IBNLive Style Police: Bipasha Basu, bolder than ever!

From the looks of the posters of 'Raaz 3', it seems like Bipasha Basu is not ready to give up the title of being one of Bollywood's sexiest heroines just yet. IBNLive's Jaya Sharma traces back at how Bipasha has maintained this in-your-face sexuality over a decade. This image is from Bollywood's favourite photographer, Dabboo Ratnani's calendar shoot.

There has been nothing subtle about Bipasha Basu's sexiness right from the time she debuted in Bollywood with 'Ajnabee' (2001), moving on to 'Raaz' (2002) and then 'Jism' (2003) with ex-lover John Abraham. The fact that she was always in steady relationships might have protected her from controversies.

At the 2007 IIFA awards, Bipasha flaunted all that she could in a red embellished gown. And you know what, we think she could afford to!

Apart from announcing the seven wonders of the world at a ceremony in 2007, Bipasha made headlines by being spotted (intimately) with none other than Portugese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo in 2007.

She wore a wine-coloured sequinned gown teamed with a stole at an international jewellery brand launch in 2007. It all didn't blend very well, but her make-up was stunning!

Spotted at a gym, Bipasha Basu has always been a fitness freak. We loved her bob even though half the world at that time had cropped their hair to look like Victoria Beckham.

At a press conference for the film 'Bachna Ae Haseeno', Bipasha wore a sexy pink dress that she accessorised with a charm bracelet and neckpiece.

One thing Bipasha Basu is not scared of is experimenting with hairstyle, which is such a plus considering most Bollywood actress stick to the shoulder-length tousled look. Bangs - nice, red hair colour - not.

Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu walked the ramp in a Mona and Pali saree at the Kolkata Fashion Week in 2009. What? No cleavage!

At the 2009 IIFA awards held at Macau, China, Bipasha wore a black and grey dress that we dislike because of the uncoordinated net trimmings and an unflattering length.

But the next day, Bipasha won the style diva award! She smouldered in that blue gown.

Bipasha wore a pink-orange Anamika Khanna saree as if almost in a hurry, to the 2010 IIFA awards held at Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Love, love, love! The short dress with huge floral motifs and the fuschsia pink pumps were a hit.

Thankfully, Bipasha played it safe posing next to Bollywood’s fashionista Sonam Kapoor who rarely ever goes wrong with her outfits, at a media event for the film 'Players' (2011).

At the music launch for her upcoming film 'Jodi Breakers' in January 2012, Bipasha wore a Neeta Lulla saree with a bikini top. Need we say more?

Designer Sabyasachi's saree on Bipasha Basu at the 2012 Stardust Awards was a sight to behold.

At a media event during the 2012 IIFA awards, Bipasha continued her stint with sarees, this time opting for an Anamika Khanna creation. She wore it in a loose, comfortable, yet gracefully manner.

Is that a Christian Dior? Yes it is, and actress Bipasha Basu wore it perfectly with the side-braid and minimal make-up on day 1 of the 2012 IIFA awards.

The next day, Bipasha swept the red carpet in a Gauri and Nainika red gown. Looks like an understated version of Sunne Leone's gown in the song 'Darta Hoon' from 'Jism 2'.

And finally, at director Karan Johar's birthday party, Bipasha wore a backless Arpan Vohra gown and posed generously for the photographers.
