The Dubai Weather Get To Them?

That is the only reason I can think of as to why all these pretty ladies wore such weird outfits to the premiere of Mira Nair's "AIDS Jaago" at the 4th Dubai International Film Festival.

Where do I begin with Shabana Azmi! We have the ugly hairstyle. We have the bad make-up. We have this nice sari but then I am not sure where that big patch of plain black cloth is coming from! Are Indian designers also having to cut costs?

Then you have Ayesha Dharker with her blingy earrings! Did she borrow them from the "Bombay Dreams" costume department? And maybe it's just me, but I dont consider it fashionable when the sari hangs below the one "you know what"! I am all about the traditional drape! Yeehah!

Next, you have Pooja Batra who wore a really busy anarkali outfit to the Taj Mahal premiere, and now she chose a sari with another busy print! The zebra print! She should thank the Lord that she is still skinny and that takes away half the "ugg" from what this outfit would have been!

Finally, we had Raima. I don't understand. You wear Sabyasachi for a photocall, why can't you wear a gorgeous Sabyasachi for the evening affair. We all know he has so many to offer!

Raima In Sabyasachi @ DIFF

I love love love Sabyasachi and his weird color combinations on his designs sometimes look out of this world, but the one that Raima wore to the photocall of the short film "Aids Jaago" directed by Mira Nair just doesn't quite gel together!



At this photocall, I think Mira Nair steals the limelight with her simple white salwar suit!

Raima In Manish Malhotra: A Flashback?

Doesn't it seem like Raima's outfit worn at Manish Malhotra's Grand Finale at the Lakme Fashion Week seems to have come from mixing the outfits of Preity and Kajol. Incidentally, they too had walked the ramp for him at LFW Winter 2006.
