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..

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??

HDIL couture week - Manish Malhotra

It hardly been a month since Lakme Fashion Week'10 got over and now we are having HDIL couture week in Bombay!! Why do we have a fashion week every month in India? same designers, same celebs?? All the fashion capitals are showcasing Spring/Summer'11 right now and we are still showing Winter'10??Whats up with that??

Ok, I am done with the ranting:-)

The HDIL was kick-started by none other than Manish Malhotra who presented a bridal couture collection with 55 outfits!! According to Manish "Emerald is the new bridal color". His collection was gorgeous and glamorous. I can see hordes of soon-to-be-brides lining up in front of his stores:-)

My top picks

The showstopper was none other than Ms Rai who walked to ramp after 15 or so years. She wore a lehenga in cream. Wait a sec, bridal wear in white?? hmmmm...Anyways, she looks stunning in smoky eyes and voluminous hair, teased at the crown. Love her makeup, cant say the same about her outfit which really wasn't a showstopper:(
