The cast of Gangor, a movie based on the work of Maheswata Devi, attended the red carpet and photocall today at the 5th International Rome Film Festival. Unfortunately, we cannot say they did so in style.

For the premiere, Seema wore a French Connection black dress that she paired with (we-have-no-clue-why!) tights. Priyanka Bose wore a bustier gown but the constant pulling back of the skirt to show the legs was a major turnoff. We’ll give a few points to Tillotama for wearing a sari on the red carpet but take a lot more away for the way she wore it. It was awful and those jootis were such an eyesore.

Except for Seema (who again wore tights), the other two fared better at the photocall with Priyanka wearing an LBD with a rosette detail at the waist and Tillotama wearing the same Hervé Léger dress that we’ve seen on Rhea Kapoor and Lisa Haydon.

With a black dress and those sky-high Loubs, the statement Malaga necklace would’ve really worked. But, as is, it doesn’t quite get all the eye-balls it deserves. Am so distracted by the sequin pants. This one was a Not Quite.

When you have a sighting like Tulip’s on the red carpet, you can’t but help appreciate all the others for not only picking a better sari to wear but for also wearing it really well! Told ya so, it’s all relative !

Also walking the runway today were Narmada and Urmila for designer Nisha Sagar and a bevy of other stars for designer Neeta Lulla (including daughter Nishka).

Is the scalloped lehenga (on Kangna) to blame (???), because we kinda of are liking some of these! The ones on Nishka and Konkona… Perhaps because they are the simplest designs.

On day two of Amby Valley India Bridal Week, Kangna walked for designer duo Anjalee and Arjun Kapoor in a pink scalloped-tiered lehenga. Like? Can’t say we do.
