Bollywood churns out a large number of movies each year, many of which are based on its rich cultural heritage. The various royal dynasties being an integral part of Indian culture and history, their stories are often adapted in Bollywood. Of course, over the years, this has led to some really epic movies which have captured the imagination of the audiences. Moreover, while most remember the actors who played the royalty, the ladies have also delivered some memorable moments as regal authorities. So to honour them, here are a few B-Town actresses who adorned the royal attire and looked absolutely gorgeous in it…

Deepika Padukone is no stranger when it comes to playing royalty on the big screen. She already mesmerized everyone as Mastani in ‘Bajirao Mastani’. But her regal avatar in ‘Padmavati’ takes her beauty to a whole new level. Dressed in a golden embroidered red saree, Deepika looks absolutely stunning as the queen of Chittor. She is also decked up in expensive gold jewellery from head to toe, making her the epitome of grace and dignity. Overall, everyone is confident that Deepika will absolutely kill it in ‘Padmavati’.

Sonam Kapoor also managed to perfectly nail the royal look in the Salman Khan starrer ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo’. One of her most famous looks from the film includes a beige coloured lehenga choli which the actress adorns with utmost grace. She adorns this beautiful outfit with some amazing jewellery and completing the regal look. However, Sonam further adds to the beauty with her big inimitable smile that radiated on screen throughout the movie.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is already known as one of the most beautiful women on the planet. However, her beauty and grace increases to a whole new level when she adorns traditional attire. Her character of Jodhabai in Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ looked absolutely breathtaking. Adorned in super gorgeous sarees, jewellery and scorching the screen with her mesmerizing eyes, Aish was the epitome of royalty in the film.

Priyanka Chopra was super impressive in the multi-starrer ‘Bajirao Mastani’ as queen Kashibai. Not only was her performance in the film up to the mark, but her attire too commanded respect and admiration instantly. She was not dressed up as most royalties but still looked stunning in a simple Marathi style saree along with jewellery signifying her as true Maratha queen. There is no doubt that Priyanka is extremely talented on screen but her catchy royal attire also played its part in asserting her dominance over the film.

Who can forget the fierce and regal Devasena from the ‘Baahubali’ franchise? Actress Anushka Shetty has immortalized her character of Devasena as the epitome of feminine strength, beauty and grace. Draped in gorgeous sarees and ornaments throughout the film, the tall actress commanded deep respect from the characters and audience alike. While it was Prabhas who carried the film on his shoulders, his chemistry with Anushka became the talking point in ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’.

Ileana played the royal princess Gitanjali in ‘Baadshaho’. Since the movie was set in a considerably modern era post-independence, she was not decked up in jewellery and expensive clothes like most royals are shown. In the movie, she can be seen sporting some dazzling sarees with minimal ornaments. However, Ileana still managed to look drop-dead gorgeous and took everyone’s breath away. The actress proved it to everyone that she can look stunning in traditional as well as western clothes.
