like Sonam, but it's refreshing to see the Tiger Zinda Hai star step out of her comfort zone.

 

Slick Chic

There's a wonderful, well-defined, quality to Anushka Sharma's fashion aesthetic and it's grown in confidence just like her performance over time.

 

Princess of Cool!

One of the greatest challenges for a celebrity is to not only stand out from the crowd, but also other celebrities.

The ALWAYS impeccably turned out Neha Dhupia has nailed the art so, SO well.

 

The world is not enough

Featuring alongside the likes of Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon on international Best-Dressed lists means a big deal in Hollywood's cut-throat scene.

Only Priyanka Chopra's constantly upward fashion game makes it look like a walk in the park.

 

The Sharpshooter

Kriti Sanon's va va voom insights on glamour and striking gift for with-it versatility packed in a lot of promise this year.

 

Missy Awesome

Kangana Ranaut may not be much of a social bird, but her rocking confidence and killer chic quotient at airports and events is the A to Z of awesome.

 

The Hip-Men

Breaking away from the boring suit 'n' boot scheme, there is much to learn from and love about Akshay Kumar's gentlemanly fervour, Ranveer Singh's quirky attire, Sidharth Malhotra's easy breezy casuals, Shahid Kapoor's dapper dude, Ayushmann Khurrana's fusion twist and Varun Dhawan's classic aplomb.
