Here's looking at the most stylish appearance by the Bollywood brigade this year!
Spelling perfection from head to toe, Bollywood’s most beautiful stepped out in style all through 2014 to awe and amaze.
With the year drawing to an end, here’s a recap of some of the most fashionable appearances in various categories.
Gowning glory
If Deepika Padukone looked every bit of Bollywood’s reigning queen in a glorious Gaurav Gupta gown, Cannes favourite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made new fans in a glitzy Roberto Cavalli whereas a ravishing Priyanka Chopra made heads turn in her smashing Alexander McQueen gown.
Desi girls
Kalki Koechlin’s mixed elements, black and mustard Nikhil Thampi sari, Sonam Kapoor’s ethereal fusion avatar by Anamika Khanna and Aditi Rao Hydari’s old-world elegance in an emerald green Sanjay Garg highlights the beauty of Indian ethnic wear beyond the run-of-the-mill.
Life of every party
If birthday girl Kangna Ranaut channelled Audrey Hepburn’s vibe yet again in a powder pink Dior dress and came out tops, Sonakshi Sinha and Kareena Kapoor sparkled like true blue Bollywood royalty in grand hues of Manish Malhotra for two of the year’s MOST star-studded shaadi shindigs.
Promotion Queens
A star’s engagement diary is swamped with touring for movie publicity and endorsement events. Except few can turn the exercise as stylish as Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor.
Chic, classy, charismatic -- these looks have it all.
Screening style
Boho chic, geek chic, retro chic, Anushka Sharma, Kangna Ranaut and Illeana D’Cruz exhibit a distinctly different but super trendy wardrobe at various special screenings this year.
Traveling trendsetters
Be it on big screen or airport lobby, movie stars are the cynosure of all eyes, all the time. And that’s why we like how Katrina Kaif, Parineeti Chopra and Sonam Kapoor balance fashion and comfort by playing with colours and prints.
What a turnaround!
Great things transpire when beautiful actresses begin to take fashion seriously and upgrade from dreary to dynamic.
Right at the beginning of 2014, Sonakshi Sinha upped her game in a resplendent Gauri & Nainika sapphire number; Kajol took our breath away in an elegant Ilk by Shikha & Vinita sari while Anushka Sharma graduated from nice to knockout in an unforgettable Burberry Prorsum outing.
Budding fashionistas
They’re no Sonam Kapoor but Esha Gupta, Kriti Sanon and Shraddha Kapoor sure get props for keeping things elegant and eclectic on the red carpet.
In a league of their own
Consistently fashionable and flawless, these pretty women rarely have a bad day on the red carpet. Karisma Kapoor’s is all about clean cuts and classics, Neha Dhupia’s sartorial choices and bold accessories never falter and Dia Mirza is one of those rare fashionistas who knows less is more.
Best-Dressed Men
And the year’s most impeccably dressed men of Bollywood are: Shah Rukh Khan and Imran Khan, cutting a suave picture in sharply tailored suits, as well as Abhishek Bachchan in a white tux that instantly reminds us of Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
