Celebrate women and their fashion... Happy Women's Day

It's 8th March... Women's day! This is the day for us women to celebrate our achievements and successes and for our man to make us feel special ;). Women are the most special among living beings, may be that's the reason we have 'The Day'. We have a whole list of women achievers whom I would term as 'Legendary Women'. Generations speak for women who made it big and who we remember till date. Their style, beauty, grace, achievements and successes are admired by one and all.

On Women's Day,I would love to talk about women who made a mark on us for their sense of style, fashion, beauty, attitude, glamour and grace.

Legendary Women
Queen of Egypt- Cleopatra




The magnificent beauty- Cleopatra wore fashion girls would still love to wear. The grace and charm of the olive lady was stunning, bold and impressive. Her fashion included linen gowns, straight kaftan, shifts, kilts and chunky jewellery and accessories. She mostly presented herself in long gowns and short dresses with no sleeves absolutely. With an hourglass figure, long legs and bold attitude, the lady carried off bikini tops and long silhouette bottoms with exceptional grace.

Her gold jewellery was mainly embellished with beads and precious stones. Sandals were adorned with jewels and beads and were made of raw bamboo.






She wore beaded collars on bikini tops that were very chunky and quite heavy in weight. She covered herself with multitude of jewellery and minimal silhouettes. Her impeccable style was a head turner for many a men in the ancient times and I am sure even today any man would adore a women like Cleopatra.

I am sure many women, including you and me want to wear her fashion. Well.... I have a few jewellery that I think could possibly explore Cleopatra's ancient fashion,style and glamour.

This chunky neck piece by Dior reminds me of the hard metal neck pieces that were worn by Cleopatra. It's style exactly replicates that of her's and the present day woman can wear it with an LBD or an evening gown.

Make a statement with this collar by Gucci. It's made of gold and it's style is very ancient and unique. It's understated bling makes it wearable to work. One can wear it with tube tops and dresses for ultra glamour.




This ring,pair of earrings and hand cuff by Louis Vuitton draw their inspiration from Cleopatra's jewellery. The ring and cuff is studded with red ruby that reminds us of the regal jewels of her era. The pair of sharply crafted earrings look just like stolen from Cleopatra's jewellery collection. Wow!!!

Angry young woman- Indira Gandhi


Known as Ironlady of India, she was strong, witty and unbelievably intelligent. Apart from being successful and a high achiever, she was graceful and stylish and very simple. Her sense of style and fashion exactly brought out the kind of lady she was. Her simple cotton sarees made her look effortlessly elegant. All she wore in addition was a simple gold chain or beaded necklace and earrings. Her skin was white as milk, spotless and well-maintained. Her short hair with a natural streak of white brought front her fearless and bold personality. Sophisticated and classy would be two words I would use to describe the beauty- Indira Gandhi.






Like you can see in these photographs, her fashion is simple, understated yet sophisticated. A blouse and a cotton saree simply worn yet it stands out on her magnificently. Charming and adorable, all she has added is a gold chain, beaded necklace and a coral shade of lipstick. Also, she was one women who made a bold style statement by mixing and matching blouses with sarees.

It's very difficult for one to replicate her style but I would still try out a few options that could nearly look like her fashion.


I found this saree on tradeindia.com. A simple cotton saree if worn in grace with a simple elegant blouse could look like one of Indira Gandhi's sarees.


This pearl watch by Azra jewels and more is quite an elegant piece. It's subtle charm and elegant look reminds me of the arm candy on Mrs. Gandhi's delicate wrists.


This beaded necklace by Ginger at Lifestyle is just like the one she has worn in her black and white picture above.
Very feminine and bold, this necklace by Splash available at Lifestyle brings out her personality.

Diva Glam- Kareena Kapoor


She's every man's fantasy, the style icon, her skin is every girls envy, her fashion splendid and  her never ending charm makes her the woman of today! She carries herself effortlessly and looks just stunning in all the outfits she gets in. Everything she wears become fashion, she is bold and outgoing, she is the modern day woman. Gowns, short-dresses, kurtas and sarees, all of them are just crafted for her. From the olden day mix and match to the current colour blocking trend, her sense of style and fashion is truly remarkable.



Look at her! An outfit so simple becomes so stunning on her! Without any accessories, the diva has taken the outfit to another level. Her professionaly done make up brings out her perfect facial features. everything about her is so oomph and ravishing!




This look of her's is so English. The queen like dress is actually making her look like one. the colour, nude make up and stunning neck piece is only adding to her beauty. She can certainly carry off any look with grace and style.



If it's a bold look, it's Kareena. No other beauty can carry it off with such a bolder feminine touch. She's wearing Prada here and the black is just making her look stunning or she's making the black look stunning! Ummm...... may be the latter...



Oh my my... Just look at the Goddess! The colours are just making her look completely out of the ordinary.
