The National Costume round of the 2009 Miss Universe contest saw Miss India wear a Ritu Kumar lehenga. While, we loved the black skirt of the outfit, hated the cutout sleeves.

Whether the outfit appealed to the judges, we won’t find out until the 23rd, but what say you?

Update: You are right ‘Nitu’, Simran also wore the same design last year and hated it then too! (see here )

Shimmer. And Shine?

Not in Rakhi’s case. We are all quite familiar with Rakhi’s obsession with all things blingy especially when it comes to clothes/jewellery! OTT is the only way she does it which is why I am not surprised to see her in this gold Falguni and Shane Peacock dress. The dress had enough shimmer as is, but add Rakhi’s overbronzed skin and it looks so much worse.

P.S. You can catch singer Hard Kaur in the same dress in the Verve India December spread here.

Sonakshi on Avant Garde Life: (Un)Covered

For her first cover, Sonakshi wore a blue dress by Wafa Saifi. The gold details were right on the trend, what with ‘studs’ being everywhere but the matchy eye-makeup was just a tad much.

Why must eyes always match the clothes? Why? Especially when it comes to blue.

Dudes baring abs should have us drooling all over the keyboard, right? Well, while Kunal has us doing exactly that, Neil Nitin just has us going WTHeyyyy! It’s not so much the boxer briefs (ok maybe just a lil’ bit of it too) but more the sheer torn ganjee-like thing that does nothing for him. Nor for us.
