Who won the main prizes at the ELLE Beauty Awards 2022?

ELLE Man Icon – Rajkummar Rao

When describing Rajkummar Rao, the term "unconventional" is frequently used. And it has persisted because this individual defies categorization. His most recent album, Monica O My Darling, debuted to excellent reviews, further solidifying his legendary status. Because his oeuvre spans several genres, he is ELLE's Man Icon. Rajkummar Rao solidifies his place as an icon by surprising critics and followers with decisions that are at first glance strange but always intriguing.

ELLE Gen Z Beauty Star – Masaba Gupta

When Masaba Gupta joined the Indian fashion scene with her colorful designs and vivid colors, she quickly became popular among people worldwide. And that was only the start. She now runs a beauty business and works as an actress. Masaba Gupta's cosmetics line, Love Child by Masaba, fills a certain void by catering to the melanated girl who loves some color; for that reason, she is ELLE's, Gen Z Beauty Star.

ELLE Global Icon – Deepika Padukone

A force to be reckoned with is Deepika Padukone. On Instagram, she has 70 million users who follow her every move. Her appeal cuts across nationalities and languages.

She is ELLE's Global Icon because she is a successful businesswoman and brand with a global following.

ELLE Mould-Breaker – Janhvi Kapoor

Even before Janhvi Kapoor's debut film was out, she was burdened with expectations. Since then, she has demonstrated that she is unconcerned with what people think of her. Even the harshest critic had to admit that she wasn't following in the footsteps of the success of her famous parents because of the unexpected films she chose to watch and the excellence of her performances. Janhavi Kapoor cannot be placed in a mold. She is ELLE's Mould-Breaker precisely because she isn't afraid to take chances and frequently chooses the less-traveled route.
