Fashion's blue eyed girl

For the love of saris

The Queen of style
IMAGE: Actor Kangana Ranaut is high on edgy and chic ensembles. The actor loves to experiment and her androgynous suits are the most desirable right now! Not someone who'd play it safe, Kangana's sartorial choices are steal-worthy.

Designer's muse

The Ministry of refreshing dressing
IMAGE: Author Arundhati Roy is stylish in a minimalist yet impactful way. She can make simple clothes (like the one she wore on this cover, above) look so stunning, just as she can impressively carry off her salt-and-pepper look.

Crusader of simplicity
IMAGE: Actor and director Nandita Das inspires people to embrace simplicity through her dress style. From lovely chanderi salwar-churidar sets to handloom skirts, cotton saris to khadi tops, she looks beautiful and at ease with everything she wears.

Pop princess who is pushing the boundaries of fashion
IMAGE: Singer Anushka Manchanda is a pro when it comes to dressing casually -- you'll mostly spot her in a pair of rugged denims and a loose, oversized T-shirt. She's the one who can dress down -- or up -- without much fuss and still look stunning.

The one with the most sought after wardrobe
IMAGE: Chairperson and founder of Reliance Foundation Nita Ambani seems to have reversed her ageing -- she keeps looking younger and more enviable with each passing day.
Full marks to her for having some brilliant fashion moments -- she has successfully established an identity of her own -- at work and in her dress sense.

Newest contender in the style stakes
IMAGE: UP CM Akhilesh Yadav's wife is one of those few politicians who takes great pains about dressing up in some gorgeous saris during campaigns, rallies, etc. Dimple's collection of handloom saris are the sort we'd love to steal.

The star of her show
IMAGE: Raise your hands if you have ever wanted to wear your hair like the way author and journalist Shaili Chopra does? She's proof of the fact that journalists don't necessarily need to carry jholas and be dressed in khadi. She's clearly not one to shy from a good styling challenge.
