From the neurotic gangster’s girlfriend to the bride who was left at the altar, actress Kangana Ranaut has come a long way. Along with evolving roles, her fashion sense has evolved too, turning her into quite the fashionista. With a fondness for designer names, fluid and elegant clothing, she considers Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe as her idols. She often channels her inner Audrey or Marilyn with a twist. Her well-sculpted body, untamed curls and oodles of confidence helps her carry her own edgy and fluid style with ease.

Here are six reasons why Kangana is a true fashion icon.

Bold and Edgy

Kangana’s bold and edgy style separates her from her contemporaries and she is slowly taking over the self-proclaimed fashionista Sonam Kapoor. She is not the one to shy away from wearing sheer clothing or sporting bold cuts and the actress has worn these looks with oomph and panache.

Burning the Red Carpet

Her red carpet attire ensemble is sometimes understated and sometimes edgy, but always elegant.  Whether wearing a simple blue Dolce and Gabbana dress for the queen success party or sheer dress toan event, she always manages to get the heads rolling. All her experiments with make-up and fashion are reserved for the red-carpet and on more occasions than one, she manages to get the look right.

Separate But Together:

Separates have been quite the rage, with most actresses sporting this look at many do’s. However, none of them have been able to rock the look as well as Kangana. Kangana sets herself apart from the rest by giving this style her own unique twist, bringing the separates together.

Channeling Her Inner Fashion Diva

American Actress Audrey Hepburn is her idol and on many occasions, she has channeled her inner Audrey to make a style statement. For her birthday, Kangana wore a beautiful white short with pearl and an elegant dress in the typical Audrey Hepburn style. The flared dress accompanied with pearls and winged tipped eyes made the actress look absolutely lovely.

Accessorize Right

Accessories can be your best friend when trying to up the fashion quotient of your outfit and Kangana has managed to rock the accessorized look. Belts, sling bags, rounded framed glasses (think Revolver Rani) - she loves to experiment with her accessories and seems to enjoy giving her outfits a twist.

To channel your inner Kangana, you need to have oodles of confidence to rock those edgy and quirky style statements. Whether you are channeling your favourite fashionista or trying to emulate the latest fashion trends, remember to wear it with confidence.
