Desi girls: Actresses who rock in Patialas

Kareena Kapoor-Khan looks oh-so stunning in a bright red Patiala in the song ‘Tooh’ from her upcoming movie ‘Gori Tere Pyaar Mein’. Her luminous skin is perfectly complimented by the vibrant shade in the sexy number. There’s something very desi and sensuous about the Patiala suit, which looks great on an Indian figure, thanks to our generous curves. Kareena, being the full fledged Punjabi that she is, carries off this outfit well. We have seen her sport colourful Patialas in ‘Jab We Met’ and ‘Bodyguard’ and she has looked amazing in them. Her current look is already becoming a favourite with the ladies. As we wait for the trend to catch up on, we take a look at other actresses who rock in Patialas. Read on.

Anushka Sharma:
The wide-pants look works best on skinny women as it gives them a curvaceous feel. When the leggy Anushka Sharma wore a beautiful blue and red Patiala suit in the song ‘Aiynvi Aiynvi’ from ‘Band Baja Baraat’, the nation went crazy for her outfit. Wedding circles were full of replicas of her solid-coloured kurti and she became a diva overnight. She wears a lot of sunny and feel-good colours in the movie, but this is one look she absolutely rocks in. A lot of credit goes to her milky-white complexion too.

Kangan Ranaut:
She wears the chunni as a pagdi and dances like a boy in the song ‘Saddi Galli’ from the movie ‘Tanu Weds Manu’. Her maroon Patiala suit looks perfect for a sangeet and Kangna looks pretty swaying to traditional dhols in the song. This suit also became a rage at sangeets and weddings. Kangna, who isn’t known for her sartorial choices, came out tops in this sizzling outfit. If she were a teeny bit taller, she would have totally aced it. But, well, never mind.

Huma Qureshi:
A bit on the plump side, this typical Indian outfit looks great on her. It accentuates her curves the best by adding the right amount of tadka to her look. In a maharani pink Patiala, Huma looks every bit a true Punjaban in the movie ‘Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana’. Complete with matching parandis, jhumkas and bangles, she is a head-turner for sure. It definitely is an advantage to have an Indian face that can carry off desi outfits with ease.

Sonakshi Sinha:
Perhaps the only outfit that looks good on this voluptuous beauty is the good old Patiala. Her very Indian features and curves make her the brand ambassador of sexy suits for sure. In the movie ‘Son of Sardar’, the feisty girl wears a string of colourful Patialas, but our favourite is a red one that she accessorizes with maang tika, jhumkas , nose pin and a parandi. Love. It. Wish she experimented a more, but we have no complaints from this look.
