From worst-dressed to sartorial icon: Parineeti Chopra's come a long way

From worst-dressed to sartorial icon: Parineeti Chopra's come a long way

When you think Parineeti Chopra, fashionable is far from the first word that comes to mind...until now.
28 Oct, 2015

We're just going to say it: Parineeti Chopra was fashion roadkill when she entered the industry with Ladies vs Ricky Bahl. The frumpy clothes, the OTT make-up -- it was almost painful to watch.

Yikes! Chopra's make-up (L) makes her look like a mime

Four years later, Parineeti has evolved fashionably. We can't help but be amazed at how the young star has transformed herself; everything from her clothing to accessories, right down to her physique has changed. Even as she shed those pounds, she hasn't succumbed to being a size zero and has managed to retain her real girl image.

Here's some style inspiration from the leading lady:

The lady in red debuted her lean figure and cheekbones in this one-shoulder Gaurav Gupta gown at the IIFA Awards this year.

Because one collage wasn't enough ;) #IIFA @theanisha

Granted, it's hard to go wrong in Manish Malhotra but styling is also key -- we love the way Chopra's done her hair and that Jimmy Choo clutch!

And another Malhotra masterpiece.

TODAY! In my favvvvvvv @manishmalhotra05 outfit!!! #NewYork #IndiaDayParade @theanisha @marianna_mukuchyan

An Arpita Mehta gold embellished crop top reveals just the right amount of midriff to show that Chopra has become fitter than before.

This body-hugging crop top and acid-washed River Island pencil skirt take that thought full circle; the Kill Dil leading lady posed for the cover of Women's Health and gave us some serious fitness goals.

One of my favourite shoots!!!! #womenshealth @rohanshrestha @namratasoni

It's not just about her outfits though. Even her hair and accessories are on point!

And she lived happily ever after. #Dior #GoodHairDay #TooExcitedButTryingToPlayItCool

She cleans up good but at heart, she's a t-shirtt and sneakers kinda gal.

She knows that sometimes you just have to go back to the basics.

However, that doesn't mean she's afraid to take risks.

The new and improved Parineeti is hitting all the right notes; she's no Sonam Kapoor but she's definitely heading in the right direction!

Love Parineeti Chopra (Cousin of Priyanka Chopra). Parineeti is not just beautiful, she is one of the most talented actress in Bollywood. These are her must watch movies and i guarantee you will also become a fan of her! My top favorites in ranking ---1. Ishaqzaade, 2. Daawat-e-Ishq , 3. Ladies vs. Vicky Bahl
