High Heel Confidential

We almost dismissed this Ditto! thinking that Sonam’s version was in pink thanks to the instagram effect of the photo.

Upon closer inspection though and looking at a newer pic ( of Sonam) revealed that her version was red too. Now, we know most celebs are lent clothes while at Cannes so we’re quite surprised the design house chose to give Dita this dress. We’re more likely to believe that both just happen to love the dress and brought it to Cannes with them.

Having said that though, considering both styled the dress rather similarly from neck to toe, got a favorite? Does anyone win by a hair, pun very intended!

Our minor gripe with the choice of shoes aside, love the Sabyasachi on Sabina.

Speaking of Sabyasachi, see Cosmo’s latest cover? You like? We do. But, will also admit we are a lil’ surprised by the choice of that particular Sabya for Dita. It seems more Katy Perry than Dita, yes?

Cointreau ambassador, Dita von Teese is in India and is being dressed by designers Shivan & Narresh. So far, she’s sported three looks, all in black. Got a favorite? It’s a toss-up between the belted sari in the middle and the one on the right for us.

This was a tough pick after looking at the Vogue January 2009 issue. But, since that cover belongs to 2009, we will have to leave it out of the running.

Gosh, this was a tough pick because there were so many that left a lasting impression. Ameesha on Verve(even with that photoshopped nose!) and Lakshmi on Elle, both provided serious competition but in the end, the favorites were Sonam on Elle and Dita on L’Officiel.

Sonam in that lime green Rohit Bal was so edgy and Dita simply looked ethereal in that Suneet Verma lehenga skirt.

What were your favorites?

The latest cover of L’Officiel India has Dita Von Teese on the cover wearing a Louis Vuitton scarf and a Suneet Verma lehenga skirt.The spread was shot by photographer Fabio Chizzola in New York City and has Dita wearing even a sari and carrying several Louis Vuitton clutches.

Here is what Dita and Ami have to say about this collaboration:

“I was thrilled to be photographed for the cover of L’Official India! I have been fascinated by the beauty of feminine attire of India, so to wear a combination of mainstream modern fashion and elegant classic traditional dress for L’Official India was a wonderful experience for me.”
- Dita Von Teese

“The elite L’Officiel readers have simply loved the cover, Dita is both a fashion icon and a stunning model, and to see her in carrying of traditional Indian couture was a big treat for all her fans world wide.”
- Ami Patel, Fashion Director, L’Officiel India
