In Archana Kochhar


At SIIMA, Laxmi sported two Archana Kochhar gowns on the red carpet, one featuring a cape and the other ruffles. Now, I wouldn’t have thought I’d like an orange lip with an orange gown but I did and have to say she looked pretty good in the orange number.

As for the white look, the addition of the maang tikka made it a bit gimmicky. If she’d just skipped it, she’d have had another winner on her hands.

Which of the two do you prefer her in?

In Raakesh Agarvwal


Nikki opted for Raakesh Agarvwal on both nights of SIIMA. Between the two gowns, much preferred her in the pink one. While she got the styling right with the gold gown, she just wasn’t able to sell the look to me. The gown, with the dramatic feathers, wasn’t going to be an easy one to pull off on the red carpet anyways. It’s one of those that works better in print than in real life.

In Falguni & Shane Peacock


Michelle, who helped pick some of the winners, attended the Retail Jewellery India Awards wearing a blue Falguni & Shane Peacock gown. Hair in an updo, she finished out her look with a monogrammed sparkly Leiber clutch and diamond jewellery.

Given the mesh neckline, I don’t think the necklace was the right pick but since it wasn’t too obtrusive, it wasn’t a deal breaker. I do wish the gown was lined completely.

In Raw Mango


Wearing a Raw Mango sari, Tisca attended a recent event in Mumbai. With flowers in her hair, the actor finished out the look with polki earrings, a big bindi and Jimmy Choo clutch. Wouldn’t change a thing; she looked lovely!

In Ports 1961


Day two of SIIMA saw Amy in a shimmery Ports 1961 black number. There is good décolleté and then there is the way too much and this look falls in the latter category. Even with the simple styling, this look failed to impress.

Am also surprised by the material. It didn’t seem to hold up creases well bunching up awkwardly.
