Bollywood's leading ladies in the classic Amrapali outfit


Aishwarya Rai, Juhi Chawla (in Darr), Madhuri Dixit (in Khal Nayak) and Sridevi (in Chandni) wear the classic dance attire  the amrapali outfit. 


Missing in the montage, the leading lady who defined it for an era; Vyjanthimala.

Oscar-winner Bhanu Athaiya created the look for Bollywood's erstwhile queen, the danseuse Vyjanthimala back in 1966.

Variations on the look have been recreated innumerable times. Some more sensuous than others (Zeenat Aman in Satyam Shivam Sundaram!), some meant purely for dance.
