We all know Priyanka Chopra loves to surprise her fans. Be it doing films like 7 Khoon Maaf or putting up sassy appearances at social dos, the actress never ceases to be exciting.

But it was probably Priyanka's turn to be surprised when she was named the best dressed by People magazine recently.

Almost as if on cue, she simultaneously appeared on Maxim cover for the October issue in a racy avatar.

Titled the hottest girl of 2011 by the mag, the actress smoulders in black and white.

We decided to take a look at Priyanka's fashionable outings in the recent years, and see whether she really deserves People's Best Dressed title. Do vote for her look as well!

People's favourite

Priyanka Chopra on People cover

The actress seems to have taken to plunging necklines with a vengeance if this People cover is any indication.

Priyanka does classy with brown and minimalism. In the People interview, when she's asked about her favourite accessory, the actress quips, "I wear confidence."

Indeed. Do you agree?

The actress walked the ramp in a Manish Malhotra creation at People's unveiling of their third edition of India's Best Dressed list.

Known to favour short dresses than most other attires, Piggy Chops makes an exception for formal dos with Indian wear most of the times.

The talking point, here too, is the neckline. What do you think?

A still from Pyaar Impossible

The actress got into perfect shape whenever her part in a film demanded so. And she didn't let us down in Pyaar Impossible too, where she sports a string of skimpy outfits.

Priyanka rocks the multi-coloured halter bra and shorts here.

It's a thumbs up from us. What about you?

Sari appeal

Priyanka wore a Manish Malhotra Sari to the IIFA awards in 2009, adding that lil bit of jazz with an interesting drape.

Trust her to spice up predictable outfits.

What's your take?

Blending it with white

The actress walked the ramp for a Blender's pride show last month in a lacy Neeta Lulla lehenga and wavy long hair. Quite a welcome detour from her usual outfits.

Isn't it?

Mellow in yellow

The actress wore a bejewelled one-shouldered Gavin Miguel gown to an event in Dubai.

The yellow hue agrees with her.

Revisiting white

Priyanka made her first appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival with her film What's Your Rashee.

You have to give it to the lady for being in perfect shape to sport that outfit, if not berate her for a total disaster.

 

Black in the night

At another TIFF event, Priyanka wore a black dress that reached to her calves. An odd length. But an interesting neckline, if we might add.

Here comes the mini!

We couldn't possibly round off this list with one of the actress's must haves -- a casal mini.

She's sported scores of them over the years but she does manage to pull them off. Case in point, this super sexy yet comfortable-looking strapless romper. Love it!

Violet wonder

The actress walked the ramp in a violet dress around the time her film Fashion released.

Channelling the minimalist look, Priyanka shows she has oodles of confidence to walk the ramp. We like!
