Vote: India's most fashionable moms!

Last updated on: April 7, 2010 15:52 IST

Yesterday, we brought you a poll on the top 10 most fashionable celebrity mothers from across the world. Today, we bring you the most stylish Indian moms -- vote and tell us whether you think they're fashionistas or not!

Sridevi

You've gotta hand it to Sri -- at 46, with two daughters in tow, she's still a picture of beauty. As for her sense of style, she knows just what to wear, managing to pull off skin-tight jeans and saris with a regal flair that's become her trademark. Younger actresses in their tightie-wightie minis still pale in comparison to her timeless appeal.

Mehr Jesia Rampal

Chalk up another victory for the 40-plus club. India's original supermodel still has heads turning when she walks into a room and her bod is still in catwalking shape. Mehr's washboard abs, statuesque form and classy wardrobe are highlighted every time she steps out in public. Even though she's now a doting stay-at-home mom and wife, she has the flashbulbs going into overdrive as much as B-town hunk and hubby Arjun Rampal.

Twinkle Khanna

Her exquisite taste is not limited to her wardrobe -- Twinkle Khanna has channelled it into a successful interior designing career and if her personal style is anything to go by, you can be sure that she's always abreast of the latest trends. The latest haute couture handbags, outfits tailored to the feel of every occasion and natural good looks -- that's Mrs Akshay Kumar for you. And don't forget, she has a feisty little 7-year-old boy to take care of too!

Priya Dutt

Last updated on: April 7, 2010 15:52 IST

In a country where politicians seem to be taken seriously only if they wear dowdy clothes, MP Priya Dutt has no qualms about stepping out in denims when she feels like it. Not surprising, though -- when you're born into Bollywood royalty like Dutt, you're bound to inherit a touch of glam and good taste from your folks. She may be into politics and have two young sons, but her boyish bob and refusal to conform seal her status as a style icon!

Malaika Arora Khan

Move over, JLo! The bootylicious Malaika makes it all look so easy -- bringing up a six-year-old, managing a career, fulfilling her role as a wife and looking fabulous while she juggles it all. She may not be as popular as other actresses, but she could certainly give most of them a tip or two on looking stylish!

Noyonika Chatterjee

One of these days, we're going to corner Noyonika Chatterjee and get her to spill the beans about staying in top shape post motherhood. The model is mother to a 7-year-old tot who has already accompanied her on the runway a few times -- that's one little girl who's sure to score well in the genetics department, but let's hope she inherits mamma's impeccable taste and poise too!

Kirron Kher

Last updated on: April 7, 2010 15:52 IST

She may play the harried, dowdy Punjabi mom to the hilt on screen, but if you haven't noticed Mrs Kher's super stylings outside of reel life, we have no words! Sure, she's 54, but she's always well turned out. Kirron's closetful of saris have a reputation of their own -- add to that her stunning pieces of jewellery and you have a well-balanced winner.

Gauri Khan

Last updated on: April 7, 2010 15:52 IST

King Khan's lovely wife has always chosen to keep away from the limelight, but her fab wardrobe has been creating a stir in the media for a few years now. Kitted out in the latest offerings from labels like Dior, Prada and Hermes, Gauri gets it right every time -- and she's even stated in interviews that her son always has the final word when it comes to her clothes!

Neetu Kapoor

Last updated on: April 7, 2010 15:52 IST

It's a well-known fact that Ranbir Kapoor is a mamma's boy and with the charm she exudes, that's not suprising. Neetu Kapoor gave up an acting career at the height of her fame to look after her family, but she's still got the glam factor going with her incredible looks and elegant sense of fashion. Anyone could take lessons on how to age gracefully from her!

Ujjwala Raut

Last updated on: April 7, 2010 15:52 IST

One of the few Indians to have found a footing on the international fashion platform, Ujjwala managed to hang onto her supermodel tag even after the birth of her daughter four years ago. Time and a pregnancy seem to have had no effect on the stunner, who continues to shine both on and off catwalks across the world.

Karisma Kapoor

Last updated on: April 7, 2010 15:52 IST

Following in the footsteps of aunt Neetu we have pretty mamma Karisma Kapoor, who gave birth to a bonny baby boy, her second child, only last month. Having taken a hiatus from acting to focus on her family, Lolo is fiercely private about her life, but photographs of her looking chic as ever continue to surface in the media. Let your clothes do the talking -- that seems to be her motto!

Nirupama Rao

Last updated on: April 7, 2010 15:52 IST

And finally, we have Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao. If you're a fan of ethnicwear, you'll love this elegant lady's wardrobe -- stunning drape after stunning drape emerges out of a seemingly endless stock at official functions! Wonder if she'd give us a sneak peek into her closet?
