Doing The Media Rounds
At a promotional event in Kolkata, Vidya continued her Sabya maxi obsession. Rani ditched western wear and jumped into a Sabyasachi anarkali herself. Too bad we don’t have a full-length of Rani. Update: Now that we have a full-length, can’t say I like either. That anarkali is making Rani look tiny. (Thanks ‘Mahashakt’ for the pic tipoff.)
They also wore Sabyasachi saris for their appearance on Jhalak Dikhla Ja. I love the saris on both but wish Rani had on a bangle to complete her look. Catch their appearance here on Youtube (around the 8 min mark).

I like the maxis. Love Rani’s sari and blouse but wish she wouldn’t insist on doing the one-boob drape. Vidya is a vision in that color.
I too like this maxi on Vidya. And both look lovely in sarees.
i too wish rani would avoid the one boob show. its a transparent saree and everyone would still see the 8000Rs blouse. so no need.
vidya looks lovely as usual in the saree.
Rani would look much more elegant if her sari wasn’t see through….Vidya’s sari look is perfect; I even like her in the maxi though the outfit itself is very hard for a petite woman to pull off…Therefore, Vidya deserves all the more credit..Looking at Vidya with her sari and 3.4 sleeve blouse and mogra makes me wish I was living in India- if only to wear these outfits on a regular basis..:)
no one does…wear those outfits on a regular basis that is 🙂
of all vidya’s maxis, i like this one best. and Rani has really made the black see through saree her statement..and she looks fab!
i had to smile at this one : “Looking at Vidya….makes me wish I was living in India- if only to wear these outfits on a regular basis..:)”
i have had some ppl and thr looks made me feel that…esp a particular school teacher who has short hair and wears a beautiful saree every day and everyone loved her..! sighhh…
Isn’t Madhuri Dixit wearing a Sabyasachi Anarkali in Jalak Dikhla Ja?
Malaika Aurora’s dress looks interesting too. Can you ID that?
I actually liked Rani’s Sari, especially the blouse.
Agree with you that the anarkali makes Rani look tiny. I wonder why she couldn’t get the length altered to suit her height, considering Sabyasachi would do anything for her???
@ Angel: Madhuri was wearing the same anarkali Rani is wearing in the above pic but in a different color : purple and sap green.I liked her version better.
I think Malaika was in a Vikram Phadnis
Madhuri was wearing Sabya …
Malaika was in Vikram Phadnis…
“but wish Rani had on a bangle to complete her look”
nitpicking much??
not really. without any apparent jewellery, her look does seem a bit unfinished. a bangle’d have been perfect. VB on the other hand has all the accessories in place.
Those anarkalis are simply horrendous.
The maxis look ridiculous. The saris, elegant.
I think Rani’s sari is quite elegant..vidya manages to look like an elder sis in the second pic..
the velvet on rani’s salwar looks awful. i like the gajra on vidya’s hair. she is acrrying off the colour of her saree well and she actually looks very cute in the maxi as well.
They are looking very frumpy in the maxis. What a terrible fashion statement !!
The anarkali makes Rani look very short and… fat. And those weird arm patches aren’t doing much for her upper arms either.
Vidya looks classy! Rani looks good too.
eeesshhhh…is tht velvet on rani’s anarkali??…o|o *eyes popped*
I just love that Maxi…really nice…Love Rani’s anarkali too….
anarkalis need to be banned.
love both the saree looks 🙂
both are wearing bad outfits in the first pic…and rani is looking usually sexy in the black saree and vidya why does she looks so boring and older than her age…morgo and these earrings are too much she isn’t attending a wedding!!
you nailed it! why is it that vidya however beautiful she might look never comes across as appropriately dressed for the event? these days she mostly looks like she is going to the temple or attending a puja, or going for some haldi kukum type of event!
These maxi needs to be banned, seriously it looks just like a pach work nightie that my grandma wears!! it completely breaks my heart to say this !!! considering its Sabya!!!
Not to be rude but these maxi looks exactly like a nightie my grandma wears…! it breaks my heart to say this considering its sabyasachi, but I have to say !
Vidya’s maxi is horrid…hate it…it can look good, maybe on a very tall and stately model on a ramp! Rani’s anarkali–Sabya’s signature style is mixing up interesting prints and textures but this one is just too much!
Both the ladies look lovely in their saris.
