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.

What do you wear to a Bryan Adams concert?

Who: Deepika Padukone, Preity Zinta

Deepika and Preity went for a laid-back, causal look in jeans, tee and shoes. Both look great and I love their hairstyles.

Who: Rani Mukerjee, Madhoo, Amrita Rao

Rani, Madhoo and Amrita upgraded their basic jeans with some glitter and sequins. Not bad, but a clutch to a concert??

Who: Anushka Sharma, Minissha Lamba

Anushka went for a tights + blazer combo and Minissha opted for a tulip skirt paired with a tee.
I like when people mix black and brown but the shoes look a little off with the outfit.
The colors of Minissha's outfit are pretty but am not a big fan of skirts at rock concerts.

Spotted around town

Who: Anushka Sharma
Where: "Band Baaja Baaraat" DVD release

Anushka looks fashionably feminine in a sheath dress with fluttery tiers of net/silk chiffon. This style of dress and hairstyle is becoming Anushka's signature look. She paired the dress with gladiator style flats for which I am not feeling any love.

Who: Aditi Govitrikar
Where: Stardust awards after party

I. WANT. THIS. DRESS. NOW!

Who: Esha Kopikkar
Where: Stardust awards after party

I have never liked long, white dresses for evening wear. They look good only on brides and Christians martyrs.
And that purse looks like a piece of red meat!

Who: Minissha Lamba
Where: Stardust awards after party

Neck up, Minissha looks fab. Love her red painted toes and shoes. The color of the dress is also great but its very badly constructed. The pleats going across and down the side have the look of a last minute job..

Weekend Roundup

Who: Vidya Balan, Urmila Matondkar
Where: At a wedding reception

Red alert!! Vidya and Urmila razzled and dazzled at a recent wedding. Rani wore a reddish-pink saree whereas Urmila went all out in red-n-gold anarkali (Manish Malhotra??). What's ur wedding style - simple like Vidya or OTT like Urmila becoz its a wedding after all?

Who: Karisma Kapur, Rani Mukerjee, Shazahn Padmasee
Where: Launch of Goretti Store, NOKJ promos, "Dil To bacha Hai" promos

Jeans love!! Seriously, jeans are so versatile. You can dress them up with a formal shirt and a nice bag or go for a laid-back look in ripped jeans and simple t-shirt. My favorite is wearing it with nautical stripes and then adding some color with a bag or scarf.

Who: Chitrangada Singh
Where: "Yeh Zindagi sali" film promos

Girl Crush!! Chitrangada is just perfect in every way in this monochromatic outfit and "I WANT THOSE" shoes. This woman looks good in anything! She complete the look with nude makeup and flowy hair.

Who: Minissha Lamba
Where: At "Save out tigers" event

Who let the tiger out?
Not very sure about this one. What do you guys think? Yikes or Yowza??

Best Dressed 2010 - LBD

Who: Malaika Arora Khan, Shilpa Shetty, Dia Mirza

Who: Shilpa, Priyanka Chopra, Sophie Choudry

Who: Neha Dhupia, Sonam Kapoor, Katrina Kaif

Who: Ayesha Thapar, Minissha Lamba, Sushmita Sen

Events: Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se premiere

Who: Deepika Padukone

Deepika wanted to make sure no one steals her thunder, so she went for the brightest shade of red and tiniest blouse/top possible. She wore a Neeta Lulla sari and tied up her hair..She does have a long, slim torso which she showcases to perfection but the color is too "dhinchak" for me..

Who: Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan

Abhishek looks cute although his outfit kinda reminds me of the "band baja (musicians)" people who play in marriages:-) Is he wearing eyeliner?
Aishwarya's sari gives me a sense of deja-vu. And not sure why she put so much sindhoor (vermilion)?

Who: Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka attended the red carpet event in a champagne colored sari with embellishments near the neckline. It does look a little pale compared to Deepika's bridal red but on second look, I do like the color. I also prefer the way Priyanka has worn the sari compared to Deepika. Just goes to show that you can look hot without baring it all:-)

Who: Genelia D'souza, Vidya Maldave, Bhagyashree

All three saris are great but I like Genelia best becoz of her cheeky, messy side plait..

Who: Sonali Bendre

Sonali "shuts it down" in a gorgeous cream-gold outfit. The kurti is the perfect length and with golden clutch and earrings, Sonali is absolutely slamming in this dress.

Who: Sameera Reddy, Minissha Lamba

Both, Sameera and Minissha, should be arrested for Fashion DUI - Dressing Under the Influence!!

Bollywood celebrates Diwali!!

Winter White

Who: Mallika Arora Khan, Laila Khan
Where: Shilpa Shetty's Diwali party

White can look phenomenally chic when done right. Love both their outfits - they look polished and classy.

Who: Suzanne Roshan, Minissha Lamba
Where: Shilpa Shetty Diwali Party, Tushar Kapoor Diwali party

Suzanne's sparkly Loubs are to die for and the red bindi looks good on her. As far as her outfit is concerned, it is too bland compared to her clutch.
I like the top part of Minissha's anarkali. The rest looks El-Cheapo!

Nude Tones

Who: Prachi Desia, Mehr Ramphal
Where: Shilpa Shetty's Diwali party

Prachi wore a cute outfit with some really ugly shoes!
Mehr's dress is elegant and classy but the problem is that Mehr tends to favor nude makeup and with no accessories, it gives her a very 'Plain-Jane' feel.

Color me bright

Who: Kareena Kapoor
Where: Tushar Kapoor's Diwali party

Kareena in a very loud Manish Malhotra outfit and wa-a-y to much blush. She can give any drag queen a run for her money!!

Orange Delights

Who: Dia Mirza, Neelam
Where: Shilpa Shetty's Diwali party

Dia and Neelam look youthful and charming in their outfits. Didnt like Neelam's clutch - would have preferred something more ethereal.

Revenge of the stylists!!

Who: Ameesha Patel, Genelia D'Souza, Amrita Arora

Ameesha - We get it that you have boobs! Do you have to showcase then at every party??
Genelia - Are you color blind?? She looks like a movie extra from a from a c-grade movie!!
Amrita - The circus clown called - he wants his outfit back!!

Looks of the day

Who: Sonali Bendre
Where: Omega watches fashion show

Sonali in a lovely shade of purple. Neck up, she looks fresh and pretty. The dress has a lot going on the top -lots of pleats, ruffles and sweetheart neckline. It is really isn't that bad except somehow I get the feeling she is wearing body armor. Seriously, if the hemline was higher, I could have sworn its Xena, the warrior princess!!

Who: Shilpa Shetty
Where: Auditioning for models for Vera Mode show

I really like Shilpa's top here that she paired with skinnies and some ugly shoes. The addition of vest was a smart move and the necklace adds some color. Nice fringed bag..

Who: Minissha Llamba
Where: MAMI film festival

White with sequins is tricky to pull off and there is a fine line between looking tacky and looking spectacular. Minissha is right in the middle..She wears it well but there is a punch missing. Have to credit her for getting the hair and earrings right..

Left: Isha Koppikar, Right: Guest
Where: Maheka Mirpuri preview

Isha - The scarf/duppata is great, the oufit is nice but together they are so OTT...

Guest - Leopard print, layered chains, studded bag, gladiator shoes. Girlfriend is a walking catalog of Fall 2010 trends!!

Style Diaries

Who: Chitrangda Singh
Where: "Yeh Sali Zindagi" Film launch

Chitrangda is a picture of pure prettiness in this drapey, greenish-teal dress. Glossy, shiny hair and nude shoes complete the look. She is having a good run on the red carpet - wonder what she will wow in next?

Who: Rani Mukerjee
Where: Various Durga puja events

Of the two saris that Rani wore to different events, I love the white/gold one. Rani is a picture of elegance and sophistication in that sari which she perfectly accessorized it with stunning gold jewelery.

The first sari looks like a Sabyasachi and has too much going on at once. The mix of prints as well as color makes it very busy although neck up Rani looks lovely.

Who: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Where:Zee TV "Action Replayy" diwali event

Aiswharya wore Manish Malhotra outfits to the Zee TV event. I like the color of the first one but the blue panel at the hemline ruins the outfit. The second outfit has dark, dull colors but looks OTT becoz of the gold embroidery. Most importantly, she need to fix her hair color!! It looks fake and ages her..

Left: Amrita Rao at AD Singh Sangeet
Center: Minissha Lamba at AD Singh Sangeet
Right: Carol Garcias at JCB salon launch

Ladies in red!! Given that fact that the first two outfits are for a Sangeet ceremony, I would say all of them are looking pretty decent. What I can get over is Carol Garcias hair!!
Did she get pranked by her hair stylist?? Seriously, it looks like she has a nest on her head!! or is it roadkill??

Events: Dabangg premiere

Who: Bipasha Basu

Just yesterday, Bipasha bowled us over with her green dress and she wows us again in this beautiful white/gold saree. Bipasha tends to be a little OTT when it comes to Indian attire but hits all the right notes in this saree. Love the golden blouse, hon..

Who: Sridevi

Sridevi goes for classy in a monochromatic look in fall's hot beige/nude color. The shade looks gorgeous on her and I like how she plays with shape and proportion. The delicate chain belt is a spot on final touch. My only complain is that she should have worn a bright red lip color..

Who: Malaika Arora Khan

Dont you just hate Malaika? She manages to make an unforgiving, clingy dress look amazing!! Malaika dazzled in her snake print gown teamed with big, ornate earrings and red BV clutch..

Left: Jacqueline Fernandez, Right: Minissha Lamba

Jacqueline is very smartly dressed in an outfit more appropriate for working in the airline industry than the red carpet..

First Aishwarya, and now Minissha is a proud owner of a flashy, tacky gold LV..Her white dress with white Mary-Jane is not that bad..

Left: Amrita Arora, Center: Shahzahn Padamsee, Righ: Juhi Chawla

Amrita in Vikram Phadnis attire. The top is awesome but not really going with the black pants..

Shahzahn looks sleek in her abstract print dress - love her hairstyle and shoes..

Juhi in her standard uniform - kurti with pants..The color of the kurti is bright and cheery and a nice contrast to her khakis..

Daily Catch

Who: Minissha Lamba
Where: Swarovski Gem show

What's not to like? Minissha wears one of the hottest Fall 2010 trend - brocade and hits all the right notes. She paired the blackish blue mini with deep teal shoes and clutch. A seriously elegant cocktail look...

Who: Deepika Padukone
Where: "Lafanget Parindey" promotions

Deepika went for a casual look with short kurti and skinny jeans. This is a very typical Deepika attire - she tends to prefer casuals vs a dressed up look. I like the kurti but it doesn't really go with the jeans.. What do you guys think? Yay or Nay?

Who: Isha Koppikar
Where: "Hello Darling" promotions

Even though the bag looks so out of proportion, Isha looks pretty smart and reasonable here - maybe its time for my eye examination!!

Who: Gul Panang
Where: "Hello Darling" Promotions

You...Off my planet!!
