Celebs at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2011

Who: Kareena Kapoor

Having see Manish Malhotra's collection at the fashion week, I think Kareena could have chosen a more "visually, stunning" piece to wear. This one is nice but not really breathtaking. She does a have lovely back!

Who: Shamita Shetty

Love the fusion of east and west - the Banarsi border on a modern silhouette. The color is also very eye pleasing and I think I have started liking Shamita more than Shilpa on the red carpet. Both sisters still need to fix their accessorizing.

Who: Sonali Bendre

The color block dress with two pastel colors is just divine. A touch of embellishments on the neckline gives it a sophisticated touch. The black/white outfit is also nice but I didnt like the bling-y belt.

Who: Sophie Choudry

Sophie gets it right on both occasions sticking to simple, sexy dresses. I heart her black/gold shoes in the second pic. I Want!

Who:Jacqueline Fernadez, Narmaada Ahuja

Both, Jacqueline and Narmaada, wore outfits by Masaba at the presentation of her collection at Lakme Fashion week, 2011.
Which one did you like better? hmm, I will go with Narmaada's outfit becoz the addition of dupatta/scarf makes her outfit look more elegant.

Who: Monica Dogra, Mansi Scott

Both dresses are lovely but Mansi spoils her outfit with really bad choice of shoes and bag.

Looks of the day

Who: Shriya Saran
Where: Sunidhi Chauhan dinner party

I like! Adding the belt was a smart move since it breaks up the pattern and also gives definition. Hair and makeup is perfect.

Who: Lisa Haydon, Shazahn Padamsee
Where:Arctic Vodka Launch

Thats an interesting take on LBD. I think its pretty sexy and wish she had gone for red lips and less boring shoes.

I didnt like Shazahn's dress when she wore it earlier and I dont like it now.

Who: Sophie Choudry, Madhoo
Where: Arctic Vodka launch

Sophie - Nothing earth-shattering - safe and boring.
Looks like Madhoo was out running errands and just walked into the event. The outfit is cute but way too causal for a night event.

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!

Red Carpet Event:Stardust awards 2011

Who: Anushka Sharma, Sonakshi Sinha

Anushka is elegant and lethal in a beautifully draped dress. I havent seen Anushka in a gown and she looks incredibly alluring in this color. Thankfully, she didnt add any necklace and kept it simple with silver earrings.
Sonakshi does love this style since she already owns this dress in mustard yellow. The pulled back hair, silver pumps - all give it a very sophisticated, chic look. Two thumbs up to the lovely color.

Who: Amrita Puri, Mehr and Arjun Rampal, Twinkle Khanna

Amrita wore a dusty pink, bodycon dress. I think the dress is rather cute with the over-sized flower but not happy with her shoe choice.
Its impossible to get a clear picture of what Mehr is wearing since she is clinging to her husband in very shot. Seeing how delicious Arjun looks, I can hardly blame her!
Twinkle wore an asymmetrical silver dress, teamed with silver shoes and earrings. I wish she had gone one size up becoz right now she looks tightly wrapped in a silver foil!

Who: Suzanne Roshan, Prachi Desai, Shraddha Kapoor

Like the streamlined look of Suzanne's dress and its a pity we cant clearly see the McQueen skull clutch.
Prachi - OMG, who did this to you??It should be a crime for anyone to step out in such a horrific outfit.
Shraddha - The skirt is very interesting and would have worked with a simple tank top. The clutch is too shiny for me.

Who: Neha Dhupia, Sophie Choudry

Neha wore a yellow/black Shane and Falguni outfit. Its a very striking dress and I think she does justice to this dress with her sleek, shiny hair and smokey eyes.
I love everything about Sophie's dress but wish someone more interesting had worn it.

Who: Rani Mukerjee, Sonali Bendre, Kajol

Black/gold is a very safe and boring combination on the red carpet. But the addition of the red blouse/top, upgrades this look. Smart choice, Rani.
I like how Sonali added a skinny belt to her red saree resulting in a silhouette different from a normal saree. I just wished she had worn a less glitzy top.
Kajol is one of my favorite actress but her dress choices really confound me!

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??

Eevnts:No One Killed Jessica movie premiere

Who: Rani Mukherjee

Rani wore a showstopping orange-red Donna Karan dress to the premiere that she paired with gold cut out pumps and a gold necklace. The hair and makeup looks beautiful but the dress could not be more unflattering. The fit is awful and the draping is sloppy. Other than the eye-popping color, there is nothing I like here:-(

Who: Vidya Balan

Yikes, whats up with all this bridal red sarees on red carpet? First, Deepika wore it to "Khelein hum Jee Jaam se" premiere and now Vidya. It would have been better if Vidya had stuck to her predictable Sabyasachi sarees.

Who: Kalki Koechlin, Chitrangada Singh

After all that red, Kalki is like a breath of fresh air - understated but chic in a cream saree with all-over leaf motifs which she teamed with a multi-stranded pearl strings.

A misstep by the always fabulous Chitrangada. She wore a Tarun Tahiliani anarkali which really doesnt work becoz of the wide belt. Hand her a sword and she looks ready to do battle!

Who: Shazahn Padamsee, Shraddha Kapoor

Shazahn sticks to cutesy safe formula and gets it right in a leather-velvet dress that fits her beautifully.

I like how Shraddha put together her outfit. She works a couple of popular trends here ( boyfriend blazer and floral top) but makes it look fresh.

Who: Amrita Rao, Kiran Rao

Amrita outfit would have been perfect if she had chosen a brighter color - not the fiery red which seems to be a favorite nowadays but something more youthful.

Kiran wore a delightful Prada Spring 2010 RTW jacket that totally goes with her quirky dressing sense. Its high-time she changed her hairtyle.

Who: Sophie Choudry, Sunita Gowariker

Love the color of Sophie's dress but the look is pretty ho-hum.

Sunita's silk top is fabulous with a luxe feel to it but such a wrong choice of footwear!!

Best Dressed 2010 - LBD

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

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.

Events: Baba Dewan's bday party

Who: Shilpa Shetty, Shamita Shetty

This is going to one of the rare occasion where Shamita is looking better than her sis, Shilpa. Love, love her printed dress.
If anybody can rock a Herve Leger bandage dress, its super fit Shilpa bad but her cheap trinkets spoil the look for me. Dont miss her "SSR" monogrammed sleazy clutch..

Who: Kangana Ranuat, Sophie Choudry

Kanaga's metallic outfit is cute but the shoes are a downer. And Sophie, you did good girl!! The figure-hugging dress, the shoes and the accessories are all working.

Who: Malaika Arora Khan, Laila Khan, Natasha Fardeen Khan

Dayum, Malaika manages to make an unforgiving, clingy leather pants look amazing!!

Laila's outfit is cute - not sure why she wrapped a raccoon around her waist.

Natasha shines in her grey-black stripe dress. I would have preferred kitten heels with such a short dress..

Who: Parvathi Melton, Riya Sen

Totally crushing on the color of Parvathi's dress. The draping and the material give the outfit a very luxe look..Perfect for holiday season.

Riya - Beautiful girl, great dress, atrocious accessories..

Who: Neeta Lulla, Natasha Zayed Khan

You can never go wrong in a simple sheath dress and pumps. Neeta is super trendy in a snake print dress that fits her perfectly.

Love the color of Natasha's outfit and she got the shoes right!! A big feat in our accessories blind bollywood:-)

Events: Global Indian Music awards

Who: Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi wore a champagne colored dress for the event. The print is a little busy but she smartly kept her accessories simple. This could have been a good look other than the fact that she seems to be mushing out of the top of her dress around the armpits..

Who: Sophie Choudry

Sophie from USS Enterprise, Star Trek. Finally, proof that Sophie is indeed from outer space. Beam me up, Scottie!!

Left: Akruti Kakkar, Right: Popsicle

Tough choice!! hmmm, this fashion round goes to...the yummy Popsicle!!

Left: Hard Kaur, Right: Sunidhi Chauhan

Its hard to ignore Hard's 70's ugly bouffant but love her outfit and her quirky shoes.

Yes, Sunidhi is wearing velvet pants but the color composition of her outfit is very classy and attractive. Ditch the beads and we are talking.

Who: Dia Mirza

This looks like a fabulous-tastic gown. And this is the best pic:-) Will upload full-length pics once they become available...
