At a book launch today, Tabu was spotted wearing a Payal Khandwala maxi. Subtly contrasting the rich blue color was a pair of hot pink kolhapuri chappals and gold earrings.

Even though we don’t have a good front profile pic, I really like this look and would recreate in a heartbeat.

P.S. Catch Vidya wear a red version of the maxi here.

We always love seeing new designers and giving us our first ever real-life sighting of the brand MIUNIKU was Poorna at the Grazia Cover Girl Hunt. The brand started by sisters Tina and Nikita doesn’t have a big following yet but we see that changing soon.

Coming back to Ms. Jagannathan, while the simple styling made the overall look really stand out, the dress itself needed to be a tad more fitted. It felt too baggy on Poorna.

P.S. She is carrying an Anusha Lalwani clutch.

Neha helped judge the Grazia Cover Girl Hunt wearing an orange Dior maxi to the event with a snakeskin clutch offsetting the solid color. These days most tend to over accessorize which is probably why I love this look. Not a single piece of jewellery and yet she looked so striking.

Wearing a Shivan and Narresh dress, Esha attended Grazia India’s first-ever Cover Girl hunt. Pairing the black and white dress with Dior earrings and basic Choo pumps, her look was finished out with a ponytail.

While Esha on her part wore the dress well, between the exposed shoulder and the contrasting panels, I found the dress just too busy. I think I would’ve liked this dress better if there were no sleeves on it.

Are you a fan of it?

Seeing Double!

One of our readers, Aria, tipped us off about this Jovani gold gown. Now, if you’re fashion fan, you know that the gold gown is quite an exact replica of the Gaurav Gupta design seen most recently on Deepika.

Jovani and many other labels indulge in this practice: taking an original, adding a few tweaks and selling it for cheaper. But, this is probably one of the few where the replica isn’t an inspiration.

Imitation may be the best form of flattery but when it comes to this business, we’ll tell you, we aren’t fans of such practice. Not one bit. Same goes for some of the desi designers who rip off international designs with teeny tweaks and pass ’em off as their own.

What’s your stand on this? Would you knowingly buy a replica/inspired outfit because it’s cheaper? Am not talking high-street brands here…
