Nowadays, stars work with stylists and bad dressing days are few and far between.

Our pick of 2017's most fashionable folk is a dazzling blend of allure and attitude.

A recap of the looks that stood out or set the red carpet on fire.

The all-rounder

Stick to a designer who understands your style soul is Sridevi's mantra or so we've understood from her allegiance to fashion gurus Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra.

'Every little thing she does is magic.' The Police may have well written this song with Aditi Rao Hydari in mind.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif's newfound enthusiasm for dolling up may seem negligible compared to a clotheshorse like Sonam, but it's refreshing to see the Tiger Zinda Hai star step out of her comfort zone.

 

Slick Chic

There's a wonderful, well-defined, quality to Anushka Sharma's fashion aesthetic and it's grown in confidence just like her performance over time.

 

Princess of Cool!

One of the greatest challenges for a celebrity is to not only stand out from the crowd, but also other celebrities.

The ALWAYS impeccably turned out Neha Dhupia has nailed the art so, SO well.

 

The world is not enough

Featuring alongside the likes of Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon on international Best-Dressed lists means a big deal in Hollywood's cut-throat scene.

Only Priyanka Chopra's constantly upward fashion game makes it look like a walk in the park.

Kangana Ranaut may not be much of a social bird, but her rocking confidence and killer chic quotient at airports and events is the A to Z of awesome.

 

The Hip-Men

Breaking away from the boring suit 'n' boot scheme, there is much to learn from and love about Akshay Kumar's gentlemanly fervour, Ranveer Singh's quirky attire, Sidharth Malhotra's easy breezy casuals, Shahid Kapoor's dapper dude, Ayushmann Khurrana's fusion twist and Varun Dhawan's classic aplomb.
