Glamour-focussed Bollywood divas understand this perfectly. And so, regardless of whether the plot makes sense or not, you have these stunning women, at their distracting best, lend a touch of provocatively-hemmed oomph to wow-inducing results.
Here's hot proof:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Ash has the ability to drop jaws by the dozen with her smouldering avatars every now and then. Dhoom 2, anybody?
The leggy model makes the world her runaway in anything she slips into.
But if you thought you've seen enough of her in flowing gowns and sequinned saris, Kats plays it hip and young in this red-hot mini.
Bebo might not be making too much sound this days. Then again, actions speak louder than words.
And so the Kambakth Ishq star is letting her wardrobe do a lot of talking lately.
Clearly, the word 'fashion' has struck gold for PC.
Making the most of this trend, the actress is on a extensive designer spree.
Although give us good ol' Piggy Chops in a mini any day.
Sexy is as sexy does. Ms Basu makes collecting money from bank one hell of a glamorous outing in those am-I-hot-or-am-I-hot? brand of skimpy denims.
Right from the beginning of her career, miniskirts and perky Zinta remain synonymous with each other.
This is one association you'll never find us complaining about.
