As Hollywood's most fashionable stars Gwyneth Paltrow once famously said, 'Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.' 

Whether it's Snow White, Marilyn Monroe or Rekha, there's something authoritatively sexy about dabbing the reddest of hues on a pair of voluptuous lips.  

Trends come and go but like the racy LBD, red lips are an timeless classic. And these days Bollywood beauties are sporting it more than ever. Take a look. 

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

No one wears crimson lips better than Hindi cinema's most beautiful. 

Right from her Lakme modelling days to Guzaarish's resilient Sofia to the Cannes red carpet, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan leaves quite a lip-smacking impression.

If flaunting her hot pout in provocative mango juice commercials wasn't enough, the Ek Tha Tiger actress unleashes another glamorous avatar accentuated by a bright red lipstick.

With a 'Skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, hair as black as ebony,' the super stylish Kareena Kapoor seems straight out of a Brothers Grimm description.

Whether you find her singing skills 'exotic' enough, there's no denying Priyanka Chopra's strengths at rocking those full lips in a stunning shade of scarlet.

She may have started out as a serious actress but Chitrangda Singh's glamorous transformation as one of tinsel town's most fashionable is simply wow. 

Ditto for her ruby red lips popping out of the magazine cover.

No mention of red lips is complete without its most enduring endorser, Rekha. 

The ageless diva never leaves home without her trademark matted rose lips and gold baubles.
