I agree that she’s a diva. She has the poise, the carraige, the star quality.

But style icon? I’m kinda old-fashioned that way…I still think you need to have an individualistic, intrinsic style to be called a style icon

(as opposed to a stylist-supplied, generic style with no distinctive elements that make it your own)

To me style is about owning the clothes you where, using your outfit as a canvas to express your mood, your whims, your personality and about experimenting, exploring and having fun

Having a stylist score your big brand couture and match them up with fab accesories…well it just turns style into a who-can-get-on-the-most-best-dressed-lists-and-hire-the-best-stylist-because-of-their-star-power game. And that, to me is NOT what style is about.

If you ask me (and I know this is going to be HUGELY contreversial) even fashion outcastes like Divya Khosla who play with their looks, use it to express themselves and have fun with it understand the concept of style better than professionally dressed, impecably put together Frieda. She’s Definetely MUCH more fashionable. But a style icon ? not at all

(somehow I think that are opinions on this are too different to meet at a common point)

I’m not a fan of nude dresses but the runway version is simply divine…very feminine. But It wouldn’t have suited Frieda, I think she should have gone with another dress.

i kinda feel like a traitor for saying this (as she kind of represents us abroad), i also think she has a very boring face. aishwarya was a better representative. on a more fashionista note, i love the model’s shoes, esp. the feathery bit.

Lucky girl..she’s like all over hollywood now. She looks OK..the nude color is way better than black.

I really wonder if she’ll ever go back to bollywood =/.

The nude version is awesome though the skinny legs on the model freak me out..

The dress makes Freida stumpier.. not flattering and the black isn’t as nice as the nude ne.

Well belle , in that sense , no Diva is meant to be a diva …. it would be their stylist who should get the fame right ?? But it doesn’t work this way ……. The clothes suits the celebrity and they have to carry it with poise ….. If you don’t have poise and grace , no matter what you wear wouldn’t matter .

During her Oscar days , Freida was a fresh breath of air . She truly shocked the world with her style and deserved to be called a style icon THEN .But now , its getting repetitive . She is young and there is no harm trying something funky and girly at times …. what go ya say ?? :)

I am so in love with the runway version that I don’t really care about Frieda this time!
