In Manav Gangwani


If you thought you saw all the Manav Gangwani looks that were there to be seen on the Green Carpet, think again. These ladies too were in the said designer’s creations, they choosing to wear saris over gowns.

It was a sheer embellished black sari for Riya and an ombré one for Natasha. We don’t care for either but have got to say, Natasha does fare better by a slim margin.

In Elie Saab


A drop dead gorgeous look from Ms. Rai in an Elie Saab and Longines only released tiny pics. They ought to know better than to restrict this stellar appearance to only 150 X 260 pixels. 😛

Update: Thanks ‘Aniket’, ‘Nidhi’ and ‘Alisha’ for pointing us to the bigger pics.

Of LBDs


Ms. Kapoor looked great waist-up at a recent launch but there were just so many competing elements as far as her look itself was concerned… between the stark white watch, screaming red nails and gold YSL heels, it was all a bit too much. Pity, the BeBe dress (that was also spotted on Shamita Shetty) in itself was enough to make an impact.

On an aside, looks like the heavy eye make-up is getting bit of a rest. Did the recent People magazine cover have anything to do with it? 😉

Thanks ‘Jerseygirl’ for triggering our memory!

Also In Manav Gangwani


Even though designer Manav Gangwani didn’t show a collection at the IIFA Fashion Rocks event, he still got to dress up almost all the ladies at the IIFA Awards.

Kim wore a silver jersey gown with a silver Jimmy Choo candy clutch. Yesteryear’s actress Zeenat Aman (who was awarded a lifetime achievement award) wore a black satin gown with lace sleeves paired with a black clutch. Raima wore black chiffon gown also paired with a black clutch.

Kim does stand out for the sole reason that her dress has more pizazz because of the silver color and even though it’s a very simple design, it’s much better than Raima’s slouchy drape that really isn’t flattering. I would have preferred Zeenat’s gown without the one-sided shoulder detail but wow, she still looks so regal.

In Alexander McQueen


Malaika paid tribute to late designer Alexander McQueen by wearing a gown from his Fall 2007 collection. If the gown looks familiar it is because it was first featured in Vogue India worn by Gauri Khan, who also wore it in a maroon version at the launch of Lap (see here).

Am really surprised there are no full-lengths anywhere of Malaika.
