Weekend Roundup

Who: Aishwarya Rai
Where: FICCI Frames 2011 awards

Love the soft pink color but the saree isnt very striking or glamorous. Her pink makeup is perfect with the outfit.

Who: Vidya Balan
Where: FICCI Frames 2011 awards

I have given up hope of seeing Vidya in anything other than Sabyasachi but its good to see her in a color other than red or white. The green is stunning and the outfit is like a visual punch to the eyes. She needs to fire her makeup artist since the foundation isnt the right color and the yellow bindi is a really bad idea.

Who: Sonakshi Sinha
Where: FICCI Frames 2011 awards, FICCI Frames 2011 press conference

After the pleated shorts disaster last week, Sonakshi redeems herself in these two outfits. She is elegant in the white/gold outfit. Her printed blue/white outfit is just "wow"!! Love, love!! And her side plait gives her a youthful look. My only complaint - such a beautiful dress requires sky high stilettos :-)

Who: Kiran Rao
Where: FICCI Frames 2011 conference

Ha, Kiran decided to dress like a "normal" person! Have to say I like it!! Hopefully, she will return to her old style otherwise I will have to no one to make fun off:-) wait, we still have the Celinas and the Ameeshas...

Who: Malaika Arora Khan, Amrita Arora
Where: Polo match

I think the two sisters have great potential as con artists. One can dazzle and blind everyone with her age-defying hot body and the other can carry out the crime. Don't you think? I mean, was anyone looking at the horses at this match? Do they even remember which horse won??

Who: Amrita Rao
Where: Somewhere over the weekend

Fab or Fugly?

Weekend Roundup

Who: Kareena Kapoor
Where:Cosmopolitan awards 2011

Love the nude-pink color but not sure about the dress. This needs a better fitting at the waist, no? I dont see any curves..I am also not a big fan of pockets on evening gowns (Jeans? yes pockets. Gowns with pockets? Never good) and I think this outfit would have looked better if it was knee length.

Who: Aishwarya Rai
Where: Cosmopolitan awards, Lavasa Womens' car rally awards

The first outfit could have worked if the top and bottom were of the same shade - did Aishwarya dress in the dark?!
She fares much better in the second outfit - its soft, chic and so luxe looking!

Who: Malaika Arora Khan
Where: Cosmopolitan awards 2011, Jhalak, Dikhla Ja sets

Girlfriend kills in both outfits! The first is a typical Malaika - short and tight with a "painted on" effect. The second may have room to breathe but makes it up with sensuous draping. Isn't the color gorgeous? With Malaika, if an outfit doesn't scream "sex", its not worth wearing:-)

Who: Neelam, Simone Singh
Where: Cosmopolitan awareds 2011

Haven't met a sequins dress that I didn't like! Both are perfect for a night out clubbing!

Who: Sarah Jane, Queenie Dhody, Guest
Where: Cosmopolitan awards 2011

The pink/orange dresses are punchy and bright and look so casual-chic. I love the blue color too but am so done with bandage dresses.

Who: Avantika and Imran Khan
Where: Cosmopolitan awards 2011

Can I have your dress and your man?

Best Dressed of the Month - Jan'11

First, a big welcome to my new readers. And of course, I am grateful for all of you who keep coming back, too:-)

Just some background on the "Best Dressed of the Month" post. At the end of each month, I go through all the comments and select the best "liked" four outfits. We do a poll and the winner goes to our "Hall of Fame". Do check out our past winners! (on the right side of the blog)

January was the awards season, so it was impossible to choose only four. Still I was able to narrow it down to nine outfits. The nominees are:

Who: Aishwarya Rai, Katrina Kaif, Shilpa Shetty

Who: Sonakshi Sinha, Katrina Kaif, Chitrangada Singh

Who: Urmila, Urmila, Malaika Arora Khan

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!!

Red Carpet Event: Apsara awards 2011

Who: Sonakshi Sinha

The beauty of this dress is in the exquisite detailing on the corset top. And what does Sonakshi do? Camouflage it with her Halloween witch hair!! We are smart, aren't we?

All the success has gone to her hair:P

Who: Malaika Arora Khan, Shraddha Kapoor

Malaika brings some serious ooomph to the red carpet in a black, metallic Herve Leger. Red lips and silver accessories completed to her look. Looks like the dress is spray-painted on her:-)
Shraddha opted for a more demure, girly look in a black/pink dress. I like what I have been seeing on Shraddha lately. Some fresh blood in town!!

Who: Priyanka Chopra, Prachi Desai

Forget the disappointing dresses ( disappointing is a mild word for what Prachi has worn). If these nitwits cant even figure out what shoes to wear with these outfits, they really should quit show business!! This is red carpet and I am a deeply superficial person.

Anushka is pretty as hell but so boring. Being a former ramp model, she should know what to wear on the red carpet.
Rani looks like a lampshade. One dress, two ways!!

Green with Envy

Who: Preity Zinta, Neha Dhupia, Malaika Arora Khan
Where: Gillette STOP the PMS event

I have only one word for this post : love, love, love. The color and draping of Neha's dress is jaw dropping. Its kinda neon but she so pulls it off. I wish Neha had pulled her back so we could have a better view of the dress.
Malaika is smashing in that gorgeous peacock print dress. I bet she just rolls out of bed looking like this!
And Preity does look a little under-dressed but who cares:-)

And no, PMS is not Premenstrual Syndrome. Its 'Prickly Men Stub'!!

Black done two ways

Who: Malaika Arora Khan, Mona Singh
Where: Sets of "Jhalak Dikhla Ja"

Malaika's black dress is OTT and really bad and she makes it worse by pairing it with those silver/diamond jewelery. Mona fares much better in a beautiful black/gold anarkali dress. I would have preferred a slightly shorter length so that one could see the pants.

Who: Malaika Arora Khan, Shilpa Shetty, Dia Mirza

Who: Shilpa, Priyanka Chopra, Sophie Choudry

Who: Neha Dhupia, Sonam Kapoor, Katrina Kaif

Who: Ayesha Thapar, Minissha Lamba, Sushmita Sen

Best Dressed 2010 - Blue is the new black

After black, blue was a big favorite in bollywood.

Who: Shilpa Shetty, Soniya Mehra, Sushmita Sen

Who: Preity Zinta, Bipasha Basu, Sonam Kapoor

Looks of the day

Who: Madhuri Dixit, Malaika Arora Khan

Where: "Jhalak Dikla Ja" press meet

Clash of the titans or David and Goliath:-) Madhuri and Malaika, the judges in the new season of the dance show opted for very different looks at the press meet. 

Madhuri wore an orange-black half sari. The outfit is little OTT but she looks gorgeous!!

Malaika wore a strapless gown in soft, washed out fall colors. The gown is identical in design (not colors) to the Elie Saab Spring 2010 couture gown that Rachel McAdams wore to Oscars 2010. Totally digging her  floaty romantic look..

Who: Priyanka Chopra

Where: NDTV Greenies Eco awards

Priyanka is a picture of pure prettiness at the green awards. Is she out of her 'short dresses' phase and into saris? I am just glad she is giving us something new...Love the shade of green, the velvet border and the contrast with gold embroidery..

Who: Raageshwari

Where: Shaila welfare trust program 

Raageshwari wore a smartly tailored schoolboy blazer with jeans and pumps. I like the length and the super-snug fit of her jacket. It gives her a very streamlined silhouette. Of course, I would have preferrred if she had not worn the silver buckle belt..

Who: Aanchal Kumar, Guest

Where: Tassel Style lounge party

I love sequins but dislike rompers..hmm, cant make up my mind about Aanchal's outfit:p

The guest wore a beautiful colored gown with teal straps. I do like it but its too Spring for me..maybe in few months:-)

Who: Guest

Where: Tassel style lounge party

Shiny corkscrew hair, smoky eyes, stunning red goddess dress - whats there not to like?

Who: Preity Zinta

Where: Court appearnance for IPL, Humsafar trust event

Preity doing what she does best - looking all cute and adorable!! Ignoring the peep-toes. You should know by now that when it comes to Preity, I am totally fashion blind..

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.
