Our expectations from the grand finale have always been sky-high. Unfortunately, we are yet to feel that they’ve been met.

We knew going into the show (virtually, in this case) that there would be tons of paneled backless floor length anarkalis and tiered lehengas with heavy gota work and guess what, we weren’t wrong!

Last season, we were pleasantly surprised that Mr. Malhotra had dialed down the OTT. Well, at the grand finale he dialed it back up again. It’s great to see Manish everywhere, showcasing in fashion weeks after fashion weeks but part of us thinks that perhaps, just perhaps, one should take a step back and possibly rework/rethink ideas..

Every designer has a signature pattern and we wouldn’t want him to change it up radically. Just enough such that we don’t feel like that at every fashion week we’re just seeing the same thing again and again just in a different color palette.

This, however, is just how we feel. Many of you may beg to differ and we welcome your reactions.

Did not see this coming. A major disappointment from Ms. Kapoor! The ruffled dress had no business being paired with those denims.

Neha looked absolutely smashing in her red Victoria Beckham dress at the LFW finale show. Black clutch, Ferragamo peep-toe pumps and a multi-strand kundan choker completed her look. Though in an ideal/perfect world, we’d have sized-down the clutch but the addition of the kundan jewelry more than made up for it! 😉 Love.

It was a pleated BCBG maxi for Amrita at the Lakme Fashion Week. Collar necklace, Louboutins and a Jimmy Choo clutch completed the look.

Lil’ iffy on the silver pumps considering both the clutch and the necklace weren’t… Having said that though, she looked pretty darn nice! The addition of the collar necklace made all the difference to what would’ve otherwise been a regular look in another strapless dress.

Deepika kept it casual in a black Mango tank and black shorts when spotted at LFW. A sparkly bag, statement jewelry and nude pumps completed her look. Once again, Ms. Padukone got her hair and make-up just right! We like. (It would’ve been even better had she dressed it up just a tad, maybe with a jacket?)
