Be Fashionable At 40 Like These Celebrities

Celebrity fashion is being defined by the actresses of previous generation in their forties or nearing 40. The Bollywood fashion meter is red hot when it comes to actresses like Madhuri Dixit, Sonali Bendre, Karisma Kapoor, Juhi Chawla and Raveena Tandon. Surprisingly, all these actresses have made their comeback in 2012.

Madhuri Dixit finally moved back to India from the US after 7 years. We have seen a new and fashionable Madhuri ever since. She is giving competition to the raging queens of Bollywood in her Anarkali suits and stylish gowns. Another contemporary of Madhuri, Sridevi has defined celebrity fashion with her bold dressing sense this season. We saw Sridevi in revealing gowns and fluttering sarees like never before. Being fashionable at 40 comes every naturally to these ladies.

Sonali Bendre too is back after a long exile from Bollywood. She is following Bollywood fashion trends quite carefully as we have never seen her dress awkwardly so far. Karisma Kapoor is another actress whose comeback to Bollywood has been rather fashionable. She was a leading fashionista in her hay days.

For those who follow celebrity fashion carefully, Boldsky brings to you a menagerie of Bollywood's fashionably mature actresses. If you want to be fashionable in your 40s, you can easily take tips from these fashionable celebrities.
