Spotted around town

Who: Deepika Padukone
Where: Triumph show

Runaway disco ball on the red carpet!!

Deepika's outfit would have worked but the red nails, crystal belt and clutch make the whole thing look like an expensive Forever21 creation that is intended for a Christmas party with some disco dancing.

Who: Akshay Kumar and Twinkle
Where: Triumph show

Akshay looks yummy and I could drool all day long but the giant chessboard keeps distracting me. Oops, its his wife, Twinkle! Hey, not a bad dress. Loose the ruffle and we are talking.

Who: Shazahn, Soniya Mehra, Sonakshi Sinha
Where: Triumph show

Shazahn - I like her clutch and shoes but her dress is yawnsville and it somehow doesn't flow with her accessories.
Soniya - Great dress but socks!! Girlfriend, what were you thinking? I like quirky but that's just silly.
Sonakshi - I like the whole look but I think its more suited to a causal event.

Who: Amrita Arora, Neelam
Where: Triumph show

Amrita's leopard print dress is cute but those shoes really clash with the outfit.

Neelam's printed dress has a classy and chic look but for the piece of lace around her shoulder. Looks like the designer ran out of material and patched it together with lace.

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.

Celebs at Lakme Fashion Week Winter 2010

Left: Rani Mukherjee, Right: Mugdha Godse

Rani in a yawn inducing outfit that combines her two current loves - black color and jumpsuits. I anoint thee Queen of Snoozeville!!

Black is the color of the day for Mughda! She wore a black jumpsuit to the Araish event and in the evening, changed into a black anarkali for Neeta Lulla's show. Cant find any major flaws other than her shoes..

Who:Tabu
Left: Shabana Azmi's party, Right: Lakme Fashion Week 2010

Tabu continue her love affair with sequins and short dresses. I like her white/gold outfit - its good I cant see her shoes since I am sureto be disappointed:-) The blue looks good on Tabu but I am not sure about the fit of the dress..Its really looks like a sack..

Left: Juhi Chawla, Right: Amisha Patel

Juhi and Amisha wore anarkalis to Neeta Lulla's fashion show. One looks graceful and elegant, the other looks like an idiotic moron..No prizes for guessing which one is which:-)

Who: Soniya Mehra

Its just not my day when even Soniya fails to cheer me up!! Sigh..Soniya wore a floral, multi-tiered dress to the event. I like her side-braid, the floral part of the dress and her gorgeous oxfords. The polka-dot part just doesn't flow with the rest of the outfit..Maybe if the dots were closer...

Sequins and prints with some white throw in..

Who: Shilpa Shetty
Where: Blenders tour day

Uh-oh, looks like her stylist is on vacation. How else to explain the big ugly bag, equally ugly shoes and..well, I cant get pass the bag. The bag is so discordant with the sequins/skinny look she has going on..

Who: Soniya Mehra
Where: Blenders tour day

Soniya wore a white dress by Nandita Mahtani and teamed it with Jimmy Choo shoes and Gucci bags (as per her tweet). I love the dress but not sure about the black belt - the color/style looks harsh against the ethereal dress..The shoes although cute don't really complement the dress..

Who: Amrita Arora
Where: Blenders tour day

Amrita looked radiant on the ramp in a Leopard print Surily Goel dress. I was totally digging the net over dress thing in the first pic but then I looked at the second picture. It looks as if Amrita gathered all the extra material and tied it into a knot...Really sloppy:-(

Who: Malaika Arora Khan
Where: Launch of fridaymoviez.com website

I think we all are in agreement that Malaika has a body to die for. The dress is a different story:-) I dont have a front facing pic of hers but it looks like the dress is a little loose on the top and kinda gives her a boxy appearance. Iffy on the braided belt and and I am not a big fan of snake prints...Perfect slutty shoes:P

India International Jewellery Week - Red carpet

Who: Dia Mirza

Dia was perfectly coiffed and immaculately turned out in a beautiful mustard-yellow saree paired with an un-coordinated blouse (I like) and golden clutch..This color is like a fresh breeze on the red carpet.

Who: Soniya Mehra

I am a big fan of Soniya's style but this one is little too sugary and bland for me. You had a good run so now don't go complacent on me. Its a bitch-eat-bitch world of fashion- u snooze, u loose..

Who: Suzanne Khan, Raveena Tandon

Who: Mallika and Amrita Arora

Suzanne, Raveena and Arora sisters were boring in black. Of the four, I liked Suzanne's outfit best- the corset with net lining looks sexy with her skirt and her nude pumps. Neck up, Suzanne is always a hot mess...

Style Diaries

Who: Kangana Ranaut
Where: Alcatel Mobile Ice 3 Mobile Event

Whoa!!What happened to her?? Kangana is fashion roadkill with the shapeless dress, tacky shoes and oily makeup. She looks like she just rolled out of bed - one hot mess!!

Who: Amrita Rao
Where: IHLS private screenings

Yup, you can stop rubbing ur eyes. That is Amrita. After inflicting one atrocity after another on the red carpet, Amrita is actually, you know..ummm, ummmm, yikes, I cant bring myself to say this but *cough* looking good *cough*. Who would have thought she had it in her:-) Beautiful dress in a gorgeous color.. I would have picked different shoes but I am not complaining!!

Who: Soniya Mehra
Where: IHLS private screening

Cute summery top paired with ripped skinnies and a fringe bag..Perfect for the movies!!

Who: Sonam Kapoor
Where: IHLS private screening

Sonam attended IHLS private screenings yesterday as well as today. Talk about self-love!! Yesterday, she wore a really boring black on black ensemble with a Chanel chain bag. Today she wore "see no evil, hear no evil, do no evil" skull t-shirt with grey skinnies, blazer and combat boots. Of course, she carried another drool worthy bag - Balenciaga Giant Part time bag...This is it, I am raiding her closet. Need volunteers - will split the loot:-)

Who: Guest
Where: IHLS private screenings

I spotted a guest at the screening wearing black on black same as Sonam. Whereas Sonam's look was sleep inducing, the Guest upgraded her look by adding a low-slung belt and gold bling-bling. She also wore beige shoes....

Events : People Magazine Most Beautiful Party

Who: Sushmita Sen

Seems like there are only two colors in Sushmita's closet - black and blue. But what a fabulous blue!! She really sparkles here although I don't like the side drapes on the skirt. Very well accessorized with matchy peep-toes and white clutch. The pendant draws attention to her lovely decolletage..

Hmm, the armholes of this dress look big, since when did armpits become sexy?

Who: Soniya Mehra

Soniya in a Topshop dress/shoes and Gucci clutch. Cute cutout details on the shoulders but it looks as if her hairstyle is tight and is pulling at her face. Or is she this thin? Thin, young, moneyed with good dressing sense - she disgusts me :-)

Who: Kangana Ranaut

Kanaga rocks in a bodycon skirt paired with an asymmetrical blue top. I am not a big fan of her Medusa hairstyle but other than that ( and her oily makeup ), this is a flawless appearance.

Who: Dia Mirza

Dia in a bright orange dress which is a mess from the waist down - the ruffles just dont work. I like all her accessories - earrings, bangles, shoes and clutch but wearing all of them in the same color - gold, is just waaaay too much...

Who: Mandira Bedi

Mandira was the surprise of the evening - for the first time wearing a dress that doesn't assault our senses!! She wore a bandage dress with cut outs in sheer fabric. The whole look is sexy without being over the top.

Who: Madhoo

Madhoo was the next surprise in a black/white Herve Leger dress. She looks pretty and I am happy that she didn't over accessorize since the dress itself is an attention grabber..

Who: Jacqueline Fernandez

The dress is nice but Jacqueline's choice of accessories gives the whole outfit, a tacky look. And there is something in her face/makeup that is throwing me off..

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;-)

Black was the night with silver stars..

Who: Shilpa Shetty
Where: Femina Miss India 2010 contest

Can I have her stylist's number? Its one thing to find the perfect dress but to accessorize it with the perfect shoes/jewelery is an art. Not only do I totally dig her shoes but I am also lusting after what looks like panther (Cartier??) bracelet on her hand..Shilpa, your stylist deserves a big, fat bonus:-)

Who: Neha Dhupia
Where: Femina Miss India 2010 contest

What a stroke of genius - combining the hottest fall trends - the military jacket and tulip skirt!! She looks totally fab..Is it too early to make a list for Santa:-)

Who: Soniya Mehra
Where: Diesel Launch

Adding silver can totally glam up any outfit. You need to be careful though so that you don't look like wrapped in an aluminum foil. Soniya wore a silver sequins Topshop pants which she balanced with a plain white top. The chunky necklace adds to the charm although the color is a little discordant with the outfit..
