Guess what? Britney likes Indian too

Indian styling and emboidery has been in for several years now. Usually trends dip and rise but things Indian have stayed consistent.

I have never been a fan of Britney's -but have to admit I really like this cute number with Indian embroidery that she had on last week.

Leona likes everything Desi

Leona Lewis, protegee of Simone Cowell (of American Idol fame), seems to prefer fashion served up Desi -style. Check out the two outfits she wore for Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday celebrations this week.

This outfit clearly looks like a saree worn gujju style with a kamarpatti (belt) at the waist. The next one designed by Roberto Cavalli has, what looks like, Parsi borders all over it.

Needless to say, I like both the looks. What do you think? Send me your comments.

Look for Less

I saw this style and cut first on Amrita Arora, then on Malaika Arora Khan and now on Priyanka Chopra

If you like this look, you can make it your own at a very very reasonable price from Old Navy for $30.50. Check it out

What were they thinking?

My previous 3 posts have, unintentionally, involved Kareena - so lets move on to her biggest competitor these days. Here is a pic of Katrina from her soon to be released movie "Singh is King"

I dunno who her stylist or designer were for this movie but what were they thinking???? What's with those shoes and SOCKS???? The skirt with gold dots and border is super cute but the blue around the neck and big blob in the center leaves me speechless........ Sure you want your star's outfit to garner attention - but they are going about it all wrong.

Victoria's Secret model Selita Bank's was recently spotted wearing this similar looking Milly dress. This is the way to accessorize an outfit to make it classy.

This outfit also comes in pretty mango and pistachio colors. To buy this outfit go to www.net-a-porter.com.

Scarves in Mumbai

Summer scarves are the hottest trend in both UK and US this year and I was surprised that none of our Bollywood stars or starlets had been spotted wearing one.

Finally, 2 days ago Kareena Kapoor was spotted wearing one (looks like a Burberry scarf to me) at Mumbai airport when leaving for the Temptations Reloaded tour.

While I like the way her outfit is coordinated - I wish she had not winterized her look. It is a summer scarf after all. She should have made it summery and fun like Kate Hudson below. But hey it is a start.......

Respect Your Mother

Kareena was spotted wearing this t-shirt backstage at the recently held IIFA Awards. While we all know that Bebo thinks the world of her mother, this tee refers to Mother as in Mother Nature.

This tee is made by Local Celebrity, the makers of hip and humorous t-shirts. This t-shirt has been made in collaboration with Global Green and is meant to raise awareness and money for a cause that they feel requires more attention - which is Mother Nature.

It can be purchased for $28 from www.localcelebrity.com

I am hoping Kareena was wearing the tee for the above reasons and not just for Babita (seen faintly in the background).

Was the look Indianized or has it been Westernized?

Sienna Miller wore this Jasmile di Milo dress at the Edinburgh premier of her movie " The Edge of Love" on June 18th.

Kareena Kapoor wore a similar looking lehanga choli outfit in every imaginable color in "Dil Haara" song in Tashan. The song was shot probably sometime last year - so Manish did us proud. He cannot be accused of being inspired........

While personally i would not wear either, i like the burst of color in the Kareena's black and white outfit via the red shoe and anklet.

The same concept can be seen in a Westernized outfit and an Indianized outfit. Which do you prefer?
