Wearing It Again
Aishwarya made an appearance (with father-in-law AB Sr.) at Shilpa’s reception wearing the same Abu Jani/Sandeep Khosla pink anarkali seen on her back in 2007 at an event in New York. The color looks great on her but those rhinestone patterns are still a turnoff. (or maybe I hate it more just because it brings back memories of a certain Ms. Balan from Filmfare Awards.)

she looks better now than she did then
i agree, she looks a bit chubby in the first pic of her in 2007
the color hurts “my” eyes and she looks “drowned” 🙁
Yep!! like it literally hurt my eyes…I think I got a sharp pain….it looks yuck!
Color might suit her, but here it’s almost a case of too much of a good thing. Hate it!
Nay !!!!
Koel is not impressed !!
ohh god just look at her didnt she had anything else to wear which wud have looked a little better??? the colour is toooo bright!!aishwarya i hate the dress n the same boring look on you!!
she always has the same boring look on her face, when she is at parties, award ceromonies AND EVEN when she is ACTING
She looks great, both times. I like how she wore bling but yet is toned down compared to so many of the other OTT blingy outfits at the reception. I liked only a few, maybe about 5-6 outfits, the rest hurt my eyes.
Oh yeah????
You think THIS bling is TONED DOWN??
hehe i agree… This is like.. My eyes just screamed : OUCH!
See the other outfits at the reception. Compared to them it is toned down.
hey! i usually love pink, but this is just an eye sore…
eww much ? too much pink goin on here…dont like it one bit.
This one is way better than that orange one of Vidya..even after being so similar..if you know what I mean 🙂 This one looks great and even it is blingy..that’s what we wear for weddings 😛
FUGGGLY !!!! Horrible horrible colour – even more horrible on her !!
And, best of all, this confirms the rumour that SHE IS PREGNANT !!
I don’t think she is pregnant. I think their plan is to have a kid when she reach 40. So she got 3 more years to do as much as movie she want. No way she will get pregnant now. She got it all planned out.
i though she was pregnant for a while some time ago???
mehh..its alright..ur right without the rhinestone patterns..this anarkali would be lovely.
p.s. just curious..why is this post tagged as “Bachchan Sandhya”?
The 2007 event was called ‘Bachchan Sandhya’.
Despite the design it’s a lovely color!
Wow, she just looks like The Pink Pyramid….toooo much fabric, and WAY too much length – you can barely see the churidar! And the hair is flat, flat……
Why does she do this to herself?
Ditto. She is drowning in all the fabric
What is there to like??? Don’t like any of it.
That pink hurts ny eyes. i wish Aishwarya wore an elegant saree!!
luv the color but why is a gurl like her wearing a tent like that??
Ughh my poor eyes. Never expected Ash to wear something so tacky. Granted she doesn’t have the best taste in the world but this is terrible.
can’t believe that someone like ash has repeated an outfit ( that too such a hideous one) for such a big bollywood event….. come-on bahu rani …you need to loosen the purse strings a bit
haha 😀 true 😀
TOTALLY AGREE HAHA lol when i saw this I was like WOW come on Aishwarya you couldn’t be just a little bit vain and buy a new outfit?! She’s either: 1.) not obsessed wth clothes and doesn’t care/wears whatever is at home which is kind of admirable in a way lol 2.) too cheap
or my favourite theory:
3.) didn’t want to compete with what she knew would be every other heroine in their shiniest best so she chose something that she’s already worn, thereby ensuring that whoever runs her photo will most likely include the previous time she wore it and so she is only compared to herself and no one else. Wow if that’s it… She’s smart!!!
No.. it doesn’t work. It looks very 80s, and not the “good” 80s.. dated, unflattering and just plain crazy to anyone who wasn’t there.
my thoughts exatly! this outfit reminds me of tacky bodysuits worn in circuses in the 80s… that’s never a good thing
Whoa is the color bright?! Aish probably has close to a million clothes to choose from and this is what she picked?!?! I don’t like it.
bling !bling! Bling!
Now where are my coolers ………?
ewww still in the Pink Panther mode ????
ewwwwwwwwwww
Aaargh, my eyes! Too bright! Only under16’s should be wearing that much voltage.
More than the dress it is the makeup that is bothering me. With such a bright, in-your-face colour she could at least have bothered to tone down the lipgloss and didn’t someone tell her poker straight hair is like so not in.
I love the color on Ash…and she is wearing this for the 3 time…the 2nd time was at Kjo or someones party. Wish she had chosen something more grand. She is disappointing here! 🙁
she will never learn!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….i just did a double take after seeing this.as much as i love bright colors ,this is way over the top
Hate the colour & the outfit!
no darling no …. change yr stylist
This is so hideous!! Ash has never had any taste but she reminds me of Dolly Parton here.
ha ha ha ha! what was she thinking!!!! she’s started looking so washed out and dated lately..see her in the new lux ad..she looks ghostly…er ghastly!!
sweetie, you need more color in your cheeks..no amount of color in your kurta is gonna help.
Why does she do this to herself??
She has her entire PR machinery overworking to prove that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. . and when the time comes to prove that she does this .. why??
The color -the design – the length all so wrong .. and on top of that her make-up and hair .. why does she cake on makeup like crazy at such events ?? the hair .. what’s that??
Woman, you could have picked up a Sabyasachi and so rocked it !!
But no, wedding=bling+garish makeup+bright color for most of our Bollywood!!
its nov’09 galz
hideous outfit. she looks nice from the neck up.
I love that pink ! Its a beautiful color that’ll look great on various skin tones ! But there is too much of it. I don’t mind that pattern on the chest but on the sleeves they look bad. Plus they make a person look bigger and broader….Thee is enough fabric in there for that effect .
this is an absolutely hideous taky outfit…she looks fat in the first pic..what is wrong with her???
girliess…I fotos on the right hand side should read Nov 09 instead on Nov 07 :-p
Loud!
She is looking bad here. She is one unattractive lady in B Town.
I have seen the video and I was shocked to see her holding hands with Amitabh. I mean that is just disgusting.
First of all this is a fashion site so there should not be any comments on whether she should hold hands of her father in law or not!
Second, what is wrong with that? My father in law treats me as her daughter and I treat him as my dad so I will hold his hands at times just like I do with my dad..tell me would you have objected if she was with her own dad! Com’n grow up and stop living in stone age!!
lol yeah that was really sick
what were they thinking!?
gross, eh!
The outfit is hideous – but ash never picks nice clothes, just goes to show even if you’re really, really pretty you can’t just wear any old sack and expect to look good!
She’s glowing 🙂 But I don’t like the outfit and she does seem to have put on some (or maybe a lot) of weight.
she is the REAL PINK PANTHER! lol
ick ick ickkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shouldn’t the second pic say Nov ’09?
That dress is terrible, and she looks really bad in it.
Goshh… how could she do that???,,, She has sooo much to choose from… why… did she.. had to wear this??,,,, No words for this… Damn Stupid!
Oh what a disaster. That embroidery is horrible and the colour is so tacky! And why is she recycling something that’s clearly not timeless and understated? Ugh I can’t bear to look at it again.
are all those pictures from 2007? shilpa’s wedding happened like now, right? it says ’07 on both pictures.
the embroidery on the arms is just too much…seems like abu sandeep are losing their touch
Aish looks mind blowing.
indian cavalli on acid……….
eeewwwwwww….
wake up girl!!!!!
Shame she picked this again. I didn’t like it the first time round, and like it even less now. She could have picked something nicer and more appropriate for a wedding reception.
Nothing wrong with holding hands with Paa. She has accepted them as her family , and Amitabh is her father in law. Hope the respect and love are true and will live on for ever.May God bless her with beautiful children.She will then remain a shining example of both a crazily successful career woman and wife and daughter. Ash, You Rock ,Strong woman!!!
This has to be one of the ugliest outfits I have ever seen. It is utterly beyond me how someone can wear that thing and stand to look at themselves in the mirror let alone step out of the house. Ughhhhhhh!!!!!
Somehow aside from generally having bad taste in clothing, Aishwarya saves her worst outfits for other people’s special occasions. At Zayed Khan’s wedding she turned up in a black lace sari and bikini top, at the birthday party of one of the Kapoor elders she wore satin negligee, and now this monstrosity at Shilpa’s reception. Is it that hard to find a pretty Indian outfit?
ditto.
hehehehe…i m amazed at hw A-N-Y post related 2 aishwarya gets d maximum response..n yet all negative..girls why waste ur enrgy at ll on her if you DONT like her???hw evrybody loves to hate her..:P
It’s probably because she / her PR have been so proclaiming that she is the most beautiful woman in the world .. So, everyone would want to see what ‘the most beautiful woman’ dresses up like .. And if you consider what she’s wearing here Or she’s worn all these years at Cannes .. you are bound to get negative comments …
The problem with Ash fans is that they think she can do no wrong .. when clearly she’s proved it time n again that she doesn’t have a good taste when it comes to clothes .. One negative comment on her ATTIRE .. and they think its sacrilege.. that everybody hates her ..
That’s not the case dear .. if you’re seeing maximum negative comments here it’s because her outfit is B-A-D .. not because we’re jealous or we hate her ..
For more proof, just check out the comments on her Filmfare sari or this year’s Cannes appearances……….
I soooo agree akaa…you summed up my thoughts. When you have so much PR proclaiming her to be TMBWITW, it is extra shocking to see someone look this ghastly.
I somehow feel that she has been told way too often that she is so beautiful that anything -absolutely anything- will look great on her. And she has taken that a little too far.
The reason people think you are jealous is because you can’t admit simple facts and skew things the wrong way. If you said things properly you wouldn’t look jealous. For example if you had just admitted that people actually think she is the “most beautiful woman in the world” you wouldn’t look that jealous but when you come out and act as if its SOLELY her and HER PR claiming that then of course ppl are gona think you’re jealous because you can’t accept the facts. I’m not saying she is “tmbwitw” mind you.. I’m just saying that other people have called her that. If all it took was someone’s PR management to have so many people think you were the most beautiful than many women celebrities would have done that by now. As far as I know only two women have really gotten that tag attached to them… Angelina Jolie and Aishwarya Rai. Everyone else tops a list every now and then but the tag doesn’t really get attached. That being said I think it was v. smart of Ash to wear a repeat to such a big event.. it ensures that she gets compared to her previous picture in the outfit.. and also makes it appear as if she’s not trying too hard which kind of makes you cooler than everyone else there. That being said, I don’t like this outfit at all.. but I think it’s a smart move made by her.
She looks pretty, cute shoes!!
Sharin you’re nuts. Rai is painfully overrated and many wise people are simply mystified by all the hype surrounding this uninspired woman. Simple as that.
Ditto!
lol I’m sure many wise people are mystified by the hype and I don’t deny that there is a lot of hype.. but all I’m saying is that people do find her beautiful.. not just her PR committee lol and it’s silly when people can’t admit that some people actually do think she’s one of the “most beautiful” and can only say “oh it’s just her PR doing a good job” …
OMG! The whole look is so loud..the colour & embroidery of the dress, silver jewellery & make up. not at all classy.
