For someone whose sense of dress-up is leggings, keds and a crazy tee/top, am actually taken back that M.I.A made some effort and donned something other to the 2010 Costume Institute Gala. It was reported that she would wear an Alexander Wang for Gap outfit but I very much doubt that this creation is one. Am gonna guess that it’s just an Alexander Wang creation.

On anyone else, this would be a WTHeyyy but she with her I-freaking-rock-this-look attitude actually makes it work. Just goes to show that sometimes it’s the wearer that makes an outfit.

Update: It is an Alexander Wang For Gap one of a kind creation and will be auctioned off Here beginning May 5th.

Forget Oscars, in my opinion, the best event for seeing fabulous gowns on the red carpet is the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Yearly Costume Institute Gala. And so you can imagine why I am horribly disappointed to see Padma in this peachy/gold bustier gown. If the color wasn’t bad enough, oh-my-god at the feathers! What a letdown.

We won’t be covering the fabulous others (and there were many) but you can catch a full coverage of who-wears-what on our favorite blog Here. Move over Queenie, I think Padma just took your spot for looking worse in gold.

Update:Padma is wearing Roberto Cavalli. Thanks ‘Laveena’ for the news tip-off.

In Mandira Wirk

In most of her appearances, Vidya’s hair lets her down even though the outfit may be good. No such failure here. At the BMW launch, she sported an updo that worked great with the neckline of her red Mandira Wirk gown. What I love more is that there is neither red lips nor black bangles to border on a Match-wee-too-Much.

Well done, Ms. Malwade.

She loves her florals doesn’t she? I do like the dress on the left; it’s fun and she sure wears it well.

All That Glitters…

Neither of these gold dresses pass muster but Madhoo does fare sooo much better in comparison to Queenie who seems to be on a one woman mission to revive all that was wrong with an era bygone. Can almost picture her outfit (and hair) on a back-up dancer in one of those eighties movies with a ‘disco’ influenced soundtrack.

So, so dated.
