Ever wondered how actors always manage to look oh-so-stunning? Most of our B-town celebrities have been associated with stylists, who make them look the way they do. With their busy schedules and unending commitments, they put the task of deciding what to wear into someone else's able hands. Right from picking out the outfit and accessories, to the make-up and hair that would suit a look is left to these magicians! More often than not, a star's unique style quotient is developed by their stylists, who work very closely with them in order to understand their likes and dislikes.
We spoke to some of the stylists who are the brains behind some of the most impeccably turned out stars today...
Nitasha Gaurav
Stylist for: Ranveer Singh
We all love him for his unabashed attitude and confidence. He constantly experiments with different looks; something that not many others have tried. He loves the attention, he loves being loud and his clothes say just that!
Nitasha Gaurav who also styles Ayushmann Khurrana, Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor, has been working with Ranveer for quite a few years now.
When asked what she loves the most about Ranveer, she said, "He is quite extraordinary and he likes to push the envelope. He is someone who colours outside the line and is extremely confident. He understands that clothes don't overpower you. No one can wear his kind of clothes and he is fine with it. He believes greatly in being comfortable. He is the poster boy for wearing what he likes. He is the ultimate fashion statement!"
Tanya Ghavri
Stylist for: Sonam Kapoor
She is undoubtedly the First Lady of fashion in Bollywood. A diva in every sense, Sonam Kapoor has a strong team that works behind creating all the stunning looks that she manages to pull off with panache. Often styled by her sister, Rhea, she also works in unison with her friend, Tanya Ghavri, who also styles Kareena Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez and Asin.
Talking about Sonam's style, Tanya says, "Sonam's style is incredibly versatile. She can carry pretty much anything. Today she is known for her style, which is very iconic. She'll be one of those people who will be remembered 50 years later. She is definitely someone who has changed the style of Bollywood and has instigated the focus on how the actresses in the industry should be perceived."
Ami Patel
Stylist for: Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra is multifaceted and how! An A-list actor, an international pop star and now ready to make her American television debut with Quantico, she's always at the top of her game. But with her jet-setting life style and constant shuffling between Los Angeles and Mumbai, she always has to be spot-on with her style statements too and she does it all quite well with the help of her stylist, Ami Patel. Ami, who is also known for putting together Kangana Ranaut's chic looks, was formerly a Creative Director with some of India's top fashion magazines.
In complete awe of Priyanka, Ami says, "I would describe her as edgy and trend-setting. She's someone who is born with in-built confidence. Every time she wears something, she makes it look really good. She makes my job easy because everything suits her. It is all because of her uniqueness and sheer star-power. She is also very clear about her likes and dislikes."
Allia Al Rufai
Stylist for: Deepika Padukone
She is one of the most beautiful actresses in the industry and oozes elegance like no other. The doe-eyed Deepika is also a sartorial favourite and every stylist's dream. No matter the occasion or the appearance, Deepika never disappoints. She is always well dressed, even at the airport!
Allia Al Rufai exclusively styled Deepika for the Piku promotions. When asked what she loved most about that experience, she said, "To be honest, her style is very classic and chic. Everything looks good on her. She's like a mannequin. I think she is extremely graceful and elegant in the way she carries herself. It is her uniqueness. She is also incredibly amazing to work with!"
