The memory of chopra stayed with me

I first saw Priyanka Chopra at the Holiday Inn in Pune. She was freshly minted from the Miss India contest, en route to the Miss World pageant where she would win the crown. I recall the distinctly disciplined girl with the best pout this side of Angelina Jolie. And when she spoke, her wonderful voice was so low-toned, it hovered between a husky whisper and a mating call.

That day I flew back to Bombay, unable to do the show for personal reasons; leaving the reins to another beauty… Shyamolie Verma. The memory of Chopra stayed with me… and resurfaced when I walked on the sets on Madhur Bhandarkar’s FASHION for a walk-on cameo playing myself at a fashion show. Priyanka recalled nothing of the Pune incident but she was warm, friendly and shared the lunch Madhur Bhandarkar’s wife sent to the set.

Like all actresses I know, I was struck by the patience and professionalism stars possess when doing a movie. Priyanka was no exception. With the Miss World sash behind her and a couple of films to her credit, the girl I met in Pune had now become a star. Her role in FASHION would seal her repute as an actress when she walked away with Best Actress that year. Many golden awards followed.

What is it that makes Priyanka a Red Carpet queen?

Too many qualities to list here. Apart from her stellar good looks, always perfect make-up, well thought of accessories, fashion sense and inborn elegance coupled with mega oomph, Priyanka knows what it is to be star quality. All on her own. She does not need arm candy nor fellow star support as she poses alone and supreme on the catwalk or red carpet. She is solely in the spotlight surrounded by a caterpillar of flashbulbs that adoringly follow her sexy swagger.

Does not need the ‘it’ bag

Here is an actress who is no bag lady. Look at the photos to prove it. She does not need the ‘it’ bag that most women wear like a badge…or crutch! Admirable for a lady. What? No bag? There must be a mistake. But it’s true. A lesson all women can learn from. You do not need the Prada, Gucci, Dior, Chanel bag. All you need is Priyanka’s confidence.

Can swing a dress in style

And those legs. Whether in a micro mini or demure calf length dress, Priyanka can swing a dress in style. Her affinity for pointed shoes and ankle boots is a lesson in class, no chunky clogs needed for our fashion icon. Just sleek, slim, superb, elegant heels point the way to the red carpet.

Colour Wise

The colour palette reigning for Priyanka is black, white, denim and brights. Bright as in jewel brights. Very few pastels make the scene. When they do, they are for Indian garments. One should excuse the occasionally overly bling saris.

No one-headlight drape

Chopra is one of the few actresses who drapes her sari with old world elegance. Not the new trend of the one headlight drape, showing off one breast. Nah! Leave that to the item girl wannabes. For Chopra’s abs, even a sheer drape sari is worn the proper old fashioned way. That’s why we love her.

Other important lessons…

What else can we earn from the no-bag, hands-free Priyanka? Show off the well-toned arms with an occasional cuff, bangles or watch. Keep the hair glam: whether coifed, swept upward, tousled long ‘fat hair’ locks or swept to one side. Even reading glasses can be a la mode when coupled with subtle, sensual clothing. Lastly, wear all styles and silhouettes. Experiment and play with fashion. Enjoy its many facets. Luxuriate in it from a jeans and cropped top to a gold embroidered peplum on a black strapless gown.Read more at:uk prom dresses 2014
