Oh no Freida

One of my readers just forwarded this picture to me. It appeared in Midday

It read

Will someone please teach our girls how to wear minis and not flash their inners a la Britney Spears? It's possible, you know. Freida Pinto flashed more than her smile at the press meet of Slumdog Millionaire at Imax Big at Wadala.

Elegance....

I think I am well on my way to becoming an ardent admirer of Sonam's sense of style. I like how she is familiar with the trends, with the labels and is not afraid to use them to best suit her. Take a look at her picture from last week's 54th Filmfare Awards Press Conference in New Delhi.

I like the beige/cream belted dress ( many Indian women shy away from wearing this color as they are afraid it may make them look washed out), the subtle make up and the hair pulled back into a pony tail look. Also, I love the Marc Jacobs Stam bag she is carrying.

Also she is not wearing any earrings. Ladies, it is ok to not wear earrings with some outfits, it actually looks real good. Breath easy - it is just naked earlobes.

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

Slumdog does it again

The Slumdog Millionaire cast won the award for Best Cast in a motion picture. All the 3 guys looked real dapper in their suits and Freida looked beautiful in a blue Marchesa gown.

Seeing Double

Jiah Khan wore a red dress to the Slumdog Premier. For some reason that dress looked awfully familiar. Did not know why - now I do. Check my coverage on the many CC2C premiers. I think Deepika wore the same dress.

Wonder who the designer is? Does not matter - still don't like it.

My Pet Peeve

Matchy Matchy couples. Abhiash are notorious for doing that. Matching jeans and white shirt combos or matching jeans and leather jackets - come on. And now it is Suzanne and Hritik Roshan.

Matching their jeans with black blazers. Inspite of that bright red shirt - guys so NOT CUTE. Grow up

Slumdog Millionaire Premier in Mumbai

One of my readers emailed me saying that I should do a Fashion Hit or Miss of the evening for every major event. Thanks for the suggestion, I really like it. So I will start with the Mumbai premier of Slumdog.


HITS

The numero uno Hit of the evening was definitely the cast and crew of Slumdog Millionaire.

Its Black and White. Sonam Kapoor and Vidya Balan are both rocking their outfits. I like Sonam's sequinned black ensemble, make up and hair. Vidya has not looked this good in a long time. Kudos for staying simple, elegant and graceful.

I like this dress on Genelia and more so the fact that she used the big bright red clutch as contrast. Very sweet.

Seeing pics of Ness and Preity together after a long time ( guess they are still together). Yes another B&W combo. But I like. Very elegant and classy just wish she had added a pop of color either in accessories or shoes or clutch.

I like Sonia Mehra's sense of style and defi this dress . She has the body and attitude to carry this Bebe outfit off.

This blue is defi the color of the season (Freida, Sonia and Shruti are all wearing it). It is also gorgeous in a maxi (Tabu wore the color as a maxi at the Screen awards)

MISSES

I like the fact that Freida wore Indian for the Mumbai premier, just think the ensemble and especially the color are really bad. Very dissapointing.

Yes that bright blue again but this time in its over bright avtaar and teamed with that ghastly green - this outfit is too "chatak"

Once voted the best dresser in Bollywood, Sushmita really has been dissapointing her fans of late. Dunno what to make of her crumpled aluminium foil (looking) dress.

I said it earlier and will say it again - you can have all the money, label and stylist in the world but it still will not buy you good taste. Logoed belt, cuff , bag - terrible. Extreme case of over accessorizing.

Yes, I saved the best for the last. Just look at the duo. I rest my case.

the others....

Ok so after the CC2C here were the other noteworthy (or not ) dressers of the evening

So here is Arbaaz Khan with his bibi Malaika and saali Amrita. Malaika is in dressed in her typical style - a gown with thigh high slits and plunging necklace, ho hum. I like Amrita's dress and the booties. I just don't know if I like them together and on her.

I love Sonia Mehra's ( late actor Vinod Mehra's daughter) sense of style. She is not afraid of taking risks, plays with styles and color and is never insipid. I love ther red offshoulder dress on her. It is bright, young and fun.


Now for the socialites - man..... you can have all the money in the world, all the labels and designers at your feet - but you just can buy style. Tell me if I am wrong....

Sheetal Maftalal. Yes you are wearing a Versace dress, but what's with the bling - armlet, shoulder lenght earrings, blingy clutch and shoes. ewwwwwwwwwwwww

I like Nawaz Singhania's dress but you don't team a dress like that with silver Kolhapuri wedges and a grey batua purse

Arti and Kailash Sundernath are a made for each other couple. They are both always so off the wall - they leave everyone speechless.

I love the color of Queenie Dhody's dress and like the emerald and diamond jewelry, I just do not like the "chatak (bright)" gold of her clutch.
