19. TOP 10 INDIAN
STYLISTS

20. RHEA KAPOOR
 Celebrity clients: Sonam
Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor
 It’s all in the family for Rhea
Kapoor. Now we all know that
Sonam Kapoor is Bollywood’s
original fashionista, but her
little sister Rhea has a lot to
do with her perfect 10 looks.
The younger Ms Kapoor
makes sure that her big
sister’s looks are always
newsworthy.
 As for Arjun Kapoor, sister
Rhea dresses him in well-cut
blazers, natty suits and a
whole lot of Burberry!

21. ANAITA SHROFF ADAJANIA
 Celebrity client: Deepika
Padukone
 Vogue’s Fashion Director
has a penchant for turning
girls-next-door into a high-
octane glamazons.
 Case in point: Deepika
Padukone, Bollywood’s
reigning high priestess of
fashion. No one can fault
Padukone’s sartorial turn
(for the better, of course)
post Cocktail, as her super
stylist has been churning out
one winning look after
another.

22. TANYA GHAVRI
 Celebrity clients: Kareena
Kapoor, Frieda Pinto,
Jacqueline Fernandez,
Karisma Kapoor, Katrina
Kaif, Alia Bhatt, Shraddha
Kapoor
 Tanya Ghavri’s client roster
reads like the guest list of an
A-list Bollywood party
 The thing that stands out in
Ghavri’s styling is that she
never puts her celebrity into
anything that’s evidently out
of their comfort zone or
uncharacteristic of their style
sensibility. But that’s not to
say that she doesn’t keep
things interesting. So while
she’ll dress Katrina Kaif in
her trusty sheath dresses,

23. NITASHA GAURAV
 Celebrity clients: Ranveer
Singh, Parineeti Chopra,
Tabu, Arjun Kapoor,
Siddharth Malhotra,
Shahid Kapoor
 Ex-Femina Fashion Editor
and now freelance stylist,
Nitasha Gauarv isn’t afraid
to push the envelope with
the stars she styles. Well,
Ranveer Singh! Who would
have thought that one will
ever get to see a Bollywood
actor actually pull off a gold
brocade blazer or draped
pants with a printed shirt
andkolhapuris with effortless
nonchalance.

24. NISHA KUNDNANI
 Celebrity clients: Shraddha
Kapoor, Divya Khosla,
Anushka Sharma
 Nisha Kundnani’s own style is
known to be pretty fuss-free
and minimal.
 She’s the lady who was
responsible for Shraddha
Kapoor’s latest media
blitzkrieg during her recent
movie promotions. Easy chic,
like we said.
 Ditto for Anushka Sharma.
Kundnani proves that in a
sea of celebrities trying very
hard to stand out, there is still
ample virtue in simplicity.

25. AMI PATEL
 Celebrity clients:
Priyanka Chopra, Ileana
D’Cruz, Tamannah, Lara
Datta, Madhuri Dixit
 Ami Patel has seen
actress-cum-popstar
Priyanka Chopra
transition from all things
bodycon to more fashion-
friendly, experimental
silhouettes.
 Patel strikes an
interesting balance
between trendy elements
and classic touches with
her styling.

26. AASTHA SHARMA AND MOHIT
RAI
 Celebrity clients: Esha
Gupta, Vaani Kapoor,
Jacqueline Fernandez,
Chitrangada Singh, Genelia
D’Souza
 Together known as the
Wardrobist, this duo wins
brownie points for favouring
Indian designers quite
heavily. And considering they
are both former Harper’s
Bazaar stylists
 Take Esha Gupta’s recent
appearances for instance —
we spotted a whole lot of
Pankaj & Nidhi, Hemant &
Nandita, Pernia Qureshi,
Nishka Lulla, Nikhil Thampi,
Quirkbox and the works.
Kudos to that indeed!

27. SANJANA BATRA
 Celebrity clients: Yami
Gautam, Alia Bhatt,
Huma Qureshi, Kiara
Advani, Esha Gupta
 Considering she’s stylist
to a host of young stars,
Sanjana Batra’s styling is
fresh, spruced with of-
the-moment trends and
fads. Her sensibility can
be summed up as
easygoing, classic and
safe but by no means
boring. Batra seems to
have an affinity for well-
fitted midi cuts and solid
colours.

28. ARCHANA WALWALKAR
 Celebrity clients: Alia
Bhatt, Varun Dhawan
 Co-founder of styling
portal Style Cracker and
ex-Vogue stylist, Archana
Walwalkar is a purveyor
of all things trendy, with a
generous helping of
unrehearsed sexy. Varun
Dhawan and Alia Bhatt’s
supremely cool looks
during their recent movie
promotions are testimony
to her styling chops.

29. ALLIA AL RUFAI
 Celebrity clients: Nargis
Fakhri, Kangana Ranaut,
Anushka Sharma
 If you follow this Ex-Harper’s
Bazaar stylist on Instagram
you’re probably already aware
that Allia Al Rufai is something
of a stylista herself, the kind
who looks like she just
stepped out of a magazine
editorial. Every day. It’s no
wonder then that being a
stylist du jour comes pretty
naturally to this sophisticated
and incredibly chic fashion
girl. She’s the brain behind
Nargis Fakhri’s oh-so-hot
looks!
