A
diva is easily spotted amongst the others. You can’t really tell what
it is about them but the aura just spells it out! In Bollywood, fashion
is followed through the seasons yet the Divas are spotted for their own
trendsetting and mesmerising traits. Lets discuss how to get Bollywood
Diva Style in 5 easy steps!
1) Natural Make-Up
Natural Make-Up
Be it
Kareena Kapoor or
Katrina Kaif and
Ek Tha Tiger,
both look breathtakingly beautiful in their own skin and the make-up
has been kept minimal. The key here is use only as much make-up as you
need to even out your skin tone and conceal any blemishes or marks that
may be there. That’s it!
One can use a concealer below and above the eyes to hide those dark
circles, blend in a good foundation through the face and neck to even
out the skin tone, finish with a little loose powder. A natural rose,
pink or rust colored blush as per your skin tone on your cheek bones,
nose, chin will give you that pinched look. A little kohl and mascara to
enhance the natural beauty of the eyes and nude or pale link lipstick
touched up with transparent gloss will finish the look.
2) Black Tresses
Black Tresses
Colored and highlights while now in vogue was never part of the natural look of our divas in the year gone by.
Be it our very favourite
Sushmita Sen, Rekha, Sridevi or the current reigning queens
Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, Diana Penty
all have opted for natural looking jet-black tresses. Again the idea is
to look as natural as possible. So value your beautiful black hair and
work on enhancing its quality rather than letting the highlights take
over!
3) Fitness
Fitness
While it has been argued a gazillion times that the contemporary
Indian heroine needs to retain some of her curves in order to appear
sensual, the fact of the matter is our listed Divas are fit (read fit,
not size zero) and gorgeous!
Can you imaging a flabby Rekha or Sushmita?! Deepika, Anushka,
Kareena have beautiful bodies and they work religiously on maintaining
them. Being fit and having a toned body gives you that confidence that
will help you bring out the diva in you! So start working out and watch
that calorie intake – there is no short cut! ;)
4) What to wear/accessorize
Clothes & Accessories
Trends come and go, feel free to pick what works for you. As long as
you follow the 3 rules mentioned above, the outfit you adorn will only
add to your persona beautifully. The fit of a garment, the colors, and
occasion need to be kept in mind while choosing what you wear. Our divas
have worn everything from gowns to sequined dresses to formal blazers
to
Anarkalis to strappy tees and ripped jeans and managed to
retain their aura and charisma in whatever they wear. You have got to
stick to comfort and personal style and the rest will fall into place!
As far as accessories go, again to each his own and remember- keep it
minimal. If you notice your favourite list of gorgeous Bollywood women,
the accessories are limited to oversized bags, sunglasses and shoes in a
casual setting and statement earrings and clutches in a more evening
cocktail look.
5) Confidence
Confidence
There is no substitute for this one! Wear your look, strut your
stuff, dazzle in that beautiful smile ALL with confidence. A diva knows
who she is and what she is worth. She needs no reassurance. Be it in the
gym, or in pajamas or in the most glamorous cocktail dress- SHE is
spotted easily because of her confidence, poise and the ease with which
she presents herself. So remember to wear the right attitude and
everything else will just fall into place!
