Brocade Fever!
When Priyanka first sported the look in ‘Dostana’, we were too distracted by all that velvet Manish Malhotra had been doing and sure didn’t spot brocade creep up on us!
Who knew brocade cholis would be the next big thing in every movie that Manish Malhotra had a hand in?!
P.S. Wonder what these ladies feel about having the same look as the other.

i love the thicker straps on priyanka, and since she was the first we saw it on, she def fares well above the rest.
Kareena wears it w/ confidence in the promos and looks great! i think the only diff between all of them is that amrita is a bit shorter, and those are really ugly sandals…
…you know, it may have been Manish Malhotra, but Priyanka looked HOT in that song- a little but of weight is very sexy on her
I’ve never been able to bring myself to like Amrita (Vivah much? *shudders*) and Kareena looks…sort of frigid
manish always tends to have the same kind of look..
on a side note…how fugly are amrita rao’s shoes. i cant see them properly but they look pretty bad.
Brocade blouses/cholis have been around forever, but their newest avataar is only for the screen. Who wears such bra-like cholis is real life marriages/ function.
Those were my exact thoughts when i saw the promos of Kambakht ishq and knew it had to be MM for repeating the look on every actress .. I have a certain liking for brocade cholis, though obviously longer ones and not these minimal ones ( Aishwarya in the movie Shabd anyone ??)
I like Kareena’s because she’s carrying herself really well there. If hers and Amrita’s had thicker straps, i’d so love them.
broade kameezes have been out in u.k for a year now, I really like them
Loved priyanka’s dostana song outfits, specially the red one. the bra blouse was okay for the song, but not anywhere else.
Amrita is looking stinning in this movie, shame about the shoes, why black??
Brocade cholis have been in fashion for far too long now for Manish Malhotra to brand them with his stamp!
all three looks good, but I think they shouldn’t wear bras as cholis.. Manish, you can go too far :S
whts brocade???? priyanka looks good tho! kareena.. um meh! she doesnt look that great!! and once agian wts brocade???
Kareena in Kambakkht Ishq is styled by Aki Narula, not by Manish Malhotra.. So the look might be Aki’s
I think th manish malhotra DVD stucks very offten…
it just keeps repeating same track..
Agreed Priyanka did look pretty Hot in that Song!!
Also , why on earth is Kareena always pouting? Somebody please tell that woman that she looks some much better when smiling.
the 3 girls r wearing brocade bra’s while kareena’s sporting a modern version of a traditional cut choli…..
btw, kareeena has been styled by aki narula!!!!
HHC ….u shud check ur facts correctly.
funnyboneFashionista,
While its true that Aki Narula has styled the movie, this outfit on Kareena is by Manish Malhotra. Just because Aki is the stylist doesn’t mean Kareena is wearing his clothes.
also….
amrita
ur belt and shoes r grotesque’.
brocade is indeed very in these days..i mean u can find brocade suits n blouses n lehnga…n its looks good…but shudn be over done…a cousin got married recently so have the idea as all ic an find in the market was brocade..also u can find cushon covers..curtains…table cloths of brocade..lolz..
hey priyanka don u have an option where uc an del yr comment..i mean my frnds use my comp n post a comment under my name…lolll…now hey r pushin me n pinchin me for typin this…they say hi to u n love yr site…no need to post this one lolz…
Forget the choli, all their skirts are the same too!!
If you ask me, i think Amrita looks better ignoring her shoes.
Kareena’s choli is too “pulled up” and looks very uncomfortably tight.
Priyanka’s look is ok, nothing mind blowing, nothing wrong either.
Manish Malhotra is the most over-hyped person/’designer’ in India! He does not deserve to be called a designer!! You can get these lehenga, bra/choli combos at any lehenga shop, and better designed and less gaudy too! Rohit Bal, Sabyasachi, Manish Arora should be designing for movies as they have real imagination.
Priyanka is looking pretty ..she stands out of all three ..
when i first saw dostana and that particular song with priyanka wearing that, i was ashamed to the max cus it felt like the clothes are always getting shorter and shorter movie after movie. i wouldn’t have cared if a chunni/duppata had been covering her up but to be out in the open on the screen was a lil too much for me. i can take short shorts or mini skirts but not these bra tops. thats just a little over the top for me.
Priyanka’s figure looks really good here.. more so than Kareena.. Amrita actually looks ok body wise but I hate her shoes as Kismett mentioned.
I used to only like sleeve-blouses though these newer cholis are looking great too. Maybe I am changing my mind. All three ladies look gorgeous.
I think all the ladies carry Bra tops with aplomb & look fantastic
its funny how comments are made about the actresses, and soo much criticism of a designer. yes looks are important but not to the point of observing every detail in the dress . half the time the movies doesnt sell becoz of the script. too much emphasis on looks in modern india.
Eh whats that footwear on amrita… eewww tacky
The green choli or whatever it is, is absolutely hideous.
I like Kareena’s look better. Kareena’s body looks better and hotter than that of Priyanka’s……….. Priyanka looks weird.
