At The Races
February 6th, 2012 at 8:38 pm . by PayalThe Roland Mouret dress itself was a great pick, but you cannot deny that this look was elevated solely because of the fascinator (Philip Treacy?) that Natasha picked to complete her At The Races look. So very striking. We love!
She completed her look with a mini Chanel bag.
P.S. If the dress looks familiar, it’s because we’ve seen it on Mallika here.

Sorry, my first thought about the fascinator was – “Why is she wearing a satellite dish on her head?” :)
Same here.
Dish Karo Wish Karo!
she looks cool..
but it still looks like a dish antenna!
Facinators like this are just plain stupid in today’s times.
lol !! did she actually walk around that …lol
Hmmm..think she’s having a princess Beatrice toilet hat moment except this one is only slightly better – looks like a raven feather on a giant dinner plate.
imagine the plight of people sitting behind her..!
hahaha……. totally agree!
lol …..
I am quite sure Mr Treacy is avant garde but that “hat” looks like a large satellite dish that had an encounter with a large black bird on its way before landing on Mr Poonawala’s head (trying to channel the fug girls here!).
Anyway, safe and happy landings!
The dress is nice but that hat is laughable and ridiculous.
Roland Mourat is my favorite designer, love the fit of his clothes. She does justice to the dress, nice fit, the shoes and bag are also nice. The hat is interesting, although a bit bizarre, especially with those huge eyeglasses.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is too funny! reminded me straight away of the DISH TV theme song –
Kuch aise bhi log hote hain
Remote se control hote hain
Jab choke-chhakke lagte hain
Yeh tata-thaiyya karte hain
Dish Sawaar hai… Dish Sawaar hai
Dish Sawaar hai… Dish Sawaar hai
HAHAHAHAHA. This was hilarious!
Lol. Quite literally Dish Sawaar hai, nahin? :P
Royal Ascot, maybe. MAYBE. Indian Derby, NO.
Exactly what came to my mind when I saw this! :D
well said! P&P bongbabe deserves a special prize for this ! I think she wins the current give away ! hehehehe
love that dress! no, not that hat..
I quiet like the look! (Hat included) We are just too biased with fashion, when at the royal wedding, everyone had a hat as brilliant as this on and we seemed to be gushing the look! It takes a lot to carry this off n buoy so well!
I don’t know if anyone follows project runway, but in one of the season there were dresses that were meant to be designed solely by Philip Treacy hats as the accessory!!
Apart from her, I think the only one who’d be able to carry this as well would be Sonam! Wish to see her in something so bold soon enough! :))
Anyway, agree with P&P that the look was completely elevated with the addition of the hat, else it would’ve just been another blah! :D
Am I the only one who doesn’t like the fit of the dress?? I think the dress is a bit too tight around the tummy area atleast on her!
Haha, I can see this on her and on no one else! I like the concept but it is waaaaaay toooooo large, had it been smaller, I think it would have worked better. That being said, large size et al, Natasha manages to make this work…for her. I like the dress and she does look good in it but somehow here dresses always look super super tight….maybe buying a size up would look better overall!
She is very fashionable and elegant. But I pity the people standing/sitting behind her.
have a different view… Loved it..she takes it to another level
she salvages the look! but not a fan of the hat too overwhelming.
Um. I’m all for open mindedness. But attempting to be impressive by hoisting a television satellite dish on your head, in the name of fashion, seems like a desperate call for attention. I hardly find it tasteful. As for the above comment on the British wearing hats, I hope we’re not trying to emmulate them because that is just sad. Btw, P&P. This look would’ve been elevated just as much if she had a birds nest or a UFO perched on her head.
thats not a hat .its a facinator,they are meant to be over the top,and are esp worn in races.i love natashas facinators,
i love the dress!!!!!!!!!! the hat is ok
I am loving loving loving the ensemble….and even more love for the color pop via the lips…
I think she pulls it off…and fashion is about fun…and she seems to be so much fun!!
srsly…dish antenna or not!
Omg. What is THAT? This might’ve worked on Lady Gaga, but on noone else. The satellite hat destroys the whole look.
who is she and how is that she always is turned out so well and wear such expensive stuff?
I don’t like this look at all. The dress is so so tight. Wonder how she would sit or breathe in that dress. And the hat..ridiculous..
Had the hat been smaller, she would not have crossed the line from fascinating to ridiculous. The similarly way too oversized sunglasses can tell you even she is unable to wear this with a straight face.
In a shocking turnaround from her usual mess, she hits it out of the park.
I think her whole family loves crazy hats. If you search for poonawala hat in google images, you’ll know what I mean.
are you guys INSANE?! she looks like a moron! shocked at the lengths people go just because they think it’s “in” or “trendy.”
Hey the hat looks awesome on her….. Loooove!!!
