Events: Hello magazine Hall of fame event

Who: Deepika Padukone

That is one gorgeous necklace!! I wish I could say the same about Deepika's dress. The skirt is soo big and puffy that I bet it can be used as a parachute in case of emergency!! I do like the concept of bows but it is not well executed.

Who: Kareena Kapoor

Looks like Kareena got dressed in a hurry - she just grabbed her bedsheets and added some drapes and a skinny belt!! The color of her dress is nice..

Who: Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar

Honey, you are supposed to keep your guy on a leash not yourself!!

Who: Kangana Ranaut

You have to see a lot of ugly dresses before you get a beautiful one!! Love the dress and I am really mad at Kangana for spoiling it with those shoes!!

Who: Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya wore a blue Elli Saab Spring 2010 dress to the event. Will have to wait for full length pics to see how she killed another couture dress:-)

Who: Sonali Bendre

Sonali looks chic in a beautifully embroidered (kahmiri) salvaar suit. She wisely lets her dress take center-stage and kept her accessories to the minimum.

A post of few words...

Who: Deepika Padukone
Where: Rahul Bose sports auction

We are having such a decent run on the red carpet but I guess the call of the bridesmaid dresses was too strong to resist!! And is having target practice pattern on your chest the fashion this year?? Its not on mine but please shoot me!!

Who: Raima Sen
Where: Mansoor Khan makeup lounge launch

Someone, somewhere is missing a tablecloth!!

Who: Koel Puri
Where: Rahul Bose sports auction

Talk about making a dramatic entrance and exit!! Exactly what a dress should do for a woman:-)

Who: Guest
Where: Rahul Bose sports auction

Elegant and chic - I like!!

Blue is the new black

Who: Sonam Kapoor
Where: BBC "Knowledge" magazine launch

Sonam wore an inky-blue peplum dress to a magazine launch. The dress is just perfect on her and the ruffle at the waist delicately accents Sonam's long and lean frame. She paired the dress with silver metallic peep-toes and shiny, side-swept hair...Love!!

Who: Malaika Arora Khan
Where: Gillette 30 day challenge

Malaika in a blue one-shoulder Grecian dress with metallic embellishments which perfectly compliment her willowy figure. Since she was wearing such a notice-me color, Malaika kept the rest of her look simple and opted for a classic pair of silver peep-toe pumps.

Who: Neetu Chandra
Where: Mokssh wine launch

Neetu wore a strapless blue maxi-dress which she styled with a beautiful silver clutch and silver bell necklace. The accessories bring a sense of luxury to her otherwise plain-jane dress.Wish she had gone for better shoes and hairstyle!!

Deepika Padukone: Two looks, One day

Who: Deepika Padukone
Where: Kingfisher Calendar event

Deepika's color of the day was pinkish-nude and she did two outfits - long and short:-) The draping is fabulous on both dresses but the first one is more classy and showcases her curves in a more sensuous way. Both outfits are screaming for accessories - bib necklaces, bracelets or glitzy clutches.. Do love her red aviators but that dress needs different shoes..

Its a famine of color!!

Who: Chitrangada Singh
Where: Roopa Vohra collection launch

Chintrangada's outfit is nothing to write home about but what really caught my eye was her pendant and perfectly coiffed big hair..The pendant is not very tasteful and I am going to leave it that...Her hair and makeup is perfect for a big shindig..

Who: Bipasha Basi
Where: Vera Moda model auditions

Bipasha finally experimented with her hair and its....... bad!! Why did she style her hair into a turban (Tipu Sultan, anyone)? And she can afford to wear real black pearls - why did she pile on these tacky plastic beads? and why did she wear such manly shoes?

Its very important to ask 'why' becoz without scientific curiosity we would not have scientific discovery. And today's scientific discovery is --- money doesnt buy you style!!

Who: Sophie Choudry
Where: Madame showroom opening

That a very interesting take on LDB with the belt and neck in the same print. I have a feeling its DIY - Sophie has taken a strapless LDB and tied a long scarf around her waist and then around her neck with the knot behind her neck..All you, DIY Queens, let me know if this works and how it looks..

I am not going to try since I am quite capable of strangling myself!!

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...

Who: Sushmita Sen

Who: Shilpa Shetty

Who: Bipasha Basu

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

Looks of the day

Who: Sonali Bendre
Where: Omega watches fashion show

Sonali in a lovely shade of purple. Neck up, she looks fresh and pretty. The dress has a lot going on the top -lots of pleats, ruffles and sweetheart neckline. It is really isn't that bad except somehow I get the feeling she is wearing body armor. Seriously, if the hemline was higher, I could have sworn its Xena, the warrior princess!!

Who: Shilpa Shetty
Where: Auditioning for models for Vera Mode show

I really like Shilpa's top here that she paired with skinnies and some ugly shoes. The addition of vest was a smart move and the necklace adds some color. Nice fringed bag..

Who: Minissha Llamba
Where: MAMI film festival

White with sequins is tricky to pull off and there is a fine line between looking tacky and looking spectacular. Minissha is right in the middle..She wears it well but there is a punch missing. Have to credit her for getting the hair and earrings right..

Left: Isha Koppikar, Right: Guest
Where: Maheka Mirpuri preview

Isha - The scarf/duppata is great, the oufit is nice but together they are so OTT...

Guest - Leopard print, layered chains, studded bag, gladiator shoes. Girlfriend is a walking catalog of Fall 2010 trends!!

Style Diaries

Who: Chitrangda Singh
Where: "Yeh Sali Zindagi" Film launch

Chitrangda is a picture of pure prettiness in this drapey, greenish-teal dress. Glossy, shiny hair and nude shoes complete the look. She is having a good run on the red carpet - wonder what she will wow in next?

Who: Rani Mukerjee
Where: Various Durga puja events

Of the two saris that Rani wore to different events, I love the white/gold one. Rani is a picture of elegance and sophistication in that sari which she perfectly accessorized it with stunning gold jewelery.

The first sari looks like a Sabyasachi and has too much going on at once. The mix of prints as well as color makes it very busy although neck up Rani looks lovely.

Who: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Where:Zee TV "Action Replayy" diwali event

Aiswharya wore Manish Malhotra outfits to the Zee TV event. I like the color of the first one but the blue panel at the hemline ruins the outfit. The second outfit has dark, dull colors but looks OTT becoz of the gold embroidery. Most importantly, she need to fix her hair color!! It looks fake and ages her..

Left: Amrita Rao at AD Singh Sangeet
Center: Minissha Lamba at AD Singh Sangeet
Right: Carol Garcias at JCB salon launch

Ladies in red!! Given that fact that the first two outfits are for a Sangeet ceremony, I would say all of them are looking pretty decent. What I can get over is Carol Garcias hair!!
Did she get pranked by her hair stylist?? Seriously, it looks like she has a nest on her head!! or is it roadkill??

Style Roundup

Who: Priyanka Chopra
Where: Unveiling of Nokia's new phone

The jumpsuit trend is still going strong in Bollywood with Priyanka now wearing it in one of the hottest colors - army green. I like the way she layered it with black camisole and vest. But there is something about the length that is really putting me off..

Who: Kangana Ranaut
Where: Screening of "Knock-out"

Kangana's hair looks so weird as if she stuck her finger in an electrical socket and got buzzed!! Hon, the "slightly messy, undone hair" look requires lots of styling products and a team of hair-dressers - did u really think you can just get and go???

Who: Mallika Sherawat
Where: At dandia event

Its very difficult to recognize Mallika with no boobs or legs exposed:-) She covers it well in a pretty anarkali and the look is sweet and feminine..How cute is she when she is not trying so hard??

Who: Soha Ali Khan
Where: At The Man Valhalla party

Soha pops in a red maxi-dress that is all punchy and bright. This is great dress but falls flat with no accessories. Some stacked bangles would have looked great...

The shoe diaries

Who: Shahzahn Padamsee
Where: 212 perfume launch

Shahzahn takes accessories to the next level - the dress was ok but the addition of belt and clutch makes the whole outfit look tacky. The blue pumps are pretty on their own but are very distracting with the dress..

Who: Nishika Lulla
Where: 212 perfume launch

Nishika wore a cute ethnic printed skirt which she teamed with a tee and denim vest. I like the color combination of her outfit but again find the shoes too mismatched..Since there are so many colors in her outfit, nude pumps would have looked best..

Daily Catch

Who: Jacqueline Fernandez
Where: Smirnoff nightlife party

Jacqueline wore a deep purple strapless dress to the Smirnoff event. Rarely do we get to see this color!! I like the silk thread embroidery and the dress hits her at the right length. This could have been a winner but the cropped cardigan was a wrong decision and kills it for me.

Who: Neha Dhupia
Where: Smirnoff nightlife event

Neha attended the Smirnoff nightlife event in a bright pink drop-waist dress. Her look is chic and simple but is sorta ho-hum...Maybe she should have spiced it up with some ankle length edgy "masculine" boots..

Who: Malaika Arora Khan
Where: At Radio City

Malaika looks daring and demure in tailored grey shorts worn with an ivory colored shirt. By incorporating a slightly fancy fabric into her look, Malaika manages to make her outfit look chic and sophisticated rather than casual..I love her heart pendant but the shoes are a bad choice (bummer)..She really, really loves this golden wedges and has worn them previously, here and here.

Predictability is the name of the game

Who: Priyanka Chopra
Where: At the launch of her website

Priyanka like Vidya is getting pretty predictable . She is in a style rut with these multi-layered necklaces and mini dresses. For this appearance, she just swapped the mini-skirt for a romper. The romper is pretty bland but how cute are her bow shoes...

Who: Bipasha Basu
Where: Kohler Pressure Play contest

Nothing says glamorous movie star like a hot dress and gorgeous shiny curls:-) Bipasha in another one of her tight/short dresses. As I mentioned before, she tends to favor one-shoulder or strapless dresses - cant blame her, she does have pretty toned arms/shoulders. She paired this bright dress with an equally bright red shoes... Yellow with red - a do or a dont?

Events: Birthday bash hosted by Salman Khan

Arpita Khan( Salman's sister and the birthday girl)
Sonakshi Sinha
Sherlyn Chopra

All, Arpita, Sonakshi and Sherlyn, wore cute LBDs to the b'day celebrations. Arpita looks chic, Sonakshi looks girly-cute and Sherlyn goes for the sexy look..

Who: Malaika Arora-Khan

Malaika pretty much rocks everything she wears, including this sequins mini-dress. Cute coolored Bottega Veneta clutch but it doesnt go with this dress neither do the shoes..

Who: (L) Minissha Lamba, (R) Zarine Khan

Minissha also went the black route and wore a sequins jacket with her dark jeans. I like her look and those silver shoes have my name written on them:-)

Zarine kept it really simple with a blue top and black skinnies. She caught my attention only becoz of the gorgeous sequins Union Jack clutch..love!!

Daily dose of Sonam & Aisha gang

Who: (L) Rhea and Sonam, (R) Sonam and Ira
Where: Bangalore Aisha promotions

Sonam wore a floral dress in B'lore which she paired with her trusty CD bag. Looks like she is making the CD bag her Aisha signature bag. I love her hair on the right but still on the fence regarding her jacket dress. What do you think of Ira's dress? I totally like it. She is turning out be quite a fashionista..

The floral dress on left is from Miss Selfridge - Thanks to Postcolonial Rabbit for the ID. It retails for around $70..

Who: Sonam Kapoor
Where: Outside Vie lounge

Sonam in a CD dress (ID - pinkvilla) which she teamed up with a Chanel bag and blush pumps. Like the shoes but a ho-hum dress..

Who: Sonam Kapoor

Thats one gorgeous lehenga - love the colors!! As per her tweet, Sonam wore the dupatta South Indian style, like a half sari. One of her very few appearances in an Indian outfit but she carries it pretty well..what do u guys think? a winner?
