The Rise of Nargis Fakhri from America's Next Top Model to Bollywood and Beyond!

Bollywood beauty Nargis Fakhri has sure hit the big time with her Hollywood debut, the soon-to-be-released comedy Spy, starring Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne and Jude Law. The model-turned-actress oozed confidence and style on the red carpets of both films' premieres, which took place in London and New York City.

At the London premiere last week, she was a vision in red, wearing a peek-a-boo Monisha Jaising keyhole dress. Then, later this week, she turned heads as only a true style vixen can in a backless, cape-sleeve gown by Samuel Dougal.

Let's take a walk down memory lane as we explore the evolving looks of this multicultural beauty over the years.

The Top Model

Nargis first caught our eye when she auditioned and was cast in cycle 3 of America's Next Top Model.

And then she bedazzled us in the 2009 Kingfisher calendar as a modern-day Pocahontas for February.

Classic Beauty

Who could forget those dreamy eyes in the Bolly flick Rockstar, where she starred opposite Ranbir Kapoor, making her Bollywood debut?

The Seductress

And the vixen from the film Main Tera Hero flaunted her perfectly sculpted bod, enough to give Aphrodite a run for her money.

Indian Bride

Then there was the picture-perfect bride at the Suneet Varma Summer 2015 show during Lakmé Fashion Week this year.

Let's not forget the slew of magazine covers she's graced — including this recent one, where she's showcased in a fresh, edgier take on today's minimalist trend.
