Impeccably dressed actors always have a very talented stylist behind their Internet-breaking looks.
Ever looked at your favourite stars and wondered how they always are immaculately dressed? Well, it takes a village to get them to that point! Celebrity looks too can have hits and misses, and it all comes down to their whole attire. The pressure of getting them dressed right, lands on the shoulders of these particularly talented people called fashion stylists or the actors’ personal fairy godmothers as we like to call them at Man’s Life!
We are grateful to Anaita Shroff Adjania and Rhea Kapoor for making this profession a legitimate one. They really are the pathbreakers in India, and styling now has grown into a full-blown industry and a necessity that actors cannot thrive without. While we were on that topic, it seems to be a good idea to introduce you all to the stalwart contributors to the fashion industry, the ones that dress up our stars to make them our next fashion inspiration.

If you ask us, she is the stylist of the decade! We cannot think of a better title to present to Nitasha Gaurav than this. She has the flair and penchant to knock things out of the park, especially when she gets down to styling actor Ranveer Singh. While his sense of style is debatable according to some, what we cannot ignore is her contribution to flaming the fire that has turned him into a fashion icon. She is the Laurel to his Hardy for the lack of better words, and is a force to be reckoned with!

That said, she herself has a unique personal style that reflects on her Instagram page, giving us a glimpse into her creative mind.
