In the caption, she wrote: “How do you like this look? I find it quite Hepburn inspired! As a model and actor, creative collaborations are so interesting because you get to see yourself as others see you. It also involves trust and patience.”

2. Rosie in Guide, played by the ever graceful Waheeda Rehman.

3. Anarkali in Mughal-e-Azam, played exquisitely by Madhubala.

4. Cesira in Two Women, played so unflinchingly by Sophia Loren.

5. Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada, played with icy nonchalance by Meryl Streep.
