We all know what an unstoppable force our Desi Girl is! From being a former Miss World to a reigning queen of Bollywood, Priyanka Chopra pulled all plugs when she made her big foray in the West and made the global audiences sit up and notice her acting prowess, classic good looks, an enviable charm, wit, and intelligence. As resilient as her demeanor seems, Priyanka Chopra is the daughter of two doctors, Madhu and Ashok Chopra who boosted her confidence right from an early age. Starring in more than 50 films in Bollywood, Priyanka Chopra’s tryst with Hollywood began with recording an album. While she dreamt of becoming an aeronautical engineer, fate certainly had other plans for this diva. Priyanka Chopra relies on her instincts for career and even matters of the heart! Her story is a classic tale of an ultimate transformation from being the typical Desi Girl to an international style icon.
Priyanka Chopra’s apparent lack of style in her formative years with her stint as a former Miss World has often been news and her looks have been panned severely. But turning tables and wooing the same fashion pundits with her 2008 hit, Fashion, Priyanka Chopra achieved what others could only dream of and raced far ahead, leaving her contemporaries to gawk in awe and jealousy. Stunning the world with her out-of-the-box red carpet offerings, Priyanka Chopra’s tryst with fashion has been lapped by the West and a testimony to the same was when she snagged the coveted title of the Sexiest Red Carpet Look by Victoria’s Secrets recently. However, the journey to this seemingly unbelievable feat was not easy and here’s how Priyanka went through a myriad of looks before finding her ultimate style niche.
Modeling Days (2000)
Priyanka Chopra’s pageant win saw her wearing a light pink strapless gown with an ornate choker neckline. Don’t miss the signature plump lips and the locks of hair falling on her eyes, as was the trend back then. A fairly loud makeup makes this throwback picture truly a priceless one. Today, PeeCee’s Instagram selfies are a far cry from these close up images!
Aitraaz (2003)
Turning a seductress with Aitraaz, Priyanka Chopra was widely appreciated for her portrayal of Sonia Roy. Gone were the loud dresses and the garish makeup!
PeeCee opted for sleeker hair and a much better sense of style.
Bluffmaster (2005)
Attuning to the style evolution in the industry, along with being more comfortable with her body, Priyanka Chopra did not shy from showing off that slim midriff wearing a white top and a pair of hot pants, swaying sensually to the song, ‘Right Here Right Now’ from the 2005 movie, Bluffmaster.
Krrish and Don (2006)
Catapulting PeeCee to the A-list category of Bollywood were two movies – Krrish opposite Hrithik Roshan and Don opposite Shah Rukh Khan. While Krrish showed Priyanka Chopra as the cute girl-next-door with some classic western ensembles, Don firmly established Priyanka Chopra’s potential as a screen blazer while looking insanely hot!
Fashion and Dostana (2008)
Armed with a layered hairstyle and a fashion sense that made far better sense, Priyanka’s sense of style in these two films was vastly emulated by teenage girls in India.
The popular song, Desi Girl became synonymous with her as she marched ahead globally making us prouder than ever.

Red Carpet Shenanigans (2013-2017)
Priyanka Chopra turned a rockstar in the West and crooned some hit songs in collaboration with the likes of Pitbull, Will.I.Am and The Chainsmokers. Flying back to India to do a few movies and brand endorsements, Priyanka Chopra’s unmissable dance number, Ram Chahe Leela got the audiences asking for more while her role as Kashibai in Bajirao Mastani won her accolades. But it was her role in Quantico that pushed the boundaries and here’s when she decided to enlist the help of the international fashion stylist, Cristina Ehrlich, for all her red carpet appearances. In 2016, Priyanka ruled the roost by being on international covers, being UNICEF’s global Goodwill Ambassador and her Oscars 2016 dress found a place in the most Googled list of trending searches of 2016. Wearing a white strapless gown by the Lebanese fashion designer Zuhair Murad, Priyanka Chopra’s sheer gown quickly made all the fashion pundits sit up and notice her!

Continuing her tryst with the glamorous red carpet offerings, Priyanka Chopra donned a white Ralph and Russo fitted gown from their Spring 2017 Collection that was replete with deep side plunges making everyone gawk in renewed awe at the Oscars 2017.
Upping the style quotient each time she stepped out, Priyanka Chopra hobnobbed with the who’s who of Hollywood, gracing the front row of the much-awaited New York Fashion Show 2017 and attending the pre and post-Oscars 2017 parties.
