Looking sexy in gowns

Gowns can be unforgiving. Not many can carry them off. Hollywood may not find too much difficulty in this area, but not all their Bollywood counterparts are as lucky.

Until now. With fitness catching on fast, many of our desi beauties can show off their curves without sucking in their stomachs. Here are some of the women who look absolutely sexy in gowns

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The former Miss World looks stunning in this form-fitting black gown which tapers off in ruffles.

Deepika Padukone

It certainly helps being a model! Om Shanti Om's Deepika carries off this white gown with ease, thanks to her tall and slim frame.

Kangana Ranaut

Slim to the point of looking anorexic, Kangana looks good in western outfits. No wonder filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar chose the actress for his new film, Fashion, which will showcase the glitz and glamour of the ramp.

Bipasha Basu

Wearing a gown is a piece of cake for this former model. Incidentally, her latest film, Race, saw her play a model.

Shilpa Shetty

The actress has come a long way since her debut film, Baazigar. Back then, her dress sense was outrageous. A few years and yoga sessions later, she could give Halle Berry a run for her money.

Katrina Kaif

This stunning actress can make any outfit look glamorous!

Geeta Basra

The Train actress may not have a hot career at hand but she definitely looks hot in a gown.

Tabu

Who thought Tabu could carry off a gown so stunningly? A refreshing change from the saris she loves to wrap herself in.

Mallika Sherawat

Okay, this may tilt towards the tacky side. But then if you have it, why not flaunt it!

Preity Zinta

When in doubt, choose black. This slimming colour makes Preity look delicate.
