Weekend Round - The beautiful and the bewildering

Who: Karisma Kapur
Where: Arena Polo match

Karisma is super elegant in this black/beige outfit. I love that she tied her hair which showcases her gorgeous, luminous skin and delicate shoulder bones. The length is a little awkward but she carries it off.

Who: Kangana Ranuat
Where: Femina Miss India Finale

This has to be Ms. Ranuat best appearance so far! Her classy do perfectly complements the stunning, modest(no boobs!!) pleated dress. And what color! Sigh!
Yes, the hemline could have been longer but I am pretty that piece of dress material went in covering her "girls" so am not complaining!

Who: Madhoo
Where: Arena Polo match

The print caught my eye(Custo Barcelona??) but on second thoughts me no like. It smells cheap to me:-(

Who: Genelia D'Souza, Neetu Chandra, Esa Koppikar
Where: Aston Martin lunch

Oh, the horrors!! I am never wearing white again!
The rate at which the celebs keep turning me of certain colors and trends, it will soon be time for me to join a nudist camp:P

Spotted around town

Who: Preity Zinta
Where: Guniess world records India todega press meet

It should be illegal for anyone to be this cute:-) Love her in curly hair!
Preity wore a snug, well constructed frock from Zara with some ladylike heels. The red color is her favorite and the addition of skinny belt gives it a trendy look. I think she would have looked more graceful if the hemline was a little longer.

Who: Genelia D'Souza
Where: Guess Jeans women day concert

My first reaction was hottie and then slutty. There is a very fine line between looking hot and looking slutty. So help me decide - Hottie or Slutty?

Who: Lisa Ray
Where: Launch of Lifecell Femma

Lisa is graceful and elegant in a grey, printed dress. This cropped hairstyle looks good on her.
I am not trying to be mean here (she is a cancer survior) but I cant help but notice that she matches the carpet perfectly:P

Who: Mini Mathur

Where: BIG CBS love channel launch

The bright red top works really well with tailored brown pants. If only she had skipped the red shoes!

Weekend Roundup

Who: Sonam Kapoor
Where: Shahid Kapoor bday bash

Bed-sheet tied up with string or lovely grecian dress ?? You decide.

Who: Suzanne Khan
Where: At her "Charcoal project"

Suzanne kept it simple in a very feminine and flattering LBD in a classic silhouette - a close-fitted bodice and full-flare skirt nipped with a skinny belt. The pleating on the sleeve and tiers on the skirt add a new twist to the old classic. Love!

Who: Preity Zinta
Where: Suzanne Khan "Charcoal project"

Love is blind, so is adoration:-) I refuse to see Preity's washed out face or her common-place front-ruffle dress. I think she just rocks!!

Who: Katrina Kaif, Twinkle Khanna
Where: Suzanne Khan "Charcoal project"

Katrina succeeded in doing the impossible - making florals look as dull as the ditch water. And as if the dress wasn't depressing enough, Katrina paired it with drab brown accessories.
Twinkle also wore some dull colors but by adding a bright green bag and layered gold necklace, she totally elevated her outfit. All hail the queen of accessorizing!!

Who: Shilpa Shetty, Sophie Choudry
Where: Suzanne Khan "Charcoal project"

Wow, Shilpa's body is a work of art! Just one question - how do you sit in that dress or more importantly, breath?

A wraparound dress and a tulip hemline - both are my favorites and no wonder, I love Sophie's outfit. The color is great and I like her choice of accessories.

Who: Gauri Khan, Farah Ali Khan
Where: Suzanne Khan "Charcoal project"

Is that really you, Gauri? Gauri in something that is not bright orange, OTT or blinding us! And she is looking good! Gauri is hip and trendy in a masculine pants worn with a very feminine halter top. I just hope she keeps it up.
Farah also looks trendy in her slim cigarette pants worn with a loose white top and teamed with red clutch and red lips. Not sure about her hairstyle - I think its too teenagerish for such a sophisticated outfit.

Who: Rani Mukherjee, Genelia D'souza, Sonali Bendre
Where: Shahid Bday bash

Rani - Whoa, why is she so orange?Is she preparing to be a pumpkin in her next movie?
Genelia - Lacy leggings with a sheer blouse?? No one is that cute enough to make such an outfit work!
Sonali - She is having a serious relationship with bib necklaces and I am not complaining!

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?

Red Carpet Event: Filmfare awards 2011(Part 1)

Who: Sonakshi Sinha

Looks like someone read our blogpost and took our advice! Sonakshi, finally in something that is youthful and bright. The color and the draping is just gorgeous and I love her cascading curls. The fresh look just hit the right note for the occasion. Congrats on winning the best debut of the year for 'Dabaang'.

Who: Genelia D'Souza, Neha Dhupia

Genezlia - Other than the color, there is nothing I like here.

On the fence for Neha's dress. The color and style is pretty neat but somehow the outfit falls flat and really doesn't excite me.

Who: Rani Mukerjee, Sridevi

Rani - This is the only pic available and can I just say WOW!! Love the way the fabric falls. The blue really compliments her skin color and the look is just tres magnifique!

Sridevi- Great color, great outfit but the creases are so bad that it distracts and completely takes away the beauty of the dress.

Who: Prachi Desai, Malaika Arora Khan

Not a big fan of Prachi but have to say she looks cute with the side plait. As for the dress, the bottom part could be used as a toilet brush, no?

Malaika - This woman is flawless. She only has one look - the cougar look and dayum, she has perfected it!!

Who: Amrita Puri, Suzanne Roshan

Finally, someone in scarlet red!! Both are great dresses - Amrita's dress is beautifully tailored (love the pleats on the bodice) and Suzanne has sexy draping. Suzzane went a little overboard with matching accessories and red hair so this one goes to Amrita.

Who: Mugdha Godse, Sameera Reddy

Even though her clutch color is a little jarring, I like Mugdha with her shiny, slick hair. She looks chic and sassy.

Sameera - This is how a dress designed by a 'split-personality soap-opera character' would look like - loud, loud and so OTT!!

Events: Dabboo Ratnani Calender launch

Just to give a little background - Dabboo Ratnani is a celebrity and fashion photographer who is best known for his annual calendar. Being featured in this annual calendar is a considered a big notch in the belt.

Who: Vidya Balan

Vidya in something other than a red saree:P Looks like a Sabyasachi anarkali.
I like how the designer has played with colors and different traditional embroideries. Its very boho-chic and I love the overall vibe. Not a big fan of clogs but it looks ok here.

Vidya seems to be taking off her clothes a lot for photo-shoots!!

Who: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya went for a very low-key look in jeans paired with a loose white shirt and brown peep-toes. On the other hand, the top she is wearing in the calendar is exquisite. Love the delicate row of buttons. But who chopped her arms off? The pic is awkward and borderline creepy!

Who: Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka wore a black jumpsuit with jeweled belt to the event. I could have lived with the jumpsuit but that draping in front is very inappropriately placed between her legs. Extra spurt of growth!!!!
And hon, you are in dire need of a pedicure!

Who: Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi wore a white dress that she brightened with bright, red lips. I like her dress - has a "easy breezy" summery feel to it. The pumps look a little clunky/heavy and I think peep-toes or slingbacks would have been better..

Who: Genelia D'Souza

I love everything about Genelia's outfit - from her chunky necklace, to her satin pants and silver metallic shoes. She looks effortlessly chic.

Genelia's calendar pic captures her essence - she does come across as having a lively, bubbly, effervescent personality. But for all I know she could be the biggest piss-pot:-)

Who: Mandira Bedi, Neetu Chandra

Mandira wore a lovely saree thats looks like its by designer Masaba. She should have skipped the necklace.

Neetu's floral jumpsuit is pretty but what really caught my eye was how well her pumps go with her outfit.

Events: Christian Dior Store opening - II

Who: Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa wore a nude CD gown which was earlier worn by Sonam for Cosmpolitan shoot(Oct 2010). I love the cutouts near the hemline but don't quite like the top frilly part. What do you guys think?

Who: Genelia D'Souza, Natasha Poonawala

Both, Genelia and Nastsha, wore gorgeously chic outfits but were undone by their hairstyles. Genelia's hair looks very messy and not sure why Natasha stuck a bird nest on top of her pretty head..Lastest fashion accessory?

Who: Soniya Mehra, Queenie, Guest

Soniya - Where do I even start? Tacky, ill-fitting dress, ugly shoes and unkempt hair...

I have only one word for Queenie's outfit - Love!!Yes, I do. The skirt of her dress is simply sublime. Wish she had worn nude underthings...

Guest - Check out the gorgeous detailing at the neck!!

Who: Shahzahn Padamsee

Shahzahn's silver dress is so eye-catching and bling-y that it doesn't require any accessories.

Who: Sophie Choudry, Malaika Arora Khan

Malaika wore a CD Fall 09 dress to the store opening and wisely lets the gown take center-stage with no accessories.
Love Sophie's updo.

Who: Monikangana Dutta, Guest

I find Monikangana pretty and I get the whole Senorita thing she is going for but dude, gold shoes with silver dress?? What were you smoking??

Love the simple silhouette of the guest's dress.

Bollywood celebrates Diwali!!

Winter White

Who: Mallika Arora Khan, Laila Khan
Where: Shilpa Shetty's Diwali party

White can look phenomenally chic when done right. Love both their outfits - they look polished and classy.

Who: Suzanne Roshan, Minissha Lamba
Where: Shilpa Shetty Diwali Party, Tushar Kapoor Diwali party

Suzanne's sparkly Loubs are to die for and the red bindi looks good on her. As far as her outfit is concerned, it is too bland compared to her clutch.
I like the top part of Minissha's anarkali. The rest looks El-Cheapo!

Nude Tones

Who: Prachi Desia, Mehr Ramphal
Where: Shilpa Shetty's Diwali party

Prachi wore a cute outfit with some really ugly shoes!
Mehr's dress is elegant and classy but the problem is that Mehr tends to favor nude makeup and with no accessories, it gives her a very 'Plain-Jane' feel.

Color me bright

Who: Kareena Kapoor
Where: Tushar Kapoor's Diwali party

Kareena in a very loud Manish Malhotra outfit and wa-a-y to much blush. She can give any drag queen a run for her money!!

Orange Delights

Who: Dia Mirza, Neelam
Where: Shilpa Shetty's Diwali party

Dia and Neelam look youthful and charming in their outfits. Didnt like Neelam's clutch - would have preferred something more ethereal.

Revenge of the stylists!!

Who: Ameesha Patel, Genelia D'Souza, Amrita Arora

Ameesha - We get it that you have boobs! Do you have to showcase then at every party??
Genelia - Are you color blind?? She looks like a movie extra from a from a c-grade movie!!
Amrita - The circus clown called - he wants his outfit back!!

Magazine Covers - October 2010

Harper's Bazaar - Katrina Kaif
Elle - Lisa ray
Femina - Genelia D'Souza
Grazia - Asin
Vogue - Cindy Crawford
Marie Claire - Deepika Padukone
FHM - Lara Dutta
Cosmopolitan - Sonam Kapoor

Katrina looks very washed out on Harper Bazaar's cover.

Elle - Doing the masthead in the same color as Lisa's dress makes the cover very striking.

FHM - I havent seen Lara Dutta look so fierce!! very different from her normal "sugary" covers.

Maire Claire - I love how Deepika has been styled - love the contrast in colors as well as textures. Its a "bridal" issue so not sure why Deepika didn't wear Indian bridalwear..

Grazia cover is too busy although I do like Asin's pose with the feather.

Sonam's cover for Cosmopolitan is bright and sunny. Here is her photoshoot for the magazine.

Looks like she had a lot of fun doing this. Great poses, hairstyle and clothes. Just wish they had used a different background and piled on more accessories. Overall an awesome photo-shoot.

Which outfit did you like best? I love the nude sequins dress ...
