In Ralph & Russo

Post-wedding, Sonam’s first major appearance was on the Cannes red carpet. For the occasion, she picked a Ralph & Russo gown-meets-lehenga to wear. Playing off the mehendi still fresh on her hands, this bridal-inspired look was rounded out with soft make-up and a beautiful hair ornament from Amrapali.

Maybe we are all still reeling from the “#SonamKiShaadi” hangover but this outing felt like an extension of the wedding festivities. (We kept checking to see if a trail of Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla suits and saris were to follow.)

The princess puff always works for Sonam but in this case, it was all rather meh. And that hairstyle really let her down… Did absolutely nothing for her.

For the non-South Asian market, this look would’ve been both novel and unexpected. And in that, she delivers. But for those of us, who have consumed the wedding and fashion as served up by Ms. Ahuja née Kapoor, this felt rather underwhelming. And if she had to do a lehenga, there were far better options closer to home. (Her Anamika Khanna appearances on the Cannes red carpet have been far more impactful when towing that Indianwear-inspired line.)

How we wish she took a risk, a chance! If not her, then who? Here’s hoping she delivers with her next appearance.

Back from Cannes, Kangana was still up for some sparkles. And sparkle she did in her Dior dress while at a recent event in Mumbai. Playful lilac lip color and pair of black boots rounded out the actor’s look.

The dress and lip color, we like. The chunky boots however, wish they had been given a miss. The heavy shoes really weighed down the look, a look that would’ve otherwise been perfect for a summer evening.

At the photocall for Manto, Rasika was seen in an icy-hued scallop edge sari from Raw Mango worn with a middle-parted ponytail and kundan studs from Joolry.

This is a great example of when less is more! Loved her here!

On Sunday at Cannes, Huma attended the Manto screening wearing an Ali Younes gown and then changing into a slip dress and matching robe by Elio Abou Fayssal for the Fashion For Relief show in the evening.

Of all the red carpet events we’ve seen her at, the Elio look had to be my favorite! Yes, the robe was bulky but compared to all the other looks she’s sported so far, this felt so much more light-weight. Did I already mention she looked fabulous in it?

Deepika’s final event at Cannes 2018 was the Chopard party to which she wore a Marcell Von Berlin gown with emerald and diamond Chopard jewellery. Hair in a sleek top knot, her look was finished out with smoky eyes.

We’ve been hoping more pics would be released but no luck so far. Wish there were though, because she looked muy caliente. Even though the cape-sleeved gowns have been done to death.
