5. Shonali Nagrani:

Shonali Nagrani created history as the first female host on the U.K. version of IPL Extraaaa Innings for ITV. She anchored the show for four years.

While hosting the IPL show, Nagrani was shown favoring both Indian and international fashion labels. While her everyday style is enough to grab everyone’s attention, Nagrani made sure to top the style icon’s list with her wardrobe choices as an IPL host.
