Changing It Up
I am a sucker for traditional designs presented with non-traditional prints which is why I am loving this polka-dot long-kurta on Ms. Balan. Quite an upgrade over the long maxi and a welcome change from anarkalis she gave us. Except, why do I have a feeling we’ll be seeing way more of these on Ms. Balan from now on? 🙂
Coming back to this appearance, you like?

It’s not bad but for some reason it’s not a 10 on 10 either. I think it worked for me until I scrolled down and saw the foot wear and grey contrast to the kurta. Me no like that at all.
Yes, why the grey churidar? A black one would have been so much better.
Disagree 🙂 I loe the grey, it gives a bit of a sophisticated edge (as opposed to just black and red, which would have been sort of emo-teenager-ish)
tis the problem with black and red, but the grey evens it out
Pdaervo- I am in agreementing!!
I also love her hair/makeup for once!
Grey Lookss AWSOMEE!!!…only bcoz of the grey bottom this dress is standing out darling!!…if it was paired with black then there wud be Just nothing extraordinary abt it…
I LOVE THIS LOOK….SO MY TYPE 🙂
So true! I like it as well.
She’s very pretty and if not anything else, i’m glad she’s being true to herself. That’s commendable considering the clones that are her colleagues.
That’s a good point. After a while all the others start to look the same.. wearing the same designer dresses week after week…!
Oh ! I love it on her. Had it been somebody else I would have said OK ! but so happy for Vidya to give up her “Tents” (Anarkalis)
I think this style suits her more than the Anarkalis…
Lovely! And her face – so gorgeous!
i think she is wearing this also in the movie.. just saw it on TV..in the ‘mudi mudi’ song of paa…
its so tacky..but her face looks lovely…
i no like. she is a movie star, for god’s sake, not some collegegoer on a budget…and some of them manage way better too. she is always underdressed, or dressed far too casually/ frumpily for a public figure. unless thats a statement she’s TRYING to make, she needs to be aware of how disappointing it is time after time after time.
sigh.
Her shoes!!! Why can’t she get it right????The kurta is OK.
nice kurta.. though the grey looks a little off.. cud have chosen better footwear..
the kurta is quite nice
For once she looks good and got it quite right except for her chudidar!! I’m digin into her kurta…and she got the accessories right for once…minimal….minimal we like……
Loving everything here minus the grey churidar. that is totally out of sync with the rest of what she’s wearing. a white or black one would have made this outfit perfect. and thank heavens she let go of the anarkalis!!!
i like her kurta, it’s better than the anarkalis which were getting too predictable.
OMG ! not those shoes..agree with Sej..black would have worked much better.
i wish she would do something different with her hair… change in outfit … change in hairstyle.. PLEASE!!!
I hate the bottom and the footwear!! they are just so o bad!!
She looks so much younger in this style as compared to the anarkalis.The grey churidar is a downer though.
the polka dots give me a headache…if they were slightly more spaced out and if they were smaller, it would have been easier on the eyes
Polka dots anytime are cute….but had she gone for just a knee length dress minus that dowdy grey thingy ….she would look good … she has a pretty face and defintitely has money …So Vidya please please hire a great stylist!
and also why does she have always have to dress 10 years older… sigh !
I adore this! She looks great and has an edge! I love how she works with simple stuff and WOW for the weight loss 🙂
LOVE the kurta! Want it!
Whats not to love…I want it…
I don’t like it.. it looks like she’s getting ready to go to bed. It’s not something you wear out.
I think she looks lovely. The grey put me off a bit but it’s not that bad. At least someone is trying to develop their own sense of style and not imitate Hollywood.
looks great,i think its very casual.grey looks fine too,its too casual and comfortable a look to pass comments on.its lovely.she looks great too.like her bangles.
Those pants and shoes kill the whole look for me.
I like the kiurta but not the length of the kurta..
Love the kurta !! I want one now !
Q: what are the Indian ballet flats kinda shoes called ? I cant for the life of me remember the name.
Jutis/Mojris?
Mojris !! Yes Mojris !! Thank you beans & AM
Indian Girl, it is mojri I think.
Ms. Balan often gets a lot of flak on this site. Coincidentally I happened to be reading a TOI interview of hers where she talks about the ups and downs in her life. I know this site is essentially meant for fun but it does make you think that it rarely reflects or makes allowances for real life, the bad phases where you don’t feel like dressing up or just personal preferences with regard to clothes (Ms Balan for e.g. seems to prefer Indian).
Looking good Ms.Balan….she needs to thank Sabya for styling in Paa. Looks like his creation.
isnt there some fashion rule regarding how heavy the outfit is- length, sleeve length etc. and how closed or open the shoes are? would havethought an outfit like this needs airier sandals with toes showing
Guys i think this look is part of her movie promotion? Considering Abhishek was also promoting the movie Paa in the white kurta pyjamas wish HHC would at least have mentioned that she is wearing one of the costumes of the movie. It is a Sabyasachi outfit. And don’t u think it is a welcome change from the matchy matchy combo’s done to death by everyone?
P.S that is a long buttoned down shirt which she wears open with slips in the scenes from the songs being aired on T.V.
I would have given her 10/10 for the kurta and the big chunky bangles bu the grey contrast ruined the look. ://
But I still believe that the look was a welcome change 😀
I love the contrast of the grey. Hair and make-up are spot on. She is soooo beautiful and I’m really glad she sticks to her personal style.
She looks really really good in traditional things, so I’m glad we’re not seeing her in Herve Leger, Bebe minidresses etc.
To me, this is Vidya’s best ever.
I’m really liking this!!
that’s wayyy too long…a little shorter would have been great.
