Priyanka Chopra World

A lot of thought went into the styling of actress Priyanka Chopra in Madhur Bhandarkar’s upcoming film Fashion .

Priyanka’s character in the film is that of a small-town girl who comes to Mumbai to become a supermodel. Her character undergoes change from a gaudily dressed girl from Chandigarh to a budding model with a sophisticated fashion sense. Then, her character goes through personal crisis. For these sequences, she was given a neglected look. And finally, she overcomes her demons and emerges a supermodel.

Rita Dhody, Priyanka’s stylist in the film gave her as many as five different looks in keeping with the character throughout the course of the story.

"Initially, she (Priyanka) is shown as a very hep character with loud colours - everything is matching in her attire from the lipstick to nail polish to even her shoes. It's a very look-at-me look," Rita is quoted by a news agency.

"But when the first change occurs, the colour palette begins to change. Her make-up becomes light. Then, when she becomes a model and a supermodel, the contrasting change is very visible. When she starts losing it all, she becomes very edgy - everything from the colour palette to the make-up becomes softer to show she doesn't care any more about her looks before her resurrection takes place," says the stylist.

Rita, however, goes on to add that the changes in the styling of Priyanka’s character have been done in a seamless, subtle manner.

‘Fashion’ is Madhur Bhandarkar ’s attempt to expose the hidden face of the fashion industry. The movie also stars Kangana Ranaut , Mugdha Godse , Arjan Bajwa , Arbaaz Khan and Kitu Gidwani.

The film is set to release on October 29.
