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...

Lakme Fashion Week, Winter Festive 2010 - Malini Ramani

Malini Ramani showcased Lakmé’s theme for the season - the Gypsy Collection, at the Lakme Fashion Week, Grand Finale. The collection was divided into four segments - Mystery, Bliss, Cosmic and Nirvana of life and consisted of tribal and gypsy looks.
Mystery consisted of black long creations with shimmering mirror and shell embroidery. Bliss was a riot of colors that ranged from yellow, red, orange, black, brown and green. Cosmic mode had outfits that were embellished with the magnificent feather, shell and coins. The show ended with Nirvana which was done in black and red with lots of mirror work.

A very big collection with some dresses that are outstanding and lots that are wearable once you strip away the makeup and accessories. I love most of the outfits in first and third row..The second row is way too colorful for me:-)

Lakme Fashion Week, Winter Festive 2010 - Neeta Lulla

Neeta Lulla celebrated her two decades in the fashion industry with a show that celebrated Bollywood glamour. Her collection consisted of dresses, evening gowns, sequins encrusted turkish pants and net lehenga/sari combos. The garments were dominated by sequins, glittering Swarovski crystals, rosettes and pleating. The fabrics were rich silks, satin, chiffon, net and crepe and the color palette was vibrant yellow, orange, turquoise, blue, mauve, flame red, gold and emerald green.

I found the whole collection loud and tacky and fit only for the silver screen. The showstopper was Sridevi in a gown which I hope I never see again not even in Bollywood item numbers!!

Key Looks

The Always Fabulous SriDevi

Lakme Fashion Week, Winter Festive 2010 - Ravage by raj Shroff

Raj Shroff collection titled, "Alice is Lost", gives the Indian bride a new free-spirited look. He used handloom fabrics along with the popular silk, chiffon, net. Dark green color was the main color in most of his dresses which he teamed up with red, ivory and yellow.

I loved the color combinations Raj has used - very soothing and pleasing to the eye. Fabulous layering and his dresses have a very origami feel. But I really dont think any bride is going to wear something this simple and plain. Maybe for lunch with the girls..

Key Looks

Red Carpet picks: This look is perfect for Kiran Rao (Aamir Khan's wife) and the cast of "Robinhood".

Lakme Fashion Week, Winter Festive 2010 - Shyamal and Bhumika

Decadent is the word that came to mind when I saw Shyamal and Bhumika's collection. They presented a collection that was rich in colors, fabrics and embroidery. Titled "Bejewelled", the collection consisted for regal bridal wear. The fabrics varied from velvets, to lots of silk nets, gold lame and luxurious brocades. The color palette was of jewel tones - bright red, sangria, plum, wine, emerald green, gold ochre and champagne beige dazzled on the ramp. A very beautiful, ornate collection.

Celebs at Lakme Fashion Week Winter 2010

Who: Chitrangada Singh

The trick to wearing a tulle skirt and avoiding the inevitable comparisons to Carrie Bradshaw is to wear anything but pink and to go long. Chitrangda looks like a doll in her beige outfit. I love how her top is in the same color family but not an exact match with the skirt. The bodice is gorgeously embellished and is a nice contrast to the full skirt..

Who: Guest

What a boho-chic look!!

Who: Rhea Kapoor

Rhea continues her love affair with black pants and pairs it with a bold-shouldered jacket. I love the color of the shoes but not its shape. And she also managed to run a comb thru her hair..

Lakme Fashion Week, Winter Festive 2010 - Babita M

Babita's collection at Lakme Fashion Week was called “Irzina Kara” or “Ravishing Earth”. It was inspired by the Cappadocia mountainous province of Turkey. The key features of her collection was asymmetrical silhouettes and structured draping. Dresses had zippers for interest on different parts of the garments and lots of cut work to add dimension to the clothes. Most of her clothes were wearable and easy on the eye. Pooja Batra returned to ramp modeling with Babita's show.

Key Looks

Red Carpet picks : Given her height, Shilpa can carry the first dress in first row to perfection.
