Fresh Off The Runway
She walked the runway for Manish Malhotra, so it only seems obvious that Aishwarya would be the first to sport a couture piece from the designer’s recent collection. And, it wasn’t just one Manish Malhotra for her at Zee TV’s Action Replay Diwali show. She was spotted wearing a more toned down (and we mean relatively) blue anarkali, also by the designer.
The lehenga wasn’t so bad until you reach the hemline. The tiered effect with the purple and the velvet look anything but rich. Which look do you prefer?

Aishwarya please go back to your dark hair!
haha..Thats the first thing that strikes you as odd. I agree.She could go for a darker brown. She does not have to colour it black.
The lehenga colour is very nice however that velvet material and the horrible skirt is a no no. The anarkali is good for a TV show and looks great on her. Even after all the negatives she still manages to look so beautiful.
I agree, the hair color is all wrong, do not like the OTT anarkali look. These are the outfits that give MM the reputation of being tacky and too bollywood.
It’s a shame that her hair color is such a distraction.
I agree and this was the first thought when I saw the pictures………This women seriously needs to change the hair colour…….and instead of getting dark its getting lighter day by day
Red head version of ash 🙂
The hair color is so horrible and looks very unnatural. Aish should go for some warm/golden highlights. The lehenga ofcourse is pretty dowdy. The cobalt blue anarkali is much better in comparison.
That lehnga- Manish at his tackiest best!!!!!
Well she’s in her comfort zone, no?
I swear Manish Malhotra seems to get tackier every year.
Her hair color doesnt look as horrible as people are making it out to be ..she looks absolutely gorgeous regardless of that awful lehnga.
I have to disagree – her hair does look really horrible. It’s a distraction from the rest of her look.
Yeah, the hair isn’t as bad. And perhaps the reason why she chose such a tacky lehnga…was because retro was all about the shimmer and loudness…and that’s what her movie is about…but that probably isn’t the reason lol
I want to get my scissors and cut the lower part of that lehnga. I also want to buy darkbrown L’oreal hair dye and accidentally throw it in her hair.
The toned down blue one is a lot lot nicer. I love the deep emerald colour of the couture piece but the bottom of the lehngha really ruins the entire outfit!
Ratna’s comment cracked me up. Innocent attempt with with bitchy thoughts (no pun intended). Indian girl;s seem to be mocking blond or almost blond hair. even if they are fair? what’s the reaon?
Too many colors clashing – the hair color with the purples, greens and gold is anything but easy on the eye. it reminds me of shahnaz hussain minus the gawdy make-up. Please Aishwarya, we much prefer your natural toned down look like your pa-in-law’s bday – sigh.
the lehenga without the hemline is better. the hemline might have suited a gown. the recent lehenga’s of MM are like gown inspired lehenga’s & not liking that combo.
Also not liking that hair color on her, does not suit her & dulls her out.
I am just glad that lehengas are now being designed with proper cholies/blouses instead of the usual bra tops.
omg..how could she!!! she is supposed to have impeccable dressing sense???!!!!
not really! it just that she makes most looks work but sadly these monstrosities are beyond redemption!
she IS????!!
really?? That’s like news to me!
The purple part looks like it was made with birbabotis. The red velvety dirt mite that come out in the rains in India. lol
how can she wear such awful cloths??? n to top it all that hair color, Gosh she really needs help! Manish Malhotra n his love affair with velvets ufff
Oh aishwarya ….. you managed to stay off the MM wagon for years, why did you jump on it now … and that too with so much enthusiasm … Please slam shut the door the next time he comes calling.
uuuuuuuuugly…top to bottom(both pictures)-atrocious hair colour…tsk tsk…
Give her a tambourine and she can be Esmerelda from the The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
the pics r not from the show , but while she was goin for shooting.. so in the day time, outside, under sun.. such firework clothing, will hav such look only.. its in the studio n lights.. this cloths will hav better view.. It`s obvious..( the runway pic)
so v shud wait for the show or show pics.. but yes, the hair color needs to go
Is that Ash or her wax replica at Madam tassauds 😛
OMG I feel horrified. I have never seen ash look so terrible, hair clothes everything, why would she wear this and not look in the mirror and see its a awful look!
Usually even if her clothes are awful (has been the case often) she looks lovely, but not here, the Lengha look is borderline “what hey” for me, manish should not be allowed to make such horrid outfits.
That ( Lehanga) is one horrible Manish Malhotra outfits…how does one agree to wear such a thing
What is that chandelier hanging from her waist??? When will our celebs realize that less is more? GAWDY is what comes to mind seeing both the pics! The hair color is another offender…ughh…Bollywood needs to wake up to talent and look to the recent Fashion Weeks…MM please quit! sigh 🙁
Its the festive Diwali season..So lets give her a chance to play with colors, velvet and bling 🙂
The only saving grace in both these looks are ash’s joothis in look # 2 , they look amazing me wants
Yikes…one can’t look past that hair…makes her look much older than her 37 years…and someone shud tell this woman that she looks good even with her hair tied…she is beginning to look a mannequin, same pose, same hair style, but different clothes.
And what is the fixation with velvet and those gaudy colors??
its official…..this is the halloween month!
OMG I LOVE IT I LOVE IT.,….it;s so OLD schoool…i would so wear it….i want it …i think the colours are just amazing perfect for winter.
honestly, its so wtheyy!
did aishwariya run away from a circus?
the worlds most beautiful woman in the world’s tackiest outfits.
How do people stay fresh faced in such clothes. One would be all sweaty with the velvet material and full sleeves and hair left loose!
Pathetic… And she needs to chnage her hair color ..like now!!!
That hair color is just so WRONG foer her
whats with such a bad hair color…and the lehenga is pretty ewwww!!wonder how they choose clothes to wear to an event..
Choili is nice, skirt is a big no, no, too many layers of frills and colours. The whole outfit looks great on the runway though, maybe because the model is tall and skinny or is it the lighting. I do not like the anarlkali; the patchwork border is awful. Hair colour needs to change, I agree. Disappointing after the Big B b’day event, where she looked lovely.
It’s beautiful…except the contrasting hemline seems to shorten even a tall lady like her.
i just saw the performance on TV,
must say the clothes looked good (hard to believe, isnt it?)
idk what u guyz r talking about. I LOVE LOVE LOVE both these outfits. the design is different, and the colors r just BEAUTIFUL
