Packing A Punch?

… Not quite! After giving us gorgeous editorials, Lakshmi surely disappointed at the 2009 Costume Institute Gala. She was dressed up by designer Rachel Roy for the exhibition in a pink strapless number which she wore with Manolo Blahnik for Rachel Roy booties and Mont Blanc jewellery. Although the back of Lakshmi’s dress had more detail, it still didn’t quite make up for the disappointing first impression.

Considering the theme of this year’s exhibition was ‘The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion’, we are surprised Ms. Roy couldn’t be inspired more by this lovely muse. Or was it she kept the best for herself?

You can check out more of the exhibition and breakdown of who wore what here.

From The Archives: In Fornarina

Before walking for Tarun Tahiliani’s SS 08 show, Shilpa was spotted in a Fornarina tee backstage… Its not everyday that we see Ms. Shetty in $40 apparel! 😉

Yes, its old news… but perfect for slow news days like today. Plus, the tee just went on sale!

In Nikasha Tawadey

Model and Zee TV’s ‘After-Hours’ host Amrit Maghera was spotted at the ‘Rinaldi and Shimmer’ Store launch in a Nikasha Tawadey dhoti-style pants from the designer’s Spring 2009 collection. We loved the pairing of the pants with the sequin jacket but the studded fringed bag, although on trend, was a bit too much for this outfit.

P.S. We suspect the jacket is also a Nikasha but yet have to confirm.
