Vogue asks, What makes you feel sexy?

Vouge recently asked some leading ladies the question, “What makes you feel sexy”? using #CurveConfidence: The shape of things.

Here is what they had to say.

Malaika Arora Khan, actress:
Being in a hotel room on a four-poster bed with white sheets… I love it! Besides that, many other things… like a well-fitted pair of jeans.

Ragini Ahuja, fashion designer:
I feel sexiest in a big ‘boyfriend’ shirt, grungy hair and deep oxblood lips. I also feel great when my innerwear is coordinated—like a nice lacy floral black bra with high-waist boy shorts.

Deanne Panday, fitness expert:
I feel sexiest in my own skin. It’s all about health and fitness for me… for a 46-year-old, I think I’m in pretty good shape. Scratch that. I’m in pretty good shape. Period. When I look at myself in the mirror, I see a toned body and an even glow—nothing is sexier than that!

Sheena Sippy, photographer:
I feel sexiest in clothes that are both comfortable and flattering. I honestly don’t believe something is sexy just because it’s skimpy. A hint of curves is more alluring than showing skin. Having said that, on a bad day, cleavage and high heels fix everything!

Masaba Gupta, fashion designer:
Ripped jeans and oversized shirts. In fact, I feel sexy in anything that is oversized.

Tisca Chopra, actress:
I feel sexiest when I put on some mascara… and, of course, my husband’s shirt! A long luxurious massage and a pair of [Nicholas] Kirkwood heels have the same effect on me.

Kalyani Chawla, VP Marketing & Communications – Christian Dior Couture India:
Sexy for me is my independence. Sexy for me is my freedom. Sexy for me is knowing I am my own master.
