PIX: Taking fashion tips from Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor never ceases to surprise. Be it doing films like Chameli early in her career or dropping several dress sizes nonchalantly, she's had us wondering 'what's next?' all the time.

After her turn as a college student in Bodyguard, who dresses in rather drab salwar kameezes for reasons best known to the film's stylist, Kareena stunned us in her red hot avatar as the full-bodied Chammak Challo in a red sari and luscious mane in Ra.One.

Red saris haven't looked better.

Here, we look at Kareena's fashion choices over the years. !

Kareena took our breath away as she posed as a bride for Hi! Blitz.

The crimson-coloured dupatta, the jewellery and those smouldering eyes spell other-worldly charm so well, it's difficult to peel your eyes away from this sight.

Kareena models a little black dress with hair pulled back, working the minimalist look to great effect.

Kareena sweated it out to get that elusive size zero figure for Tashan and look what happened! It was like seeing the actress transform from a plump, cute girl into a slick livewire.

It was a treat to see the actress frolick by the sea in a sparkly bikini and hotpants.

Kareena endorses Sony Viao laptop in a skimpy one-shouldered dress and strappy heels.

It's all about packaging, isn't it?

The actress accentuates her tiny waist with a black belt as she models for a clothes brand in a satin dress.

Very high street.

Kareena struts her stuff in a grey dress and designer bag in the film Kambakht Ishq. Despite the lousy plot and acting, the film could still be deemed watchable just for Kareena.

The actress plays a model and a medical student who often is seen parading around in designer clothes.

The actress looks ready for a sweltering summer here, dressed in a cool yellow dress and is on trend with a blue clutch, colour-blocking her outfit.

Kareena works a coy look and her famous pout, dressed in a printed green dress for a print ad and matches the dress with pointy shoes in green.

The actress walked the ramp for Manish Malhotra recently in a glittery off-white dress with unflattering sleeves and silhouette.

But what the dress lacks, Bebo makes up for it with her inherent charm.

The dismal Ayesha Takia and Tusshar Kapoor-starrer Kya Love Story Hai had just one high point -- Kareena's guest appearance in a song.

With a dash of bronzer and a golden cutout top, Kareena danced to It's Rocking.

Kareena lets her V-neck dress, the chunky necklace and cheekbones do the talking as she poses for a shoot.

That's so haut!

The bride is back again in a more traditional outfit and an attitude to boot.

Kareena looks her effervescent self in a embroidered lehenga, making the most of her beautiful face and spirit.

And here, the actress shows off her toned legs as she sits on a wooden staircase.

Dressed in a mini, suede boots and a leather hand accessory, Kareena looks younger than her years.
