Shimmer. And Shine?


Not in Rakhi’s case. We are all quite familiar with Rakhi’s obsession with all things blingy especially when it comes to clothes/jewellery! OTT is the only way she does it which is why I am not surprised to see her in this gold Falguni and Shane Peacock dress. The dress had enough shimmer as is, but add Rakhi’s overbronzed skin and it looks so much worse.

P.S. You can catch singer Hard Kaur in the same dress in the Verve India December spread here.

Sonakshi on Avant Garde Life: (Un)Covered


For her first cover, Sonakshi wore a blue dress by Wafa Saifi. The gold details were right on the trend, what with ‘studs’ being everywhere but the matchy eye-makeup was just a tad much.

Why must eyes always match the clothes? Why? Especially when it comes to blue.

In Herve Leger


Another day, another Leger! This time, a skirt that we spotted on Ms. Chopra at a recent event.

Though we are so tired of Leger dresses, can’t get enough of their skirts. A very versatile separate that can be played up or played down… the only pre-requisite being a bangin’ bod! 😉

Having said that though, on PC it just looks same ol’, same ol’! On paper, the belt and the top should’ve worked well with the skirt but yet, on PC… it doesn’t.

The woman is hot and smart, just wish one of these days she’d bring IT.

Kangana Ranaut On Grazia India: (Un)Covered


Grazia India has Kangana in a Fall 2009 Dolce and Gabbana ‘Marilyn Monroe’ dress on their August 2009 issue. And I love it.

I love the whole contrast of it… how the kitschy print plays of the severity of the silhouette. The bee-hive hair, the strong lips and the hemline respectably skimming the knees scream sexy secretary until you notice the Marylin print and the dramatic shrug… and that just gives it the ‘edge’. Not a fan of the shrug but on the cover it works perfectly.

I loved this collection so it makes me very happy to see it on someone off the runway, even if it’s on a cover.

On an aside though, aren’t y’all tired of the same ole’ angry model pose? The serious face, the ‘turn-you-into-stone stare’ and hands on the hips…?

In Karen Millen


I love the color and the length of this Karen Millen dress (seen also on Lara) but the balloon sleeves really kill the look for me. A simpler version of this dress and I would have liked Minissha in it who still looks quite good. Your thoughts?
