Going Green
28
Wearing a brocade kurta and solid palazzo style pants (Raw Mango?), Raveena attended a World Environment Day event on Monday evening. Despite the makeup which felt a bit harsh in one pic, she had me at that gorgeous green color! I’ll be dreaming about this outfit tonight fa sure! 😛

Ooo..I recently got the similar outfit stiched. Gorgeous!
my eyes!
Pretty!
i’m sorry but this is the kind of thing only NRIs would like.
Personal tastes aside, how is the Uniboob squashed fit and 90’s makeup good?
Generalization much?
“NRIs” are not some group that collectively has singular taste as far as I’m aware but interesting observation
That’s very rude to say that NRIs would like this kind of flashy outfit. Please limit your comments to fashion and try not to judge others
Well then I’ll be one exception and say I hated the look- the green on green is seriously hurting my eyes. Agree with you about the fit and makeup, and don’t think the hairstyle’s any better. Kareena’s green Payal Khandwala kurta here [https://www.highheelconfidential.com/kareena-kapoor-in-payal-khandwala-suhani-pittie-anita-dongre-at-childrens-film-festival/#comments] tops all brocade kurta looks for me and this doesn’t cut it even close.
LOL! I fall in that NRI category but not because its flashy. I am a DVF girl all the way and she is anything but flashy. The point I am trying to make is its not that NRIs can’t tell flashy from not but when it comes to Indian outfits we love them to be fun, colorful and traditional. Not generalizing but speaking for me and my friends only. In this case color of the outfit is beautiful and it has simple clean lines. I bet it looked beautiful in normal lighting. Does have fit issues though and make up is bad.
There is so much generalization on this blog, going way back to “Aunty’s”, and now this – first – all bling is not in poor taste, and second, all NRIs don’t have poor taste, just as ALL Indians don’t have poor taste (although the object of this post happens to be an Indian, not an NRI, and I would wonder if based on this post it is safe to assume that Indians like these sorts of outfits). The use of NRI by NJG here is offensive; you may look down on us, but we play a vital role in the economy of India, and many of us are highly educated, extremely cultured, well traveled and well dressed. Just in case you forgot, this blog, that you obviously subscribe to, is written by two NRIs.
Hahaha .
Guilty of being an NRI but hate this look . Tacky and too much green . The make up just makes it worse
Being an NRI myself, I know what you mean.
Before the advent of online shopping and even now to a certain extent, Indian fashion would take forever to cross the sea and come to the NRI market and as a result, the only “Indian” clothes available abroad would be extremely blingy, tacky, OTT and often dated. Things have changed now of course.
In any case, I don’t care for this outfit. Loud makeup, hair and too much brocade.
Precisely. I can totally understand. Growing up in the US, the Indian ethnic stores in the Bay Area would only carry garish clothes for whatever reason. And still El Camino Real stretch of Sunnyvale/Fremont areas have many shops filled with bling bling. And I also find Punjabis(no offence meant maybe they like/personal choices) seem much attracted to those. There is no need to get so offended/defensive about such facts. Well, if you are not one of those NRIs it would just bring a chuckle and not defensive swords. 😛
This has nothing to do with defensiveness, but objection to generalization. All NRIs don’t live in the US, and many are not Punjabi. A number of us only buy Indian clothing in India, so to justify supposed NRI taste based on availability in one country is nonsensical. It is OK to comment on a dress/fashion choice. It is not ok to suggest that an entire group of people are guilty of liking/disliking something, especially when you are turning up your nose at said thing, is bigotry. I thought this blog was moderated, but it is clear from this and a number of previous posts that bigotry is either not recognized, or simply ignored by the moderators.
Completely agree Katy. Infact making conclusions based on a small area you live in doesn’t qualify for a “valid point” or deduce that NRIs have such a taste. It is stupidity to say the least. If that is indeed the case, from my observation, the NRIs that I have seen (Non US ones) are actually much sophisticated in their clothing taste but I still won’t go around saying that NRIs have classy preferences. NRIs make a huge community in itself & to say that only NRIs would like such a clothing is a huge thing; either the person saying this has travelled a lot and has observed this or has extensively studied/researched on such a topic. The funniest (and at the same time gibberish) thing is that people who have agreed with this baseless statement & disliked this look are NRIs themselves!
P.S. I actually liked this look. The green looks too stark against the makeup which is extremely white/chalky. With a balanced makeup, this look would have been a winner.
Desi doesnt mean t is always good. The color is nice. That is all there to it. The fit is so bad. Makeup ghastly. The whole look is harsh. She is such a pretty lady and her style is rather bad.
Isn’t this the same kurta worn by Kareena Kapoor a while back? A Payal Khandelwal outfit I believe
I don’t think she has a uniboob as one comment mentioned. Her boobs look completely normal.
Kareena has worn this before with purple lehnga and slayyyyeedddd!
I feel that mainstream Bollywood’s embrace of Raw Mango will dilute the brand. It won’t be long before we start seeing copycats from Manish Malhotra (he already started a few seasons ago actually) and the like, and then the uniqueness of Raw Mango will be lost forever 🙁
Now imagine this with a purple/violet palazzo style pants. I think it is too much green
Something like this – https://www.highheelconfidential.com/kareena-kapoor-in-payal-khandwala-suhani-pittie-anita-dongre-at-childrens-film-festival/
Isn’t this the same kurta that Kareena wore with the magenta palazzo a few months ago?
The fit looks so off on chest area and makeup and hair is too dated
It’s a lovely outfit . Raveena’s make is a bit too much though.
Kareena had slayed this look. Raveena is just making it look tacky
All that green is blinding me. The hair, makeup and the fit are also wrong.
Don’t think the green on green look works.
It would’ve been nicer with a different colour skirt with that beautiful green brocade top.
