Not Quite
Want to see what warranted a ‘Not Quite’ for the fabulous Ms. De? Look inside.
Shobha De At Flamboyante Dinner
Its the peek-a-boo tights and those platform flip-flops that ruined it for us!
P.S. That is an Hermès Jige Croc Clutch on Ms. De!

HAHA .. she probably forgot that she’s wearing flip flops.. So dressed up and then you wear flip flops with it.. haha
So near yet so far……….
No she didn’t!
She just gave up, huh?
no no no…this frpm such a classy lady??!!?? minus the leggings and the hideous wedge chappals…this look could have been smashing with pumps or sandals!! this looks needs the right heels. very very very disappointing from the lady who critiques the whole world!!!
@ a dinner! no way. Unless she has some medical reason to no wear better footwear.
omg… i`m thinking of possible reason why the smart lady like her would wear such a footwear with this dress… maybe her sandals broke and she ordered someone to get a pair ..and this is what they got… someone ask her why she did this and let us know!!
Oh no I like those kind of flip-flops!! I hope I’m not a fashion outcast :/
But I would wear them when I’m being very very casual. Like lounging at home casual. Even I can see how they’re totally not appropriate for dressy occasions.
she must be wearing leggings for she didnt want to join the leauge of Sonali kulkarni and Tanisha …
still not a good enough excuse from Ms De.
why is there an Hermes tag? Is it her clutch? If so, she has to be lauded for purchasing a non-Birkin Hermes and not giving in to peer pressure!
I guess the tights are some kind of medical brace, therefore the comfortable flip-flops. Otherwise, so classy.
I can’t believe she wore those flip flops, I’d die! AND she’s wearing tights? Don’t even get me started on the bottom of the dress, horrible!
maybe the tights are a body shaper. the dress is nice but with those fluted pleats et al it looks like something intended for the 30 something career girl.
All in all – ouch.
i love that clutch. it has to be the only amazing part of this entire look of hers.
and those flip flops? can i say UGLY?
she lookes AMAZING at first
then I was IT(!)
I hate hate hate hate HATE flip flops in every occasion (aside from, maybe, going to yoga with)
and I don’t particularly like this lady either :/
I believe it was Sonam that called her a porn writer
I SAW it not I WAS it 😉
When I first saw this post, I thought, “Oh, a cute sheath dress, what could be wrong with that?” … and then I saw the rest of the pictures.
Flip-flops are appropriate for the beach and for lounging around, not for a formal dinner, period.If comfort was her concern, there are now so many shoes that are comfortable and chic. Ms. De should know better.
I’m not a big fan of the pleats or the awkward length of the dress, but I’m baffled by the leggings. Like Anu, I have a feeling that it is actually shapewear, and happens to be a tad long.
The saving grace: that gorgeous Hermes clutch! We all know that a Birkin is THE status symbol for some socialites, but quite frankly, I think it’s an overrated bag. It’s impractical for formal occasions, and was originally meant to be paired with business outfits, yet some women lug them around everywhere. Shoba’s clutch is elegant, understated, and looks luxurious without screaming “MONEY!”.
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! I’m hoping Deewani is right.
Another woman I don’t like because of this “air” she has…. and she should stick to her saris.
Aside from her lack of a dress sense, she is so beautiful.
This, from a woman who thinks Sonam Kapoor is fat and unstylish! Did she forget to look at herself in a full length mirror before leaving home?
its happened to me. i went out and realised halfway that i forgot to remove my bathroom chappals!!
SHOBHAA PLEASE LETS NOT HAVE ANOTHER DE JA VIEW OF THOSE LINKING ROAD CHAPPALS!MORE FLOP THAN FLIP!!
The tights could be spanx which she forgot to push far up enough? But nothing forgives the flip flops!
Why, exactly why would anyone as usually style conscious as Ms.De wear leggings with a dress and then finish off the ruin by wearing platform hideous flip flops??? Love the clutch though!!
so shoba’s gone the way of her writing and has finally lost the plot. it had to happen some day.
I think she is great shape!
I have always thought that Shobha De looks her stylist best only in Indian wear (read: sarees). She has never looked va-va-voom in western clothes.
I just realized I can’t type.
Ick..ew..it’s funny cuz criticizes everyone else for everything 😛
Flip flops are soo totally wrong for formal events…there’s absolutely no excuse to wear those fugly sandals with such a nice dress and clutch!
