Wardrobe Wrap
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gone are those frilly frocks, that flaming red lipstick and the unkempt hair. With Rangeela in 1995, and with lots of help from designer Manish Malhotra, Urmila Matondkar went from seedhi-saadhi to sensuous, giving up her conservative Maharashtrian wardrobe for designer togs and swanky sportswear.

In Rangeela, she wore everything from a sheer white tee (all wet and transparent) and a black swimsuit to a strappy red number. "She has the kind of figure that most women would kill for," says Malhotra, who came up with most of Matondkar's show-stopping outfits. Malhotra even walked away with a special award for his Rangeela creations, then outdid himself in Daud, where he attempted to give her an even sexier look.

This time round, it was all plunging necklines and tight jeans, which was definitely more appreciated than the film itself. In Judaai and much to the surprise of both critics and audiences the sexy siren draped herself in silk sarees of every available shade. In Satya, they were sarees of another kind: simple, cotton ones which concealed most of that sought-after booty.

By the time she delivered some 12 bombs in a row (including Aflatoon, Jaanam Samjha Karo, Khoobsurat, Hum Tum Pe Marte Hain, Mast, Koun, Dillagi, Deewane, Kunwara), she had established the fact that she was a stunner. And with her latest, Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, in which she's opted for a short, mangy-dog kind of hairdo, Urmila returns to that sexy look complete with sporty tank tops and tight cycling shorts.

Early photographs from such films as Aa Gale Lag Ja or Chamatkaar aren't greeted with either excitement or nostalgic pleasantness. She'd much rather you wipe away those memories for good. She's sexy, and happy to be so!
