Deepika Padukone to Kangana Ranaut: Looking at B-Town beauties' empowered style

International Women's Day (IWD) is a focal point in the movement for women's rights. It's baffling how the definition of power dressing and the notion of feminine appeal have transformed over the years, especially in the #MeToo era. It's a time in fashion, where sex appeal is not necessarily equated with low necklines and high hemlines.
Thankfully, we've reached a phase where cerebral sexiness is toasted and women express their emotions through the consciousness-altering appeal of their sartorial picks. One day she wants to be dressed-up in Celine's midi-length skirts and the next day, she wants to go back to her roots in an Anavila creation. On some days, she wants to have fun in a chainmail dress with a thigh-high slit and on other days, she just wants to be comfortable in a nerdy tracksuit.
Today's fashionista wants to be in charge of her life, not be answerable to anyone and this free-spirited-ness reflects in her clothing choices too. One look at our Bollywood beauties and you'd know how they gravitate from one aesthetic to another and every look emotes a sense of independence, power and freedom.
If Kangana Ranaut breezes in and out of the airport like a coming-of-age politician, Sonam K Ahuja's power shoulder speak volumes about her unabashed flirtation with style.
Deepika Padukone's power trench coats and Anushka Sharma's athletic jumpsuits exude nonchalance like nothing else. On International Women's Day, here's toasting our cinema czarinas..
1. THE ULTIMATE POWER DRESSER
KANGANA RANAUT
From a minimal Dior dress to a more is more' Gucci creation Miss Ranaut is the living definition of power dressing. From international brands to homegrown labels she's made a seamless transition and her carriage reflects the ease, polish and confidence, which she has so plausibly come to epitomise.
2. THE FEARLESS FEMME FATALES
DEEPIKA PADUKONE
Deepika has proved time and again that covered up can be sexy too. All she needs is a basic white and a pair of ripped denims to wreak that multi-sensory assault. Tall, athletic and impossibly confident every look of Deepika is a sartorial study in less is more.'
3. ANUSHKA SHARMA
It would be wrong to call Anushka a fashionista in a generic sense, but she's definitely an original. Whether it's her ornate Sabyasachis or minimal H&Ms, she wears everything with great carriage and clothes never wear her something which can't be said about her contemporaries.
4. SONAM K AHUJA
Thumbing her nose at fashion critics and carving her own fashion path Sonam's style trajectory has gone from strength to strength. Taking something banal and making it look like haute couture is second nature to her.
