Style icon: Shilpa Shetty

Famous now mainly for her eye smarting, meteor size diamonds and her statement high-end bags, Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty was once a fashion icon because of her hour-glass figure and her crisply tailored suits and dresses.

One of the luckiest women to have been kissed by Richard Gere, Shetty has always stayed at the eastern yet sultry side of fashion as one sees her sporting daringly gorgeous saris on many public events.  For the last six to seven months the actor-cum-entrepreneur was playing cover up because of her pregnancy. But now that her son has come into the world, Shetty will hopefully resuscitate her fashion sense and satiate our hunger for what’s in vogue with her wardrobe delicacies. From dangerously backless saris, to full-sleeved jamawar peshwas and pyjamas, the actor has tried it all. And it’s not just the traditional side of fashion she excels in.  She has been spotted in body hugging dresses, satin blouses along with her statement Louis Vuitton bags at many airports with her unapologetically affluent husband Raj Kundra right by her side.
