By Simi Kuriakose Updated October 08, 2015

Who can fault a star who puts together great ensembles and manages to look effortlessly glamorous every single time? Scout through Bollywood, and all roads are bound to lead to Kangana Ranaut. This beauty owns each of her looks with admirable ease. With a style evolution that’s nothing short of remarkable, Kangana wows us time and again with her sartorial choices, giving us looks that are etched in every fashion observer’s memory (not to forget some serious style envy). High street brands or designer labels, channeling the girl next door or Freida Kahlo, the no-make-up look or going Gaga-esque crazy, she always comes up aces. Here are 35 reasons why we’re in love with this fashion chameleon.

Channelling Classic, Ladylike Style

Kangana reminds us that a classic look never fails to make you a headturner. Be it a well-tailored suit, a princessy gown or a structured sheath dress, she has successfully impressed us more than once.

Not to forget the accessories: she’s sported sneakers, stylish sunnies, and even worked the nerdy girl look with panache.
