Celebs at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2011

Who: Kareena Kapoor

Having see Manish Malhotra's collection at the fashion week, I think Kareena could have chosen a more "visually, stunning" piece to wear. This one is nice but not really breathtaking. She does a have lovely back!

Who: Shamita Shetty

Love the fusion of east and west - the Banarsi border on a modern silhouette. The color is also very eye pleasing and I think I have started liking Shamita more than Shilpa on the red carpet. Both sisters still need to fix their accessorizing.

Who: Sonali Bendre

The color block dress with two pastel colors is just divine. A touch of embellishments on the neckline gives it a sophisticated touch. The black/white outfit is also nice but I didnt like the bling-y belt.

Who: Sophie Choudry

Sophie gets it right on both occasions sticking to simple, sexy dresses. I heart her black/gold shoes in the second pic. I Want!

Who:Jacqueline Fernadez, Narmaada Ahuja

Both, Jacqueline and Narmaada, wore outfits by Masaba at the presentation of her collection at Lakme Fashion week, 2011.
Which one did you like better? hmm, I will go with Narmaada's outfit becoz the addition of dupatta/scarf makes her outfit look more elegant.

Who: Monica Dogra, Mansi Scott

Both dresses are lovely but Mansi spoils her outfit with really bad choice of shoes and bag.

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!!

Daily Catch

Who: Shamita Shetty
Where: A.lance and Sohne success bash

Shamita wore a killer cat ( Leopard = killer cat, get it?) print dress to the event. She looks lovely. I like the addition of the skinny belt - it breaks the pattern and gives it a more stylish look. A reddish-orange clutch would have knocked the look out of the ball park..

Who: Sameera Reddy
Where: A.lance and Sohne success bash

Sameera wore a burgundy bodycon dress that borders on prom/bridesmaid territory. She went for black accessories and messy hair which really doesn't fly with such a formal outfit. Black gladiator heels and gold clutch would have been my choice of accessories...
What do you guys think - cute or prom?

Who: Esha Koppikar
Where: A.lance and Sohne success bash

Bo-r-r-ing!!

Who: Vivek and Priyanka Oberoi
Where: A.lance and Sohne success bash

The newly weds also attended the event and the new bride glows in a gorgeous Tarun Tahiliani sari. Love the Nehru-collar blouse..
Now, lets all do a collective "Awwwww, so cute":-)

Events: Christian Dior Store opening - III

Who: Bhavna Pandey, Nandita Mahtani

Its very difficult to choose between the two gowns since both are in such gorgeous colors. Love the feminine draping and soft fluidity of both the outfits..
I wish Nandita had gone for an updo to highlight her halter neckline.

Who: Raveena Tandon, Guest

Again, beautiful outfits in attention-catching colors. Love Raveena's gown that teams a classic silhouette with such a in-your-face color.
The teal-colored dress fits the guest like a glove and she truly does justice to that outfit.

Who: Shamita Shetty, Guest

I would wear Shamita's dress in a heartbeat but not to such a formal red-carpet event. Its fun and flirty - perfect for a more causal event.
The guest caught my eye becoz she reminded me of Indian Rajasthani puppet. She looks very graceful in what looks like a Sabyasachi.

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:-)

Black Reign..

Who: Sushmita Sen
Where: Auditioning of models for Vera Mode fashion show

The Queen of Black, Sushmita in a black jumpsuit accessorized with a black belt and pumps. Love the bows on the dress and she looks great - one of the few good jumpsuits outfits..

Who: Priyanka Chopra
Where: Don2 press conference in Berlin

There are so many rumors going around regarding Priyanka getting a nose job that I cant but help scrutinize her nose instead of her outfit:-( I like her two-tone dress and shoes but not sure if they go together. What do you think about her nose, err, I mean outfit?

Who: Shamita Shetty, Deepti Gujral
Where: Rocky S Absolute Vodka bash

Shamita - Everything is good. Nothing to bitch about:-)

Deepti - Posted her outfit becoz I think the red shoes go with her black outfit ..

Which black/red combination works --Priyanka's or Deepti's?

Who: Bipasha Basu
Where:(L) ET awards, (R) "Jhoota Hi Sahi" screening

Bipasha in an outfit that has to be from the sales rack of Frederik's of Hollywood!! Sleazy and tacky!! Girlfriend, what were you thinking?

She fares much better in a coral dress with gorgeous draping. Love the pop of green bracelet!! I also like her hair in this pic..

Wait there is more:-)

I did a guest post for the lovely Sahi of barelyvogue.com. Its about getting Freida's look for less. Check it out at barelyvogue.com

HDIL'10 opening party - Part II

Left: Urmila Matondakar, Center: Shamita Shetty, Right: Sushma Reddy

Urmila wore a black/white abstract print dress with an asymmetrical hemline to the HDIL opening night. She teamed it with a printed clutch and shoes with rosettes. Although she has the legs to rock this dress, I think a longer skirt would have looked more classy.

Shamita wore a cutesy safe dress that I think works for her. She looks good but doesnt really "wow" me..

Meghna in a dress that would have looked great on a girls night out but is really simple for a red carpet event...

Event: Zara opening

Who: Kareena Kapoor

Honey, are you having bladder control issues? why are u always standing cross-legged?? jokes apart, I love the coral color of her dress but I have never been a fan of loose fitting dresses. They always look like maternity dresses to me:( I think a brown belt would have added some definition. She did her signature look - the smokey eyes and curled up her hair. I think I prefer her hair straight and wavy..

Who: Tara D’Souza

Honey, you got ur invites mixed up. This is not the IIFA 2010 red carpet:-)
I do have to say that if this is how she dresses for a store opening, I wonder what she wears for the red carpet events... That gown is really gorgeous!!

Who: Sophie Choudry

So what do you guys thing? Should we give her our seal of approval or should we let her sweat it out a little more:-)
I know lot of people don't like her but dayum she is looking decadent in that dress.

Who: Soniya Mehra

Dude, I missed you!! Long time, no see?? Soniya in Lecoanet Hemant corset, a Reiss skirt, Zara shoe. As you all know, I am a big, big fan of her sassy, singular style and she doesn't disappoint. love the chic vibe of her outfit. And no, I did not miss her "hair extensions" gone bad..The hair is terrible - something one would do on Halloween for a witch outfit, so no brownie points this time:(

Who: Shamita Shetty

I think she should have skipped the cardigan to make this look, work. Totally drooling on her shoes and the scalloped edging of her skirt..

Who: (L) Viveka Babaji, (R) guest

There are very fringe dresses that I like and this is one of them.
I like the color block pattern on the guest's dress and the halter maxi style is so beachy cool..

Who: (L) guest, (R) Parvathi Melton

The outfit of the left is simple yet so elegant.
Parvathi is another of my red carpet favs. The fan-shaped pleats on this dress look very interesting but I don't have a frontal pic of hers. The golden shoes are also just perfect.

Who: Rocky S, Shamita Shetty

So, Rocky, what do you think, fake or real;-)

Event : IPL Awards red carpet

LBD

Left: Dia Mirza
Right: Mehr Jessia Ramphal

Dia wore a cute LBD - the nipped waist and big shoulders highlight her hourglass figure. She is a winner except for the ugly shoes. Mehr wore a drapey dress which ummmm, hummm, I really don't get:-) Also, the no-makeup thing makes her look older than her actual age.

The Sisters do us proud!

Left: Shilpa Shetty
Right: Shamita Shetty

The sisters are wearing such lovely colors!! Looks like the deep blue is the current flavor of the month since we have seen so many celebs in it. I am not complaining since Shilpa looks like a glamorous movie star....The shoes are sooo yuck..I really don't get the celebs - why don't they pay attention to footwear?? So many beautiful outfits undone by ugly shoes....

Shamita is also flawless, love the draping of the dress and hallelujah, perfect shoes!!! Not sure why she brought her pet bird to the party.. Oh, thats not a bird on her right shoulder..oops;-)

Hot, Red Hot

Left: Preity Zinta
Right: Vida Samadzai

This is the only pic I could find of the lovely Ms. Zinta:-( The sash/embroidery at the waist looks very interesting..

Vida is smoking hot in a body hugging dress. Do love the embellishment on the dainty halter neck straps.

Peaches and Cream

Left: Amrita Rao
Right: Sameera Reddy

Looks like Amrita is sleep walking - how else to explain this tacky nightdress and the shiny boobs??

Sameera in a beautiful printed, cream dress that hugs her figure and reveals her best assests. This is Sameera's best look on the red carpet, ever. The dress is very similar to what Tanushree wore to the 'Apartment' premier except Tanushree's was in grey..Is furnishings fabric the new 'in' thing??
