A Blackout

As a color, black is the most flattering one, but that was still not enough to make Sonali’s jumpsuit look good on her. The jersey material coupled with the odd length really worked against her. On the other hand, Ayesha looked far better in her all-black attire. A look that I quite liked minus the clutch.

While Katrina wore this dress casually with simple sandals (she was also in character), Preeti dressed it up with pumps and a red mini Chanel bag. Whose look do you prefer more?

P.S. Although Kat’s dress has a white lining, pretty sure it is the same dress. 🙂

P.P.S. Is that a hanger loop (on Katrina’s) that’s escaped. 😉 (Update: You guys are right, both have something hanging on the other side. Weird design!)

Update: The dress is a Marc By Marc Jacobs. Thanks ‘Anu’.

Here we were about to post the Priyanka cover and lo and behold, the Jan cover makes an appearance with Kangana on it. We liked the fun vibe of the Priyanka cover and shoot but are absolutely loving the close-up of Kangana, especially the fascinator (something we don’t see much of).

Catch the Priyanka interview here and here and the shoot inside.

If Priyanka has her short minis, Vidya her Anarkalis, guess we now know what is a favorite of Ms. Jaitleys. Considering we didn’t like any of the looks at all, would a better question be which look was the worst? 😛 (The attempt at trying a ‘formal’ look with the blazer and puffed-up hair was our pick.)

P.S. If you don’t know who Daisy Duke is, go here.
