Front Row Fashion
Chanel‘s theme for Pre Fall 2012 was ‘Paris-Mumbai’ and in attendance was not only Freida but also Sonam Kapoor, both wearing dresses from the label’s Spring 2012 collection.
While Freida did a more casual look pairing her blue dress with black booties, Sonam went for a more formal look pairing her white dress with tights, pumps and multi-stranded pearls (how appropo).
Whose look are you digging more?

Not feeling any of these two choices. The name on the labels matters not, they are ugly creations.
TRUE
Agreed !
Not liking either looks. Not my style.
If I had to pick, I would have gone for sonam’s dress without the sleeves[or make it one sleeved/one shouldered – but definitely not the way it has been presented]. I like bold, structured dresses but teh sleeves look strange.
not digging either, either. completely agree on the sleeves issue.
and i feel sonam went horrily wrong knees down with those opaque black tights and pumps.
what’s with the shiny material on freida’s dress? it looks rather cheap, and that colour is not helping it any.
agree with the sleeve issue as well as how those black tights are completely killing the look.
finally get to see them together!! but i am not digging either. they both look tired.
oye sonam ke chamchee u two. andhee ho gaye ho kya? how appropo.. pfft! She should be on the WThey arleady! frieda on the other hand looks so chic. love the dress, shoes, makeup n hair.
make dat Sonam n twinkle’s chamchees.
Real chamcha geeris P&P!!
LOL!!…agree with every word
totally agree with u
Lol…. ur so right !! sonam looks like a hot mess here ! and those stockings n pumps.. YIKES !
Bingo!
Ha ha ha …Kumar u r funny…its true both dont loook that great…Sonam even though i wanna like her look…cant like it…its overwhelming
this comment is in bad taste.
WTHEYYY!!!
Goose-like Sonam, and fluffy bluebird Freida. Must be the designer dud castoffs. The girls look supersilly in these outfits.
gee…none..both the outfits are quite ugly..wht’s with the goose feather sleeves on Sonam?
Definitely Freida! Sonam looks like she’s trying too hard and i don’t like the result what-so-ever!
Freida looks charming
ps: who is the lady wearing Sabyasachi behind freida?
Where is the lady behind Freida?
I am not digging them either. Too high fashion haha! But I do like Sonam’s hairdo and the turquoise pearl on white!
the “fashionista” tag has really gone to Sonam’s head. she has completely lost that natural ease that she once brought to her styling. her looks come off very forced for some reason. the pearls don’t look good at all with this type of a dress. the only people in bollywood who have a good style are neha dhupia, dia mirza, and kangana.
rightly said, looks very forced.
i also agree with Ann’s comment above,her dress is like a birds costume.
pinto looks better, though her dress is also not that good.
She should go back to her aisha days!
Her recent appearances are so Whtey!
I like Sonam’s look better. I’m not sure Freida’s shoes quite work with the dress.
Neither actually. Sonam’s white and cyan color combo looks lovely but that’s about it. The dress itself is weird and she looks like a bird ready to take flight. The black leggings looks horrendous, why on earth could she not skip them?
Totally agree with SS…plus the hair and the heavy jewelry is aging her unnecessarily.
On an aside, the word is “apropos” 🙂
Sonam looks bad.. Freida looks gorgeous 🙂
I would go for Sonam though am not liking the tights 🙂
Common, P&P u should scold sonam for that tights
I agree, the tights are pretty bad. I do love her hair, make up and jewelry.
I still like outfit paired with jewllery , especially that turquoise necklace… but TIGHTS ,nooooooo
Sonam is trying too hard these days. Frieda fares better, but only marginally so.
Definitely Freida…..Sonam is looking like a puffed up doll
hahahaha Sonam looks like she is about to fly
Her outfit is such a disaster…
Sonam: like her appearance minus the sleeves..love freida’s color though…like the tights as well…what’s wrong with that ????
God Whyyyyyyy !!! Why on earth did sonam chose that dress !!! Its Horrid its tacky its Whteyyyyy !! All mixed together ! She has disappointed big time ! Freida other way kept it simple and shez looking beautiful and far better than Sonam !
Just saw the other front row ppl, I am sure Sonam made a joke of herself over there. And I used to love her for her fashion sense .. Sigh 🙁 🙁 🙁
None none, but I can say I think sonams is worse , she is trying tooo hard, looks like a chicken, n those tights r gross
Both look far below their best, but still pick Freida over Sonam. Sonam looks like trying too hard.
i never thot i wud say dis…bt freida looks wayyyyyy better than Sonam…
hate both the dresses!!! but what’s wrong with the tights???
Frieda is effortlessly stylish, Sonam trying too hard and this time a fail esp with those black tights
come on, P & P, how are you liking Sonam in this??! She looks like that big mother goose in Puss in Boots. Come on, this is a Whatthehey!! put up a poll!
“big mother goose in Puss in Boots”
this comment had me ROTFL
Sonam looks bad. I hate the sleeves…combined with the necklaces, the earrings and hair do its alll too much. Frieda fares better bcoz Sonam looks ridiculous otherwise nothing great bat her look either…and the booties were a wrong choice for that dress.
I think Sonam is wearing opaque tights due to the weather..it’s Winter in Europe.
But I thought the show was inside… with lighting, heating… she is driven to 10 feet of the venue and collected straight after… If she can prance around in a sari in rain and snow in films she can whip off the tights and give her dress a chance!
amen
ohhh goddd she’s human, doesn’t have to freeze all the time just because she danced in the snow in a couple of films!!!.. and the dress doesn’t need any chances.. it’s already a fail
When they shoot movie scenes, they do one take in like a few seconds then they have their assistants holding a jacket for them to run in to.
this is a WTHEYYY moment for sonam…..ridiculous outfit.she looks like a hen.and its the worst i’ve seen of freida….
Sonam should have avoided the necklace for sure, and the dress is very unflattering to her shape , Freda looks cute
I have bangkok clothes bought from bandra which look better than both of their looks. I think their hair was made in the dark.
I like Frieda’s a lil more.. Sonam looks bloated up in this dress.
Sonam is looking super silly. ROFLing on the ‘ready for flying’ comment. I am all for the fact that it’s PnP blog and all but still this one deserved a WTHeyyyyyy!
Contrary to what a lot of the other commenters have said, I actually think both dresses are gorgeous, whatever issues there may be with styling/hair/makeup. Also, Sonam’s tights don’t bother me; they’re weather-appropriate.
Freida just for that face and smile!! Outfit wise… Both not impressive. Sonam does look like a giant bird about to take off. Freida’s is marginally better.
WOW! two fashion icons together and definitely not in their best! :/
loving Sonam’s look here.. Freida looks a little frazzled but she nonetheless she always looks stunning..
frieda, sonam looks like she killed a bird somewhere.
I think Freida looks slightly better. I don’t like the tights, the pearl necklace with that dress, the hair (it ages her), and the makeup (too much blush) on Sonam.
And I don’t think the ladies had that much choice in dresses. I think Chanel PR lend/sent them some dresses to wear to the show.
Neither one but Sonam’s look is more WTHEYYY than Frieda, atleast the color is working with Frieda.
Did Sonam apply her make up in the dark? Awful.
i am 5 wrong posts away from doubting your taste and style credentials. 1. sonam’s necklaces clash with the busy neck detailing and 2. frieda’s hair n belt just kills it. Girls, seriously, get down to serious fashion dissection and maybe, its time to play down kissing up to these celebs and designers? just sayin…
Definitely Freida over Sonam any day. I love the blue dress – not just the colour but the beautiful, flowy material is gorgeous. It’s just lovely.
Didn’t work for me – I didn’t ‘get’ either dress though undoubtedly both of them are (supposed to be) chic. At least they didn’t wear something obviously boring.
P&P: hate to sound pedantic, but the word is ‘apropos’.
Loving Sonam’s hair plus the dress with the pearls. Not really a fan of her tights though. I think they make the outfit too dark for my liking.
Loving Frieda’s dress plus the shoes. Hating on Frieda’s hair though – Looks too messy!
I second angl!! Rightly said 🙂
freida’s dress is beautiful but her hairstyle for this outfit – not so much.
sonam looks matronly…her styling does NOT look effortless.
Well Freida’s seems a bit more down to earth while Sonam’s only looks reasonable on a runway or artsy photoshoot. I can see Sonam is very much into the granny chic craze that’s hot nowadays. I entertained it for a while but now I’m waiting for it to end.
