Nothing wrong with western influence: Sonam Kapoor

While the Indian youth faces criticism for aping the west, young actress Sonam Kapoor says she finds nothing wrong with it as good values are "universal".

"Values are usually universal...good values are universal. The west in not a devil coming to change our minds about certain things. Yes, we have amazing values in India which we should be very proud of.

Sonam, considered to be a style icon for the youths, feels India has a great future because of the young population in the country.

"India is predominantly a youthful nation. When you are younger, you are more idealistic and you want to strive for a better future for ourselves. I think we have an amazing future because we are such a young nation," she said..

Whether she's boarding a plane, launching a product, promoting a movie, gracing the red carpet, rocking a photo shoot or serenading the silver screen, Deepika Padukone embodies an inbuilt style.

And in the last few years, the Om Shanti Om star's wardrobe choices have just gotten slicker and smarter. Having one of the hottest bodies in the business, along with an ethereal face, only adds to her clothes horse appeal.

Deepika Padukone fashion Style Trends

Model-turned-actress Deepika Padukone doesn't follow fashion trends and wears whatever she is comfortable in.

"I don't believe in following trends just for the heck of it. I believe in wearing something I think suits my personality and my body type. My style has evolved over the years. For
me, it's about being stylish and at the same time being comfortable wearing my personality, that's what I always believe in."

Meanwhile, the actress is gearing up for the release of her new film Desi Boyz, which also stars Akshay Kumar, John Abraham and Chitrangada Singh.

Kareena Kapoor Style Inspiration: Heavy Metal

All that glitters is not gold, but it is definitely Bollywood. The leading ladies love sparkle and for a good reason too. Seen on the runways of Namrata Joshipura, Dolce & Gabbaa and Manish Arora; sequins and shine are back, bigger and better.

Always on top of a trend, Kareena Kapoor wore a long metallic gown for the red carpet. Take a cue from her and opt for a fully sequined dress for your next big party night. If going all-out with bling is not your style, opt for something subtler like Sonam Kapoor’s shimmery ensemble. We also like how Shraddha Kapoor and Sophie Choudhary have toned down the look with just a touch of embellishment or metal on their outfits.

Borrow inspiration from these B-town trend-spotters and stock up on some glitter for the upcoming party season.

Kangna questions Bollywood's fashion sense!

Day 3 of Wills India Fashion Week saw quite a few surprises along with a few dampeners, but the presence of Bollywood starlet Kangna Ranaut, pretty much made up for the lack of oomph in the terms the designs showcased during the day.

Kangna, who walked the ramp for designer Shantanu Goenka at the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, seemed very appreciative of Shantanu's collection and appeared really kicked about her dress for the evening- a golden-white gown. "The gown is complementing my complexion and I'm loving it," said the actress.

The actress also said that she's been following Shantanu's designs for quite sometime now and thinks his designs have an edge over others. But, the pretty damsel didn't quite end it here, she ensured that she provided enough fodder for people to talk about even post her departure from the venue. Yeah, she touched upon people's favourite topic- Bollywood fashion. Answering a question on the same, the actress said, "I don't want to hurt anyone, but I think that style quotient is seriously missing from Bollywood and guess it's only Priyanka and Sonam, who know how to carry themselves well."

When probed about how much she liked walking on the ramp, Kangna said that she was never uncomfortable while walking the ramp, thanks to her flicks- Fashion and Raaz 2, which gave her a chance to hone her modelling skills.

Shantanu's collection for the evening, was inspired by the French queen Marie Barrios and drew its inspiration from the chateau of Versailles in France. The designer was able to beautifully capture the magnificence of the palaces with his over the top baroque detailing and architecture.

The collection comprised of stunning structured corsets, engineered drape gowns with scooped necklines and feminine frills. The colour rich palette included vintage pinks, creamy whites, teals and jam reds.

An ambiance, complete with a Victorian palace like gate, lush green gardens with cemented stones and British classic music was enough to set the tempo of the show, but Shantanu, in a way concentrated more on couture like garments in his latest collection and there was less of a pret feel to the entire range.
