Reading The Not So Fine Print...

Either, its the plain dresses with jewelled accents or these 'overdose-of-print' dresses... why, oh why can't she reach a happy medium!?!

At the Hello magazine anniversary party, we also noticed that she was carrying a vintage Judith Leiber Rose Minaudiere but with that dress, how could anyone notice anything?

Dressed Up Or Dressed Down

In Mathew Williamson

Malaika Arora Khan sure can do 'dress-up' or 'dress-down' with equal aplomb...

I love her in the Mathew Williamson maxi dress (a big trend this season) which retails for over 2000$ !!! As for the Bebe top, just as we were beginning to wonder at the lack of Bebe sightings (again, again, and again) there she is! Sure doesn't disappoint us!

I hate anything with logos splashed all over it, be it bags, accessories, shoes or clothes. Clothes seem somehow so much worse, if it weren't for the 'Bebe' splashed across the tee, I would've loved the racerback! Guess, noone's perfect! :)

Again.

Urmila wore that denim dress at IIFA Bling for Biba event and soon after, at the press conference for a new reality show, 'Sangeet Ka Naya Gharana'...all within a few days!!

Tell us, without the celebrity wardrobes, or the flashbulbs going off everywhere, would you repeat the same outfit at two formal events within a span of days?

Its A Wrap

We've seen Mahima favor the belted look for her shirts before, and now, spotted Tina Tahiliani working the cinched waist, wide-belted-tie look for herself, while Malaika Arora was spotted in a wrap shirt, the other (and generally more flattering) avatar of the cinched waist...

Of course, Malaika had her trusted gold bangles as accessories in tow but the question is...whose look do you dig more?

Not So Rosy

Spotted Urmila at a recent launch in a rosette crammed outfit that only reminded us of a Ramsey Brothers' lead protagonist charging at us with a hatchet, right out of the woods, rosette clad! Yes, the outfit was that nightmarish!

One look at Renee in Marchesa Fall 08 and you'll see, there is a way to do rosettes and then again, there is a how NOT to...

Dear Soha...

One. Have satin, will wear. Is not a diktat you have to-have to follow.

Two. Pray explain the length of those denims. Please. Not short enough to be cropped, not long enough to be worn with heels, instead an awkward length to match the awkward hair.

At Rome Film Fest Festival

At A Recent Product Launch

(Ladies, for future reference, when paring trousers of any kind with heels, make sure their length is long enough so that it covers the entire length of the heel. Not so long that you constantly teeter on the edge of tripping, but long enough so that the entire span of the heel is covered. And designate separate trousers to be worn with flats and that way length can be appropriately managed.)

Name Dropper

Enough has been said about Ms. Khosla's rhinestone 'Versace', so am not going to waste my breath on it... however, got to admit, with that 'Fendi' logo cuff, she is atleast one step closer to tasteful. I said one step closer... there is nothing tasteful about sporting logos!

Birkin Baby!

The Shetty sisters were spotted out shopping, and a lil' Birkin caught our eye!



Also, while we think the Fendi skinny belt is super cute, way more so than the Fendi Large B Buckle Belt, the way Shilpa is flaunting it is just not fly! It screams, look I have a label on! Seriously, what is with lifting the tee right over the buckle? Poser!

(But it worked, we noticed!)

The 'WTH', Two-In-One Edition

'WTHeyy' is probably the politest exclamation that comes to mind when looking at this picture. Rakshanda Khan (left) in a printed dress that does absolutely nothing for her and probably the fact that the dress could use a couple of more inches in length is least of its troubles...but, where does one even begin with Maheka Mirpuri's (right) outfit?

Ignore the sleeves for a second (if your eyes even went there), what astounds me is, for a designer how could she not notice what that detailing/embellishment on her neckline and bust were doing (rather not) for her...!!??

Take Two

The version in white that Sameera wore at Neeta Lulla's show didn't work for us then, the version in cream/beige that she wore at a recent press conference doesn't work for us now!

Something about it screams 'costume-y' and might undoubtedly look great on film, but we wish it stayed put on the sets!

Seeing Pink!

Elizabeth Hurley wore a beautiful blush ombre sari at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation's Hottest Pink Party Ever 2008 and gotta say she definitely is one of the very few non-Indian women to wear a sari so gracefully!

Note how similar it is to the sari that Katrina wore to the race premiere, the same work and the same ombre effect except, I prefer Liz's blush version over Kaif's hot pink!

A Graphic Face Off!

Both Sajid Khan and Tushar Kapoor decided to sport graphic tees at the IIFA Bling for Biba event and while I don't care for either (Ghost busters on a grown man? Cool and sexy? Really??), but if one must choose, who comes out on the top?

But hey, remember Aftab's tee from ‘Spider-Man 3’ premiere? Nothing can be as bad as that!!

Try hard much?

The Reign Of "Empire" Ruined!

While we do appreciate Sonali trying to step away from bright colors, someone also needs to tell her that she needs to stop wearing these short empire waist dresses she's been sporting recently.

An empire waist, firstly, looks good if you have a noticeably narrow waist which Sonali doesn't really have. Secondly, when wearing such a trend, either wear a long gown or pair the outfit with a dark pair of denims so that the whole outfit makes you look taller and leaner. In Sonali's case, both dresses make her look short and stout which she totally could have avoided!

Let's hope her next appearance is a notch above these last few!

Flashing Some Love!

Spotted Amrita Arora at the Lakme Fashion Week sporting a 'Love' bangle which totally reminded me of those Jessica Kagan Cushman bangles!

Jessica's bangles are all hand carved and hand inked, and are so spunky, irreverent and tongue in cheek that you just gotta love them- "Do You Have Any Idea Who I Am?", "Are You a Good Witch or a Bad Witch?" and one of my favorites, "Truly fabulous people never get dressed before lunchtime" surely scores over "Love", no?

Found: Neetu's Tunic

The fabulous Neetu Singh attended the Lakme Fashion Week dressed in a tunic from Tory Burch.

I love the tunics from Tory Burch for their amazing fits, especially the plainer, non-print, marginally embellished ones! They are flattering on any body type and are so timeless and understated!
