To see where our desi WAGs rank in style quotient, we asked a panel of style experts — Jamal Shaikh, editor of Men’s Health, designer Jattinn Kochhar and celebrity stylist Rishi Raj — to rate some WAGs on a scale of 10, with the sexy Victoria Beckham, wife of football player David Beckham being a perfect 10!
