Magazine Covers II - December 2010

Elle - Aishwarya Rai
L'officiel - Kangana Ranaut

Aishwarya in Rohit Bal for Elle cover. I am not sure abt the dress but I love her half-turned pose - looks very regal and the color of the masthead. Totally digging the whole composition but wish the cover didnt have so much written on it. And is there any mystique left to Aish?? or in any other celeb?? The way media covers them, I bet I can tell the brand/color of their undies....

Kangana in Ellie Saab for L'Officiel cover. Again a great cover with the red flowing dress but she has been photo-shopped beyond recognition. And while they were at it, couldn't they change her expression? Looks like she smelled something bad..Maybe the photographer farted:-) I couldnt resist:-)

Sugar and Spice ..and everything nice

Who: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Where: Launch of Longines DolceVita Collection

Aishwarya wore a simple yet stunning blue strapless gown to the launch of Longines new collection. I love the effect created by the dark blue at the bust and the subtle shading of the gown. This color looks great on her. She went for a dramatic hairstyle and smoky eyes.
Not a big fan of bouffants and would have preferred a more modern updo...Aish is looking good and she knows it!!

Did you notice how her left eyebrow is arched in all the pics:-)

Who: Mallika Sherwat
Where: At Baroda

Havent seen her for a while!! Mallika keeps everything covered and PG13 in a brown-white mini-dress. Cute golden bangles and the shawl/scarf really adds punch to the outfit...

Who: Katrina Kaif
Where: "Tees Maar Khan" promos in Dubai

From whatever I can see, looks like we have another winner on Katrina - Queen of White. She wore a cream one-shoulder dress while promoting her new movie in Dubai. For once, the dress is not all sugary-sweet *cough* Barbie *cough* but chic and sophisticated..Wonder what shoes she wore:P

Who: Kalyani Chawla
Where: Sanjay Kapoor's bash at the Taj hotel

Kalyani makes a glam statement in silk harem pants, a fur vest and CD handbag. A total luxe look and a nice way to keep warm and be stylish!! I love the textural clash between fur and silk and how she kept the top and bottom in the same color family for a sleek look.

Who: Sophie Choudry
Where: Neha Oberoi Wedding

Sophie tweeted this pic of hers in a Manav Gangwani lace sari. Gorgeous, delicate sari but I am not sure if this revealing top is appropriate for a wedding. There is a time to dress slutty and there is a time to dress modestly....I know I am such a prude:-)

Looks of the day

Who: Katrina Kaif
Where: "TMK" game release

Yup, I know Katrina is taking the "Barbie" thing way too seriously but have to say this dress is a winner. Love the simplicity and clean lines of this outfit. And black peep-toes give it a chic, smart look.. The bow at the waist could have used some perkiness:-)

Who: Priyanka Chopra
Where: Pearls press meet

Priyanka is back in her minis!! Yawn!!
Love her booties..hmm, Not sure if I like this hairstyle..Makes her look old. or is it the makeup?

Who: Nicole Faria
Where: Welcome Party

Congrats to Nicole for winning the Miss Earth 2010!!
Wishing you a future as bright and shiny as ur dress!!

Weekend Round

Who: Karishma Kapoor
Where: JPEL race and Geetanjali fashion show

Is it just me or does it look as if the outfit is hanging on Karishma's tiny frame? I am ok with the loose top but would have preferred a more tailored skirt. She accessorized with Chanel necklace, Chanel bag and glowing skin!! Nice sunnies..

Who: Shazahn Padamsee
Where: JPEL race and Geetanjali fashion show

Shahzahn went all girly-girl in a pink floral dress. She looks fresh but for once I want to see someone in bollywood do a floral with some really tough, edgy shoes.

Who: Dia Mirza
Where: Judge at Navy queen contest

Thats a really great color but feeling no love for her dress or her shoes. Neck up, Dia is gorgeous..

Who: Kangana Ranuat
Where: Koffee with Karan

After Deepika-Sonam and Kareena-Saif, this episode with Kangana-Anil Kapoor-Sanjay Dutt must have been pretty boring..Unless Carrot-top's boob popped out... Did it???
What do you think of her outfit? I like the outfit but hate her makeup and hair color...

Who: Shamita Shetty
Where: Anmol jewelers collection preview

At least one of the Shetty sisters is getting her accessories right!! Shamita looks lovely in a simple sequins top and jeans, Gucci bag and slingbacks. Lately, she has been doing really swell on the red carpet, managing to outshine her tacky-accessories-obsessed sister..you go , girl!!

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.

Events: Burberry bash - Part 2

Who: Shilpa Shetty
Where: Anmol jewelery preview(day), Burberry event (night)

A request to all designers: Please ban Shilpa from ur boutiques. Stop lending your outfits to her. She butchers them with the most atrocious accessories possible!!

Events: Burberry bash - Part 1

Who: Sushmita Sen, Preity Zinta

Sushmita wore a DKNY jersey dress to the event and Preity went with a Burberry military jacket that she paired with a LBD and Chanel bag. Preity looks polished and chic in that outfit. Have I told you how much I adore her??
I know you guys heart Sush but can I dare to say she looks a little bland..

Who: Malaika Arora Khan, Nandita Mahtani, Natasha Poonawala

Nandita scores in her sequins and leather one-shoulder dress. I love the draping and the mix of these two contrasting fabrics.
Natasha wore a colorblock Herver Leger bandage dress with Bottega Veneta clutch - two of the most commonly owned items in Bollywood today:-)
Malaika's outfit is also divine but she got her accessories wrong. I can live with the cage booties but the golden jeweled clutch is too much of a clash...

Who: Ayesha Takia Azmi, Laila Khan, Lisa Haydon

Loving Ayesha's bold red lips!! She looks cute in her ruffle top and skinnies.
Laila teamed a black corset with satin pants and some bold jewelery. Not sure why everyone is into orange hair nowadays? Ditch the tacky purse and we are talking..
Ignore Lisa's awkward pose. I have new respect for her - She scored a Burberry Porsum dress for the event!!
