Desi or videsi? Which fashion avatar of Deepika, Kangana do you like best? VOTE!

Last updated on: August 17, 2015 18:21 IST

Take your pick!

The modern Bollywood heroine is quite the all-rounder where fashion is concerned.

With a snap of the stylist’s finger, she transform into a ball-ready Cinderella. In another, she changes into grand and glorious ethnic avatar.

Bottom-line: red carpets are looking more versatile than ever.

So how do you like to see your favourite star dressed? Desi drama or dazzling in a gown? Go ahead and take your pick!

Deepika Padukone

Anything would like killer on that gorgeous frame. Deepika Padukone is flawless in her sparkly sari. The Piku girl is no less tantalising flaunting her toned curves in a smouldering cut-out gown.

Here’s a tougie, which one do you like better?

Sonakshi Sinha

Whether it’s an ornate lehenga or minimalistic pastel gown, Sonakshi does two distinctly different versions of ‘pretty in pink’ rather well.

Don’t you think so too?

Katrina Kaif

The Hong Kong born, Europe bred Katrina Kaif finds her comfort zone in designer western wear but, man, can she make heads turn every time she dons something desi?

So what is Ranbir Kapoor’s preference? ;-)

Sonam Kapoor

We’ve seen Sonam Kapoor in so many beautiful clothes since she set foot in the industry but there’s just no sign of monotony.

Bollywood’s favourite clotheshorse looks at home in both -- shimmering saris and sweeping gowns. What do you like the Khoobsurat stunner best in?

Jacqueline Fernandez

The Sri Lankan beauty is a complete goofball on her Instagram feed. Don’t be fooled by those madcap poses though. Jacqueline Fernandez is all elegance on the red carpet -- be it a bubble gum pink gown or dreamy, flowy lehenga.

Kick, er, pick a favourite.

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut’s wardrobe is as delightful as her performances. We love how easy she makes even the trickiest outfits look.

Pairing a heavy-duty diamond neckpiece with a simple chiffon sari or metallic grey gown against a sleek bun, the Queen actress seldom gets it wrong.

Kareena Kapoor

There’s something innately stylish about Bebo. And she channels that sartorial poise effectively and consistently on screen and off it.

What’s not to love about her glamorous turn in a monochrome gown or offbeat take on the classic sari?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

That wine cliche holds remarkably true for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The eternal beauty, all set to return on silver screen with Sanjay Gupta’s Jazbaa, just gets better with every passing year.

A picture of intense glamour in a garnet red gown, a vision in a glittery peach chiffon sari -- we’ll have to toss a coin to choose between the two.

Priyanka Chopra

The super busy PeeCee finds just about enough time to juggle between a diva and devi for the red carpet.

Statuesque in a stunning, structured gown or pretty in a pristine white sari, you going with?

Alia Bhatt

The 22-year-old cutie looks best in young, fun clothing.

Having said that, we thought Alia fared most favourably in a lovely cream and copper lehenga. Her attempt to look mature in a striking black gown wasn’t half bad either. What say?

Bipasha Basu

The hottie refuses to stay in a fashion rut just because of her sex symbol tag. Going by how impeccably she turns up outside her popularity zone, we have no cause for complain.

How pretty is Bips sporting Yash Chopra’s favourite colour in the form of a gorgeous gown as well as an embellished anarkali?

Shraddha Kapoor

The newcomer has hit a sweet spot at the box office thanks to Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, Haider and ABCD 2. Shraddha Kapoor is quickly gathering notice for her sartorial choices too.

The youngster radiates infectious charm in a salmon pink gown. Ditto for her blush and peach lehenga.

Confused, much?

Sridevi

We may not see the former numero uno enough on screen but Sridevi’s red carpet outings are simply to watch out for.

The 51-year-old actress is plain breathtaking in her pearl and gold sari. What’s amazing is how ravishing she looks in her tangerine floor-sweeping gown as well.

Aditi Rao Hydari

One of the most underrated fashionistas of Bollywood, Aditi Rao Hydari is consistently exciting in her appearances.

Her channelling old-fashioned glamour in an emerald brocade lehenga or showing off an hourglass figure in a sizzling lace number, which one gets your vote?
