Priyanka Chopra’s stylefile is a study in drab gone fab!
Piggy Chops has traversed a long way from being a plain Jane to a glamorous diva!
Priyanka Chopra’s
ultimate transformation from the desi girl to an international icon is
the stuff fairytales are made of. Living the glamorous American dream to
the hilt with her charming smile, affable nature and high-end fashion
game is Priyanka Chopra. PeeCee catapulted to unfathomed realms of fame
on the global platform. Priyanka Chopra is also a former Miss World who
clinched the coveted crown in 2000. While her International stint
certainly wasn’t a cakewalk, Priyanka sure does make it seem so!
Securing her ground firmly by clinching the People’s Choice Awards for
two years in succession, Daddy’s li’l girl has raced much ahead of her
contemporaries. A senior millennial, PeeCee is 34 and raring to go as
Baywatch is touted to be her big ticket to more offers in Hollywood. But
while the global media is besotted with our desi girl, we love how
Piggy Chops has traversed a long way from being a plain Jane to a
glamorous diva!
While there was never a debate about
Priyanka Chopra’s mettle as an actor, her apparent lack of style in her
formative years often attracted brickbats from the fashion pundits.
While the concept of styling evolved only recently, Priyanka Chopra’s
tryst with fashion translated onscreen in the form of Madhur
Bhandarkar’s movie Fashion for which she bagged a National Award in
2008. Quickly following it up with 7 Khoon Maaf, Barfi! and Bajirao
Mastani, PeeCee then zoomed off to USA and crooned three songs that put
her in the limelight. Beginning her career as a model, Priyanka Chopra’s
evolving looks over the years garnered appreciation and flak with
strong speculations of her having gone under the knife. But the
immaculate sense of style that Priyanka Chopra flaunts, as is justified
by her recent win of the Sexiest Red Carpet Look by Victoria’s Secrets,
did not happen overnight! Priyanka Chopra underwent a massive
transformation and here’s the eye popping style evolution and some of
the best style moments of the Kashibai of Bollywood.
Modeling Days (2000)
Priyanka Chopra’s pageant win saw her
wearing a light pink strapless gown with an ornate choker neckline.
Don’t miss the signature plump lips and the locks of hair falling on her
eyes, as was the trend back then. A fairly loud makeup makes this
throwback picture truly a priceless one. Today, PeeCee’s Instagram
selfies are a far cry from these close up images!
Aitraaz (2003)
Turning a seductress with Aitraaz,
Priyanka Chopra was widely appreciated for her portrayal of Sonia Roy.
Gone were the loud dresses and the garish makeup!
PeeCee opted for sleeker hair and a much better sense of style.
Bluffmaster (2005)
Attuning to the style evolution in the
industry, along with being more comfortable with her body, Priyanka
Chopra did not shy from showing off that slim midriff wearing a white
top and a pair of hot pants, swaying sensually to the song, ‘Right Here
Right Now’ from the 2005 movie, Bluffmaster.
Krrish and Don (2006)
Catapulting PeeCee to the A-list
category of Bollywood were two movies – Krrish opposite Hrithik Roshan
and Don opposite Shah Rukh Khan. While Krrish showed Priyanka Chopra as
the cute girl-next-door with some classic western ensembles, Don firmly
established Priyanka Chopra’s potential as a screen blazer while looking
insanely hot!
Fashion and Dostana (2008)
Armed with a layered hairstyle and a
fashion sense that made far better sense, Priyanka’s sense of style in
these two films was vastly emulated by teenage girls in India.
The popular song, Desi Girl became synonymous with her as she marched ahead globally making us prouder than ever.
Indian red carpet at IIFA
It was in 2012 that Priyanka Chopra found solace in donning styles that were wow-worthy.
At the IIFA green carpet event, Priyanka Chopra made heads turn with her princess avatar in a stunning white flowy dress.
Red Carpet Shenanigans (2013-2017)
Priyanka Chopra turned a rockstar in the West and crooned some hit songs in collaboration with the likes of Pitbull, Will.I.Am and
The Chainsmokers. Flying back to India to do a few movies and brand
endorsements, Priyanka Chopra’s unmissable dance number, Ram Chahe Leela
got the audiences asking for more while her role as Kashibai in Bajirao
Mastani won her accolades. But it was her role in Quantico that pushed
the boundaries and here’s when she decided to enlist the help of the
international fashion stylist, Cristina Ehrlich, for all her red carpet
appearances. In 2016, Priyanka ruled the roost by being on international
covers, being UNICEF’s global Goodwill Ambassador and her Oscars 2016
dress found a place in the most Googled list of trending searches of
2016. Wearing a white strapless gown by the Lebanese fashion designer
Zuhair Murad, Priyanka Chopra’s sheer gown quickly made all the fashion
pundits sit up and notice her!
Going shimmery and glittery, Priyanka
Chopra donned a fitted Ralph Lauren gown at the recently concluded
Golden Globe Awards 2017 and accessorized the ditzy ensemble with a
stunning and delicate custom made necklace by Lorraine Schwartz. With
signature oxblood lips and loose tresses, Priyanka’s makeup was subtle
yet sexy!
Doing peachy pink on the red carpet at
the People’s Choice Awards 2017, Priyanka Chopra wore a strapless
ruffled asymmetric top with a fringe skirt from Sally LaPointe from
their Spring 2017 Collection and rounded up the look with a demure
makeup with hair left down.
Continuing her tryst with the glamorous
red carpet offerings, Priyanka Chopra donned a white Ralph and Russo
fitted gown from their Spring 2017 Collection that was replete with deep
side plunges making everyone gawk in renewed awe at the Oscars 2017.
Upping the style quotient each time she
stepped out, Priyanka Chopra hobnobbed with the who’s who of Hollywood,
gracing the front row of the much-awaited New York Fashion Show 2017 and
attending the pre and post-Oscars 2017 parties.
A bonafide star, Priyanka Chopra may
have had a rocky start in the fashion arena but she was clearly meant
for greater things and has worked her way to achieve it.
