Here’s a look.

Ms. Dharkar walked for Solitaire at the ongoing IIJW in a white dress with floral details… Never-mind the dress (which we didn’t care much for anyway), how lovely does she look? Love the jewelry too!
She also took in Bina Goenka‘s show in a black strapless dress and while we didn’t much care for the accessories that she paired with it (barring the necklace), have to say the dress fit her perfectly and she looked rather lovely.
Such an infectious smile.

For the past several years, designer Ritu Kumar has been dressing up Miss Indias for the National Costume round but this year (post Sushmita Sen taking over the selection process for Miss India Universe), the costume has gone a different route. A very different route.
Ushoshi’s gown this year was designed by Kolkata based designers Dev R Nil who on suggestion from Ushoshi dropped the traditional sari/lehenga idea and created this piece inspired by the national bird: the peacock.
Yes, it is quite drastic and may find very less takers but I don’t think I could take yet another cutout-choli design from Ms. Kumar! As for the gown itself, it is too in-your-face-peacock. Here’s hoping over the years, we get better!
What’s your verdict on the design? Love it or hate it?
P.S. Catch Ms. Sri Lanka in a more toned down blue costume inside.
P.P.S. ‘apurva’ reminds us that the design seems eerily similar to the Marchesa Spring 2010. An homage to Marchesa (or McQueen) or badly executed (or well executed depending on who you ask) inspired gown.

Loved this appearance of Suzanne’s. The white wrap dress works really well on her, as do those pumps. One thing I’d change would be the Leiber minaudiere though. Barring that, très adorable!

The Good: A sari that would’ve looked tacky on anyone else came off looking so elegant on Sharmila who walked the ramp wearing diamond jewellery.
The Bad: Sagarika, also wore a black sari but with gold jewellery and somehow the look just didn’t gel together. The sari felt too modern and the jewellery way too traditional for it.
The Ugly: Neither of the two compared to Sonal Chauhan and words can’t express our horror at seeing her on the ramp. We hope she got paid tons of money to be dressed like that! Shudder!
