While almost all of Bollywood was committing major fashion offenses at the Saawariya premiere in India, the Om Shanti Om crowd had their premiere in London. And after seeing Sonali Kulkarni’s “insides”, everything seems to please the eyes now! (Even though Deepika’s lehenga totally matches the red carpet!)

The choicest Indian clothes are out and about and the festive season is resplendent with beautiful traditional clothes, one better than the other! But if you don’t know what you should be buying, read on!
A must-have this season: Churidaar sleeves. Most designers are doing them in diaphanous chiffons giving it that translucent, delicate feel! I love it! If what worries you is the fact that you might not like these sleeves for too long, then worry not. They are going to be around for a while! However, if the romance does fizzle out for you, all you have to do is take them in to your trusted tailor and have the sleeves cut off to turn it into a sleeveless Kameez or have shorter sleeves attached!

The next big trend this season is the Anarkali style Salwar-Kameez! It looks great and fits wonderfully on all body-types (very flattering for those downward problem areas) and you can’t resist a twirl in it!

Well there is a big war going on and I don’t want to be in the middle of it. You know! The whole Deepika vs Sonam war! Who will be better? Which movie will do better at the BO? So it wouldn’t be fair of me to cover the Saawariya music launch and ignore Om Shanti Om. No effing way!
Anyhoo, just because I said I will cover the event, doesn’t mean I have to be nice! I am totally disappointed at Deepika’s outfit. I love the neckline of the blouse but overall the outfit is just too “blah”. I wish there was more detail to this bland sari. And that rhinestone belt…oh so tacky!
Another fashion offender was Ms. Shreya Ghoshal with this uggggly dress and even uglier white tights! It seems like you either have a sense of style or you don’t and Shreya seems like she just doesn’t!
Thank god for Kirron Kher! She stuck to traditional (which she always does) and didn’t go wrong! Her jewelry was minimal and that bag was simply too cuute!

Deepika Govind’s collection was split into two main themes, one of ‘Soulscapes’ and one of, ‘Mindscapes’ and used only eco-friendly products.
There was a lot of color. And polka dots. And pieces in white were offset by some very geometrical patterns. But the collection in itself, I didn’t care for much.
