The highest paid actress of B-town has officially been tagged the 'Style Diva of Bollywood', since launching her very own fashion bible worldwide! Kareena Kapoor, who was always known as the bubbly quintessential actress of the fraternity has proven herself as the new uber chic, fashion icon. Where other actresses such as Sonam Kapoor have been increasingly referred to as style icons, endorsing and wearing high-fly brand names like Gucci and Roberto Cavalli from time to time, it seems Kareena has bagged this title on from her!
But what makes Kareena the ultimate Style Diva, why does her sense of fashion work like no other?
- Kareena has been in the industry for almost 10 years, and has gone through the highs and lows of exploring fashion labels. Looking back at Kareena's earlier films, no one was particularly drawn to what she wore! Other than the traditional sari, Kareena did not appear like the ultra sophisticated glam-queen, and as much as we were drawn to her acting skills her fashion sense was rarely applauded! Despite the number of fashion disasters, vast transformations have taken place as she now makes heads turns as Geet in Jab We Met dressed traditionally or as Maahi in Heroine in urban chic wear!
- Her weight fluctuations over the years have also raised much eyebrows, and have been at the forefront of Bollywood news headlines over and over again! She entered the fraternity as someone who didn't have the conventional Miss India or Miss Universe figure. Then in 2008- Tashan happened- meaning Kareena Kapoor went on a strict diet regimen with the help of a health specialist to fulfil the role of Pooja- a slender bikini shaped female! Kareena's weight, however, had adverse affects on the media and she was labelled the first 'size zero' of Bollywood.
- Criticism left, right and centre poured in as many disapproved of Kareena's new look. She looked gauntly and boney that it almost seemed as if Kareena ruined her image in the public eye. Whilst filming for 3 Idiots the director Rajkumar Hirani and then-boyfriend Saif requested her to put on some weight to look the part and look healthy again! Against all odds, Kareena came back with a bang! She was recognised as a sensual, curvaceous, beautiful actress- and this day on girls worldwide wanted to achieve the Kareena Kapoor hour glass figure.
- Amongst this, her controversial upfront nature has continued to spark gossip in B-town. Kareena has previously been questioned about her fashion views of the 'shoe-lover' vs the 'handbag lover', whereby she favoured over the shoes suggesting they are more graceful, sophisticated and stylish then handbags could ever be- stating: 'bags on the other hand are just arm candy'. Although her views are debatable, she seemed to have influenced the nations fashion tastes, as girls kept an eye on Kareena's heels at various events!
The reason as to why Kareena is labeled as the nations Style Diva is because she has been through a turmoil of experiences to make her the diva she is today. From weight problems to major fashion disasters, Kareena is one lady who has worked hard at carving her reputation and body image. This was not something that just happened over night, but after 10 years in the industry she has proved herself as being someone more than an actress, the fashion idol youngsters can look upto!
Now if you're looking for a autobiography or personal insight into Kareena's life then I'm afraid this is not quite that! What it is, however, is a celebrity insight into the world of fashion and style for the confused yet enthusiastic individual keen to groom and look after themselves, maintain their sense of style and get the awe-inspiring Kareena Kapoor persona. One thing I personally love about her sense of style is the fact she maintains glowing and immaculate skin whilst wearing little makeup! Something we girls should take time to learn about and indulge in more!
