Sari Style
At the National Film Awards 2011, Malaika and Kangna went the sari route.
While Kangna kept it simple in a yellow lehariya one, Malaika decked hers (a Ritu Kumar we think) up with a lot of jewellery. Whose look are you digging more?

kangana luking sweet and malaika lukin charming…………..>)
Looks like Malaika is chanelling her inner Bong 🙂 Is that a Ritu Kumar saree she’s wearing?
Kangna dresses up like a Christmas tree for a temple visit and goes “stewardess” for National Award…someone help this silly girl please!!
Yes, looks a lot like it.
@FashionVictim I totally agree with your views on kangana…ha ha!!
I’ll pick malaika over kangana 🙂
Isn’t Malaika part Malyalee, part Punjabi? Where did the Bong bit come from? They both look lovely even though I like Kangana’s style better….
I think FashionVictim means the big red bindi on Malaika’s forehead – very ‘Bong’-like…..
Umm…wat is “Bong”??
I think both saaris are lovely and worn beautifully. I like Kangna’s a tad more for she kept it so simple.
Love them both. Kangana’s sari is perfect for the indian summer and Malaika nailed the nighttime look. BTW she’s not decked at all. I am loving the bracelets and the bindi.
No comparisons…Malaika gorgeous, Kangana pale stewardness
Both look good but I agree with the previous comment…Kangna’s look is too simple for an awards ceremony
they both look lovely. the saris are highlighting their awesome figures.
Both look great,but ill fitting blouse on a saree looks very tacky. So minus points for kangna
Both! Kangana looks so pretty.
i think kangna looks soo elegant! malaika’s a bit too chamak challo!
Malaika is a gorgeous Malayali and for once she’s looking like one.
Both are looking lovely! I am a traditionalist when it comes to saris, and I love the way they both are wearing them – not much skin show, classy and elegant – the way the sari is meant to be
they both look lovely but my vote would goto malaika who btw I isn’t wearing “lots” of jewelry!
For the sari, it felt a lot. Those Maheep Kapoor earrings and the two kadas and the heavy-duty gold Rolex just seemed too much. But, to each their own. 🙂 Update another pic, just for you.
I think the National Film Awards merit some sobriety and Kangna looks lovely. She reminds me of a young Kate Hudson in terms of style and aesthetic and I’m so very jealous of how clothes sit on her!
Malaika, while not really in something I would wear, looks good as well but a simple solid choli may have stopped her from looking a tad overdressed. Nevertheless, being Malaika, she looks good.
I agree completely. For a sober occassion like the National Awards, Kangana’s look is perfect and very appropriate. Malaika’s look would have been apt for the Filmfare awards or something like that…it is definitely not the way to dress up for an elegant event like this one.
Malaika is a well preserved woman and I applaud her for it.But why does she always insist on being so dhinchak in both western and Indian wear.Sometimes ,no make that all the time less is more and is more true with age.Now how lovely does Kangana look.Simple and beautiful.her face is doing all the talking.Now even Malaika has a beautiful face.But sadly the lady seems unaware of it and insists on making her body the focal point
Absolutely love Kangana’s demure, simplicity. Just wish she had done something with her hair, it looks so raggedy.
Kangana too simple for National awards even though quite fresh and lovely> Malaika looks gorgeous. I heart those earrings!!
Btw does anyone know how come Kangana was present? I mean did she win an award? or being a former awardee fetches her invite?
Kangana was a special invitee. Don’t know the reason for it, perhaps being a former awardee DOES fetch one an invite!
This looks like a daytime event, and Malaika is definitely overdressed for the day. Her look is oh-so-boring. I like the simplicity of Kangana’s sari and her minimal make-up look is so refreshing from the caked-up bollywood celebs we see!! She’s like a breath of easy-breezy fresh air!
Was Malaika doing an item number at the awards ceremony? Neither of the ladies are appropriately dressed for such an event. One is over dressed and the other underdressed!
completely agree ..one looks like christmas tree and other like she just stepped out of shower and decided to meet the president ..there is nothing event appropriate about both
Nice to see Malaika in a saree for a change, she looks fantastic and the jewelery just adds to it, the earrings are gorgeous. Kangana just pales in comparison I’m afraid and what a drab looking saree!
I think Kangana is dressed just right for the national awards considering the audiance. Mallika always looks a little chammak challo and so predictable. I would any day go with Kanganas look.
am surprised that Malaika’s wardrobe has something like this … with her favourite ear rings, those kadas and the big bindi, shez looking gorgeous, one beautiful Indian woman!
as some say maybe it’s a bit more for the National awards, but they are from Bollywood and are in the spotlight for winning an award … so it’s fine I guess!
Kangana looks fresh but pale … hair should have been taken care of!
Like Kangna – she looks simple, against the usual over-the-board traditional looks we get from the girls at the national awards……..
Like Malaika – except those huge earrings *=(as such they look good, but overwhelming here). That red bindi suited her, oh so well
I too don’t have any issues with Malaika’s jewellery. would have been a bit too much with a neckpiece but is perfect as it is. I wish she’d get rid of those contacts thoughy. Makes her look like Celina Jaithle (sp?) with the oversized bindi et al.
a round of applause for covering both boobs.
Malaika looks super glamorous, I like!
Like Kangna’s look better…but then, I always dig simple looks.
Kangna’s best appearance according to me..such a sophisticated and beautiful look! <3
both look fab!
but im amazed at how malaika’s looking all covered up and not attempting a boob show like we’ve seen priyanka chopra do in the past. applaud!!
