Kangana & Sonam share their style secrets...

Kangana's part:

The story goes thus. Smalltown girl from the hills comes to tinseltown. She walks through the fashion district and halts in front of a red Moschino dress. It calls out to her seductively. The tag says Rs 80,000 — the exact amount left in her account. Kangana Ranaut buys the dress. Food will have to wait.

It was a sartorial quirk that has certainly stood the 22-year-old in good stead. Three years into Bollywood and the waif-like beauty is already being serenaded for a unique diva-like appeal and superb style sense. Her model-like figure enhances even the most outrageous colours and cuts. Not to mention the hair. While actresses preferred the ironed, poker-straight mane, Kangana has stayed with her spirals. Going against the tide not just in her choice of roles, but also in matters of style.

While living in the small valley in Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh was the farthest the Ranauts could consider as fashion mecca. Her father would take them there for shopping. Young Kangana would devour every magazine she could lay her hands on while working in a beauty parlour, looking closely at movie posters pasted on walls.

But thankfully, after her foray into the industry, her sensibilities weren’t fashioned by Bollywood’s never-ending love affair with bling. No chiffon, swarowski-studded saris for her; Kangana made a splash in a swish of silk gowns and slashed-to-the-navel necklines; her unruly hair piled on top of her head like a crown. She wasn’t doing it for shock value; that’s just the way she is.

By the next year, everyone was wearing gowns at movie dos. Her clothescape is soiled only by a canary yellow outfit with a bikini top and yellow sash around her neck. A small price to pay for experimentation. “I dress according to my moods. When

I wear a black dress, it’s because I feel stark. At most, I’ll sit with Rick (Roy) and tell him what I have in mind and we’ll come up with something.”
Her icons are international — Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham. “I wear white shirt, shorts and bowler hat when I’m abroad”. Closer home, “Rita (Dhody) really knows how to dress for the occasion,” she says.

While her slim figure has mostly been draped in western ensembles Kangana loves saris too. “But it’s just too much to mind. Maybe I’ll wear them when I’m older and have two kids!”

Her obsession with clothes sees her following TV and magazines, where a favourite design is quickly sketched for future inspiration. Her fashion diktat: never shy to experiment. “There is really no such thing as a badly dressed person, only a constantly badly dressed person. I love women with short-short hair who wear oversized shirts with skinny pants; women in hand-blocked kurtas and kajal. I love all kinds of clothes.” And all kinds of clothes love her.

Thanks for starting this thread, Kangana is probably my favourite Bollywood star as far as style goes. I guarantee no other star would do the three-piece suit!
 
This will be an interesting next project for her...article from realbollywood.

Kangana is getting ready for the biggest challenge of her career. She’ll be playing whom she considers the most beautiful woman in the history of Indian cinema.

It’s a thought that flatters and terrifies her. Kangana is afraid she may not look beautiful enough on screen.

“I’ve never thought of myself as beautiful. In fact I’ve always suffered from the lowest self esteem. Till recently I’d look at my pictures and cringe. I still have the pictures from my first portfolio I got done in Chandigarh. They remind me of how ugly I can look. And to now play Madhubala in Once Upon A Time In Mumbai. How will I do it?”

Kangana is so petrified at the prospect she has stopped looking into the mirror completely.

Kangana laughs when people tell her playing the traumatized mistress of the underworld don would be a cakewalk for her. “I’m proud of my so-called territory as an actress. If playing traumatized women is my territory then I’m glad. Because I know I’m good at it.”

The challenge in Once Upon A Time… is the physicality. “Madhubala’s role is not as tragic as my other roles. It’s basically a very tender romance between this really funny don (played by Ajay Devgan) and this female superstar who can’t understand his personality. How will I manage to play the most beautiful woman that Indian cinema has ever seen? My characters have always had a dark and light side. And this one is no exception. But the challenge for me is to look almost ethereally beautiful, like Madhubala. How will I manage that?”

Kangana intends to undergo a complete transformation of look and appearance. She has already started watching DVDs of Madhubala’s films very carefully. “ I won’t copy her. But I want to get into her mind and heartspace.” - Subhash K Jha / Sampurn Media

Agree! They seem to criticise her style so much in India, but i think it is because she doesn't dress in the usual Gauri & Nainika, Manish Malhotra stuff.
