In Zara
Considering that Ms. Malik is top heavy, wearing a fitted tuxedo blazer (a really bad one at that) didn’t really help. Adding multi-necklaces to the look was the last nail on the coffin.
If she had kept it simple like the model, we would have loved the brocade dress on her.

oh dear. she shouldn’t have worn that jacket or those necklaces.
sPONGE bOB ANYONE?
oh noo..this look is really cringe worthy! I am also very top heavy and I totally agree that just wearing the dress sans accessories would have worked best. I have a Michael Kors sheath dress in a similar design that I’ve worked by pairing with a cardigan if needed. I really don’t get that blazer and those beads with the dress..the only thing i like about this look are the shoes…
Zara keeps slave work in Brazil! Please please don’t embrace trands with this behavior! We have to do something!
Worse than putting on that blazer was probably buttoning it. Those pearls look bad.
Exactttlyyy !! It wud have still looked bad.. But not as worse as this !
Everyone in B-town seems to be jumping on the ‘tuxedo’ bandwagon! The necklaces make it look like she’s attending mardi gras!
I just realised her outfit matches the sofa besides her! lol
Avantika is a cute girl…she needs to capitalize on her extreme cuteness. The simpler she keeps her attire the better she looks…in fact the less make up she has the better she looks!
How can one make such a beautiful dress look bad?? By layering crap on it, instead of letting the dress be the star.
That jacket doesn’t sit right on her….what was she thinking heading out the house wearing that?
xactly my thought..
such a shame to spoil such a beautiful dress..
she looks completely stuffed, stout and suffocated in that blazer.
Totally agree! She could look so much better! When will someone make her realise it!!!!
seriously stuffed. The best i have seen her look is in her mehndi ceremony in a MM salwar kameez. She shd stick to desi looks.
Channeling one’s inner hunchback is never a good look.
what were you thinking!!!classic example of money doesnot buy style!!!!
That…thing, it has shoulder pads, does it not? She looks terrible, and also like she can’t breathe.
Too much money, too little style!
I think she shouldn’t opt for flared dresses that too with such a heavy material…she would look much better if she goes in for thinner/lighter materials…
Moreover, putting so many necklaces will always give a cluttered look…unless it’s a multistrand necklace! How I wish she would have just gone in for a smaller neck piece…
Besides choosing a bad outfit Avantika herself looks so incredibly uncomfortable its hard to look at! In the second picture she looks as though she is trying really hard to suck her stomach in.
she definitely needs a stylist…
pigeon stuffed in one small size clothes.. she has access to all the great stylist … then why on earth?
Shoulder pads 🙁
such a waste of a pretty dress
Well, to be fair- I have the same dress, and it fits me snug.. I am not even half as blessed as Avantika here- it just gathers up under the chest- unlike what you see on the model..
I am guesseing it was more of a necessity than an accessory for the girl. Not that it was a great choice.
I also think it’d cut her all wrong- this isn’t a dress for someone with curves.
