You'll always find that petite Bollywood starlet Celina Jaitley is well turned out. Whether it's a casual gig or a formal do, she's always dressed to stand apart in a crowd -- in a good way, of course. She picks clothing that suits her frame, like those denim hotpants on the left and the form-fitting rouched dress on the right.

Accessorise the right way

Singer Rihanna is a fashion chameleon, always suprising people -- pleasantly, for the most part -- in wildly different looks and hairstyles. But there's one staple she hangs on to -- dangling hoop earrings. They can set off any outfit under the sun.

The ethnic angle

If it's ethnicwear that suits you, don't be pressured into jumping on the Westernwear bandwagon. Actress Vidya Balan's sense of style has been severely panned in the past, but she's upped the ante now without giving up on what she loves best -- salwars and saris.

Go the sophisticated route

America's First Lady is also considered fashion royalty and it's plain to see why -- if you want to go the sophisticated route, Michelle Obama is the perfect role model. Her outfit of choice? Below-the-knee straight cut dresses -- and they're sometimes teamed with a little cardigan for effect.

Haute handbags

You could be wearing a tee and jeans, but a classy handbag will weigh in on your overall appearance like no other accessory. Take your que from Twinkle Khanna -- her handbags always rate high up on the classy scale.
