The daily grind

Who: Kareena Kapoor
Where: Launch of Great Indian wedding carnival

Kareena razzles and dazzles at the launch of the Great Indian wedding carnival. The orange/pink saree is a little OTT but considering the event, she might be under-dressed:P Hate her glossy hair!

Who: Neha Dhupia, Esha Koppikar, Raageshwari

Never thought this day would come where Esha would be better dressed than Neha! Her outfit is simple but any day better than what Neha and Raageshwari wore.

Who: Bhavna Pandey
Where: Johnnie Walker bash

Bhavna looks polished and very ladylike in neutral tones. I like the way she styled it with gold accessories - it adds glamor without being overwhelming.

Who wore it better? Red wrap around dress

Who: Sarah Jane, Raageshwari
Where: Force India event, Swarovski dinner event

I like red with gold as well as red with black but don't like Sarah's shoes or her messy hair. Raageshwari does look all pretty and demure in her outfit but Sarah's lipcolor is perfect with the dress..Tough choice!!

Celebs at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2011

Who: Bipasha Basu

I like Bipasha's new long hair - it gives her a softer look. The color of the dress is so fresh and I like her choice of shoes. The fit of the dress esp. near the upper body is a little off as it gives her a slouchy look. Either that or she skipped wearing a bra:P

Who: Tisca Chopra

Tisca is perfectly polished in an asymmetrical floral dress paired with an orange Balenciaga clutch. The orange bag helps pull the orange in the dress and provides a nice visual contrast . Her hairstyle adds to the sleek sophisticated look. I like!

Who: Sarah Jane Diaz

Suddenly, she is everywhere, no? The grey masculine pants are so cool but not sure if its the length or her shoes that totally spoil the look.

Who: Raageshwari

Raageshwari in a Satya Paul dress from last year's collection. Is it too early to make my X'mas wish list? I am completely drooling over this dress.

Who: Sabine Chopra

Sabine continues her adventure in Sabyasachi-land. I am a big fan of exposed zippers craze but not the fly zipper!! That is just eeeww..And did Sabyasachi gift her his entire collection??

Who: Suzanne Roshan, Minissha Lamba

That is one dull, boring dress on Suzanne. Minissha is slightly better becoz of the belt detail and her bright red shoes.

Style roundup

Who: Amrita Arora, Raageshwari, Akanksha Malhotra, Namrata Barua
Where: Araish Exhibition

All four wore the most basic of outfits - jeans + white top but added instant glamor with $$$ designer bags. Love the color of the Kelley bag but also like brown against white (Raageshwari) and Amrita's top is cute..Well, I cant decide which look I like best!

Who: Sonam Kapoor
Where: At a wedding

This one is easy. Love the color combination, hate the pant style.

Who: Preity Zinta
Where: Adolfo Dominguez Store launch

Preity wore a black drop-down waist dress with a silver bow and red pumps to a store launch. Curly hair and heavy eyeliner completed the look. She will always look gorgeous to me but I cant help but notice that her skirt is crumpled and the fitting around her waist is little off:(

Who: Ayesha Thapar, Anupama Dayal
Where: Adolfo Dominguez Store launch

Ayesha - Dreamy, romantic dress paired with red lips and gold peep-toes. Perfect.
Anupama -Love the pairing of a tailored leather jacket with a floaty chiffon dress. The shoes just don't work for me. Its one more element fighting for attention.

The good and the ugly

Who: Raageshwari
Where: At a comedy play presented by Jet airways

Isn't that skirt divine? Love the unusual print/embroidery on it. Raageshwari paired the dress with a silver BV and silver pumps. Not sure why she choose silver, would have preferred white peep-toes and deep blue clutch. Her hair looks weird too, so lets just admire the skirt and leave it at that.

Who: Shazahn Padamsee, Sophie Choudry
Where: Dr Rashmi Shetty party, Valentine's day party

Two great floral outfits - one for the day and one for night. Like Shazahn's better becoz of the vintage-y print.

Who: Esha Koppikar
Where: At a comedy play presented by Jet airway

All I see is the red Birkin. Esha's outfit doesn't live up-to the dramatic red Hermes. The way to fix this is to take it off and put something else on:-)

Looks of the day

Who: Lara Dutta
Where: Release of Audi 8 car model

Sexy leopard print combined with a bodycon silhouette - enough to make anyone stop and stammer! Lara is dressed to kill at the release of new Audi car model. I doubt any red-blooded male at the event noticed the new Audi:-)
Love her nude makeup - anything else would have been OTT.

Who: Dia Mirza
Where: Launch of "Love, breakups, Zindagi"

One of the biggest trend of S/S11 is ultra-bright colors. And Dia shows you how to wear it right. She is simply exquisite in a punchy and vibrant orange dress. Since the dress is so bright, she kept her shoes neutral and makeup, accessories minimal.

Who: Madhoo, Raageshwari
Where:Myrah spa carnival

Madhoo - The outfit is cute but she completely spoils it with an ugly pink belt and equally ugly clutch/shoes.
Raageshwari - Somewhere, a Chinese restaurant is missing its curtains.

Who: Anushka Sharma
Where: "Patiala house" promotions

Ok, this look is from yesterday but I was too lazy to post it. This laid-back look would have worked if Anushka had skipped the belt - the color is too jarring. This and Madhoo's oufit are perfect examples how a wrong accessory can break your look.

Looks of the day

Who: Madhuri Dixit, Malaika Arora Khan

Where: "Jhalak Dikla Ja" press meet

Clash of the titans or David and Goliath:-) Madhuri and Malaika, the judges in the new season of the dance show opted for very different looks at the press meet. 

Madhuri wore an orange-black half sari. The outfit is little OTT but she looks gorgeous!!

Malaika wore a strapless gown in soft, washed out fall colors. The gown is identical in design (not colors) to the Elie Saab Spring 2010 couture gown that Rachel McAdams wore to Oscars 2010. Totally digging her  floaty romantic look..

Who: Priyanka Chopra

Where: NDTV Greenies Eco awards

Priyanka is a picture of pure prettiness at the green awards. Is she out of her 'short dresses' phase and into saris? I am just glad she is giving us something new...Love the shade of green, the velvet border and the contrast with gold embroidery..

Who: Raageshwari

Where: Shaila welfare trust program 

Raageshwari wore a smartly tailored schoolboy blazer with jeans and pumps. I like the length and the super-snug fit of her jacket. It gives her a very streamlined silhouette. Of course, I would have preferrred if she had not worn the silver buckle belt..

Who: Aanchal Kumar, Guest

Where: Tassel Style lounge party

I love sequins but dislike rompers..hmm, cant make up my mind about Aanchal's outfit:p

The guest wore a beautiful colored gown with teal straps. I do like it but its too Spring for me..maybe in few months:-)

Who: Guest

Where: Tassel style lounge party

Shiny corkscrew hair, smoky eyes, stunning red goddess dress - whats there not to like?

Who: Preity Zinta

Where: Court appearnance for IPL, Humsafar trust event

Preity doing what she does best - looking all cute and adorable!! Ignoring the peep-toes. You should know by now that when it comes to Preity, I am totally fashion blind..

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??

Red Alert

Who: Raageshwari
Where: US Independence day celebrations

Raageshwari graced US independence day celebration in a beautiful dress in stunning red color. This is definitely her color since she completely rocks it. Raageshwari kept everything else simple becoz there is no way this dress is sharing the attention..

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly at Nawaz Modi Singhania's art exhibition

Who: Raageshwari

Raageshwari wore a chic dress with a sheer net overlay and she played it safe by sticking to same color accessories. Better safe than sorry:-)

Who: Sophie Choudry, Vidya Maldave, Pooja Batra

Three cute dresses completely spoiled by choice of accessories. Sophie wore a Alexander McQueen dress which she accessorized pretty well with her clutch. She then completely killed the look with those ugly shoes and bling bling necklace. On the other hand, I love Vidya's necklace but whatever look she was going for, she missed due to her tacky shoes and handbag..The less said about Pooja's (she is still around??) shoes, the better..Someone send them to fashionista rehab!!

Who: Sabina Singh

Fashion victim, someone please arrest her!! Seriously dude, lime green and neon pink?? and arrrgh, those shoes!!!

photo credits: filmicafe.com, bollywoodhungama.com

Events: Rajneeti Success party

Who: Raageshwari

Va-va-voom, Raageshwari is all old school glamor in this high waisted pencil skirt that accentuates her waist. She pairs it with a stunning red button-down shirt and cute high heels. I am so happy that she didn't go for white shoes! A simple but very classy, feminine look..

Who: Mehr Jessia Rampal

Mehr wore a cute white top that is sexy and alluring yet prim and proper at the same time. It does look a size too big but she looks good wearing it with black skinnies. Talk about making a grand entrance AND exit !!

Who: Shazahn Padamsee

I am not feeling any love for this uninspired animal print dress and equally boring hair. The shoes are pretty fierce but somehow are not going with the outfit. I would have preferred deep red peep-toes or red clutch - some color to put life into this animal:-)

Who:(L) Tareena Patel, (R) Guest

Red-orange is a tough combination to pull off and even though Tareena's outfit looks like she slept in it, I do have to say she got the color shades right.
Totally digging the Halston-like dress on the guest. No to the golden bridal clutch and shoes...

Who: Amrita Rao

Whaaat??? sigh, somewhere a village is being deprived of it's idiot

Event: Laila Khan's Wedding Reception

This is going to be short and sweet post since its Friday night.. I wish I could say I have a rocking party to go to but the reality is I am sleepy:-)

Hits

Left: Dia, Right: Farah Ali Khan

An awesome appearance by the lovely Dia after a looong time!! Lovely shade of pista green and I love the design of the sari - how the embroidery density changes between the body of the sari and the pallu. Jewelery is a little un-coordinated.

Isn't Farah's outfit stunning and how divine is the top's hemline?? The purse looks like a last min addition as it doesn't gel with the outfit..Her necklace is stunning.

Left: Pooja, Right: Mallika (Zayed Khan's wife)

Pooja wore a golden gown which she accessorized with big green, emerald brooch. Malaika wore a nice, summery shade of blue paired with an ethereal necklace but she looks a little washed out.

Left: Celeb/Socialite, Right: Prerna Goel

The sari on the left is way too simple for this bling-bling wedding but I liked the gentle shading of this sari, the contrast with turquoise blue and the brocade top. Prena also wore a simple sari but it sooo elegant and the itsy-bisty straps of the top highlight her narrow shoulders.

On the Fence

Left: Rekha, Right: Aishwarya Rai

Neck up Rekha looks good but her sari has a very unfinished look. Aish wore a nice, bright color but the suit is very simple and there isn't anything that makes me go "wow".

Left: Raageshwari, Right: Suzanne

Raageshwari's suit is pretty okay but purple peep-toes?? is she color blind? Totally on the fence about Suzanne's sari and again a gold purse with silver embellished sari ?? maybe these Gals have split-personalities..

Left: Madhoo, Right: Celeb/Socialite

Madhoo wore a simple, boring golden sari. The socialite on the right, wore a really sexy cutout gown for the reception but it falls a little flat. Also, the gown doesn't go with the very traditional Kundan (looks like Kundan) jewelery. I can so kill her for the exquisite jewels:-)

Misses

Left: Celina, Right: Amisha Patel

Celina - sigh, where to start?? tacky outfit, bad makeup, unnecessary large bindi, severe hairstyle..

Amisha - I didn't like the velvet in this dress and the contrast with silver embroidery.

Yummylicious!!
