Not Quite
Let’s get the things we like out of the way first… love the minimal accessories, soft make-up and the color (white) against Ms. Sherawat’s skin-tone. Really do. The part that we don’t? That’d have to be the pinstripes on the gown making it look like a very, very low thread count linen set in a motel.
(Look inside for more pics.)

At first I thought those lines were just the draping of the fabric, and thought it was really pretty. But it’s a pattern on the fabric?! Ick.
I can see what u are complaning abt…I don’t mind the pin stripes…just can’t picture the gown in plain white.. I think she is looking smashing
awesome!!
I think I know why Mallika rocks most looks…coz despite the fact that she isnt ‘bollywood’ pretty..she is tall..has a great body and seriously high confidence level…ooozes attitude…Im with you on the texture being ‘excuse me..what now?’ …but she still works it out man!
LOL ! P& P you guys are so funny ….
Doesn’t she remind you of Victoria Beckhem ?( And I am not talking about the face here….)
Exactly my thoughts
is it okay to wear a watch with a fancy gown? i’m just wondering.
at first i thought it was a bracelet but the up close pics show that it is a watch. even if the watch is expensive which it probably is…are there any rules on that?
no rules for fashion …….. a diva wud be the one who makes unacceptable rules -> FASHION TRENDS 🙂
I love it! So what if it’s striped? It adds something to the dress. She looks fresh and lovely.
more than the pinstripes, what’s troubling me is the fit at the bust area… its just so weird??!
if only the fit was good, i’d love it with take it with the stripes.. she’s such a charmer, no?
ahh she whud looks so only if her boobs cud look natural..
i love it.. dont see what the fuss is about! for the first time she looks good in a good way!!
Everything about her just screams FAKE. From her smile (the same in every photo) to her enlargements (so obvious).
why are her boobie always want to break free/ peep out ….
I for one love cleavage if its done tastefully , and I agree ms sherawat has ample assets , but they are peeping out of each and every outfit she wears, and sometimes it looks forced …sexuality is all about subtle hints and not on your face skin show.my thoughts anyways !!
I actually really like it. The pinstripes make it more interesting.
is it just me or does it look like one of the ‘silicone sisters’ is trying to make a desperate bid to jump out of this dress
the boob is unnaturally distracting to be honest.
nah – you’re just nitpicking. she looks pretty fab.
the dress looks great.i cant find any thing wrong with the pin stripes.she looks stunning.I think you are being unnecessarily critical.
how you can you not mind the boob sticking out of the dress.
it looks so tacky.
she looks fab. gown is nice too. except for the OTT boobs bulging…
everything else is fine except for the unnecessary boob show. she even makes THAT stunning dress look cheap
she looks stunning!! don’t know why people just cant say anything positive without saying a negative point.don’t know whats the fuss about the pinstripes.It makes it more interesting.
I think some ppl are being unnecessarily critical!!
She needs to go easy with her pushup bra.
No matter what she wears, her boob show ruins it all.
The dress is nice … esp with the pin stripes… Plain white would be Boring …
That said … the fit around the bust area is weird and ruins her look for me .
It’s just a little bit of cleaveage: and don’t forget she’s in hollywood not bollywood, every second woman right from the likes of Pamela Anderson to the likes of Victoria Beckham has silicone implants and they’ve all worn plenty of outfits that show way more cleveage. She probably looks quite natural out there, it’s your standards that are too conservative.
I mean obviously it’s not very demure, but she’s Mallika Sherawat the sex symbol NOT the queen of England. I think she’s just working what she’s got and it’s very appropriate given the place and the person.
What’s REALLY tacky is the way some commentors out here have talked about it, a little bit of class people, a little bit of class. Please?!
About the outfit: agree with PnP’s comments absolutely
@ Belle – with all due respect to your opinion, what most commentors (including myself) object to in this case is the seemingly “forced” display of cleavage.. i can recall various other actresses from Bollywood wearing deep/low necklines while in India (twinkle, lara etc), but there was no widespread criticism as the cleavage show was much more classy…
The question is not whether she can/should display her cleavage.. its whether it looks aesthetically acceptable/pleasing (which she is not), and also whether by making an effort to moderately coverup she would have appeared more appealing ..
Just my 2 cents
That is what I’m talking about: in India nautral (or atleast seemingly natural) is the way to go.
But in Hollywood, tons of celebs have obvious breast implants which they flaunt and it’s considered sexy.
Which is why Twinkle and Lara, who look natural have been approved by commentors on here.
I think it’s just a cultural difference and she was
geographically appropriate.
I agree, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. I still wish people on here would keep it a little more classy though. (I’m not talking about you, so no offense)
It looks like she just HAD to drag her dress down by a few inches to facilitate the boob show.. makes me want to hitch up her dress.. then she would truly rock!
I think she looks great.. the boob is a bit distracting in the 1st and 2nd photo and I have noticed this before — the camera hardly ever catches with her mouth shut.
I really like this look. The stripes do not take away anything from the look
For me… the way she stands in second picture… is very strange nd stupid.. everything else seems fine.. considering Mallika’s ways.
She looks great!! I love white for gowns and saris.
She looks great!! White is my favourite color for gowns and saris.
Can I firstly say I have no issue with the baring of flesh – but trashy is just plain trashy regardless of where in the world you happen to be, there is nothing “modern” about putting all your wares on show – doesn’t matter if yr Malaika from bollyood or Pam Anderson from hollyood -dressing trashy is not chic or forward thinking.
The dress is fine – but her left boob seems to be desperate to escape and one has to wonder given Ms Sherawats reputation to make headlines with her outfits whether that was deliberate or not.
Whatever happened to the comments i posted before…
Anyhow, i like how she looks and i actually like the pin stripe. It adds a little dimension to a plain boring white fabric.
About the cleavage, I just feel it looks a little out of place for that style of neck. She could have avoided that.
Maybe with such good looking ones, its just difficult not the flaunt.
i think malaika needs to learn less is more..beautiful bod but the bust is presented in a weird trashy way…
