Of LBDs

These three ladies were restricted to LBDs and with three different options, you’d think there would be one standout. Alas, neither three impress much in their choices.

Ms. Dhupia had the most interesting dress of the three but the bubble silhouette at the bottom which was supposed to provide structure just didn’t fit right. As for Minnisha, she just had too much detail going on with the deep-v and the draping and not to mention felt like seeing a certain Ms. Sen just with added layers of fabric. Mugdha, kept it simple by picking one with a very simple design and pairing it with classic pumps but her dress seemed more like party-wear.

How we would have loved to see just one of them wear a sheath dress with simple pumps and work it, a la Preity. Did you like any?

Guess who loves his kurta?

As much as we love it too, we think Mr. Arora should retire this one for a bit. :p After Aug it was almost as if the kurta went into hiding but came out again at Good Earth where Manish Arora launched his own line of china.

Think we’ll have one more sighting of this fun blue kurta before the year ends? 😉

Carol walked for the designer duo and then walked away with the dress! Something we’ve seen her do before! :p

While we wish she wore the brogues from the runway, we do like this dress on her. You?

Can’t imagine anyone better wearing this shimmery Varun Sardana dress than the quirky model Bhavna Sharma.

Okay, so we would’ve chosen a different belt, skipped the chapeau altogether and certainly wouldn’t have had the courage to pair those boots with the dress but hey, we aren’t the ones wearing this ‘look’, Bhavna is, and she wears it with ease that’s for sure. Question is, do we like it on her?

We sure are envious of Ms. Chawla. Not only does she have an enviable job, she makes sure she looks darn good while doing it.

As for this particular dress, it makes a lot more of an impact on the runway than off it. While we do actually like the dress, it just seems so much more dialled down, especially with the tank inside on KC. Considering it was Paris Fashion Week, wish Ms. Chawla had chosen if not riskier then at least another not-so-day an outfit. Having said that, we much prefer this on any given day of the week over the blue disaster that was Ms. Pinto.
