Feeling no love

Who: Sushmita Sen
Where: "I am She" NGO event

Ok, I love Sushmita as much as you do guys, but she is making it very difficult for me to say anything nice here. The dress is terrible to say the least and she overdosed on the bronzer, too:-(

Who: Lara Dutta
Where: "Challo dilli" promos

Lara (another fav. of mine) does "I dream of Jeannie"!

Looks of the day

Who: Sushmita Sen
Where: Khushii Fundraiser

Sushmita's outfit color is quite different in both the pics. Regardless of that, she looks stunning and very charming. My only question is velvet in hot Mumbai summer??

Who: Anushka Sharma
Where: IPL Godrej power play

Anushka layers neutral pieces to perfection proving neutrals are anything but blah. The outfit is not only tonally harmonious, it's also texturally interesting. However, the proportions of the outfit/pant seem to be a little off - I think it would have looked better if it was a full length pant.

Who: Koel Puri
Where: Wills Lifestyle Fashion Show

Beautiful dress but isnt Koel a little old to be wearing fluorescent shoes? Neon splendor or fluorescent failure? You tell me!

Spotted around town.

Who: Priyanka Chopra

Where: "Saat Khoon Maaf" promos

We have been seeing this silhouette a lot lately and I have mixed feelings about it. It always looks like the person has tied a cape around the waist. The color is beautiful against her skin tone and the shoes also work but it will take me sometime to get around this style.

Who: Sushmita Sen

Where: Marigold Fine art event

Havent seen the fabulous Ms Sen in a long time. Love her chic outfit - the black accent at the waist gives definition to the look and totally elevates it. This kind of clean, streamlined silhouette looks best with simple, unfussy shoes.

Who: Chitrangada Singh

Where: "Lets Design" finals

Its great to see celebs embracing bright bold colors. Chitrangada looks gorgeous in a red, strapless grecian gown. The only issue with this style is that you look pregnant if the photographer catches you at the wrong angle!

Who: Neha Dhupia

Where: Elle cup and IIFA promotional event

Neha in a lace dress at an event. I am trying to figure out whats goin on near her neck area. It looks very clumsy and spoils the dress. Doesn't the reflection in her sunglasses give her alien eyes?

Who: Shradda Kapoor

Where: Elle cup and IIFA promotional event

Bold color, great dress and an overpowering hairstyle! The ends of her plait looks like rat tails and all I can think about is that she has some dead animal on her head!!

Style roundup

Who: Sushmita Sen
Where: Unveiling of Saisha design lable by Shama Sikander

Sushmita keeps it simple in a white frilly top and skinny jeans at a store opening. The top isnt winning any points from me but she makes the whole thing work.

Who: Sonali Bendre
Where: Oral B promotions

Another white top and skinny jeans combination. Sonali looks gorgeous and stylish and by pairing a slim fitting top with her jeans, really plays up her slim silhouette. The only sore point is the plastic, tacky beads..

Who: Prachi Desai
Where: Oral B promotions

Looks like someone has a new stylist:-) Either that or someone has done an intervention becoz Prachi has stopped wearing her plain-Jane terribly bor-r-ring dresses. Next on Prachi's to-do list, a new hair stylist!!

Who: Shahzahn Padamsee
Where: First look at "Dil to baccha hai"

Love, love the color and jeweled neckline. Shahzahn styled her her lovely asymmetrical dress with gold accessories. She looks cute and fresh.

Who: Urmila Matondakar
Where: At a wedding

Urmila wore a really loong anarkali to a wedding recently. The color is nice and the velvet at the hemline gives it a luxe look. I would have preferred this without the ugly sleeves...

Lets keep this short and quick...

Who: Neha Dhupia
Where: "Obama phas gaye" audio release

For a min, I thought Neha is trying out for the Indian kabaddi team!! Then I saw the movie poster (in second pic) and realized she is "in character". Thanks for the preview, hon. Now I know which movie not to watch:-)

Who: Prachi Desai
Where: Music launch of "Kahan Mein Chala"

Looks like someone dressed in the dark! How else to explain the completely mismatched accessories? The dress itself is not that bad but trust Prachi to turn a good thing into a fashion faux-pas..Must be all the practice:p

Who:Mama Shetty, Shilpa and Shamita Shetty
Where: Diwali Party

Shilpa's outfit is very interesting - havent seen this vest-style of anarkali..The velvet border crap stuff is usually Manish Malhotra but this one is not that tacky. I like it.. Mom and sister look good too..

Who: Sushmita Sen
Where: "No problem" film mahurat

Sushmita is like a breath of fresh air in that elegant white outfit!! When you look this divine, its easy to forgive the cheap, showy gold shoes:-)

Events: Vera Moda fashion show

Sushmita, Shilpa, Bipasha and Dia walked the ramp for Vera Mode. All wore LBDs except for Shilpa who wore black satin skinnies. Shilpa also rocked a black military jacket. All look fabulous and the outfits are pretty wearable including Bipasha's which can be worn for clubbing..

Which outfit is your style? I can totally see myself wearing Shilpa's ensemble. Also, Dia's since she balances her sequins with a plain skirt...

Black Reign..

Who: Sushmita Sen
Where: Auditioning of models for Vera Mode fashion show

The Queen of Black, Sushmita in a black jumpsuit accessorized with a black belt and pumps. Love the bows on the dress and she looks great - one of the few good jumpsuits outfits..

Who: Priyanka Chopra
Where: Don2 press conference in Berlin

There are so many rumors going around regarding Priyanka getting a nose job that I cant but help scrutinize her nose instead of her outfit:-( I like her two-tone dress and shoes but not sure if they go together. What do you think about her nose, err, I mean outfit?

Who: Shamita Shetty, Deepti Gujral
Where: Rocky S Absolute Vodka bash

Shamita - Everything is good. Nothing to bitch about:-)

Deepti - Posted her outfit becoz I think the red shoes go with her black outfit ..

Which black/red combination works --Priyanka's or Deepti's?

Who: Bipasha Basu
Where:(L) ET awards, (R) "Jhoota Hi Sahi" screening

Bipasha in an outfit that has to be from the sales rack of Frederik's of Hollywood!! Sleazy and tacky!! Girlfriend, what were you thinking?

She fares much better in a coral dress with gorgeous draping. Love the pop of green bracelet!! I also like her hair in this pic..

Wait there is more:-)

I did a guest post for the lovely Sahi of barelyvogue.com. Its about getting Freida's look for less. Check it out at barelyvogue.com

HDIL couture week - Celebs for "Being Human"

Preity, Rani, Katrina, Susmita, Kapoor sisters, Priyanka and Bipasha walked the ramp for Salman's NGO foundation "Being Human". They all wore outfits designed by Manish Malhotra. The outfits represented different eras of bollywood fashion. They all then changed into "Being Human" tees.
Who do you think rocked the t-shirt best? I will go with Karishma...

Who: Preity Zinta

Who: Rani Mukherjee

Who: Katrina Kaif

Who: Bipasha Basu

Who: Karishma Kapoor

Who: Priyanka Chopra

Who: Sushmita Sen

Who: Kareena Kapoor

Salman Khan (the little girl is Susmita Sen's daughter)

A post of few words...

Who: Neha Dhupia
Where: HDIL day 3

New superhero from Marvel comics - " Bedsheet hero"

Who:Sushmita Sen
Where: Launch of Fiat Linea

Plus: Sushmita in something other than Black!! The top half is great..
Minus: Looks like the skirt was done by someone on a tight deadline. Some pieces randomly stitched together.

Left: Mallika Sherwat, Right: Mandira Bedi

Both in florals with sweetheart necklines. Its a no- brainer on who wore it better - Mandira shoes do her in..

Who: Twinkle Khanna
Where: At People's magazine "Best Dressed" issue

I think Twinkle should stick to black for sometime becoz since it looks like she has developed some sort of "print" blindness. See symptoms here and here. Let's stay safe and cute..

Blenders Tour - day 3

On the Ramp

Left: Sushmita Sen, Right: Sameera Reddy

Sushmita walked the ramp for Vikram Phadnis and Sameera walked the ramp for Neeta Lulla. Both the outfits are nothing short of breathtaking. By breathtaking, I mean so ugly that I actually forgot to breath!!

Left: Amrita Arora, Right: Malaika Arora Khan

Amrita played it safe by sticking to the same color family and the look is a little boring...Malaika balanced her sister by wearing the brightest colors in the spectrum. Too bad the shoes are so neon but from head to ankle she looks fab..

Left: Parvathi Melton, Right: Mandira Wirk

Fabulousity overload!! Parvathi and Mandira hit all the right notes in white/silver asymmetrical minis. Parvathi accessorized with gold clutch/peep-toes and Mandira did a matchy-match with silver sandals..

Left: Sona Mahapatra, Right: Guest

Both the prints caught my eye.
I wish Sona had taken a different bag - the black really clashes with the dress.
The guest looks uber-cool and chic in shorts and cute printed floral top..

Events: Queenie Singh's Party

Are you looking for something formal, in black, to wear? You don't need to look any further. The guests at Queenie Singh's party were gracious enough to model all possible black outfits for us. The fashion parade was lead by the reigning Queen of Black, Ms Sen herself.



Since I am too lazy to name the guests, now is the perfect time to have our first Pop quiz!! yay!! Whoever names all of them correctly, gets a.....

..big hug from me. Yes, I am cheap and no, flipping the finger will not get u a better prize..

Anyways, I am still trying to figure out why they all wore black. Could it be becoz they saw their hostess, Ms Singh and all color drained from their outfits. Here is Queenie wearing Joseph's technicolor dream coat.
