Seen a couple of hours ago: Freida and Dev in London

Hot of the press:

On screen and off screen couple Freida Pinto and Dev Patel are in London today for the screening of their movie Slumdog Millionaire at Film4 Summer Screen. Here are the pictures taken a couple of hours earlier.

I like Dev but I am not sure I like his white shirt with the black edging. Also the pant and blazer colors do not seem to match. Was he wearing a make shift suit or just 3 disjointed pieces put together? Don't know and don't like.

Freida as usual looks great, love her hair and make up. Like the dress, love the embroidered multi-colored clutch and the big chunky bracelet. The only think I would have loved to see on her would have been a different pair of shoes. These are too boring, something a bit more edgy would have been nice.

Do you agree? Let me know your thoughts.

Sanjay Kapoor's Housewarming Party

So Sanjay Kapoor and his wife Maheep had their Housewarming Party this week. Obviously their closest friends the Khan's had to be there. Gauri and Shahrukh arrived in their white convertible BMW along with cronies Chunky and Bhavana Pandey.





I love Gauri's Jean Paul Gaultier dress. Love the bright yellow color and the leather neckline. Do not have a full length picture so don't know what she teamed the dress with - hope it was a cute pair of booties.




Finally, a pair of nude colored pumps. I was wondering when they were going to show up in Bollywood. Nude pumps have been the rage in Hollywood since last year. They look best teamed with a dress and elongate your legs and give a taller appearance. So Anna Singh was the first one to take the plunge, I just wish she had worn them with a dress.

Just FYI - Anna was one of the first stylist/designers in Bollywood and started her career styling Jackie Shroff.


Grown up men should not be dressing like this. Let's start from L to R. Manish's tee looks like he is wearing a white sleeved t-shirt under a black halter shirt. What is that??? Now KJo, that is a very insipid shirt he has on, those colors do nothing for our Indian skin tone. Gosh, I just thought he would know better. And finally the host Sanjay Kapoor - grown up men should not be wearing white belts with a Superman logo. Especially not with a shirt that has a white collar and cuffs. Try not to wear a "baba" suit next time, Sanjay.

Spot On

Inspite of having been one of the top models in India and being one of the most popular Bollywood actresses, Deepika Padukone has never been in the Best Dressed list. Her choice of clothes have ranged from teeny bopper choices to extremely bizarre.

But there seems to be hope. At a showing of her new movie "Love Aaj Kal" with Saif, she was spot on with all the latest trends and wore this outfit well.

Her denim shirt dress teamed with metallic gladiator sandals, chunky gold bangles and a side slung messenger bag encompass all the trends of summer. Keep it up Deepika.

Same ol' same ol

Kareena has worn some amazing outfits in Kambakth Ishq, so seeing her in this very insipid saree soon after was very disappointing.

I bet this is a Manish Malhotra saree and we all know that both he and her can do a lot better. The same ol' shaded chiffon saree with border and zari work and halter/spaghetti strap blouse and blingy chandelier earrings - sooooo boring. How about some change in the saree department Kareena?

Wear what suits your body type

Every fashion magazine at some point has mentioned that always wear what suits your body. It does not matter what is in fashion or what looks good on some one else.

This holds true for everyone - including Priyanka Chopra. She has one of the best bodies in business in Bollywood today - but this dress was just not right for her.

Either she forgot to wear her Spanx that night or suck the belly in when the photographers were hovering. Tsk Tsk

Dress like Freida

Its been a while. After the overload of Freida Pinto pictures, there was a lull. Now here she is again. Freida was recently spotted in New York, going out for dinner.



I really like the butterfly print dress, very cute and summer appropriate. I am not quite sure why she was wearing her aviator sunglasses at night though. Trying to avoid the press maybe? I personally don't like her red shoes, the color is too in your face and style and size both appear to be wrong. If she had worn a stappy black pair instead, it would have been perfect.


If you would like a dress similar to Freida's take a look at this

This dress is available for $49.99 at www.modcloth.com

Shruti Hassan's style

Kamal Hassan and Sarika's daughter Shruti is making her debut with Imraan Khan in Luck. You can tell from Shruti's dressing that she is in on the trends and her style is edgy. But she is just starting out and has room for improvement. Here is a look at some of her latest outfits.




She has the trend nailed with the plaid dress, and the color definitely works for her. Also, I like the studded cuff on her wrist. What I would have done differently for her? Gotten rid of the bee hive on her head for some poker straight rocker locks and changed the pumps for some killer peep toe booties.










This was Shruti's outfit for the screening of Luck in Bangalore. I like the black skinny jeans, black top, the slouchy brown bag, and the leather and gold chain link necklace. But she should not have worn two pink items - too matchy matchy. It should have been either just pink shoes minus the pink jacket or the pink jacket but teamed with black shoes.
But there is definitely hope for her.
