Looks of the day

Who: Rani Mukherjee
Where: P &G Shiksa school building event

Even though Rani is wearing the hottest color of the season, the outfit is not very exciting and it adds pounds to her slim silhouette. The color does look great on her.

Who: Lara Dutta
Where: "Chalo Dilli" Promotions

Lara looks deliriously happy but all I can think about is a big, fat slice of white wedding cake! If only this dress was made of cake:P

Who: Sushma Reddy
Where: Femina Miss India party

OMG, such gorgeous shades of blue. Beautiful bandage dress. Pity about the shoes and the hair.

Who: Shazahn Padamsee, Shraddha Kapoor
Where: Grazia party

Shazahn - This could have an great look if she had worn different colored shoes. The nude shoes although cute, just don't flow with the outfit.

Shraddha - Too bland, Too meh. Flat hair. No

Looks of the day

Who: Rani Mukherjee
Where: At De Beers event

Did you see the size of the diamond in Rani's hand in the last pic?If I am really, really good this year, will Santa get me that?
If not, can I have her dress? Isn't the color stunning? and the draping looks so sexy.

Who: Raveena Tandon
Where: Launch of Tommy Hilfiger childrenswear, Chandigarh

Stripes are another big trend this year and this Tommy nautical stripes dress is really cute. Raveena accessorized with a skinny belt and white shoes at the launch of Tommy Hilfiger's new store.

Blue Reign

Who: Karisma Kapoor, Raveena Tandon
Where: At the semi-final screening at Shahrukh's Mannat

Both, Karisma and Raveena, wore blue to support the Indian Cricket team at the Cricket World cup semi-finals. Karisma went the comfy route with velour jumpsuit and a drool-worthy blue Birkin. Raveena was polished in a silk shirt with jeans. I think they both look lovely. If India had lost, I am sure I would have said something else;-)

Who: Amrita Rao, Rani Mukherjee
Where: "Love U..Mr Kalakaar" promots, Novotel hotel

Amrita's dress is cute but I think its a wee bit long. Rani's dress is trendy but she has styled it pretty badly. Silver jewelry would have worked better than pearls and the hairstyle is just very un-sophisticated!

Who: Anushka Sharma, Suzanne Roshan
Where: Parachute oil shoot, At the semi-final screening at Shahrukh's Mannat

You really cant go wrong with blue and white skinny jeans, can you? Well, they both did with bad footwear. Ankle up, yay. Shoes, nay!

Weekend Roundup

Who: Sonam Kapoor
Where: Shahid Kapoor bday bash

Bed-sheet tied up with string or lovely grecian dress ?? You decide.

Who: Suzanne Khan
Where: At her "Charcoal project"

Suzanne kept it simple in a very feminine and flattering LBD in a classic silhouette - a close-fitted bodice and full-flare skirt nipped with a skinny belt. The pleating on the sleeve and tiers on the skirt add a new twist to the old classic. Love!

Who: Preity Zinta
Where: Suzanne Khan "Charcoal project"

Love is blind, so is adoration:-) I refuse to see Preity's washed out face or her common-place front-ruffle dress. I think she just rocks!!

Who: Katrina Kaif, Twinkle Khanna
Where: Suzanne Khan "Charcoal project"

Katrina succeeded in doing the impossible - making florals look as dull as the ditch water. And as if the dress wasn't depressing enough, Katrina paired it with drab brown accessories.
Twinkle also wore some dull colors but by adding a bright green bag and layered gold necklace, she totally elevated her outfit. All hail the queen of accessorizing!!

Who: Shilpa Shetty, Sophie Choudry
Where: Suzanne Khan "Charcoal project"

Wow, Shilpa's body is a work of art! Just one question - how do you sit in that dress or more importantly, breath?

A wraparound dress and a tulip hemline - both are my favorites and no wonder, I love Sophie's outfit. The color is great and I like her choice of accessories.

Who: Gauri Khan, Farah Ali Khan
Where: Suzanne Khan "Charcoal project"

Is that really you, Gauri? Gauri in something that is not bright orange, OTT or blinding us! And she is looking good! Gauri is hip and trendy in a masculine pants worn with a very feminine halter top. I just hope she keeps it up.
Farah also looks trendy in her slim cigarette pants worn with a loose white top and teamed with red clutch and red lips. Not sure about her hairstyle - I think its too teenagerish for such a sophisticated outfit.

Who: Rani Mukherjee, Genelia D'souza, Sonali Bendre
Where: Shahid Bday bash

Rani - Whoa, why is she so orange?Is she preparing to be a pumpkin in her next movie?
Genelia - Lacy leggings with a sheer blouse?? No one is that cute enough to make such an outfit work!
Sonali - She is having a serious relationship with bib necklaces and I am not complaining!

Spotted around town

Who: Kangana Ranuat
Where: "Tanu weds Manu" promos on "Jhalka Dikhla ja"

Nice! Kangana wore a bright, colorful anarkali while promoting her new movie. I love the jeweled neckline and for once Kangana doesnt have the "rolled out of bed" hair and makeup. The dress looks a little OTT but its anyday better than what Kangana usually wears!

Who: Rani Mukerjee
Where: Indian Stroke association event

I am crazy about pencil skirts - they are truly versatile and always trendy! They look good on all shapes and sizes if worn and accessorized properly. A must-have in every closet.
Rani paired her pencil skirt with a slightly loose, lace top for a clean, simple look.

Who: Ramona Narang, Madhoo
Where: Laila Khan furniture shop opening

Color contrast - yellow with blue or blue with reddish-pink? I am with Madhoo on this one.

Who: Sangeeta Bijlani
Where: Laila Khan furniture shop opening

One penguin to another: "Dude, I think I have found my soul mate!I am in love!"

What do you wear to a Bryan Adams concert?

Who: Deepika Padukone, Preity Zinta

Deepika and Preity went for a laid-back, causal look in jeans, tee and shoes. Both look great and I love their hairstyles.

Who: Rani Mukerjee, Madhoo, Amrita Rao

Rani, Madhoo and Amrita upgraded their basic jeans with some glitter and sequins. Not bad, but a clutch to a concert??

Who: Anushka Sharma, Minissha Lamba

Anushka went for a tights + blazer combo and Minissha opted for a tulip skirt paired with a tee.
I like when people mix black and brown but the shoes look a little off with the outfit.
The colors of Minissha's outfit are pretty but am not a big fan of skirts at rock concerts.

Red Carpet Event:Stardust awards 2011

Who: Anushka Sharma, Sonakshi Sinha

Anushka is elegant and lethal in a beautifully draped dress. I havent seen Anushka in a gown and she looks incredibly alluring in this color. Thankfully, she didnt add any necklace and kept it simple with silver earrings.
Sonakshi does love this style since she already owns this dress in mustard yellow. The pulled back hair, silver pumps - all give it a very sophisticated, chic look. Two thumbs up to the lovely color.

Who: Amrita Puri, Mehr and Arjun Rampal, Twinkle Khanna

Amrita wore a dusty pink, bodycon dress. I think the dress is rather cute with the over-sized flower but not happy with her shoe choice.
Its impossible to get a clear picture of what Mehr is wearing since she is clinging to her husband in very shot. Seeing how delicious Arjun looks, I can hardly blame her!
Twinkle wore an asymmetrical silver dress, teamed with silver shoes and earrings. I wish she had gone one size up becoz right now she looks tightly wrapped in a silver foil!

Who: Suzanne Roshan, Prachi Desai, Shraddha Kapoor

Like the streamlined look of Suzanne's dress and its a pity we cant clearly see the McQueen skull clutch.
Prachi - OMG, who did this to you??It should be a crime for anyone to step out in such a horrific outfit.
Shraddha - The skirt is very interesting and would have worked with a simple tank top. The clutch is too shiny for me.

Who: Neha Dhupia, Sophie Choudry

Neha wore a yellow/black Shane and Falguni outfit. Its a very striking dress and I think she does justice to this dress with her sleek, shiny hair and smokey eyes.
I love everything about Sophie's dress but wish someone more interesting had worn it.

Who: Rani Mukerjee, Sonali Bendre, Kajol

Black/gold is a very safe and boring combination on the red carpet. But the addition of the red blouse/top, upgrades this look. Smart choice, Rani.
I like how Sonali added a skinny belt to her red saree resulting in a silhouette different from a normal saree. I just wished she had worn a less glitzy top.
Kajol is one of my favorite actress but her dress choices really confound me!

Red Carpet Event: Filmfare awards 2011(Part 1)

Who: Sonakshi Sinha

Looks like someone read our blogpost and took our advice! Sonakshi, finally in something that is youthful and bright. The color and the draping is just gorgeous and I love her cascading curls. The fresh look just hit the right note for the occasion. Congrats on winning the best debut of the year for 'Dabaang'.

Who: Genelia D'Souza, Neha Dhupia

Genezlia - Other than the color, there is nothing I like here.

On the fence for Neha's dress. The color and style is pretty neat but somehow the outfit falls flat and really doesn't excite me.

Who: Rani Mukerjee, Sridevi

Rani - This is the only pic available and can I just say WOW!! Love the way the fabric falls. The blue really compliments her skin color and the look is just tres magnifique!

Sridevi- Great color, great outfit but the creases are so bad that it distracts and completely takes away the beauty of the dress.

Who: Prachi Desai, Malaika Arora Khan

Not a big fan of Prachi but have to say she looks cute with the side plait. As for the dress, the bottom part could be used as a toilet brush, no?

Malaika - This woman is flawless. She only has one look - the cougar look and dayum, she has perfected it!!

Who: Amrita Puri, Suzanne Roshan

Finally, someone in scarlet red!! Both are great dresses - Amrita's dress is beautifully tailored (love the pleats on the bodice) and Suzanne has sexy draping. Suzzane went a little overboard with matching accessories and red hair so this one goes to Amrita.

Who: Mugdha Godse, Sameera Reddy

Even though her clutch color is a little jarring, I like Mugdha with her shiny, slick hair. She looks chic and sassy.

Sameera - This is how a dress designed by a 'split-personality soap-opera character' would look like - loud, loud and so OTT!!

Looks of the day

Who: Priyanka Chopra
Where: Radio Mirchi awards

I'm speechless.

Priyanka in an outfit that actually goes past her mid-thigh.

Priyanka, "sophisticated" and "chic" - all in the same sentence.

wow.

I can die peacefully now. My work here is done.

Who: Rani Mukerjee
Where: Radio Mirchi awards

Neck up she is looking pretty but the colors of her outfit are drab and dull. Even her beautiful smile cant save the dress.

Who: Katrina Kaif
Where: At the book launch of "Tonite this savage rite"

Life is so simple when you just wear three colors - red, white and black, no?
Katrina is back in white, in an outfit that is too bridal. Take the sleeves out, add a belt and some sexy shoes (loubs) and maybe - nope, even that cant fix the dress!

Who: Anuskha Sharma, Shazahn Padamsee
Where: Radio Mirchi

Two Pretty Young Things in snooze worthy dresses that most probably cost two months rent!

Of weddings and receptions

The bride and the groom

Who: Neelam and Sameer Soni

Congrats to Neelam on her wedding. Wish them a long and happy married life!

Who: Shilpa Shetty

What is there not to love!!? That is one stunning saree! The equally gorgeous top/blouse emphasizes her dainty clavicle bones and Shilpa looks very delicate and sophisticated here. A total slam dunk!

Who: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Rani Mukerjee
Where: At Neelam's reception

Whats there to love? Aishwarya dress is blah and Rani's dress is just tacky - Forever 21 meets Dollar store!!

Who: Karisma Kapur
Where: Neelam's wedding, Wedding reception

How does Karisma do it - she is impossible chic all the times! Never into fashion fads, Karisma sticks to classy silhouttes in subtle colors with perfectly matched accessories. She is one of the few people who get get away with matchy-match stuff.

Who: Sonali Bendre
Where: Neelam's wedding, Reception

The first time I saw the pic, I liked Sonali's saree but the more I looked, the more I found it frumpy. She fares better in the multi-colored outfit and I love the color of her shoes.

Who: Raveena Tandon
Where: Neelam's Wedding, Reception

The colors of Raveena's saree are pretty but the design/style combined with her hairstyle ages her by 20 years. She recovers very nicely with her outfit for the reception. Striking green color that plays well with the gold design, lovely halter neck top and exquisite necklace!

Who: Amrita Arora
Where: Neelams' wedding, reception

The crushed red velvet outfit is not that bad but the golden saree is the one that caught my eye . Teaming it with a golden-yellow clutch was a smart move. No to Amrita's Goldilocks hairstyle!

Who: Laila Khan
Where: Neelam's wedding, reception

That red stops you in your track, doesn't it? Since the color is so eye-searing, I think the designer did a good think by keeping the saree simple - no superfluous embroidery - and letting the color be the star. The necklace is perfect with the saree. If Laila soared at the wedding, then she stumbled at the reception in that cheapy color combo.

Airport Style

The Good

The Bad

The Fugly

Red Carpet Event: Apsara awards 2011

Who: Sonakshi Sinha

The beauty of this dress is in the exquisite detailing on the corset top. And what does Sonakshi do? Camouflage it with her Halloween witch hair!! We are smart, aren't we?

All the success has gone to her hair:P

Who: Malaika Arora Khan, Shraddha Kapoor

Malaika brings some serious ooomph to the red carpet in a black, metallic Herve Leger. Red lips and silver accessories completed to her look. Looks like the dress is spray-painted on her:-)
Shraddha opted for a more demure, girly look in a black/pink dress. I like what I have been seeing on Shraddha lately. Some fresh blood in town!!

Who: Priyanka Chopra, Prachi Desai

Forget the disappointing dresses ( disappointing is a mild word for what Prachi has worn). If these nitwits cant even figure out what shoes to wear with these outfits, they really should quit show business!! This is red carpet and I am a deeply superficial person.

Anushka is pretty as hell but so boring. Being a former ramp model, she should know what to wear on the red carpet.
Rani looks like a lampshade. One dress, two ways!!
