IMAGES: India's best-dressed women 2013!
Magazine Vogue India published it's 2013 Style List, featuring the nation's top 50 best-dressed ladies, in its latest issue this month. Here's a look at the biggest names that made the cut!
The women in the following pages are style icons alright -- what they step out in today is tomorrow's rage.
And it doesn't hurt that this validation comes from the world's fashion bible, more popularly known as Vogue Magazine.
We present 20 of the most influential names to make it to the Vogue 2013 Style List.
Dia Mirza
We've never known this flawless beauty to stumble, sartorially speaking -- Dia is always well turned out and definitely one of the best-dressed desi divas.
Deepika Padukone
You could argue that it's easy to carry off practically anything with a supermodel's bod, but then Dippy is never seen in 'just anything' -- even her casuals are well put together and as for her formals, well, they're classics.
Karisma Kapoor
It's not just younger sis Bebo who looks up to Karisma for her sense of style; the yummy mummy is always impeccably dressed and never spotted with so much as a hair out of place.
Neetu Kapoor
Chalk up another win for the Kapoors. Timeless glamour, elegance and most importantly, aging gracefully are Neetu's forte -- other actresses her age could do with some advice from her in the wardrobe department!
Kajol
We don't know who the stylist is that's wielded such wonders, but Kajol has gone from frumpy and dumpy to stepping out looking like the superstar she is. Hardly surprising that Vogue is delighted with her new avatar.
Kangna Ranaut
One of few Bollywood hotties who isn't afraid to experiment with her wardrobe, Kangs gets it right most of the time -- and even when she doesn't, she earns plenty of points for originality and non-conformism.
Sonam Kapoor
No best-dressed list would be complete without this couture chameleon, who even does us proud on the international red carpet. Now if only Sonam's career was going great guns like her dressing!
Natasha Poonawalla
The socialite and director of the Serum Institute of India always has her eye on the best of international fashion, and admits to Vogue that her biggest investment is her world-class closet. Talk about big bucks!
Anushka Sharma
When it comes to public appearances, Anushka always makes sure that that she'll stand out from the crowd, trying her hand at everything from unusual gowns to androgynous tuxedos.
Shweta Bachchan Nanda
The Bachchan who maintains the lowest profile emerges ahead of all her more famous family members in this race, including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Could have something to do with her naturally sophisticated choices.
Esra Jah
This Turkish-born Hyderabad royal is the very embodiment of regal elegance, always opting for timeless ethnicwear -- think exquisite but demure saris set off with strings of pearls.
Neha Dhupia
Never one to shy away from cutting-edge outfits, Neha's choices are bold, beautiful and for the most part unusual, placing her firmly in the 'can't touch this' category.
Nita Ambani
You could say that she's got the money for it, but then cash doesn't necessarily buy class -- something Mrs Ambani thankfully has plenty of, especially when it comes to style.
Twinkle Khanna
Mrs Akshay Kumar has made a career out of her good taste -- she's a hugely successful interior designer -- and adorns herself as well as she does people's homes.
Sridevi
You can't hold a candle to Sri when it comes to age-defying tactics. What's more, her clothes do the same.
Anamika Khanna
When you're dressing the best-dressed celebs, you know you've arrived -- and this fashion designer certainly has.
Malaika Arora Khan
One of the few B-Town sirens who knows how to look sexy without looking trashy, Malli's sartorial choices are certainly worth emulating -- if you look that hot!
Gauri Khan
She's got an image to maintain and Gauri certainly does, with a polished and refined sense of style -- even if it does get a little repetitive at times.
Kiran Rao
The only star wife who refuses to conform to the bandage dress-and-stilettos code has certainly earned our respect. Kiran's look is fresh, easygoing and vibrant, and suits her to the tee.
Bhawna Sharma
Few models look as good off the runway as they do on it, but Bhawna fits the bill...moving around in fashion circles has made a regular fashionista of her.
