Celebs at HDIL couture week 2010 - Day one

Who: Sonam Kapoor

Sonam channeled Betty, Peggy and Joan from "Mad Men" going for a 60's ladylike look. She wore a black dress with cap sleeves and a semi-full skirt that hit her below the knees. Pointy pumps, cream handbag and gorgeous ethnic necklace completed the look.

The look is not bad but there is no drama. For that you need the contrast of a well-fitted bodice and a skirt with way more volume. The skirt also should be knee length( not this long)... Do love her red lip color and sleek hair style..

Who: Sameera Reddy

Sameera wore a pant-suit with a very interesting silhouette. The jacket looks like a tux in a wraparound style. The addition of the belt prevents the jacket from overwhelming her frame. I like her outfit but the shoe color is an eyesore...It also looks like her foundation is not the right shade..

Who: Sangeeta Bijlani

Sangeeta wore a fabulous coral colored flapper dress which she topped with loose, tousled hair... This is a major upgrade from her last appearance. The color and the dress style give Sangeeta a very youthful look..

Who: Queenie Dhody

Queenie wore a leopard print dress to the opening party. For Manish's show, she wore a drape-y dress in soft pink and paired it with white clutch and silver shoes. Neither of the looks work for me.

Left: Urmila Matondakar, Right: Sophie Choudry

Urmila - Only one word - "tacky"

Sophie in a dress that looks great from the back and pretty boring from the front. If I were her, I would walk backwards the whole time:-)

Left: Natasha Poonawala, Right: Guest

Neck up, Nastasha looks pretty lackluster but do I love her maxi-dress or what?

The guest is a study in restrained elegance in a knockout mustard-yellow dress. She wisely didnt over-accessorize and completed her ensemble with some great shoes.

Style Watch

Mad about plaid

Who: (L) Sophie Choudary, (R) : guest
Where: Diesel Launch party

Both wore cute plaid dresses but I like Sophie's better since she also rocks the 'zipper on the outside' trend.. Cant believe both wore peep-toes and similar clutches:-)

Asymmetrical white dress

Who: Guests
Where: Priya Chatwal Kitsch launch

The dresses are perfect for a hot summer night party!! Cant say the same for the tacky looking accessories..I love the delicate, black edging on the left dress and it has an interesting hemline. The right dress drapes perfectly and has a cute snake on the shoulder..hmmm, never thought 'cute' and 'snake' would be together in the same sentence:-)

Fashion Faceoff

Looks like the dress code for DNA Style Awards, was black becoz majority of the celebrities turned up in black outifts with varying hemlines.

Left: Sonam Kapoor
Right: Lisa Haydon

First, we have is Sonam Kapoor - I like the origami pleats of this dress and the contrast of white but the booties - they have to go!!! It completely spoils the look. This will not do, Sonam, you are a known fashionista and we expect perfection from you every time...Next is Lisa in a spagetti strapped, bodycon dress paired with the perfect two-toned shoes. She completely rocks this dress!!

Left: Sophie Choudhry
Right: Sushmita Sen

Sophie and Sushmita go for short black dress - nice legs, ladies. Sushmita looks elegant but me no likey her shoes.

Malaika Arora Khan

Malaika wore a floor length gown with beaded halter neck - which emphasizes her curves as usual. If you have it, flaunt it, right Malaika:-) Totally dig her makeup!!

Who rocks at the DNA awards?
	Sonam
	Lisa
	Sophie
	Sushmita
	Malaika
