From ‘Gangster’ to ‘Rangoon’, here’s how Kangana Ranaut’s style game has evolved with time

The moment we try to go back in time and think about Kangana Ranaut, our mind gets scarred with those images of hideous plunging necklines, dialogues with that peculiar accent and those eyebrows tweezed into near oblivion (What was she thinking?). It’s hard to imagine how this bold spirited girl with such a pretty face could look… well, awkward and out of place (we are not hinting at nepotism).

This small-town girl turned diva has certainly come a long way and makes jaws drop every time she walks the red carpet now. (Also read: Love bomber jackets? Here are 5 styles to steal from Bollywood)

Let’s take a look at her journey in Bollywood and style evolution over the years!

2007

Arrgh! That super filmy red saree from the 1990s and that unflattering black top. Are we judging her too much? Come on, the girl was only 19.

2009

What could possibly be brighter than that yellow dress? And what’s that ribbon around her neck for? These looks are giving us goosebumps.

2010

One can either go wrong with the outfit, the chappals, the hair or the bag. How did the lady manage to get it all wrong? Probably, she was in a phase where she knew she had to look better but didn’t know how.

2012

By this time, Kangana had absorbed the Bollywood vibe and seemed like ‘almost there’. She had got an edge over her contemporaries with her hit ‘Tanu Weds Manu’. It was more like the transformation of Mia in the movie ‘Princess Diaries’ – from unkempt curly hair, ill-fitted dresses to a graceful, womanly princess. Oh, that voluminous black dress with a pearl necklace or the Burberry gown! Something had drastically changed about her by now.

2013

OMG! Finally, she had got it right and started flaunting her individual style (and a lot more). Whether it was androgynous, Gothic, traditional, feminine, modern or Bohemian – she had donned all the looks with élan! It was an era of well-defined waists, cool handbags, and hot pumps. She had quite literally become the futuristic Kaya of ‘Krrish 3’!

2014

The ‘Queen’ had arrived. The blockbuster movie transformed her, both personally and professionally. She had started looking more comfortable and confident in her skin now. She won the national award and walked the red carpet with pomp.

2016

The actress played one of the strongest characters of her life: Julia’s character in ‘Rangoon’. In spite of her roller coaster personal life, she put on that confident smile and rocked the fashion world. Her strands of pearls, hairstyles, sunglasses, and sharp-cut dresses made us all swoon.

In the last few months, the actress has been sporting some of her best looks so far. She’s proved time and again that brand ‘Kangana Ranaut’ is all about the surprise element.
