There's never a dull moment in the Bollywood fashion scene.

At any given point of time, someone is either making headlines for a radical makeover (case in point: the exceptional turn-around of Kajol) or consistent faux paus (Vidya Balan at Cannes).

Here, we take a look at the best dressed ladies of 2013.

Deepika Padukone

When she's not starring in back-to-back blockbusters, Deepika Padukone can be seen making a splash at the numerous various social dos Bollywood loves to throw every now and then.

While her statuesque frame and fine features make sure that none of her public appearances go unnoticed, this particular Prabal Gurung gown she wore to the 2013 Filmfare awards stood out for, well, obvious reasons.

Sonam Kapoor

No matter how atrocious a concept or design is, the flawlessly fashionable Sonam Kapoor inexplicably makes everything work.

The India International Jewellery Week ambassador rocked this classic look with an equally striking necklace as she walked the ramp in April this year.


Sridevi

After an acting career unfortunately marred by poor fashion choices, Sridevi has really grown into her own as the ultimate red carpet diva with her consistently immaculate gowns, ornate saris and a sense of what works on her in the second phase of her career.

This classy gown she wore at the IIFA awards in July this year made us turn green with envy.

Nargis Fakhri

Nargis Fakhri is exactly the kind of person who can wear all that bling and not look ridiculous.

What was a potential disaster turned out to be quite the red carpet moment when Nargis arrived at the TOIFA in April this year, looking ridiculously glamorous in this sensational number and hot pink lips.

 

Kareena Kapoor

It's as though she didn't just marry a guy with royal lineage but actually turned into born royalty.

First off, hats off to the designer/stylist who put this extremely classy outfit together.

And to Kareena for doing absolute justice to it.

Anushka Sharma

The Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola actress's transformation from an awkward debutante to an instinctive dresser has been remarkable.

While her contemporaries drowned in the collective sea of bling, sequins and randomly-placed sheer panels, Anushka aced her Filmfare awards 2013 appearance with this outstanding Victoria Beckham backless number.

 

Shilpa Shetty

When Shilpa Shetty emerged from the hospital with her newborn son and a few extra kilos, she seemed determined to get her incredibly toned, pre-baby body back.

And here we stand, watching in awe, as the actress pulled off this difficult number with admirable ease at an awards show on December 18.

We're surprised she hasn't been named India's 'The Body' yet.

Jacqueline Fernandez

As longtime fans of this Sri Lankan beauty's perfect pins, we'll have you know that unless she's having a particularly bad day, Jacqueline simply cannot have a fashion mishap.

Sequins, fishtail, tulle all put together?

Bring it on, she'll charms the pants off of onlookers.

She wore this Roberto Cavalli number to IIFA this year in July.

Esha Gupta

In terms of fashion, Esha Gupta is like that really good indie film that comes out of nowhere, knocks our socks off and goes on to become the sleeper hit of the year.

After consistently blowing our mind with her sartorial taste, the absolutely stunning actress was a sight to behold in this majestic Dior dress at 2013 Zee Cinema awards, held earlier this year.

Kangna Ranaut

Kangna Ranaut is the current queen of sex appeal, and even Aamir Khan agrees.

At the recently held Hello! Fame awards, the actress lends some of her fashion cred to the much neglected satin with this gown.

Chitrangda Singh

Chitrangda Singh wins the day just by virtue of being, well, Chitrangda Singh.

Want to flout all bridal wear rules and still win accolades? Sure, get Chitrangda to model it!

This outlandish Avza outfit that she walked the ramp in at the recently concluded bridal fashion week is now on many a would-be bride's wishlist.

Wanna bet?
