Out of Character
Promoting Ghanchakkar everywhere in character (you only need to google them), Ms. Balan finally took a break while attending The Front Row taping on TV and at an event in Dubai.
But, at both appearances even out of character, she went wrong. And for one reason. Pairing a white kurta with stark black sandals.

What’s wrong with wearing white kurta with black sandals? She looks good in the first set of pics, love that she is finally wearing the right makeup and love those earrings!
I agree with you 🙂
Where are those earrings from?
I don’t see anything wrong…she looks good in both pictures.
nude heels and i would have given these looks a ten on ten….but i still dont mind…she looks so good after a long…lonnnnnnng time ya!
how lovely is the first look….n i can just imagine if she would have paired the second look with jootis/nude heels, that outfit would have been on mah wishlist!
On the first look, the black sandals might not be that great, but honestly don’t see much wrong with black footwear with the denims.
I love both looks. She connects with the public because she is wearing everyday kurti, jeans ….no sign of designerwear, although it may be. And it’s easy to replicate. Smart.
I forgot…those black peep toes are quite sexy with the jeans.
+1
She looks so cute and current….
I dont know why but every outfit she wears overwhelms her..She is extremely beautiful and im sure she can do much much better
Fabulous…that face is to die for. Earthy, rustic and not plastic!
I dont see anything wrong with wearing black sandals with white kurtha. She looks great.
Why is she beginning to resemble Shabana Azmi slightly?
the first look just doesn’t work at all although she does look fab from neck up. the second look is more flattering.
why can’t one wear black sandals on a white churidar kurta? me thinks she looks so nice.
I thought the same exact thing when I saw those black pumps in her interview on the Front Row. It brought down the look. But the sandals don’t bring the look too much down in the Dubai promotions, she looks fine there.
Those earrings are so MUAHH !! Amrapali ??
And she looks good, refreshing like the elegant lady next door 🙂
You girls need to calm down. You cant expect every woman to dress like Sonam! Its just footwear and it doesn’t look half bad. She looks good otherwise. Infant very nice in the first set of pics.. Give her a break..
OK…so m the only one who feels her make up in third pic seems all wrong :\
A real woman wearing real clothes.
She looks so absolutely wonderful in both. Always a fan of white chikankari tops.
I am totally with the majority here…I don’t think the shoes bring down the look at all. She looks beautiful yet so approachable
Two of her best recent looks
I think she looks lovely–the nicest she’s looked in the longest time. Love the kurtas on her, and the fact that they show her curves instead of swaddling her. Oh, and that shawl is a nice touch too.
Great going, Vidya!
She looks beautiful. Could someone tell me who the designer of the outfit is?especially the first one?
It must be the pictures’ fault, but she reminds me of Heath Ledger in some of them.
There comes the attack of the fulgy sandals. *smh*
Thank god she is out of character noww…..i was shocked at what she wore to jhalak dikhla ja sets :O i mean how can she make herself look sooooooo funny….pathetic !!!!
I really like her outfit in the first set or pics (although you’re right about the shoes). She looks so good in a non-voluminous outfit! And the earrings are gorgeous!
