We were eagerly looking forward to both Sonali and Neelam at HDIL Couture week. Unfortunately both were quite disappointing in their embroidered dresses. Sonali’s dress in my opinion was quite ghastly and paired with those red ankle straps made the whole look far worse. In comparison, Neelam’s embroidered dress was better, but her look to us was just ‘meh’ only because we’ve seen Neelam do better. A ‘Not Quite’ (Neelam’s) and a ‘Not At All’ (Sonali’s) was what these two looks were for us. What about for you?

Red Hot! Or Not.

At the final night of HDIL Couture Week, Ms. Kapoor attended Karan Johar’s show wearing a red sequin dress that she paired with silver YSL Tribute sandals. Minus the excessive cheek-sucking in, we thought she looked quite hot. What say you?

On an aside, Ms. Kapoor seems to love those Tribute heels, this is her third pair.

Wearing Her Own

We love a designer who wears her own designs, is her own ambassador. Even if it’s from a collection we don’t much care for… And, it’s got to be said Nainika Karan (one half of designer duo ‘Gauri and Nainika‘) actually makes these dresses look passable, heck, I’ll even go as far as to say cute and spunky!

Coincidentally, both Priya and Bandana wore the coral Lanvin dress to events featuring Suneet Verma. We love the dress but prefer Bandana’s easy-go style over Priya’s belted look. You?

Of Loafers.

Off the bat, I know Chunky’s moustache should sway the vote towards Akshay. But having heard Chunky mention how he was surprised at getting an invitation to Couture Week and wanting to stand out by wearing his red pair, made me want to give him my vote immediately! 😛 Whether on purpose or for kicks, we don’t think the red loafers worked on either. Not with those shirts, at least.

You dig either or neither?
