The Long And Short Of It


While Sophie went for a strapless gown by Manav Gangwani, Malaika (Zayed’s wife) sported a short dress. I thought Sophie looked divine in her gown. Loved the chiffon knot detail and the subtle sparkles on her gown. Quite an upgrade from the tacky MM sari that we saw on her yesterday. Malaika, on the other hand, had a bad dress to begin with. The dress itself had too much going on with the diamond pattern, sequins and fringe and all of it was made worse by limp hair and less than impressive sandals.

In Dolce And Gabbana


Spotted Ms. Patel in a strapless ruched Dolce and Gabbana dress… Am not a fan of the dress only because am not too fond of ruching, however… you like?

P.S: Below are two versions of the dress.

Shruti and Zayed For Manav Gangwani


It wasn’t a surprise to see Zayed Khan walk the runway for Manav Gangwani, but I was quite surprised to see Shruti Haasan only because I couldn’t recognize her at first glance. Even though the outfit makes her look like a displaced genie in search of her bottle, can’t ignore that fierce face! Not bad for a first time.

P.S. Shruti’s outfit is worth Rs. one crore! (Cuz the choli has diamonds in it.) Got spare change? 😛

In Alexander McQueen


What better place to wear McQueen than at the Couture Week? While am not sure if the outfit was a fit with Natasha’s style who usually gives us far softer looks, I do applaud her for wearing such an edgy outfit as this McQueen was.

From Real Life To Runway


For two ‘Fiama Di Wills’ events last week, Deepika got to wear Suneet Verma’s latest collection that was just previewed at Couture Week today. We don’t see Deepika in saris much and I wish she would wear them more often because she looks so tall and statuesque in them. As for the gown, considering Mr. Verma’s are so much more elaborate with many details, this one worked for me because it had just one big focal point, the flower at the waist.
