The stars of Dhobi Ghat alongwith director Kiran Rao made an appearance at the premiere of their movie at TIFF on Friday. The men went with bandhgala-style jacket suits with Aamir picking a brown one and Prateik, a black one over a blue shirt.

Of the ladies, Kriti was a favorite of mine looking beautiful in an orange gown that she paired with gold bangles, some lovely gold earrings and a gold clutch. Co-star Monica kept it simple and beautiful in a strapless silver-grey Varsha Bhawnani gown with drop earrings. (Why does this gown look familiar?)

Kiran went short in a black & white Pankaj & Nidhi dress that she paired with an owl Judith Leiber minaudiere and a gold necklace. I wish she had picked one or the other.

I wish we had good full-lengths of all but alas, these are the best I could find. Am quite looking forward to more of Kriti and Monica’s appearances on the red carpet though.

Jump-Suit?

Arpita wore jumpsuits back to back and while we didn’t mind the black one (since it was a casual appearance), hated the brown one from the premiere. The color didn’t flatter her, the neckline clashed with the brown in a tacky way and the detail at the waist made it look like she had a paunch, which Arpita doesn’t! Did we mention already we hated it?

It’s been a busy day for Freida. Earlier in the day, she attended a press conference wearing Narciso, then quickly changed into a Resort 2011 Alexander McQueen dress for the premiere of her movie ‘You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger’.

Even though I love the curls, but because the neckline of the dress is detailed, I do wish Freida had gone with a pony-tail and also picked non-satiny footwear to offset the satin dress. The look then would’ve been a perfect 10 for me. She completes her look with an Alexander McQueen clutch.

P.S. As I lay out the runway and first pics of her, I realize that completely unintentionally, it (the pics) makes the model look like she’s thinking, ‘how dare you wear the same dress’. 😛

It was a blue Narciso Rodriguez dress for Freida, who looked lovely at the press conference of You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger in Toronto. I wasn’t a big fan of the black shoulder strap on the dress which is why I am loving that Freida’s loose curls cover it. It gives the appearance that the dress is a one-shouldered one. A box clutch, black sandals and bangle completed her look.

Both Farah and Mini chose Ranna Gill dresses to wear to a recent premiere and while Mini’s was a typical/standard Gill dress that we’ve seen before (or it’s other versions), Farah’s wasn’t. Also, we don’t quite know just how exactly we feel about that dress.

While the neck detail is interesting, paired with the loose hair and gold accessories, it hardly makes an impact. And the little that it does, just contributes to the visual clutter. How we wish Ms. Khan had sported a pulled-back do, just to let the neckline shine.
