A post of few words...

Who: Anushka Sharma
Where: FICCI 2011 inaugration

Love the color but the silver embellishments give it an El Cheapo look. Perfect for a raunchy onscreen item number:-)

Who: Kangana Ranaut
Where: "Game" Promos

A beautiful, summery dress completely spoiled by Kangana's choice of shoes.

Who: Tisca Chopra
Where: Shaina NC Jewellery launch

Love the clutch and shoes but the dress is like a shapeless sack. Even the addition of belt doesnt help.

Who: Amrita Puri
Where: UTV bindass new show

Stunning color, cute smile and perfect shoes. Black shoes would have looked very harsh.

Who: Soha Ali Khan, Celina Jaitely
Where: Does anyone care?

The blazer+jeans combo is nothing new but the stripes t-shirt reminds me of prison uniform. Doesnt work for me.
Great dress, atrocious makeup! Celina looks ghastly! New witch in town??

Looks of the day

Who: Vidya Balan
Where: WWF event

Vidya wore a multi-colored anarkali which is kinda growing on me. I mean, I dont think I will wear this rainbow dress but she looks graceful and carries it off pretty well.

Has her nose been always this big? or is it a bad pic?

Who: Sonakshi Sinha
Where: Provogue event

Sonakshi signed on as a female brand ambassador for Provogue today.
Seriously, who will take fashion advice from someone who has a front wedgie? How difficult is it to fit shorts that fit you well? or is it the case of "I-need-to-pee-real-bad"?? hmmm..
(Her orange face is not a bronzer overdose but case of bad lighting.)

Who: Kangana Ranaut
Where: At her birthday party

Speaking of orange color, whats more orange - Kangana's hair or her cute dress? I hope someone gifted her the phone number of a good hair colorist!

Spotted around town

Who: Bipasha Basu
Where: Tommy Hilfiger shoe launch

Havent seen Bipasha in ages!! She looks youthful and fresh in a strapless, flowy floral dress. She smartly balanced the multi-hued combo with a black belt, clutch and tan shoes. She kept her makeup light and best of all, she has changed her hairstyle!

Who: Kangana Ranaut
Where: "Game" movie launch

Love the colors and print of this dress. It does look like an old wallpaper but I like. And the best part is her shoes. Brilliant!! I think she put them on by fluke- she cant be that fashion savvy. The only bad part is the fit of the dress - its so shapeless:( No wonder she is grumpy.

Who: Shraddha Kapoor, Sarah Jane Dias
Where: Lakme fantasy collection launch, "Game" movie launch

Both, Shraddha and Sarah, wore my current favorite shade of pink - a dull, dusty pink. Of the two, I like Sarah's outfit better. Shraddha's outfit looks like lingerie. The baby doll style combined with gauzy fabric reminds of Victoria's Secret stuff.

Who: Lisa Haydon
Where: Lakme fantasy collection launch

The purple lining on Lisa's jacket is so quirky, no? It adds some jazz to a boring blazer-skirt combo. She wore an asymmetrical top underneath which again is very unexpected. Yay to Lisa's interpretation of the traditional suit.

Who: Ira Dubey, Surily Goel
Where: At her store launch, Tommy Hilfiger shoe launch

Ira - She is too thin. Clothes just hang on her. Eat! Carbs love you. Love them back!

Surily - Isn't her clutch adorable? Goes so well with grey dress.

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!"

All in a day's work

Who: Kangana Ranuat
Where: "Tanu weds Manu" promotions

A polka dot blouse is the perfect perky complement to Kangana's perky "girls". The quirky pants are also cute but worn together and with some wild hair thrown in, make Kangana look like one hot mess!!
Kangana went for a tailored grey/brown combo for her next appearance but her whole outfit looks dull and I don't like the way her pants are tucked into her shoes.
I think the poor Gucci bag is trying to hide its face:-)

Magazine Covers II - December 2010

Elle - Aishwarya Rai
L'officiel - Kangana Ranaut

Aishwarya in Rohit Bal for Elle cover. I am not sure abt the dress but I love her half-turned pose - looks very regal and the color of the masthead. Totally digging the whole composition but wish the cover didnt have so much written on it. And is there any mystique left to Aish?? or in any other celeb?? The way media covers them, I bet I can tell the brand/color of their undies....

Kangana in Ellie Saab for L'Officiel cover. Again a great cover with the red flowing dress but she has been photo-shopped beyond recognition. And while they were at it, couldn't they change her expression? Looks like she smelled something bad..Maybe the photographer farted:-) I couldnt resist:-)

Weekend Round

Who: Karishma Kapoor
Where: JPEL race and Geetanjali fashion show

Is it just me or does it look as if the outfit is hanging on Karishma's tiny frame? I am ok with the loose top but would have preferred a more tailored skirt. She accessorized with Chanel necklace, Chanel bag and glowing skin!! Nice sunnies..

Who: Shazahn Padamsee
Where: JPEL race and Geetanjali fashion show

Shahzahn went all girly-girl in a pink floral dress. She looks fresh but for once I want to see someone in bollywood do a floral with some really tough, edgy shoes.

Who: Dia Mirza
Where: Judge at Navy queen contest

Thats a really great color but feeling no love for her dress or her shoes. Neck up, Dia is gorgeous..

Who: Kangana Ranuat
Where: Koffee with Karan

After Deepika-Sonam and Kareena-Saif, this episode with Kangana-Anil Kapoor-Sanjay Dutt must have been pretty boring..Unless Carrot-top's boob popped out... Did it???
What do you think of her outfit? I like the outfit but hate her makeup and hair color...

Who: Shamita Shetty
Where: Anmol jewelers collection preview

At least one of the Shetty sisters is getting her accessories right!! Shamita looks lovely in a simple sequins top and jeans, Gucci bag and slingbacks. Lately, she has been doing really swell on the red carpet, managing to outshine her tacky-accessories-obsessed sister..you go , girl!!

Events: Burberry bash - Part 3

Who: Asin, Kangana Ranaut

I love, love Christopher Bailey. He has transformed a traditional British clothes manufacturer into one of the hottest fashion labels today. But I am finding it hard to say anything nice about the Burberry outfits worn by Asin and Kangana..I am not sure if the color is too pale or what but there is no oomph..
Asin wore hers with Jimmy Choos whereas Kanaga teamed it with BV clutch and folden pumps..

Who: Shazahn Padamsee, Soniya Mehra

Shazahn wore a tube top with sequins skirt and Burberry shoes. She looks cute and well put-together.
Soniya wore an H&M tiered dress which she accessorized with a pink clutch and golden shoes. I really like it when she wears high street stuff to red carpet events. She looks youthful and fresh.

I Spy..

Who: Rani Mukerjee
Where: "No Killed Jessica" promos

.. someone giving Lindsay Lohan a run for her money in her tacky (so what if its Juicy Couture) flip-flops.

Who: Kangana Ranaut
Where: "No problem" screening

.. a Gucci "Heritage" bag and carrot top.

Who: Vidya Balan
Where: "No Killed Jessica" promos

..someone who has finally learned to say "no" - no to Sabyasachi:-) On the the other hand, If I see Vidya in one more kurit, I will bang my head...

Who: Katrina Kaif
Where: Release of Filmfare anniversary issue

..a three-tiered wedding cake. (BCBGMAXAZARIA sweetheart dress)

Style roundup

Wanted to wish all my readers a Happy Thanksgiving!! Have a turkey-fic Thanksgiving time feasting with your friends and family!! Muaah!!

Now that I have been nice, its time to be mean:-)

Who: Sonam Kapoor
Where: John Galliano Eye wear launch

Sonam looks polished and professional in a Christian Dior suit which she wore to the John Galliano eye wear event. The outfit has a really flattering fit thanks to the shoulder-emphasizing ruffle top and the waist-cinching skirt. She balances the dramatic top with patterned tights for a winning look.

Who: Kangana Ranaut
Where: "Once Upon a time in Mumbai" success party

Kangana wore a stunning, bright yellow dress to celebrate the success of her last movie. I love, love the pairing with McQueen clutch but the yellow shoes push the outfit into "jaundice" territory!! And she really needs to fire her makeup artist - armadillo hair?? ewww!!!

Who: Prachi Desai
Where: "Once Upon a time in Mumbai" success party

I like this look although it could have done with a better fitting at the top. Prachi looks ultra-feminine in a floral dress which she wore with "I WANT IT, NOW" inky blue pumps..

If you like this style, then Gap has a number of such dresses in two tone colors..

Who: Koena Mitra
Where: American Music Awards

I just dont get it - who the hell is inviting Koena to these events and most importantly, why??
Camel toe + drag queen shoes - what else where you expecting??

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!!

photo credits: filmicafe.com, pinkvilla.com, bollywoodhungama.com

Events: Baba Dewan's bday party

Who: Shilpa Shetty, Shamita Shetty

This is going to one of the rare occasion where Shamita is looking better than her sis, Shilpa. Love, love her printed dress.
If anybody can rock a Herve Leger bandage dress, its super fit Shilpa bad but her cheap trinkets spoil the look for me. Dont miss her "SSR" monogrammed sleazy clutch..

Who: Kangana Ranuat, Sophie Choudry

Kanaga's metallic outfit is cute but the shoes are a downer. And Sophie, you did good girl!! The figure-hugging dress, the shoes and the accessories are all working.

Who: Malaika Arora Khan, Laila Khan, Natasha Fardeen Khan

Dayum, Malaika manages to make an unforgiving, clingy leather pants look amazing!!

Laila's outfit is cute - not sure why she wrapped a raccoon around her waist.

Natasha shines in her grey-black stripe dress. I would have preferred kitten heels with such a short dress..

Who: Parvathi Melton, Riya Sen

Totally crushing on the color of Parvathi's dress. The draping and the material give the outfit a very luxe look..Perfect for holiday season.

Riya - Beautiful girl, great dress, atrocious accessories..

Who: Neeta Lulla, Natasha Zayed Khan

You can never go wrong in a simple sheath dress and pumps. Neeta is super trendy in a snake print dress that fits her perfectly.

Love the color of Natasha's outfit and she got the shoes right!! A big feat in our accessories blind bollywood:-)

Aamby Valley India bridal week - Celebs on ramp

You are forewarned that some of the pics that you are about to see contain really tacky, loud, OTT outfits:-) On the other hand, you may get some ideas on how to dress for next Halloween!!

Celebs showstoppers at Aamby Valley India bridal week

Urmila Matondakar, Raageshwari, Zeenat Aman

Neetu Chandra, Prachi Desai, Zarine Khan (She is still around??)

Kangana Ranaut, Neha Dhupia, Shriya Saran

Amrita Rao, Geeta Basra, Tulip Joshi

To be fair, outfits worn by Neetu, Shriya and Geeta are pretty decent. The rest make me glad I am done with this marriage thing!! Which one do you think should go under Hall of Shame??
