One look at Lara on the latest cover of HiBlitz channeling an apsara and I cannot but help remember Rekha from Utsav. Considering the theme is ‘Apsaras From The Golden Era‘, wonder if Rekha is featured in the editorial? If not in real, then perhaps in tribute.

Rekha references aside, Ms. Dutta is looking quite ethereal herself! This is such a departure from the same ole covers and I love it although Priyanka doesn’t like it at all.The cover reminds her too much of the campy posters used to promote tourism back in seventies/eighties.

What say you about the cover?

Accessorizing With Abraham & Thakore

We rarely ever have an Abraham and Thakore spotting and the reason could partly be that their simple understated collection wouldn’t quite catch the fancy of stars who have to wear something more eye-catching.

On Ms. Rao, this A&T patchwork floral scarf might not catch your eye considering the rest of the outfit is quite dud, but think dark denims with a fitted shirt and the same scarf would look oh-so-lovely.

At Venice Film Festival

Since professional reasons kept Abhishek and Aishwarya from being able to attend the Raavanan screening at the 67th Venice Film Festival (the film festival is sponsored by Jaeger-LeCoultre and it is a conflict of interest for the duo being that they represent Longines and Omega respectively), Vikram, Mani Ratnam and Suhasini were the only ones to attend.

No complains though, because director Mani Ratnam looked quite dapper in his black bandhgala suit. Wife Suhasini kept it simple in an ombre brown sari paired with a grey clutch. And, star Vikram chose a grey suit which wasn’t bad but the piped collar of this shirt was just odd and a complete killjoy.

At a press meet for the new serial Aahat, Roshni Chopra was spotted in a Karen Millen LBD with Kors sandals. She kept it simple pairing the look with just hoop earrings and came off looking quite nice. We like.

P.S. You can catch Eva Longoria wear the same dress right here.

We had an inkling that this Vogue editorial would be fabulous and it so is! Of all the pics, absolutely in lurrve with the lilac Miu Miu dress on Bips even though it’s been seen on just about every editorial out there.

………………………………….

If you watched the Emmys this past Sunday (or later), you probably noticed all the nude Zuhair Murad Couture collection gowns on the red carpet worn by Wanda Sykes, Jewel and Nina Dobrev. Now, Vogue India makes us really happy peeps by featuring Bips in a Fall 2010 lace dress on the cover.

I may not be a fan of the pose but loving the dress on Bips. Can’t wait to see this editorial.
