We’ve seen Meesha Shafi transition from a slightly chubby young girl to a gorgeous swan with a great sense of style. What is it that makes Meesha so incredible to look at? You could blame it on the high cheekbones or the style sense that’s evolved from bohemian-chic to very,very …high fashion. So what would be Meesha Shafi’s greatest fashion accessory? It would be herself. She will grow her hair out, and cut it short and pixie-like. She will show off her great skin in super sheer makeup, or wear bitten shades that are usually hard to carry off. Meesha Shafi’s greatest accessory is herself – as is the statement she makes, no matter what she wears.

This lady called Liberty Ross recently registered on our radars with her philandering husband’s escapades that broke Twilight’s greatest romance. For her Snow White & The Huntsman role and red carpets, Ross looks a little like an off-brand Lisbeth Salander, but look at her style as a whole, and you will find she usually keeps it pretty clean but dramatic. Here she wears dark eyes without them taking over her face, as ladies in Pakistan tend to let their smoky makeup do. With her hair pulled back and simple accessories, Liberty Ross plays up her pretty features without looking like she’s playing dress up.

Rooney Mara went from drab with an annoying face to super-exotic and highly dramatic in one fell swoop – post her The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo outfitting, rooney worked red carpets and festivals with the simplest style statement. She sported a very stark haircut and colour, which when down to basics is just bangs and black, but it made her face appear more interesting than one would normally find. Rooney Mara uses her face as a canvas, and frames it just right.

You’ve got to work with what you’ve got, unless your name is Lindsay Lohan and you’ve had your face yanked and jabbed till it really just looks like you’re 85. Rachel Weisz is naturally beautiful, yes, but over the years she’s developed signatures that are just her own. For instance, ‘Rachel Weisz-ing’ your brows may be something to celebrate, as the woman has a great set of arches. Just by allowing her eyebrows to be natural but neat, Rachel Weisz adds a certain etherealness to her look without really trying too hard. Beauty? It’s simpler than you think.
