Doing The Rounds


Ms. Kumar has been busy promoting her upcoming movie and below are her two recent appearances. Wish we could say she sparked our interest with her sartorial choices but that wouldn’t be true.

First, it was the rather tacky yellow asymmetrical-hem kurta (?) and churidaar. Then came the white dress which though relatively better, was a look let down by styling. That faux pearl and flower bracelet… Very tacky.

However, considering how the appearance already improved the second time around, perhaps third time would be the charm?

Booted


Sporting boots at the screening were these ladies and while we don’t like either, think Genelia fared better than Anusha. Anusha’s look was too much of a hotch-potch.

Rewind 2012: Our Favorites


Another year ends and we present our favorite fashion moments from this year. Keep in mind that this list is a random order.

You could fine us for liking the first two just because they are practically the same outfit. Yet, each wore their Sabyasachi look so differently and made it their own.

Thanks to Heroine, Kareena gave us quite a few standout appearances this year but our favorite was the Ungaro appearance. Bye bye raccoon eyes! Natural makeup and an updo and we had ourselves an instant winner.

Poorna, with each appearance caught more of our attention this year. With the Bibhu appearance, Poorna showed us that she could do edgy as well as romantic.

Neha’s Atsu look stood out for us because it was very different from what we were used to seeing on the Filmfare red carpet. Read: blingy saris and same-ole gowns.

Kajol went through a major style-makeover this year but of all the looks, the one that we loved the most was this appearance in a floral chiffon sari. Simple yet sweet.

Sridevi set the bar high back in Jan itself in the Elie Saab printed gown. We love this look because it was kept simple. No statement jewellery let the gown do all the talking.

We saw Bipasha don Anamika Khanna many a times this year but it was this sari look at Singapore that she looked most adorable in.

Almost all of Ms. Padukone’s appearances have been winners but it was the red on red look in the Gaurav Gupta lace gown that was most memorable for us and part of the credit goes to the hairdo as well. Loved the short look on her.

Speaking of hairdos, even though we had expected Sonam to give us the best moment in Cannes, it was an at-home appearance in this Dolce & Gabbana suit look that blew our socks away. The hairdo was unconventional but Ms. Kapoor made it work and we loved this look from head to toe.

Priyanka’s most memorable look came not at home but while she was attending the Grammy’s. In a Gauri and Nainika strapless gown with sideswept curls, the actress has us wishing for many more such appearances. Alas, we didn’t get that many.

Did we miss some memorable looks form 2012? Go on, tell us!

Doing Black


After giving us a fab appearance in McQueen, Sonali went for a rather drab outfit for the Walia-Parmar wedding bash. The bandage top was quite ill-fitted and the wide-legged pants didn’t work.

We no like. 🙁

In Twos- Part Deux


While the fit of her pants was off at one event, everything was off at the other. The lilac/mauve silk shirt, the pants… None of it worked at the trailer launch. So sloppy!
