From Runway To Real Life


Many of you have wondered how can anyone wear Manish Arora’s OTT designs. In reality, not everyone does. Most designers have a prêt (ready-to-wear) line which consists of pieces that are toned down and in turn are more budget friendly. An example of it is what we see on model Sapna Kumar.

To find out where you can buy Manish Arora, check out his page on The Directory here.

An Almost Ditto!


Neetu Chandra wore a dress similar to one seen in a green color on Sameera last year. They both had me at color, but lost me at the design and the footwear. Who gets your vote?

In Neeta Lulla


Celina went all black at the Swarovski dinner wearing a Neeta Lulla gown but instead of wearing it like the model, she goes strapless. I do like that she did away with the strap but it feels like an ‘uh-oh’ moment is about to happen soon just because the bust sits so dangerously low.

In Babita M


A gown that looks not so bad on the model falls flat completely on Vidya. I put the blame partly on the gown and partly on Vidya’s dated hair.

Sharmila and Soha on Hello India


One can’t help but go a lil’ aww seeing Sharmila and Soha on this cover but while I love Sharmila in her sari, I felt the red lehenga on Soha was a wee bit bridal. Perhaps, it was a deliberate move on the stylist’s part since Sharmila’s mentioned how she would love to see Soha get married.
