Dressed Down

March 1st, 2010 at 1:47 am . by Payal

We don’t expect our stars to always be dressed to the nines but is it too much to ask that their dressed down avatar, at least, be pleasing to the eye! The boots and the black pants are fine but oh-my, how dowdy is that off center silk shirt! Again, Junior B steals the limelight.

P.S. Someone give us one good reason as to why Ms. Rai who normally dresses up for high-profile events is dressed down.

    I love her top .. but sure i will not wear it for big party !! i prefer if she wear dress ,, it will look better than this outfit ,,

    • OMGaaash says:

      This may be a “big party” to you but it’s like a very small Thanksgiving party for the Bachchans, my dahling!

      • Chocolate Martini says:

        first of all, the condescension in your tone is seriously amusing.

        Second of all, by your own logic, if our idea of a’ big party’, is the Bachchans idea of a ‘small party’, then our idea of an elaborate, dressy outfit that one of us would wear to such a ‘big party’ should be the Bachchans idea of a casual outfit that they would to such a ‘small party’.

        This is of course assume that your thinking is logical, which (in my opinion) it is not, because there is *always* such a thing as occasion appropriateness, and it applies to everybody, celeb or non-celeb

    • charan says:

      Event appropriate or not, what she is wearing is UGLY!

  2. Among says:

    Come on P&P! Are you being cautious here? They being Bachchans and could pretty well sue you girls? Lol Kidding. Both of them look dowdy to me.I despise any sort of jewelery on men..arrrh and those boots are like ..sigh, no words. The entire outfit is just plain ugly–Zero sense of style.

  3. frutu says:

    i agree dis is 2 much of a dressed down n i hate those shoes…other than that she is glowing

  4. diptiN says:

    it is plain and simple, she does not have s sense of style and does not want to spend money on a stylist or GOOD clothing. As far as this look is concerend, her boots are too short to be worn with tucked in pants. the booths either need to hit the knee or be ankle booths. what is the weather like in mumbai? like 90 degree F

    she has tucked her jeans into booths that are too tight, as a result the pants have gathered around her knee. the top, i do like the color, but the style is not event appropirate. She could have worn her jeans with a white shirt or nice kurta.

    • Megha says:

      But aren’t her boots knee length here?

      • diptiN says:

        may be they are supposed to be knee lenght,but because the pants are too thick, the booths come way below her knee, all you see at the knee are the pant crunched into many folds. i saw a close up of the photo on another site.

  5. Laveena says:

    The boots make her look stocky, the shirt emphasizes her hips, not flattering at all. Her husband looks better, right.

  6. DressyDresser says:

    WOWWW…her face is GLOWING. :) What a beauty. Whenever I look at her, I can not go past the face. I couldn’t care less about what she wears(unless it’s completely pathetic). She’s above all that.

    • Saya says:

      I gotta agree. Can’t see past her gorgeous face.

      • mary says:

        ditto. Ash is taken so much for granted its not even funny. But then everyone has naysayers in their day. Just wait another decade or so.

        • Kish says:

          how is she taken for granted? people fawn over her- did you see the paparazzis outside the bachan’s house for their wedding?
          or the fact that she is the face of l’oreal, longines and other brands?
          or that she constantly keeps winning awards?
          or that she was on oprah?
          do i really need to go on?
          she is gorgeous, i don’t deny it. but just because you’ve a pretty face does not make you perfect or make your sub par dressing above average.

          • akaa says:

            totally agree with you @Kish.
            I just do not understand why don’t people accept that Ash does not have a great sense of style!! YEs, she is really pretty but commenting on her very obvious bad fashion sense does not mean people are jealous of her!!

          • akaa says:

            And, she wears boots with jeans / pants as if its her uniform!!

  7. DressyDresser says:

    And Abhishek should shave. He’s looking untidy.

  8. pdaervo says:

    But neck up, Ash looks (even) better than she has been in a while

  9. bluebird says:

    aish is not dressed occassion appropriate, although i love her boots and pants.
    abhishek however needs to crawl back under the covers — ever heard of a razor buddy? its what civilized people use to groom themselves!!

  10. RM says:

    I like the top… and she is looking good but way too dressed down for the event…

  11. ss says:

    I think those boots & black pants are hideous …both of them look dowdy to me

  12. Su says:

    give her a break. she looks fine. not spectacular, but fine.

  13. Bella says:

    Casual and relaxed looking – jeans and kurta etc worn by others at the event as well. So obviously not meant to be too dressy an event. AbhiAsh are glowing and in love.

  14. preethi says:

    aish’s face looks good, but hell, the outfit is so boring! i am tired of the pants/boots thing. i dont think it suits her.

  15. AnI says:

    Wat d u all expect 4m ‘em ? dat they shud alwz dress to nines ? I mean, c’mon guys..dey r human too & every1 has a bad day..but look..she’s glowing.abhi is beside her & dey make a nice pair..wat more d u expect ? I kinda love ‘em..

  16. AnI says:

    c’mon guys..dey r human too & every1 has a bad day..but look..she’s glowing.abhi is beside her & dey make a nice pair..wat more d u expect ? I kinda love ‘em..

  17. Saya says:

    The outfit is nothing spectacular but Aish looks pretty. Such a gorgeous woman. ABJr definitely needs to invest on some razors. :P Hate the AE type necklace on him. Eww.

  18. Bella says:

    Srk, AbhiAsh and gang hung out at his house straight after this event so they probably decided on the casual look. If they r comfortable why whinge?

  19. Pooja says:

    hahah.. . I noticed, when she doesnt dress well, “she’s glowing though” is what comes from her fans. lol just an observation. A very BLAND look. Now PnP approve this comment, nothing wrong about it I hope.

    She looks BORING! The boots dont suit her personality and she’s messed up between formal and casual. Bad! Goes to prove, style is intrinsic.

  20. Su says:

    Her face is looking so beautiful that I don’t care for anything else! She is glowing :)

  21. blinkandmiss says:

    I like the shirt, though it may not be event appropriate. Don’t care for the boots.

  22. pv says:

    The boots are ugly.

  23. Prem Rogue says:

    Jeans tucked into knee-high boots in hot and muggy Mumbai? WTF? Lack of dress sense is one thing but this is just lack of common sense.

  24. rani says:

    she is and will always look more gorgeus than her husband even in a dustbin bag
    just wondering- why havent you got any pics of hrithik and susanne at this event or at Filmfare night. they outclassed everyone at both events.

  25. Tongue in Chic says:

    I think she looks gorgeous. And I really like the top, too. It’s sleek and chic.

    They don’t have to try to dress to the nines every single time, for chrissake. That’s just Natasha Poonawala. And I, for one, find that boring and contrived.

  26. Pri says:

    I don’t get why this is a borderline wttheyy for so many of you..she looks nice and I’m not talking about her ‘glowing face’. And this was just the Big pictures success bash..it’s not really a dressy event. I think she looks pretty good!

  27. bongbabe says:

    the boots are too short to have jeans tucked into them. plus isnt it hot and humid in bombay right now?

  28. cooks says:

    terrible

  29. Hema says:

    Face and hair look gorgeous, but the clothes don’t flatter her figure – makes her looks a little preggy and chunky at the hips. They look happy together.

  30. dn says:

    The blue suits her, and she seems to be glowing most of the time she is standing next to her hubby, which is nice. I think it’s the comfort factor, which is missing from her face every time she is alone, and ends up looking icy.
    This is an outfit (without those boots) I would wear for a casual outing, and maybe for a party but with accessories. This looks plain.

  31. Mim says:

    I think its the boots that make her a somewhat carrot shaped. If she had worn pumps and a bit more jewelry, this look would have been fine.

  32. pooja says:

    she is soo pretty.. u can put a paper bag on her and shes still
    pretty.. ash is not known for her clothing.. or her sense of style..all the money is on the face…she should be called “the face”

  33. Megha says:

    I don’t understand how Junior B steals the limelight here?
    He’s wearing blue jeans with a white shirt and coat
    she’s wearing dark jeans with a silk blouse
    I’d say they’re both at the same level of formality. I’d have thought it odd to see her in a cocktail dress with him in jeans

    either way, I think she looks good (and i hardly even care for Ash)…the blouse is pretty
    though boots in mumbai must be uncomfy – i doubt there are too many days in mumbai when boots would be weather appropriate…so might as well wear them in the late winter! :)

  34. Dida says:

    Just one question…
    how do ppl wear boots in Mumbai…?

  35. suchi says:

    she does look gorgeous

  36. FashionFaff says:

    Of curse she is allowed to look dowdy because sure – she’s human and should be allowed her off days. But she does look dowdy.
    That’s all that we’re saying.

    PS: The face isn’t glowing. Even that looks dowdy to me. If that’s possible.

  37. Violet says:

    She looks simple and nice (ofcourse, as usual, always very beautiful). Nothing here grabs my attention in a negative (or constructive) way. No complaints.

  38. Anu says:

    the top is fine…the boots just look out of place…maybe if they weren’t knee high…and just ankle boots, it would get with the entire outfit

  39. Ruchi Dholakia says:

    What is with the Miss Worlds and disgusting sense of style. PC cant look behind her micromini dresses, lets not even talk about Yukta Mookhey…and now Aishwarya! I mean either the Miss World judges need to make their decisions better, or Aishwarya can stop being cheap and not use her brains and hire a stylist. No, I mean i’ve seen pretty girls dress badly, and you know, its a shame!

  40. javajive says:

    I now live in NYC but have lived all my life in amchi Mumbai. Could never stand to wear anything but peep toe and strappy sandals such was the humid, sultry weather. Can’t really understand the current obsession for boots and panty hose in that hot, humid,sticky climate .. they must be frigging out of their minds these babes..

  41. shuz4ever says:

    pointy toe boots…seriously? there’s just no hope for Ash in the fashion dept…either u’r born with it or u hire a stylist…and the pretty-face pass needs to STOP.

  42. lazyU says:

    Honestly, I just love the shirt’s colour so I’m going to ignore the awkward design ..

  43. ila says:

    awefull……29 degrees temp and she is wearing boots…..that too pointy toe….yuck!!! ash needs a stylist…..ASAP

  44. Anubha says:

    These boots were made for GAWKING !!! For anyone’s sake hire a stylist PLS and spare us the horror.

  45. HK says:

    They are both dressed casually because it was a casual dinner, pictures of the other guests confirm the dress code.

    Also, the length of the shirt is cutting her off at her hips therefore making her look wide. Her jeans and boots are fine, ankle/knee length boots are not going to make a difference to her bottom half. In fact ankle boots would emphasize stockiness. People are complaining that pointy boots are such a big NO, was she to wear square toe boots then? Most boots ARE pointy. And now please don’t haggle over the size of the point, her boots appear to have a long toe box.

  46. Desi Ette says:

    Iam so tired of that same boring hairstyle on Aish

  47. uumema says:

    i never expect aishwarya to dressup nicely!!! but i dont expect her to go crazy…is it her attempt to look 21 year old girl…coz now she looks clearly older than abhishek!!(even though she looks lovely at this age)

  48. Shays says:

    Aish! lay off the straightening iron sweetie- everytime I see you the hair is totally devoid of life!
