Double Wide!

I have never been a fan of extra-wide dhoti pants (Gaurav Gupta?) and this appearance of Neha is not going to change my opinion of them. My preferences aside, while on some it would have looked ridiculous, Neha still manages to pull it off. The pants only that is. As for the whole look, it may have worked if the top was sleeveless and non-sheer and the sandals more of an ankle cut-off one to balance out the whole look.

Who knew the wide patialas worn by her character would have such a drastic effect on Ms. Dhupia! 😛

White Out

These two sisters wore all-white outfits to two different events complete with gold footwear. While Raima went uber-casual in white patialas to a film screening, Riya went a more formal in a churidaar outfit to a movie launch.

Considering both events were totally different, we think each did quite well but I have to admit, I am gravitating a tad bit more towards Riya’s fitted look. What about you?

We loved Nikasha’s collection… it was so fluid, romantic and easy. Beautiful.

Though not fans of the ‘Dhoti Pant‘, the part patiala, part dhoti pant just looked fabulous on the Nikasha runway. Instead of the stiff cotton or the usual jersey, the fabric that Nikasha used moved with every step, looked soft and so feminine.

Flower Power!

The floral kurtas on both are a bit too overbearing for us but we have to say we do prefer how Anjali toned it down with white churidaar! Juhi’s pink silky patiala still makes us cringe!

You can catch more pics of Anjali and Sachin from the event at “The Gallery”.

Churidaar Vs. Patiala

Spotted Ash once again in an icy pale hue, this time at the Star Screen Awards!

She sure does love her ‘churidaars’ with every silhouette. No complains though, because we’ll take a ‘churidaar’ over a ‘patiala’ any day when it comes to formal events! Comfortable as they may be, ‘patialas’ aren’t our first pick for formal events.

What about you? Would you wear a ‘patiala’ to a formal event?
