Weekend Round - The beautiful, the baffling and the bewildering

Who: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Where: Teachers Achievement awards

Aishwarya in another hideous outfit by Manish Malhotra. The anarkali is not bad but it looks like she misplaced the orginal dupatta/scarf and grabbed something of her way out - looks very disjointed with the rest of the dress.

Have been reading a lot of glowing reviews of her performance in "Guzaarish". Should I brave the cold, rainy weather to watch this movie??

Who: Kareena Kapoor
Where: "Golmaal 3" success party

Kareena wore a bright green asymmetrical dress which she thankfully paired with subdued accessories - gold peep-toes and woven clutch. Love the color - perfect for the coming Xmas parties but didnt like the shape or style of the dress. Thumbs down to her hairstyle too..

Who: Soha Ali Khan
Where: "Golmaal 3" success party

How cute is her romantic, ruffled top? The thin, black edging looks so polished and I love the way she balanced her voluminous top with a tailored skirt for an outfit that is sweet and simply chic.

Who: Kangana Ranaut
Where: "No problem" promotions

It really baffles me when celebs dont get their foundation color right!! Isn't that basic of makeup? sigh...
Kangana wore a black Dolce Gabbana floral dress which she completely ruined with the hair, makeup and shoes..

Who: Dia Mirza
Where: Teachers Achievement awards

I love fashion risk takers but that doesnt preclude me from making fun of them when they fall flat:p Yup, I am mean!!
This dress is what would result if you crossed a bat with a peacock!! Shoo, fly away!!

Who: Jacqueline Fernandez
Where: Teachers Achievement party, Teen magazine event

I like the color combination of the gown but the cheap trinket at the waist really kills it for me. I like Jacqueline better in her casual avatar where she is in a simple dress and flats.

Who: Esha Koppikar
Where: NGO child event

Esha in an outfit that can only have come from the "Robot" movie's costume garbage bin!!

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!!

Daily catch

Who: Kangana Ranuat
Where: Christian Dior Store launch

Kangana in a soft pink strapless dress at the CD store store launch. The dress is very feminine and the cut and fit of this dress is spot-on. And then we have those white shoes. She deserves a style slap on the wrist for wearing them...

Who: Suzzane Roshan
Where: Tod's collection Launch

Suzzane wore a watercolor-like print dress to the new collection launch. I like the loose fit and pastel colors of this dress even though it washes her out..The dress is dreamy and romantic and perfect for summer wear..

Left: Isha Koppikar, Center: Mana Shetty, Right Guest
Where: Tod's collection launch

Isha looks very boxy in that outfit. Her outfit looks like something people wear in one of those cheaply made science fiction movie.

Mana's necklace is bold and beautiful.

The guest wears one of my favorite fall colors. The deep red dress combined with gorgeous golden clutch and shoes make for an impeccable Christmas party outfit.

Events: Farah Khan Store Launch

I am going to be very lazy today and just posts the looks at this event. You guys tell me who was the best-dressed at the event and who needs to go to fashion rehab? I liked Dia and Farah and Amrita needs a stylist asap:-)

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!!

India International Jewellery Week - Day two

Who: Isha Kopikkar

Isha Koppikar walks the ramp for Dwarkadas Chandumal Jewellers in a hot pink number. Didn't quite like the ruffle draping on the gown and her necklace also doesn't rock my boat.

Who: Ayesha Dharker

Ayesha walked the ramp for Solitaire in a white gown and beautiful ruby and pearl drop necklace. I think I like traditional designs when it comes to jewelery:-)

You can see more pics of jewelery on the ramp here.

Fashion Faceoff

Left: Deepika at Lafangey Parindey press meet
Right: Isha at Mushtaq Sheikh's sister wedding

Both, Deepika and Isha, wore similar ivory outfits at different events. The ensembles look perfect for warm summer months. Deepika kept it simple whereas Isha added a ruby red clutch and ruby/diamond jewelery. I think they both look nice.

Who wore it better?
	Deepika
	Isha
	Both
	Neither

Style Diaries

Who: Lara Dutta
Where: Taiwan Excellence Press Meet

Is she gorgeous or what?? She is glowing in the second pic...As for Lara's saree, what an amazing concept!!!





You mop the floor while u walk!! A multi-tasking saree - how cool is that??...dammit, why didn't I think of this one!!

Who: Mugdha Godse
Where: Help movie premiere

Mugdha wore a one-shoulder dress in a quirky print to her new movie premiere. I usually love prints but there is something in the color combination that is throwing me off. Mugdha got her handbag and shoe right but then went on to add some really tacky neon green bangles. I bet those glow in the dark - the idea being to lure innocent people to her movie showing:-)

Who: Guest
Where: Help movie premiere

I love everything about the guest's look - the color, the draping, the bejeweled shoulders and her long necklace. I want!!

Who: Isa Koppikar
Where: With Akanksha children at Welspun showroom

Whats up with this trend of wearing scarfs with salvaar-suits? If Vidya and Rani could not pull off this look with Sabyasachi outfits, then chica, dont you think u are being a bit ambitious?

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..

Looks of the day

Who: Priya Chatwal
Where: (L) Aza's unveiling of new collection, (R) At her own launch of 'Kitsch' boutique

This is how I would do day/night if I had her bank balance.. At least she wore the same Christian Louboutin:-) I love the way her jeans are torn at the hem- so unexpected.. The dress on the right is from Lanvin, Spring 2010

Who: Rani Jethmalani
Where: Aza's unveiling of new collection

I think one of my blogger friends, Tanvii, is going to love this print as she is sooo into Paisley:-) Another dress that I would buy in a heartbeat along with the belt if not for the hemline.. The handkerchief hemline completely spoils it for me:-(

Rani is one of the top criminal lawyers in India..

Who: Isha Koppikar
Where: Aza's unveiling of new collection

I know, I know, I am so going to hell!!
