How do you wear your Tod bag?

Who: Deepika Padukone, Sophie Choudry, Kiran Rao

Who: Suzzane Roshan, Tisca Chopra, Zoe Saldana

Who:Debra Messing, Angie Harmon, Diane Kruger

Spotted around town

Who: Priyanka Chopra
Where: Nikon Coolpix camera launch

Genie Pants Jumpsuit - didnt even know these things existed! They do look comfy but peeing is going to be a major pain, no? Anyways, I digress...Back to Piggy Chops - love the necklace. The shoes are pretty too but look a little discordant with this outfit. Her foundation is the wrong shade, too.

Who: Monikangana Dutta
Where: At Neeta Lulla store

Please tell me how is this girl a model??
Are there no mirrors in her house?? If Priyanka overloaded on her foundation, Ms. Dutta skipped hers. And hon, blotting paper is available in most places - invest in it.

Who: Preity Zinta, Deepika Padukone, Guest at LFW 2011

Who rocked the trilby hat? A rhetorical question, no? Preity!!!

Who: Amrita Arora, Suzanne Roshan
Where: Paul and Shark launch

Who rocked the black/blue combination? This you can answer truthfully without any fear of retribution;-)

Magazine Covers - March 2011

Elle - Cant place her:(
Harper's Bazaar - Priyanka Chopra
Vogue - Deepika Padukone
Marie Claire - Kalki Koechlin
Verve - Aishwarya Rai
Femina - Sarah Jane Dias

I liked the background of Elle cover (Rajasthan fort?) and the shoes. The clothes are vague but I love the way the model posed. I also would like to get my hands on the "300 best buys" list for Spring/Summer 2011!
Priyanka's outfit on the Bazaar cover is fabulous and I am happy they didnt over-accessorize her. The orange masthead is a nice cheery contrast to the white background.
Deepika is smoking hot on the Vogue cover! We all know she has one of the best bods in the industry and this cover totally showcases that! The pink dress against a darker pink background looks very cool but for some reason this doesn't look like Vogue. Cosmopolitan and Glamour covers are what come to mind:P
I cant believe someone made Kalki wear such a fugly wig! Its horrible! She looks like a primate here.
Yes, thats Aish on the Verve cover. Her face is her selling point, so not sure why its partially hidden? Her hair and makeup is very conventional and I find the rings a little distracting.

Which cover did you like best?

What do you wear to a Bryan Adams concert?

Who: Deepika Padukone, Preity Zinta

Deepika and Preity went for a laid-back, causal look in jeans, tee and shoes. Both look great and I love their hairstyles.

Who: Rani Mukerjee, Madhoo, Amrita Rao

Rani, Madhoo and Amrita upgraded their basic jeans with some glitter and sequins. Not bad, but a clutch to a concert??

Who: Anushka Sharma, Minissha Lamba

Anushka went for a tights + blazer combo and Minissha opted for a tulip skirt paired with a tee.
I like when people mix black and brown but the shoes look a little off with the outfit.
The colors of Minissha's outfit are pretty but am not a big fan of skirts at rock concerts.

Magazine Covers - February 2011

Filmfare - Anushka Sharma
Grazia - Deepika Padukone
Femina - Kangana Ranaut
Stardust Icon - Rani Mukherjee
Vogue - Aishwarya Rai
Elle - not sure abt the models
Conde Nast Traveller - Padma Lakshmi

The Filmfare cover is soft and simple but there is waay too much text on the cover. Looks like they out the entire content of the magazine on the cover!!

Grazia - The clothes, the side plait and the pose, especially the pose is soooo Sonam Kapoor! why? Is there no one else left to copy? And they have managed to make a beautiful girl look so unattractive! First for any magazine:-)

Like the Femina cover. the color composition of the Stardust Icon cover is nice but Rani isnt looking her best.

We already did the Vogue cover in a earlier post. Aishwarya is wearing Roksanda Ilincic and is looking fierce.

The Elle cover is the best. I never seen a denim jacket look this sexy. I also like the fact the models are not over-styled and over-accessorized . Not sure who the models are but they rock the cover.

Not sure whats more attractive on the Traveller cover - the New York skyline or Padma Lakshmi. Honestly, the cover makes me want to buy the issue to check out all the NY bar-hopping places. Which is exactly the point!!

Events: Imran Khan's wedding reception

Who: Kiran Rao, Ursual from The little mermaid

Is it just me or does anyone else see the resemblance between Kiran's skirt and Ursula's tentacles? I always figured Kiran was an alien:-) Her dressing sense is out of this world (geddit, geddit??)

Who: Sonakshi Sinha, Katrina Kaif, Vidya Balan

Sonakshi and Katrina are elegant in their incredibly delicate anarkalis. I really like the color contrast of the deep red bodice in the Tarun Tahiliani outfit that Katrina is wearing.
Vidya wore a Sabyasachi anarkali to the event. No the anarkali and her crimped hair.

Who: Twinkle Khanna, Preity Zinta, Suzanne Khan

Twinkle is a knockout in her bright pink dress. Not only is the color gorgeous but I also like the cut of her beautifully tailored outfit. Perfectly paired with brown peep-toes and gold layered necklace.
Preity - Looking pretty as always!!
I am surprised to see Suzanne in a Ritu Kumar which has been previously seen on Neha Dhupia as well as on Diana Haydon. Its a pretty outfit but I can only see it so many times:-)

Who: Madhuri, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra

I like Madhuri's color combination. Not sure about her clutch or shoes..
Deepika always looks good when she is not in a bridesmaid dress.
The design and embroidery of Priyanka's outfit give it a very tacky effect. I also feel this kind of long top only looks good in anarkali style.

Who: Gauri Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee, Genelia D'souza

Gauri in an outfit that is not OTT and harsh orange in color. How did this happen?
Kareena sparkles and shines in a net saree with glittering sequins. The sequins are really the star of this outfit elevating a basic black saree. It also helps that gorgeous Kareena is wearing it..
Rani wore a Sabyasachi saree. Not a big fan of this mustard yellow color.
Genelia wore a great color but she looks under-dressed for the event.

Who: Ameesha Patel, Anushka Sharma

What a surprise - Ameesha in a outfit that is not attention-seeking!! I hope she keeps it up.
Anushka wore a short grey dress with sequins and kept her makeup and accessories minimal. The dress, though not a knockout, is pretty and flattering. She paired the dress with smart black shoes.

Who do you think was the best dressed at the event?

Spotted around town

Who: Deepika Padukone
Where: Triumph show

Runaway disco ball on the red carpet!!

Deepika's outfit would have worked but the red nails, crystal belt and clutch make the whole thing look like an expensive Forever21 creation that is intended for a Christmas party with some disco dancing.

Who: Akshay Kumar and Twinkle
Where: Triumph show

Akshay looks yummy and I could drool all day long but the giant chessboard keeps distracting me. Oops, its his wife, Twinkle! Hey, not a bad dress. Loose the ruffle and we are talking.

Who: Shazahn, Soniya Mehra, Sonakshi Sinha
Where: Triumph show

Shazahn - I like her clutch and shoes but her dress is yawnsville and it somehow doesn't flow with her accessories.
Soniya - Great dress but socks!! Girlfriend, what were you thinking? I like quirky but that's just silly.
Sonakshi - I like the whole look but I think its more suited to a causal event.

Who: Amrita Arora, Neelam
Where: Triumph show

Amrita's leopard print dress is cute but those shoes really clash with the outfit.

Neelam's printed dress has a classy and chic look but for the piece of lace around her shoulder. Looks like the designer ran out of material and patched it together with lace.

What will she wear?

We are midway thru the bollywood awards season and heading towards the Filmfare awards which will take place on Jan 29th. The Filmfare awards are Hindi film industry's equivalent of the Oscar. So expect to see all the babes in all their finery and glory. The burning question, at least for me, is what will they wear?

Today, we look at Katrina and Deepika. We have already picked out gowns for Sonakshi and Priyanka. Check them out here. If only, they would take our advice:-)

Katrina Kaif

Katrina wears way too much white but surprisingly goes for the jugular in red/pink for red carpet events. White stands for purity and innocence whereas red is bold and sexy. hmm, split personality? Who cares! Here are my picks.

Monique Lhuiller Spring 2011 RTW, Reem Acra Fall 2007

Givenchy Fall 2009 couture, Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2011


Deepika Padukone

Whether you like her or not, there is no denying that Deepika has one of the best bodies in town and can rock any runway look. Unfortunately, she has a predilection for prom/bridesmaid dresses and tacky gowns. She mainly wears black, nude, blush and silver colors. Gold- bronze colors suit her best. Most of my picks are in Deepika's comfort zone but play on her love for draping.

Reem Acra Fall 2010( Not in this color but in gold), Donna Karan resort 2011

Ellie Saab Spring 2009 Couture, Ellie Saab Spring 2011 couture

Red Carpet Event: Zee Cine awards 2011

To say the red carpet at Zee Cine awards was disappointing, would be an understatement. There werent many celebs on the red carpet and there wasnt any dress to set ur pulse raising!!

Who: Deepika Padukone

Looks like Deepika has an affinity for drape-y, twist front clingy dresses. She wore something similar for the Kingfisher Calendar launch. She looks nice in the second pic but in the first one the dress material looks cheap and tacky. Walmart version of a couture dress!?!!

Who: Sonakshi Sinha

That is a gorgeous saree and it looks like the top/blouse is a halter with high neck. Hair is much better than last time but I still think Sonakshi dresses too mature - 23 going on 50. She needs to wear more colorful, youthful clothes!!

What do you guys think? Is this a downgrade or an upgrade from her last red carpet look at Apsara awards?

Who: Neha Dhupia, Prachi Desai

Neha looks elegant in a multi-tiered gown with lace and sequins. One of the better looks of the evening.
Looks like the dress swallowed Prachi up! Love the color but the dress isn’t well-proportioned. The top is waay too big and the bottom is too brief to balance it.

Who: Hrithik Roshan, Sophie Choudry

Suzanne is chic and polished in a simple yet elegant gown that fits her beautifully.

Sophie is OTT as expected. Can someone explain this woman’s career, existence, coverage, etc.? Why is she everywhere??

Who: Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone

Events: Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se premiere

Who: Deepika Padukone

Deepika wanted to make sure no one steals her thunder, so she went for the brightest shade of red and tiniest blouse/top possible. She wore a Neeta Lulla sari and tied up her hair..She does have a long, slim torso which she showcases to perfection but the color is too "dhinchak" for me..

Who: Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan

Abhishek looks cute although his outfit kinda reminds me of the "band baja (musicians)" people who play in marriages:-) Is he wearing eyeliner?
Aishwarya's sari gives me a sense of deja-vu. And not sure why she put so much sindhoor (vermilion)?

Who: Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka attended the red carpet event in a champagne colored sari with embellishments near the neckline. It does look a little pale compared to Deepika's bridal red but on second look, I do like the color. I also prefer the way Priyanka has worn the sari compared to Deepika. Just goes to show that you can look hot without baring it all:-)

Who: Genelia D'souza, Vidya Maldave, Bhagyashree

All three saris are great but I like Genelia best becoz of her cheeky, messy side plait..

Who: Sonali Bendre

Sonali "shuts it down" in a gorgeous cream-gold outfit. The kurti is the perfect length and with golden clutch and earrings, Sonali is absolutely slamming in this dress.

Who: Sameera Reddy, Minissha Lamba

Both, Sameera and Minissha, should be arrested for Fashion DUI - Dressing Under the Influence!!
