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...

Style diaries

Who: Dia Mirza
Where: Zangoora Kingdom of Dreams opening

Dia looks elegant and classy in a white ensemble. It appears to be anarkali and the dress has lots of lovely details - all -over-embroidery, silver embellishments at the hemline and in dupatta/scarf - that makes this simple outfit more interesting.

Who: Mandira Bedi
Where: Launch of 212 perfume

Isnt her itsy-bitsy top/choli stunning?? And the soft pink is just the perfect shade of pink to go with the gold sequins. Mandira in her famous noodle-strap blouses..Is it cricket season??
btw, Mandira's clavicles are sharp enough to be classified as weapons:-)

Who: Suchitra Pillai
Where: Short film festival at Versova

WTH??That outfit is one nasty thing. What made Suchitra wear those jeans?? The top sans the jeans could have worked with those shoes...

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.

Spotted around town

Who: Prachi Desai
Where: Launch of JW Marriott Glamour show

The dress was okay but that horrifying neckline!! Prachi needs to be sent to fashionista rehab, asap.

Who: Shobhaa De
Where: Falmboyante Dinner

The pink is too gaudy with the black, the white cuff and the pearls just dont flow..But, this ensemble is so mismatched and far-out that I kid u not, like it!!

Note to self: Dont drink and write:-)

Who: Nandita Mahtani

Where: Launch of Barcode 53

Nandita is effortlessly chic in a delicate slip-like dress at the launch of a lounge. The romantic ruffles are a spot-on seasonal trend and she teams the dress with dainty strappy shoes..

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Who: Jacqueline Fernandez
Where: Gillette Mach3 India gaming Championship 2010

Love the architectural pleats and the color of this dress abut Jacqueline had to spoil it with those shoes..

Who: Neha Dhupia
Where: Gaurav Gupta Aza event

After seeing Neha in one flawless appearance after another, this one is really boring and disappointing. Something is really throwing me off..too matchy?? pant color??

Who: Kangana Ranaut
Where: (L) Eclipse special screeing, (R) Once upon a time screening

Going to movies is not a major thing but still Kangana could have tried harder than just wearing her Grandma's clothes...

Style diaries

Who: Koel Puri
Where: Broken News book launch

Koel's ruffle sleeve top makes a major style statement and she pairs it with the cutest two-tone shoes. I would have picked a different handbag but she looks very polished. We have a winner here..

Who: Neha Dhupia
Where: Mystery shampoo launch

Fabulousity overload!! Seriously, this woman can do no wrong. Not sure what I love most about this appearance - her shiny, glamorous hair or the dress color or the stunning design..

Who: Urmila Matondkar
Where: Launch of Areopagus Spa

I haven't seen Urmila in long time and she isn't really rocking here. Other than the color, I am not sure I like anything about her outfit.

Who: Aishwarya Rai
Where: Sightseeing in Rome

Aish plays it safe in a simple but cute dress paired with a blue handbag and white kitten heels. She is dressed down but still looks pretty..

Who: (L) Soha Ali Khan, (R) Laila Khan

Who: (L)Jacqueline Fernandez, (R) Sophie Choudry

Where: Manav Gangwani show at Delhi Couture week

I like Jacqueline's outfit best. Sophie's outfit is not very well tailored - something odd about the fitting. Seeing Soha after a loong time too and she scores in a bronze sari with a thin golden border. Laila's outfit deserved better shoes..

Shop the Star style - Colorblock dress

Who: Deepika Padukone
Where: Lafangey Parindey press meet

I have been lusting after colorblock dresses ever since I saw Carrie Bradshaw wear this beautiful dress in SATC. This summer I saw a number of such dresses in stores, mainly in three colors. They look polished and also save me the hassle of finding tops for my skirts:-)

Deepika wore one such dress in a white/blue colors with some rather ugly shoes. I wish she had gone for a brighter color. Do like her sleek hairstyle...Here are some more cute options:

Left: Express ($56), Express ($49)

Left: edressme.com ($372), net-a-porter ($615)

Who wore it better?

Left: Koena Mitra at Waves Concert, Feb 2010
Right: Guest at Percept anniversary bash, July 2010

Do you like ur yellow with neon pink or silver? The dress is bright and perky and I would go with silver - the lesser of the two evils..

Who rocks the yellow dress?

Events: Lamhaa special screening

Who: Bipasha Basu

Bipasha wore a soft pink Anarkali to the screening of her new movie. She looks like a barbie doll and I do love the ultra girly dress and its gorgeous velvet bodice but a deeper shade of pink would have suited her better.

Who: Kangana Ranuat

After her last skanky appearance, there was no way to go but up and Kangana delivers. She looks fresh and cute in her drop waist blue dress. She kept her makeup simple and her hair out of her face and wore her best accessory - her smile..

Who: Sophie Choudry

I have never cared a rat's ass about what Sophie wears but this outfit, whoa!! I love, love the draping of her LWD and how stunning is the belt? She also got the shoe and clutch right!! Did she change her stylist:-) Very classy and sophisticated..

LBD or LGD

Left: Suchitra Pillai at an art exhibition at Zoya
Right: Mandira Bedi at Tod's launch

Suchitra wore a glam Little Gold Dress (LGD) that really needs no accessories. She looks like a bronzed goddess with her perfect nude makeup..

We are seeing a lot of Mandira on the red carpet - is her movie coming out or is she just unemployed?? Anyways, Mandira wore a very unusual LDB with exquisite lace overlayed on the top half part. I think the dress deserved more formal shoes like peep-toes..

So whats its gonna be this time - LBD or LGD?

Style Diaries

Who: Rani Mukherjee
Where: Peepli Live music launch

Someone has caught the jumpsuit bug - its her second one in a row! Even though Rani choose a dull color and her bandaged toe is an eyesore, there is something in her face/smile that makes her look very charming and vulnerable. The more I look at the pic, the more I like it..Her smile is working on me:-)

Who: Priyanka Chopra
Where:'A Calmer You' Book Launch

30, going on 13 or Dayum, her legs are hot!! hmmm, Priyanka may have the legs for it but this looks very teenagerish - Not that there is anything wrong in that. I too want to wear Suri Cruise's adorable clothes:-) I think if her skirt was a little longer, it would have looked better. What do u guys think?

Who: Rhea Kapoor
Where: Promoting Aisha at Radio City 91.1 FM

If someone had covered Rhea's face, I would have sworn its Sonam. Both sisters dress alike and even their postures are similar. I like the fact that Rhea did not go for a black blazer but added brightness to the outfit with her mustard one. Rhea, you need to next steal ur sister's hairstylist!

Who: Celina Jaitley
Where: Times movie guide event

Celina wore a stunning saree in sea green shades to the Times movie event. It so summery chic..I wish she had worn a different blouse - the current one is clashing with the saree. Her taste in saree has improved ( I am in a state of shock!!), now can someone please get her to change her hairstyle/smoky eye makeup?? yup, not happening in our lifetime..

Spotted around town

Who: Uvika Chaudhry
Where: Dr. Purnima Mhatre lounge event

Uvika makes me want to wear polka dots:-) She looks cute and adorable in her red top and matchy shoes. I love the collar on the top - its so retro..What do u guys think - way too coordinated or perfectly styled?

Who: Mandira Bedi
Where: Priyasri Patodia Art Exhibition

Mandira wore a color block dress which is completely spoiled by her choice of accessories. To be fair, this dress is a little difficult to style. hmmm, Nude peep-toes?? How would you wear this dress?? I would love to know ur choice of shoes and bag...

Who: Mini Mathur
Where: Premiere of 'Knight and Day'

Ok, no more styling questions:-) Its Friday evening and I am sure all our brains have stopped functioning...

This is one of prettiest floral print I have seen and the asymmetrical style just makes it perfect for a hot summer night. Mini wore the dress with black t-straps. Another example of K.I.S.S - Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Style Watch

Mad about plaid

Who: (L) Sophie Choudary, (R) : guest
Where: Diesel Launch party

Both wore cute plaid dresses but I like Sophie's better since she also rocks the 'zipper on the outside' trend.. Cant believe both wore peep-toes and similar clutches:-)

Asymmetrical white dress

Who: Guests
Where: Priya Chatwal Kitsch launch

The dresses are perfect for a hot summer night party!! Cant say the same for the tacky looking accessories..I love the delicate, black edging on the left dress and it has an interesting hemline. The right dress drapes perfectly and has a cute snake on the shoulder..hmmm, never thought 'cute' and 'snake' would be together in the same sentence:-)
