Fashion check – Women Politicians of India

Less often, fashion creeps into politics, thanks to the women candidates and ministers who now call the shots in the Country.

Interestingly, the style quotient has zinged up in the recent times, especially this Lok Sabha Elections 2104, where more and more women celebrities from Indian Cinema are contesting from different constituencies, lending support to their respective parties.

Let us take a look at the fashion statements made by these lady politicians

Hailing from the iconic Nehru Parivaar, Priyanka sets her own fashion trends. She is the first one to sport a classy European short hairstyle coupled with crisp cotton sarees and plain blouses. Priyanka’s fair complexion, grace and charisma simply stand out even in the plainest of clothes. Ms Gandhi also goes Western in style with white shirts, black trousers and leather belts if she feels like, to create a stir in the parliament.

The dream girl of Indian Cinema is currently jazzing things up standing as a BJP candidate from Meerut constituency. Hema is known for her impeccable sense of style. She has just turned around the normal cotton saree dress code with a classy twist of thin gold borders and bright colours. Her yellow saree with lacy design and golden border worn at a recent campaign said it all. She is definitely a timeless Diva.

The lady of Bollywood known for her heavy duty style with chunky jewellery, flashy sarees and that big Bindi is now a potential BJP candidate for Chandigarh. Kirron switched to a subtler version in terms of both her sarees and accessories for the sake of the campaign, keeping it ultra-light.

The once sexy siren of films has now totally gone plain jane for the sake of her campaign in Meerut as a candidate for Congress. Nagma is seen wearing sarees in plain colours with zero accessories and minimal makeup. Talk about keeping things ‘real’.

The actress of the recent times is now a strong supporter of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Gul Panag is such a loyalist that, at times, she practically looks like a female Arving Kejriwal at the campaign events. Wearing that AAP cap, Panag is seen riding bicycles, promoting the AAP cause for mankind. If only promises were made to be kept..

Jaya Prada who was once the MP of Samajwadi Party, has made heavy wardrobe transformation to look the part. The lady who once wore silk sarees, heavy makeup, coloured hair atrociously blonde is now in her simplest avatar, clad in simple Salwar Kameez and Cotton Saris. Jaya is now a part of RLD party and is contesting from Bijnor as a candidate.

The once happening Bengali actress is now an active contender for Trinamool Congress from West Bengal area. Moon Moon looks every bit like a yesteryear diva, with heavy vermillion on her forehead and simple georgette sari whose pallu is clad on both sides. This look so reminds us of the late Suchitra Sen in the film Aandhi!

Talking about things going from bad to worse, the happening item girl Rakhi Sawant has now launched her own party. Called the Rashtriya Aam Party, she is contesting from North Mumbai in this year’s elections. Rakhi has tried to tone with cotton Kurtas, fully understanding the plight common men and women will have, in case she chose to campaign in her ‘routine’ outfits!
