Vidya: Frumpy to fashionable
Vidya Balan wasn't always the sari-clad diva she is now. Before this saree-heaven, she was seen in just about anything. Here are the pics.

Vidya Balan, once every fashion watcher's favourite target, matched her powerhouse performance in The Dirty Picture with bold, in-character appearances at events connected with the film.
Seen here in yet another stunning, confident appearance at the success party of the film, in a black sari. -
In her early years, she was best remembered for her role in the hit TV series Hum Paanch. And if she were ever talked about, it was only for her ghastly dressing sense. Vidya took her own sweet time to learn that cheap bling and bad clothes don't mesh well together!

So it wasn't a surprise to anyone when she received the Na-Real award for Bad Dressing Sense from none other than the super-sauve SRK and ultra-male Saif Ali Khan. She justified that she deserved it alright with that orange salwar-suit that would remain forever etched in every fashion-lover's mind.
