 |
Sonal Chauhan
(Walked for Purvi Doshi)
Everyday style: For me, comfort is most important. My personal style is very casual and effortless. I don’t believe in thinking for an hour about what I am going to wear. I am a shorts-and-tee person. I have shorts in various colours and styles.
Last bought: A pair of high-waisted denim shorts when I was in the US recently.
Make-up mantra: I love nail polish and I have it in all colours, from white to candy shades. Of late, I have started using a lot of mascara.
An actress you admire for her fashion: Kangana Ranaut. Hundred per cent! Experimental, edgy, fearless. I like that about her. She is original in whatever she does.

Shriya Saran
(Walked for Sashikant Naidu)
Everyday style: I have grown up wearing shorts.... Dark blue is the new black. Or, bottle-green or even a bright green. It blends with anything.
Last bought: A sari with gota work from Rajasthan that my mother picked up. When I was somewhere in south India, I picked up this beautiful orange sari with gold booti work.
An actress you admire for her fashion: Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra dress up really well. I actually like Vidya’s (Balan) style too. She knows what suits her and she works around it. Saris look beautiful on her. Indirectly, she has inspired people to go back and buy those pattu saris that people had totally forgotten about. And Angelina Jolie because she can carry a baby and make it look cool!

Kriti Sanon
Everyday style: I prefer being casual, although there are days when I really like dressing up. I love wearing both jeans and T-shirts as well as dresses. A day dress is comfortable. You don’t have to do much. It’s more airy, but in a pair of jeans and T-shirt, you can just be yourself. So, on an everyday basis, it’s jeans and tee.
Make-up mantra: It’s very basic on a daily basis. I like to keep it natural and clean. A simple lip or cheek tint and a little bit of mascara.
Last bought: A pair of heels and a bag.
An actress you admire for her fashion: I really like the way Deepika dresses. It’s not so much about what exactly you are wearing or if you are going out of the box, it is more about how you carry yourself. She does a little bit of everything. I also like the way Sonam (Kapoor) dresses.

Sarah Jane-Dias
Make-up mantra: I am falling more and more in love with the invisible eyeliner, gloss and muted cheeks. I like tinted lip balm because I am wearing make-up all the time and when I am not working, I like something that nourishes and gives me a bit of colour.
Last bought: Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint Sunscreen SPF 15, which is my best friend right now. I love bare minimal… so, invisible eyeliner, lots of mascara, tinted lip balm.
An actress you admire for her fashion: Kangana. I love that she is bold and fearless.

Taapsee Pannu
(Walked for Gaurang)
Style mantra: I have a lot of pinks. Last season it was yellow. And I am not a make-up person, but may be I would just carry a kajal.
An actress you admire for her fashion: I really like the way Deepika dresses. She doesn’t try to go OTT and she doesn’t want to portray herself as the next big fashion icon. She wears everything with so much ease.
