Some pretty things..

Who: Dia Mirza
Where: Promoting "Love Zindagi Breakups" at Kimaya

I cant resist any sequins esp when the color is so elegant but I think the skirt needs a broader waistband. That would have provided a nice contrast with the full body of the skirt. And even though Dia's shoes are cute, they are not the same shade as her sequins and that throws me off-balance..

Who: Soniya Mehra
Where: Hippie night

Soniya does the hippie in a lace shorts, mismatched bangles and a flower hairband. A bright pink bag and some weird eye makeup completed her look.
So is she hippie enough for you?

Who: Sonakshi Sinha
Where: UTV event

Sonakshi needs to get some bangs/fringe or change her hairstyle becoz her huge forehead is really distracting:-(
Her outfit is cute and elegant.

Hi!

I know, I know, I have been really bad! I owe you guys a big fat apology for taking a longer than expected break from blogosphere. First I was super busy and then I just got lazy:-( I am a part time blogger and when I have too many things on my plate, blogging is what I drop first. But don't worry, I am getting better at my time management skills:-)

I am going to try my best to make it up to all you! Thanks for leaving such sweet comments and checking on me regularly. Best readers EVER!

love,
Sonali

My blog is napping..zzzzzzz for a little while.

Will be back soon!

Sonam - 2011 Cannes Film Festival

Who: Sonam Kapoor
Where: 2011 Cannes Film Festival, "The Artist" premiere

The moment we have all been waiting for - Sonam's appearance at the Cannes red carpet! Sonam chose a Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2009 black/white gown for this occasion. A very bold choice given the unconventional organza overlay.
I love her hair and makeup - its flawless! The gown is delicate and whimsical but does not blow my socks off. I didnt like the lampshade on her butt:-( Sonam carries it well mainly becoz of her height.

This is one time Sonam should have asked her stylist - "Does this make my butt look fat?"

Mallika Sherwat - 2011 Cannes Film Festival

Who: Mallika Sherawat
Where: 2011 Cannes Film Festival

Mallika wore a lace see-thru Eric Tibusch gown to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" premiere. I love the gown - has a very futuristic/Queen Amidala feel - but not sure if I am interested in seeing her undies:-) Have never found display of undies classy or graceful..
Her hair and makeup don't really go with the gown - I think smokey eyes would have really rocked this look.

What do you think?

Aishwarya Rai - 2011 Cannes Film Festival (Day 2)

Who: Aishwarya Rai

Where: "Sleeping beauty" premiere, 2011 Cannes film festival

I had posted this yesterday but blogger was down and somehow this post (and the comments) got deleted!! So here is Aishwarya on Day 2.

What has happeend to Ms Rai? One fabulous look after another? Did she take our advice and hire Rachel Zoe as stylist:-) Whatever it is, I am loving it!!

Aishwarya is in Armani Prive, 2011 and is looking elegant and fabulous. Love her clutch and bold cuff - I am happy she did not over-accessorize. Her makeup looks good too. Cant wait to see what she wears next!

Aishwarya Rai - 2011 Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony 2011

Who: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Where: 2011 Cannes opening ceremony

Aishwarya "shuts down" the red carpet in Elie Saab Spring 2011 Couture gown. She is beautiful and elegant in the nude one-shoulder dress with peplum effect at the waist. Love her hair and eye makeup. It does look as if she is holding her breath/sucking her tummy in some of the pics but all in all, she is flawless here:-)

Best Dressed of the Month - March '11

Nice to some new faces other than the regulars (Sonam, Kareena)!

Who: Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor

Who: Raageshwari, Amrita Puri

Who: Bipasha Basu, Shamita Shetty

Style roundup

Who: Rani Mukerjee
Where: At a book launch

Rani is a head turner in this colorful saree. Causal, lose hair and some beautiful earrings help achieve this winning look. This saree would be perfect for a spring/summer wedding!

Who: Katrina Kaif
Where: Unveiling of her Barbie doll

I love bright colors but something about the style/fabric makes the hot pinkish red look cheap and garish. A "bridesmaid-attends-80s-prom" dress and it goes firmly in the “start over” column.

Who: Amrita Rao
Where: At a book launch

Another color blocking outfit. I like the fact that she didnt wear white shoes!

Who: Deepika Padukone, Sameera Reddy

Day and night options for your skinnies. Deepika is tres chic and Sameera all sultry in her red graphic top!

Saree dreams

Who: Rani Mukherjee

No surprises here. Rani always looks elegant and polished in a saree.

Who: Priyanka Chopra

Love the color of her saree! Priyanka wears the saree well. I like her hair but her face and boobs are out of proportion with the body.

Who: Anushka Sharma

As if the color was not bridal enough, Anushka piled on bridal jewelery too! Yes, she looks cute but looks like she directly came here from her marriage mandap! All she is missing is sindoor:-)

Freida Pinto @ Met Gala 2011

Who: Freida Pinto

Where: Met Gala 2011

Freida wore Chanel Spring 2010 Couture gown to the Met Gala. Neck up she looks fabulous with the red lip color and side parting but I am not so sure about the dress. After seeing Pippa in that slinky white bridesmaid dress, its going to be really tough for anyone to come close.

I am itching to pull the black drawstring and see if the whole thing falls apart:-)

What do you guys think?

Weekend Roundup

Who: Mallika Sherwat
Where: White House correspondents dinner

Yes, you read it right. Mallika was at the White house correspondents dinner! She was pictured with Russel Simmons so not sure if she was his plus one. And she was decently dressed too!! I know - can this day get more exciting?!

Love Mallika's makeup and the gorgeously embellished bodice but not sure why she stuck a hula dancer's skirt to her hemline? But she attended one of the most sought-after event in Washington D.C and that all that counts.

Who: Priyanka Chopra
Where: MTV event

Just one word: Ghastly!

Who: Farah Ali Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Mehr Rampal
Where: Maheep Kapoor's Bday

I love how Farah paired black with jewel toned green clutch and gold shoes. Karisma wore a rather inspid black dress and the only interesting thing is her jeweled clutch. Mehr is cute in her babydoll dress but she really needs some accessories and loads of makeup.

Who: Sridevi, Sonali Bendre
Where: Maheep Kapoor's bday

Sridevi - I cant put my finger on it but something here does not work for me.
Sonali - Awesome color, beautiful woman but shapless dress.

Who: Bhavna Pandey, Surily Goel
Where: Maheep Kapoor's bday

Both, Bhavna and Surily, paired white with gold and they look polished. Cool outfits for summer although Surily's dress resembles a negligee a little bit. Which could be a bad thing or a good thing;-)

Magazine Covers - May 2011

Vogue - Katrina Kaif
Stardust - Sonam Kapoor
Grazia - Lara Dutta
Harper's Bazaar - Malaika Arora Khan

Katrina goes sultry and vamp-y for the Vogue cover. Its a nice change from her saccharine, white outfits and this would have been an amazing cover if not for the yellow fonts all over the place. They are so distracting!

Another month, another Sonam cover, sigh! Hate her hairstyle.

I like Grazia's cover - Lara looks fresh in a simple outfit.

Malaika wore a daring, slutty Pucci crochet dress for the cover. Since the dress is such an eyeful and is obviously meant to be the focus of the cover, everything else was kept simple and unfussy - nude makeup, curly hair, white/black fonts and a neutral background. Great cover - very well styled.
Love Malaika's hairstyle - gives her a soft look.

I really love my...

Who: Neha Dhupia

..black studded vest. I think the beauty of the vest is lost on a black outfit. It looks crisp and smart when worn with a white outfit.

Who: Tisca Chopra

.. DVF clutch. Looks like its Tisca's go-to clutch for pale white outfits! Cant blame her - its pretty cute. Since its a neutral shade, it can be worn with any colored outfit - giving you more bang for your buck.
