All wrong


Either it is her posture or it is the dress, I am not sure, but Nisha Jamval looks preggers in this pic. I like the color of the dress and that is where it ends. Starting with the posture, going on to the insipid color stole with the pompoms to the big artifical flower in the hair to the blinged out cat pin to the uninspiring shoes - it is all too much and wrong. It is a big lesson to all of us to what NOT to do.

Repeat

It is good to know that stars repeat outfits just like we do. The faux pas they sometimes make (see the comment one reader made about Akshay at Nokia Awards) is that they repeat outfits too soon. You cannot do that especially when you are watched and captured on film as often as most of our stars.


Priety wore this top two days ago at the Gitanjali Party. I distinctly remembered her wearing this top earlier ( because I really liked it) while returning/going to Elizabeth Hurley and Arun Nayar's wedding in Rajasthan in Jan 2007 - exactly 2 years ago.

Do you think this top is still trendy? Let me know what you think...

Dissapointed

I am a huge fan of Malaika Arora. I give her a lot of credit for how she has maintained her career and figure post marriage and kids. I also give her a lot more credit for the guts she has to wear and carry off the outfits that she usually wears.

Of late, however, she has not been making great choices. Take a look:





There is something called dressing age appropriately. Here I don't think the dress suits her and absolutely do not like her purse. Malaika what happened??? Also take a look here - so not cool girl..............

You like?


Sonam Kapoor was invited as a guest on the Indian Idol 4 show. As can be seen in the picture she is definitely trying to promote her new movie Delhi 6 by wearing this salwaar kameez with jhoomkas and jootis. What do you think? Do you like it?

Personally, I love the colors, bright and fun. The colors together are very funky and I love how they look together, BUT, yes there is a but, it is not an outfit many of us can pull off.

Reason being, the kurta is short and flared (has a lot of kalis). Unless you are extremely thin like Sonam, you should not be wearing it as it can make you look hippy. Also the extremes of color on the salwaar, kameez and dupatta can stunt you (visually). Women who are 5'4" or less should try to stick with wearing the salwaar and kurta in the same color to give the illusion of height.

On the whole I love how she looks and I love that she does not play safe and has fun with her clothes.

Who wore it Better?

Unlike most of the other women at the Awards show, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wore a chudidar kurta. Interestingly, the outfit looks very similar to the one that Twinkle wore to one of the CC2C premiers.




Which one do you prefer? For me, it is Twinkle. Love the color of the outfit and the darker green edging to the dupatta ( I totally don't like the chamki gold on Ash's). Also I love the copper clutch that Twinkle carried. I am getting a little tired of Ash's carrying the crystal Lieber clutch with most of her Indian outfits.

Whose outfit do you like better. Post a comment below

Nokia Annual Star Screen Awards 2009

This was the first of the Indian Awards show for this year. Inspite of the war of words between Ashutosh Gowarikar and host Sajid Khan, it was quite the show.



It was hard not to notice the prevelant fashion trend at this ceremony. Most of the ladies present were decked out in floor length dresses - call them whatever you like - gowns or maxis - I love the style. Let 's check which of these were hits and which were misses :(
































I love the electric blue color and the one shoulder style of Tabu's maxi - both color and style are very current trends. While I don't much care for the satin look of Katrina's gown I will admit the color and gown look good on her.
































Sorry do not care for either Asin's peach maxi or Celina's wierd brown blue shaded one (what was that???)





























Now for the First Wives Club - I love Suzzane's Pucci dress ( I don't much care for her husband's bright green shirt). Yes, it's them again - Twinkle once again looks divine in her maxi and metallic clutch. Akshay looks good just because he is standing next to her.




























I love the fact that both these ladies - Hard Kaur in turquoise and Mugdha (from Fashion) in bright pink - were bold enough to wear these colors and they carry them of well too.






























I do not like the white gown on Vidya (of Chak De fame). It some how makes her look pregnant and that gold and pearl choker with this dress - honey noooo. What can one say about Amrita Rao - she has matched her grey gown with grey contact lenses??? And that teeny tiny bag on her wrist????? This girl needs a stylist ASAP.




I would love to hear what you think. Leave me a comment

Whew, they are done

Thank goodness, looks like this will be the end of the this premier round. I could not resist showing you pictures from the grand finale.




Ok not bad I thought, until I saw his shoes.................






Very tame compared to her previous choices. Ok... but still no accessories. Still figuring this one out.
