Switching It Up

I picked this Spring 2010 look for Soniya but turns out that Neha stole it for the event. Well, half of it anyways. Instead of going with the silk lace skirt, Neha opted for black harem pants which I don’t mind but I really wish she had pulled the hair back into a pony. The red lips then would’ve made for a fierce look! (And showed off the sheer part more.)

Not everyone was in Dior at the Dior store launch although if Kalyani Chawla had her way everyone would be! 😉 Sabina wore a white lehenga (worn the half-sari way) and was such a sight for sore eyes amongst all the gowns. It’s not that the Dior gowns weren’t delish. But, there is always something so soothing about seeing a traditional outfit!

So glad Shazahn didn’t make the same mistake as Soniya. Her Fall 2010 silver Dior was a great pick. Even though the dress comes with a lining, not sure why Shazahn felt the need to pin it up at the bust. Unless, of course, it was missing when delivered. 🙂

The Victorian-style necklace could’ve been given a miss, but we still like the look. You?

It’s funny how two very similar gowns worn with side swept hair give us two very different results. While, I loved Sophie’s whole look, Monikangana was a disaster head to toe! (Who wears pointey beige footwear with that gown?!?) A nice updo and some glitter pumps would’ve made a world of a difference for Moni.

Normally Soniya gives us winners but this one is quite a doozy. Even if we ignore the camera flash that is making the dress quite blinding, we cannot ignore that the dress itself wasn’t right pick for her. The color washes her out, the below-knee length and the design ages her instantly and not quite a fan of those platform sandals. They feel too matchey.

Bummer, because the Spring 2010 collection had some fun dresses ( here and here )that would looked so great on her!
