Looks of the day

Who: Shilpa Shetty
Where: IOSIS event for underprivileged kids

Shilpa wears one of the hottest trends of Spring, 2011 - colorblocking. The outfit colors are loud and pack a punch. Love the exposed zipper trend and the fluid draping of the skirt. The outfit is amazing, pity Shilpa got her accessories wrong..

Who: Madhoo
Where: Ritu Kumar's fashion show

Mixing prints can be tricky and most of the times comes across as trying too hard. But when done right, its fashion utopia! I love the Sabayasachi outfit that Madhoo is wearing. And with messy, bed hair, Madhoo gives it a very boho-chic vibe.

Who: Lara Dutta
Were: Ritu Kumar fashion event

Lara looks radiant in a tiered, strapless gown. Does her presence at the show mean she will be wearing Ritu Kumar for her wedding? I am sure Manish Malhotra is throwing a fit somewhere:-)

Who: Celina Jaitley, Gul Panang
Where: Cotton council meet, Ritu Kumar fashion event

Never knew Celina wore anything other than sarees! This is quite pretty. I hope its not once in a lifetime thing..

Another colorblocking dress, this time in geometric prints. Gul paired the dress with nude pumps and black clutch, giving the whole ensemble a very pulled together look.

Who: Bhagyashree
Where: Ritu Kumar fashion event

Not sure why Bhagyashree had to hide her lovely features under a shaggy dog haircut! But the dog is rather cute, so I really cant blame her for copying:p

Looks of the day

Who: Malaika Arora Khan
Where: Sahara Star New York party announcement

Malaika did the mini + blazer combo pairing a gold BCBG(??) dress with a black blazer and nude Loubs. Two things (i) Having never looked beyond her always-on-display-legs, I didn't realize she is quite pretty (ii) not sure I like black with this shade of gold..Shoes, I will take anyday.

Who: Urmila Matondakar
Where: Anita Dogre Store launch

Urmila wore a cute, printed one-shoulder dress to the store opening. Love the dress and the shoes make the orange in the dress pop out. Orange clutch - an overkill..
Looks like her hair stylist had a day off.

Who: Raveena Tandon, Tisca Chopra, Gul Panang
Where: Anita Dogre Store launch

Raveena - So many things messed up here. The waistband is too wide of her size, the dress too long and the shoes just plain wrong. BV clutch - always right.

Tisca - Love her Tod's Bauletto satchel and her perfectly polished look.

Gul - Too blinded by her red shoes to look at anything else..

Who: Mugdha Godse
Where: Herbalife launch

Ooh la la, That is a great look on Mugdha! She is uber-fancy in a cream gown with sheer overlay skirt. The gold embellishment at the neck is a nice touch and I love the way the skirt flows. You like?

Jacqueline - Lets just admire her shoes and move on..I mean, seriously how high has she worn her shorts? The look - Baboon or Buffoon ?

Mandira - Cant think of one nice thing to say:P
Wait a sec, Isnt the hand the symbol of one on the major political party (Congress-I)?? If I were the leader of that party, I would be really worried..

So who do you think was best dressed today?

Blenders Tour - day 2

On the Ramp

Left: Malaika Arora-Khan, Right: Jacqueline Fernandez

Malaika and Jacqueline walked the ramp on day 2 for Mandira Wirk.

With va-va-voom legs like that, I really dont think anyone was looking at what Malaika was wearing:-) I bow to her hotness!!

I like the gentle shading on Jacqueline's gown but not the asymmetrical hemline..

Designer Mandira Wirk with Malaika and Jacqueline

Mandira was a showstopper in the true sense. She wore a gown in fire-engine red and looked like a glamorous Greek goddess. I love the ruffled hemline of her gown and the delicate draping of the top adds an element of sweetness to a slit up to there bottom.

Off-Ramp

Left: Malaika Arora Khan, Right: Mugdha Godse

Both, Malaika and Mughda, wore silver metallic minis to the show - I think both are wearing Mandira Wirk. I prefer the color of Malaika's dress. Other than that, both dresses have too much going on..

Left: Gul Panang, Middle: Mandira Bedi, Right: Guest

I have been watching too much Animal Planet since Gul's print reminds me of Moth wings and Mandira's dress reminds me of butterfly wings:-) Mandira face/hairstyle is frozen in time and Gul gaze is going to turn all the onlookers into stone...

I liked the whimsical water color print on the guest's dress but wish she had not worn such neon yellow shoes...

Daily Catch

Who: Minissha Lamba
Where: Swarovski Gem show

What's not to like? Minissha wears one of the hottest Fall 2010 trend - brocade and hits all the right notes. She paired the blackish blue mini with deep teal shoes and clutch. A seriously elegant cocktail look...

Who: Deepika Padukone
Where: "Lafanget Parindey" promotions

Deepika went for a casual look with short kurti and skinny jeans. This is a very typical Deepika attire - she tends to prefer casuals vs a dressed up look. I like the kurti but it doesn't really go with the jeans.. What do you guys think? Yay or Nay?

Who: Isha Koppikar
Where: "Hello Darling" promotions

Even though the bag looks so out of proportion, Isha looks pretty smart and reasonable here - maybe its time for my eye examination!!

Who: Gul Panang
Where: "Hello Darling" Promotions

You...Off my planet!!

3 Idiots

Who: Gul Panag, Isha Koppikar, Celina Jaitely
Where: Hello Darling music release

All of us are entitled to be stupid. Unfortunately, some people tend to abuse this privilege:-)

Who: Celina Jaitely

We have been after Celina to change her hairstyle and this is what we get!! Neck up, she is a hot mess - looks like a drag-queen. She also needs to go one size up for the skirt. I do love the print on the top - reminds me a lot of D&G rose print of this season..I would love to see a dress in that print.

Who: Gul Panag

Miltary blazer - $50, Skinny jeans - $29.99, Necklaces - $9.99, Laughing so hard that water spurted from my nose - priceless..

Who: Isha Koppikar

Ok, Isha is not that bad. Her sequins bustier is sexy and I love the contrast between metallic grey and orange silk. Her skirt has a terrible fit and the shoes are a no-no..

Fashion Faceoff - Classic Khakis

Khakis are like jeans, they are never out of style. This year they had a major presence on the Spring 2010 runaways of Chloe, Blamain and Celine. Blazers, shirts, skirts, dresses even shoes and bags are sporting the Khaki look and color. I have worn a lot Khaki pants but this year I am looking for the perfect shirt dress.

Left: Gul Panag, Right: Unidentified guest:-)
Where: AND Shop for change event

Gul and Guest, both wore Khaki dresses to the event. I liked the Guest's dress better; she also paired it with really cute shoes..
