Fusion Style
At a recent wedding reception, Malaika Arora served as emcee but instead of going a traditional route, she donned a fusion look by pairing a cutout gown (seen before at the 2007 Filmfare awards) with a heavy necklace and a maang tikka and I actually liked it. I guess the fusion look was better to look at than the searing red/silver worn by Neetu (see inside).
Thanks ‘SS’ and ‘Vaishali’ for the Filmfare tip-off.

hasnt malaika worn something similar while hosting the filmfare red carpet 2 years back ? or is it the same dress ….
aaah so tacky! did she have an item number to perform as well? If yes, then I’m ready to forgive her
hey but OMG, NOOOO it cant be, but YES it is, her outfit is LONG??? past her knees? OMG, reaching upto her ANKLES??? happening for the first time since August 27th 1996 and I’m glad you guys posted this rare incidence.
lol… i agree, she rarely wears anything that extends beyond her well shaped rear end, in fact i keep wondering if its classy to almost always dress like that, waiting for a peekaboo accident to happen or its just how some beautiful people prefer it..
I like it too – I think she wore this gown at the Filmfare Awards a couple of years back.
Yikessss…….she looks lyk a bar dancer…..c’mon gal..u can do much much much better dan dis OTT fancy dress costume…
I second @Anl’s opinion. She does look like a bar dancer- very hideous fusion. I think Neetu looks much more elegant.
bar dancer cum halloween cleopatra look gone wrong. Why pair such an ornate necklace with a dress that has so much going on, and isn’t the first rule of decency not to try to outshine the bride’s bling?
i think malaika looks hideous! i can’t believe i’m saying this, but neetu looks much better!
Dislike both looks, they’re both so tawdry. Malaika looks like a little girl playing Disney Princess.
ditto.
Totally OTT nonsensical outfit. Anyone else wearing this would be WTHey! You guys are biased.
I vote for Neetu Chandra’s look over Malaika’s fashion fusion weirdness any day.
The red sari looks tacky.. the red bit esp
was she performing?
hey FC got invited to Orange awards…i wish you guys get invited to Filmfares…..or one of the fashion weeks……u guys totally deserve it…..
Great Look!
Love the necklace and the mang tika with the dress.
Only she could have carried off something so outrageous with so much elan.
Sorry but I do not like the fusion look at all—-it looks neither here nor there as opposed to an amalgamation of the best from both styles! I prefer her in the earlier picture.
Uhhh, not really. Firstly, I don’t see that sari as “fusion”. It’s simply a 21st century Indian sari. Secondly, what’s so wrong with it? Fix the pleating, and I think it’s quite a nice sari, especially considering the monstrosity I was expecting after being primed by Malaika’s ridiculous ensemble. Neetu wins here.
Malaika looks like she’s in costume for a soapy miniseries…
“Malaika, Indian Warrior Princess”
yeah 🙂
she looks gud tho… she makes this ridiculous outfit work!
i swear … her and neha dhupia and wonder women!
She looks sizzling but she could have skipped the heavy necklace and still looked just as fiiiiine
I only like the maang tikka that Malaika has on. I don’t like the dress or the huge necklace or anything Neetu has on.
Now wait just a gosh darn minute. An emcee at a wedding reception?
Yep! Emcee for the entertainment section which had appearances and performances by multiple stars. 🙂 That’s the new age wedding for ya!
Malaika looks great. So nice that she experiments!
Neetu also looks nice. Ok it’s a bit ‘Ekta Kapoor’ but still looks nice.
Love Malaika’s look. & Neetu looks decent.
OUTRAGEOUSSSS!!!! YIKES im shocked!! this cant be true
lol at Tongue in Chic’s comment!
I just cannot get myself to like this woman.
There’s something about that dress that repulses me. I cannot pinpoint what it is!
agree…i always find her quite tacky..i just dont know why !!..and oh in here she looks like a bar dancer to me ! :S
Without the necklace it would have been quite okay for an emcee. Hey wait, is there a slit in that dress? Why was that necessary?
Neetu’s is awful.
Malaika’s heavy necklace looks horrible. Love Neetu’s look.
The red and the orange is starting to hurt my eyes .Wish some one had attempted for an offwhite or a beige outfit in the style of Diya Mirza.
don’t like the emcee look at all..
Alrite P&P, you guys are biased towards Malaika. She is horrendous in the fusion avatar.
bhavna’s outfit looks awkward
HIDEOUS!
If it has to be a toss up, Neetu ‘s outfit over Malaika’s any day. The jewellery looks like its choking her, not to mention the rather ‘filmy’ over-styling
I am all for Fusion.. and Malaika has done that before very well… but this is really tacky.. the heavy necklace, the gown with so much flare and that slit.. nope..
Neetu looks way better than Maliaka..
On anyone else, the red dress would have looked cheap and tacky.. Malaika miraculously carries it off. Neetu’s saree is okey dokey.. not a disaster
SHe looks gross! Ewww!
