Red Carpet Event: Global Indian Flim and Television awards

Who: Prachi Desai, Sridevi

From her hair to her clutch to her gown color, everything is a winner here. Prachi looks fresh-faced and effortlessly polished. One of her best looks.
Sridevi is top-heavy and all this dress does is draw attention to her boobs. It looks like she is trying to cut off the circulation to her bust!! Great color, great dress but terrible fitting on the top.

Who: Sonali Bendre, Shriya Saran

Both sarees are stellar. Love Sonali's look better becoz of her top/blouse. You don't have to show a whole lot of skin to look good.

Who: Kajol, Zarine Khan

Kajol in a Manish Malhotra anarkali. Finally, she wore something that looks good on her!
Zarine Khan went for a fitted black/white anarkali and looks like she holding her breath:-) Does her outfit work for you or do you see Zebras?

Who: Vidya Balan, Mugdha Godse

Feeling no love for either of the two outfits.

Who: Ekta Kapoor

This is not a bad outfit for relaxing on a beach resort. For the red carpet, Ekta needs to ditch those ugly shoes and pretty much change into another dress:P

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: Aishwarya Rai
Where: Filmfare party

If you took the saree that Katrina wore for the Apsara awards, 2011 and dyed it blue, this is what you will get. Aishwarya in a net/velvet Manish Malhotra(who else?) saree. Similar hairstyle as Katrina and similar kundan earrings. Not only are we sharing designers but also hairstylists and jewelers. What love!!

Who: Sonakshi Sinha
Where: Filmfare Party

I like the dress on her, she looks good. Love her eye makeup but not her lip-color.

Who: Urmila Matondkar, Surily Goel
Where: Filmfare party, Olay Total effects event

There is no way to sugarcoat this so I am just going to say this - I love, love Urmila's outfit!! The sequins dhoti pants just rocks!! And it is beautifully complimented by the gently shading top. The outfit is in perfect proportion to her body. Never knew Urmila had this outfit in her.
Surily wore a pale white batwing dress and paired it with peach colored accessories. I find this shade of white to be very chic and polished and in general have a weakness for one-shoulder dresses.

Who: Shilpa Shetty
Where: Olay Total Effects event

A decent look from Shilpa after a lo-o-ng time. Looks like her stylist is back from Christmas break:P The draping and soft colors give the outfit a very feminine look which goes well with Shilpa's girly image. Thankfully, she did not accessorize.

Who: Prachi Desai
Where:Gitanjali store opening, Filmfare party

Prachi's outfits of the day are very evocative. The first one reminds me of sea-lion and the second one looks like something that used to hang over the couch at my grandmother’s house. In fact, I am going to call my granny to make sure its still there:P

Who: Anushka Sharma, Shraddha Kapoor
Where: Filmfare Party

Both the outfits made my day. Anushka does spoil it a little by her choice of accessories. Shraddha is a picture of prettiness.

Who: Sameera Reddy, Raveena Tandon
Where: Filmfare party

Animal prints gone wrong. Sameera wore a leopard print with velvet(??) pants whereas Raveena did a tiger print with satin pants. On second thoughts, Sameera is not that bad - she looks very pulled together and the red lips help. On the other hand, Raveena is beyond fashion redemption.

Red Carpet Event: Zee Cine awards 2011

To say the red carpet at Zee Cine awards was disappointing, would be an understatement. There werent many celebs on the red carpet and there wasnt any dress to set ur pulse raising!!

Who: Deepika Padukone

Looks like Deepika has an affinity for drape-y, twist front clingy dresses. She wore something similar for the Kingfisher Calendar launch. She looks nice in the second pic but in the first one the dress material looks cheap and tacky. Walmart version of a couture dress!?!!

Who: Sonakshi Sinha

That is a gorgeous saree and it looks like the top/blouse is a halter with high neck. Hair is much better than last time but I still think Sonakshi dresses too mature - 23 going on 50. She needs to wear more colorful, youthful clothes!!

What do you guys think? Is this a downgrade or an upgrade from her last red carpet look at Apsara awards?

Who: Neha Dhupia, Prachi Desai

Neha looks elegant in a multi-tiered gown with lace and sequins. One of the better looks of the evening.
Looks like the dress swallowed Prachi up! Love the color but the dress isn’t well-proportioned. The top is waay too big and the bottom is too brief to balance it.

Who: Hrithik Roshan, Sophie Choudry

Suzanne is chic and polished in a simple yet elegant gown that fits her beautifully.

Sophie is OTT as expected. Can someone explain this woman’s career, existence, coverage, etc.? Why is she everywhere??

Events: Star Screen awards 2011

Who: Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi wore a delicate scalloped black lace dress with a nude lining peeking through. The overall shape of the outfit is quite conservative and she plays it safe with black accessories. The dress is elegant and the red colored carpet plays to Sonakshi's advantage, making the dress and her stand out.

She won the Best Debut (Female) for "Dabangg". Great start to 2011!!

Who: Prachi Desai

My jaw dropped when I saw Prachi's pics - she wore a Shane and Falguni Peacock outfit!! She has walked the ramp for the designers but in sarees. This is so not her style but she makes it work - her prim and neat hairstyle being the only stumbling block. Someone is living dangerously!!

Style roundup

Who: Sushmita Sen
Where: Unveiling of Saisha design lable by Shama Sikander

Sushmita keeps it simple in a white frilly top and skinny jeans at a store opening. The top isnt winning any points from me but she makes the whole thing work.

Who: Sonali Bendre
Where: Oral B promotions

Another white top and skinny jeans combination. Sonali looks gorgeous and stylish and by pairing a slim fitting top with her jeans, really plays up her slim silhouette. The only sore point is the plastic, tacky beads..

Who: Prachi Desai
Where: Oral B promotions

Looks like someone has a new stylist:-) Either that or someone has done an intervention becoz Prachi has stopped wearing her plain-Jane terribly bor-r-ring dresses. Next on Prachi's to-do list, a new hair stylist!!

Who: Shahzahn Padamsee
Where: First look at "Dil to baccha hai"

Love, love the color and jeweled neckline. Shahzahn styled her her lovely asymmetrical dress with gold accessories. She looks cute and fresh.

Who: Urmila Matondakar
Where: At a wedding

Urmila wore a really loong anarkali to a wedding recently. The color is nice and the velvet at the hemline gives it a luxe look. I would have preferred this without the ugly sleeves...

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??

photo credits: filmicafe.com, pinkvilla.com

Lets keep this short and quick...

Who: Neha Dhupia
Where: "Obama phas gaye" audio release

For a min, I thought Neha is trying out for the Indian kabaddi team!! Then I saw the movie poster (in second pic) and realized she is "in character". Thanks for the preview, hon. Now I know which movie not to watch:-)

Who: Prachi Desai
Where: Music launch of "Kahan Mein Chala"

Looks like someone dressed in the dark! How else to explain the completely mismatched accessories? The dress itself is not that bad but trust Prachi to turn a good thing into a fashion faux-pas..Must be all the practice:p

Who:Mama Shetty, Shilpa and Shamita Shetty
Where: Diwali Party

Shilpa's outfit is very interesting - havent seen this vest-style of anarkali..The velvet border crap stuff is usually Manish Malhotra but this one is not that tacky. I like it.. Mom and sister look good too..

Who: Sushmita Sen
Where: "No problem" film mahurat

Sushmita is like a breath of fresh air in that elegant white outfit!! When you look this divine, its easy to forgive the cheap, showy gold shoes:-)

Bollywood celebrates Diwali!!

Winter White

Who: Mallika Arora Khan, Laila Khan
Where: Shilpa Shetty's Diwali party

White can look phenomenally chic when done right. Love both their outfits - they look polished and classy.

Who: Suzanne Roshan, Minissha Lamba
Where: Shilpa Shetty Diwali Party, Tushar Kapoor Diwali party

Suzanne's sparkly Loubs are to die for and the red bindi looks good on her. As far as her outfit is concerned, it is too bland compared to her clutch.
I like the top part of Minissha's anarkali. The rest looks El-Cheapo!

Nude Tones

Who: Prachi Desia, Mehr Ramphal
Where: Shilpa Shetty's Diwali party

Prachi wore a cute outfit with some really ugly shoes!
Mehr's dress is elegant and classy but the problem is that Mehr tends to favor nude makeup and with no accessories, it gives her a very 'Plain-Jane' feel.

Color me bright

Who: Kareena Kapoor
Where: Tushar Kapoor's Diwali party

Kareena in a very loud Manish Malhotra outfit and wa-a-y to much blush. She can give any drag queen a run for her money!!

Orange Delights

Who: Dia Mirza, Neelam
Where: Shilpa Shetty's Diwali party

Dia and Neelam look youthful and charming in their outfits. Didnt like Neelam's clutch - would have preferred something more ethereal.

Revenge of the stylists!!

Who: Ameesha Patel, Genelia D'Souza, Amrita Arora

Ameesha - We get it that you have boobs! Do you have to showcase then at every party??
Genelia - Are you color blind?? She looks like a movie extra from a from a c-grade movie!!
Amrita - The circus clown called - he wants his outfit back!!

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??
