Miss Universe Countdown
August 23rd, 2009 at 4:56 pm . by PayalIn just a few hours a new Miss Universe will be crowned and in the running is also Miss India Ekta Chowdhry. While we wish her the best of luck, here is a looksee at some more outfits she wore past two weeks in Nassau, Bahamas. You can catch her National Costume outfit here.
There has been a lot of chatter that she will be wearing a variation of this Gauri Nainika dress seen in a different version on Aishwarya at the Drona premiere. But, from what we know the gown shown in the evening gown competition (in Ekta’s case: the red one below) is almost always the gown the contestants wear to the final event. Guess, we’ll have to wait till the telecast to see what she wears!
P.S. Yes, that is the same Ranna Gill we’ve seen before on the designer Ranna and also in a blue version on Sonali.

That red gown looks to be a red version of the Gauri and Nainika.
of the same Gauri and Nainika (as seen of Ash), I mean.
Ekta Chowdhery is out of the top 15! She’s obviously no Aishwariya. Oh well.. I guess we’ll see her in movies pretty soon ;)
Does anyone think this girl looks like Sonam’s Kapoor’s long lost sister??? Maybe it’s just me lol !
Yeah, I think so too..esp her smile reminds me of Sonam
Oh totally… i was just abt to leave a comment on similar lines….especially her smile in the pink gown looks ditto to Sonam
Me too!! In the, last dress where she’s spotting a kurti and dupatta, she looks like Sonam ditto!

She was eliminated after the swim wear/physical fitness round :(
Not even the top 10????
all i can say is that the miss indias seem to be getting worse and worse!
yea true…
i remember my days at school where there was always excitement because there were such incredible women from india year after year and so many winners too :)))
i mean, i didnt even know who was miss india this year untill i saw this HHC post :)
nostalgia aside, these outfits are hideous. even those blinged out hemant trivedi outfits of the 90s were better than these
Amen to that!! like something out of a B-grade bollywood or even tollywood flick…yuck!
miss venezuela has been crowned miss universe…
How gorgeous is that blose with the black saree. Seems to have Kundan work on it. Where can I get those kinds?
I quite like the red green churidaar outfit. She has short hair……..nice!
@monika – lots of designer sari blouses in india now. ready to wear as well as made to order.
Thanks.
eesh…they couldn’t find anyone better looking than THAT to represent the county?! tsk tsk
Seriously. And she does resemble Sonam Kapoor but unfortunately a bad version.:P The clothes are hideous too except the black saree.
too bad she didnt even make to top 15
the bottom of her gauri nanika purple dress looks like a painting in the above pic
No wonder she was eliminated in the 1st round only decent outfit is the churidaar one. She looks like a fish in the first one.
What kids of crappy outfits are these?? Totally not fit for an international pagent
What kind * of crappy outfits .. :-))
I think she has a very pretty face, and she does resemble Sonam Kapoor.
agreed.. she looks like sonam
ohh no way ..sonam is much more attractive and pretty
Weird, I didn’t see the resemblance to Sonam before but i def do now! It’s in the smile for sure. I don’t think she’s pretty though.. I mean.. not in comparison to what I’ve seen before from Miss Universe contestants. Lara Dutta.. Sushmita Sen.. they were just WOW. Even Celina looked pretty albeit annoying with the bindi on in every shoot. It was like she was trying to be kamasutronic or something. Anyway..yes this girl isn’t all that compared to previous contestants.. but I’ve noticed they tend to start looking better once they appear in movies (Priyanka Chopra anyone?)
I know right! In the past, I remember Ms. India at least making it to the top 10 or top 5. They have just been getting worse and worse every year. This girl isnt even pretty at all. and those ourfits didnt help either.
i guess its the persona
the women of yesteryears had absolute sheer presence that made you notice them, remember them! each woman was a cut above the rest. and lara dutta!! man oh man, that confidence, even now when i see her miss universe videos on youtube, i get awestruck every single time
the miss indias of today all look alike, run of the mill wannabes waiting to jump onto the bollywood bandwagon
anyone remembers the fabulous Ms. Manpreet Brar?
Oh yeah! Manpreet Brar was good too!
these days, I think after the previous success in beauty pageants, it seems like the miss indias have kind of begun to take it for granted that they’ll make at least to the top 10. Also, beauty in India has become so processed with the products and procedures, etc. Everyone ends up looking the same or similar. There is nothing distinguished about any individual. They just lack personality, which is one of the most important things for an international beauty queen to have.
She didn’t stand a chance.
She…doesn’t look like Sonam :/
she do looks like sonam kapoor…but to tell you the truth she’s far more better and prettier than sonam…….she’s looking awesome in green-red combi suit
er whats the deal with these SCARY gowns/dresses
is that the BEST India s got.tut tut!!!
crappy dresses :[
The Pink dress Ekta wore when she posed with Donald Trump, was also worn by Kajal Agarwal for a Telugu movie premier.
the last red/green suit is just stunning!
