Summer fashion tips, filmi style

It takes that extra special effort to be comfortable and still look stylish when one steps put in the blazing summer heat.

But Bollywood actresses have mastered the art and look dewy fresh in soothing garments and cool colours even in these soaring temperatures.

Here's a dekko at some of the fine examples you could emulate:

Bipasha Basu

The sultry actress, whose film Dum Maaro Dum is releasing tomorrow, remains a frontrunner here. Since the story is set in Goa, Bipasha is seen wearing a lot of shorts, frilly skirts and tank tops in the film.

Here, she's seen in a pair of white shorts and a green kurti, a combo that spells c-o-o-l.

Lara Dutta

Newly married Lara Dutta keeps it simple yet smart with white and linen, the best way to beat the heat in style. She jazzes up her outfit with a Louis Vuitton tote.

Kangna Ranaut

Bohemian beauty Kangna Ranaut's style is all about laidback elegance as she steps out in a white cotton maxi dress and her famous curly mane.

Katrina Kaif

British beauty Katrina Kaif, who was chosen as the face for the Barbie, looks innocent in an outfit that seems ideal for summer. A grey tee teamed with a checked skirt and sneakers. The yellow hairband completes the cute look.

Dia Mirza

Dia Mirza looks adorable and chirpy in this empire-line flowy dress. A perfect colour combination to compliment the weather.

Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor sets the temperature soaring in what looks like a maxi dress with a thigh-high slit. The bright colours just up the hotness.

Shilpa Shetty

Actress and entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty flaunts her best assets -- her legs in an adorable fuschia dress.

Deepika Padukone

Besides selling cold coffee on television, Deepika Padukone is also adept at combining formal wear with comfort clothing. Case in point: The dress here in a very cool shade of peach put together with peep-toes and the aviators just spells class!

Genelia D'Souza

The actress flaunts her tom-boyish side with dungrees and colour-coordinated tank top and shoes.

Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra, who's known to favour short dresses over any other outfit, must be loving summers. Here, she's seen working the ultra-casual summer chick look in a white tank top and denim skirt.

Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor flaunts her long legs in a cute, flirty dress and flats, taking comfort-dressing to fashionable heights!

Amrita Arora

Amrita Arora may not have the knack for choosing the right films but she is a sharp dresser. The married actress is almost always seen impeccably dressed. Here too, she personifies summer chic in this printed dress and funky shoes.
