Cannes Day 2
The morning saw Aishwarya Rai posing in an Emilio Pucci day dress with Louboutin espadrilles. After the horse mane, this is a much much better showing. And the sunglasses hide the brow. What more to ask for? Very very nice.
In the evening, she wore a black Armani Prive gown to the premiere of On Tour. I love the dress and the Ferregamo clutch but would have loved the shoes in a slightly darker shade. She posses amazingly well, and aside from the brow, she look gorgeous albeit a little tired.
Deepika Padukone also made her one day appearance for Chivas wearing a sari created by Rohit Bal. I absolutely loved the sari and the back detail on the blouse. The kundan earrings are to die for as well. The make up is on the spot this time. Love the look but maybe a longer pallu? Ok ok, I won't complain. Love the look.

And It Continues...
Just when we thought that Aishwarya had fixed her international wardrobe, she goes and gets herself a new hairstylist who makes her hair into a bee-hive that is about the size of her face. And I don't want to get started on the left eyebrow. But I have to ask, why is it pointing north when everything else is pointing south? Really now...!! What a way to ruin that lovely Elie Saab couture gown. It's one of the most beautiful dresses I've seen in a long time. All that said, below the neck, an awesome appearance.

Cannes Film Festival Style
Deepika Padukone is representing India at the Cannes Film Festival this year and she is being dressed up by Rohit Bal. After a hiatus due to his illness, Rohit Bal has promised us some gorgeous clothes for Ms. Padukone. He says he wants to make her look like the Indian princess she is. Here's a first look at what is to come in the next few days.
I am liking the white and brown. But what has suddenly happened to Ms. Padukone's otherwise flawless make up person? What is the deal with her foundation that doesn't match her skin tone and her eyes? Is she trying to channel some weird form of Aishwarya Rai and Kareena Kapoor. Am loving the outfit the more I look at it. I think it looks even more awesome on her because of her height, but can she please please take someone else for her make up? Pretty please?

Reception Fashion
Newly weds Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik held their reception in Hyderabad a week ago. Sania wore a traditional outfit designed by Shantanu Nikhil. I love how she chos eto go uber tradition for both events. I am loving the way the 9 yard dupatta has been draped. She is also carrying a red Bottega Knot. The necklace seems very similar to the one she wore for her engagement to Sohrab Mirza.
Thay also held another grand reception (or their Walima) in Sialkot. Sania wore another outfit designed by Shantanu - Nikhil and paire it with the same Bottega Knot. Love the clutch, but it gets lost in all the red. Sania does look lovely in this outfit. The make up is much better than last time round.The jewellery was of the same style as the Indian reception.

Ravana Music Launch
Mani Ratnam's much awaited Ravan's music launch saw a very giggly, caked Aishwarya and mud covered, kohl wearing Abhishek take centre stage. Ar Rahman's music was absolutely divine. Aishwarya though fell way short in her too much make up and overy blingy sari. I do like her earrings, but fewer bangles would have been nice. And there definitely seems to be something up with her face. Eyebrow lift or botox in place definitely or maybe some cheek implants. I like that she has draped her sari properly.

IPL Awards Night - The Bad
Why would someone attend an awards night when they do not have the time to buy a mirror in their house? Or a blow dryer? And us poor souls who do everything we possibly can to look good, never get an invite now do we?
Amrita Rao looks like she got a hair cut. But didn't blow dry it. Her baby doll dress is too plain ( and not the good plain). Remove the embellishment at the bust and it would seem like a night gown. Her make up is oily. Please please please get yourself a nice stylist.
Siddharth Mallya looks sleep deprived. Maybe he was worrying about his team's performance in the pre-final game? Do not like the sequinned piping on his jacket.
This one I need help with. Why is a former Miss Afghanistan there at the awards night? Look scaring while making her appearance as well. Her dress is a little too short and a bit too red. Actually, this one in the same cut as Ms. Rao's I might have been singing a different tune.
Why is Sherlyn Chopra here? Really. That dress is plain ugly. The shoes are tacky. The make up is bad. The belt, which is the only half decent thing about the outfit is lost in all the bad.
Payal Rohatgi is another one who doesn't seem to have gotten any sleep. The dress is ugly, she is in desperate need of spanx and the shoes are pretty but lost with that plain old boring dress. Note to self - Never forget to condition hair.

IPL Awards Night - The Almost Brigade
As with every red carpet, some people looked amazing, but there were certain sore points in their outfits. Maybe, that's just me being picky. But here's a look at those who looked good, just not absolutely amazing.
Ok, I think it is completely me. Priyanka Chopra looks nice in her stage appearance. The blinginess of the sequined waist coat and shorts would look tacky anywhere, but I think it's perfect for a stage appearance. The footwear is slightly off though.
Katrina Kaif looks divine in her stage sari outfit. I do not like the sari or the blouse though. The one boob draping needs to go irrespective of whether or not it's a stage outfit.
Diya Mirza always gives us amazing looks on and off the red carpet. Here again she looks gorgeous, but I don't quite like the pairing of those shoes with that dress. The t-straps just don't seem dressy enough. Good old black pumps or strappy stilettos and this would have been in the best dressed.
Shamita Shetty looks nice in her purple look. The accessories are spot on, but the dress in itself is nother to brag about. Love the Bottega Knot in she's carrying.

IPL Awards Night - The Good
So IPL is drawing to a close and we can all rejoice the TV being turned to a channel apart from Max. The awards night was host to a bevy of celebrities dressed to the nines. Team owners, friends of team owners, players....everyone made an appearance. Here's a look at those who were absolutely flawless...
Shilpa Shetty look gorgeous in her blue dress. Am a little iffy about the slit, but her entire less - is - more with the bling has me sold on her look.
Both Nita Ambani and Mugdha Godse look beautiful in their respective outfits. I like the exposed front zipper detail on Mrs. Ambani's tunic very much. A nice subtle fusion of Indian and Western - amazing. And Ms. Godse's shoes are totally drool - worthy.
Finally, Sameera Reddy gives us a look that we can find no fault with. The champagne coloured dress is beautiful and the subtle accessories complete and complement the look perfectly.
Who can ever find fault with the Rampals? Their super model genes just mean that they come out looking like, well super models every time they step out. I have completely fallen for Mehr's glamourized look.

Wedding Style - Congratulations!!!!
After a lot of hype and hoopla, Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik tied the knot in Hyderabad under media scrutiny. (I don't understand why the media are pissed now when they weren't pissed with Mr. Bachchan when he was asking a bunch of buses to prevent people from taking pictures of his son as a groom...hmmm..). Back to the post. If only she had commissioned Shantanu - Nikhil to do the outfits for the sangeet and mehendi functions as well. She does look like a glowing bride though - her happiness shines through. Wishing her a very happy life ahead.
I do find it very nice that she wore her mother's wedding outfit without changing it much. I love the traditional look and the jewelery is perfect without being too much of a bling overload. I would have liked to see a different bag but then the overall look is very pretty.
Like I said, no comments on the sangeet and mehendi outfits. Note to all those brides out there, please do check how your make up is going to look with the flash before you zero down on the one look for the big day.

Shantanu Nikhil - On Sale
This one's for all of you who loved this Monisha Jaisingh outfit on Queenie, but would prefer not having the cutouts. Lara, Genelia and Arpita also wore outfits with a lovely Grecian drape and shoulder detailing.
This one of course is by Shantanu Nikhil. It is available on www.desicouture.net for Rs. 24,000. They ship worldwide and is an amazing cocktail dress buy.

Lakme Fashion Week - Rocky S
Rocky S opened Fashion Week with his latest offerings. As with the other collections on the day, pastels seem to be what the fashionistas ordered.
The jewelled headbands are totally awesome. Love the almost bridal bling without being OTT. Could channel Aishwarya or Shilpa's bridal look with that patta with a little modern flair thrown in. The salwars are nice and short lengths seem to be coming back in. Don't like the bits of tulle hanging out in the dresses though :(
Liked Bipasha's sari but there seems to be something wrong happening at the top. The shrug/ extra fabric throws the outfit off and the styling leaves a lot to be desired. Her necklace is to-die-for. Queenie's jewellery adds the right amount of kick to all outfits and this necklace is no exception.

Lakme Fashion Week - Nikasha Tawadey
Nikasha's collection was comprised of nice earthy tones. The garments were all very wearable and here's a look courtesy rediff.com:
She started off with an exquisite white sari with an earthy orange border. It is a welcome relief from the usual bling that we have been served with. The other orange/ red blouses had a very interesting design as well. The lehengas are very romantic and dreamy and would make an excellent addition to any bride's wardrobe. For once, harem style pants actually look nice.
Would also like to make a note of the footwear. It coordinates very well with each ensemble and the models have been styled o-so-similarly, but the outfits make them look very different from each other. Loving this offering!!!! What about you???

Reliance BIG Pictures - The Bad
As usual, some people will always find the frumpiest of clothes in their closet to display to us.
Ok Mr. Bachchan please don't sue me for this!! But bahu rani Aishwarya seems to think she has come to a press conference. The assymetrical silk top, ill-fitting pants and boots do not look good together (don't think the top would look good anywhere). On a side note, why would you wear boots in Mumbai heat?
The blazer and the shirt are fine, but these denims really need to go. I would love to see Mr. Shroff in a better hair-do and not look like he rolled out of bed.
Ashu's better half is the worse of the duo here. The satin pants are, well, really really ugly and the waist-coat like top is a really bad match with those pants. Maybe on a nice skirt and it would have been a whole different story.
Ms. Lambba seems to have slept with her make-up on after the Fimfare awards and come straight to this party. The make-up overload, the bit too blingy clutch and the pose need to go. Her shoes were nice though.
Rekha came wearing the same velvet/ velour monstrosity that she wore to the Stardust(?) awards a year or so ago. Didn't like it then and it's still ugly now. Neck up she looks like the diva she is.
Neither sister makes an impact with their outfits. Riya does better than Raima but her LBD is slightly ill-fitting. Raima is wearing wayy to much of a shiny velvety fabric that no longer looks good even on curtains.
While I'm loving the pink of Kangana's outfit, the hair and the sucked in cheeks throw me off. This girl has amazing skin though.
Shahid Kapoor looks like the chocolate boy he is, but the outfit like Mrs. Bachchan's is inappropriate, The shirt should have been slightly shorter. He appears as though he turned up here from a bar fight.
