From The 1920s

At the music launch of ‘1920’, Adah Sharma and Anjori Alagh decided to wear ethnic and while Anjori faired a tad better than Adah, both were quite disappointing.

You would think that considering they are trying to make a mark in the industry they would wear something more impressive. Did not dig the patchwork on Anjori’s blouse at all and Adah needs to learn that just wearing a lehenga doesn’t complete a look! You need work on the hair too!

Such dated looks! We so don’t like!

The latest cover of L’Officiel India has Dita Von Teese on the cover wearing a Louis Vuitton scarf and a Suneet Verma lehenga skirt.The spread was shot by photographer Fabio Chizzola in New York City and has Dita wearing even a sari and carrying several Louis Vuitton clutches.

Here is what Dita and Ami have to say about this collaboration:

“I was thrilled to be photographed for the cover of L’Official India! I have been fascinated by the beauty of feminine attire of India, so to wear a combination of mainstream modern fashion and elegant classic traditional dress for L’Official India was a wonderful experience for me.”
– Dita Von Teese

“The elite L’Officiel readers have simply loved the cover, Dita is both a fashion icon and a stunning model, and to see her in carrying of traditional Indian couture was a big treat for all her fans world wide.”
– Ami Patel, Fashion Director, L’Officiel India

What do you think of the spread?

More pictures from the shoot are inside. Don’t miss her in the same LV blue gown as worn by Kareena for her shoot at Chiswick House.

Miss Universe will be held today in Vietnam and here are a few more images of Simran Kaur Mundi in outfits by Indian designers…

Watcha think? Pageant worthy or not? (Besides the Ritu Kumar lehenga for which she won the National Costume award for..)

An Indian “Seal” To Heidi’s Vows

Heidi Klum and Seal decided to go “Indian” for their third wedding anniversary vows that they held in Mexico. Heidi wore a red lehenga and Seal wore a blue sherwani.

This kid is now wondering, whether they wore designer creations or picked up stuff randomly from a Jersey store! (My fingers are crossed hoping it is designer! 😉 )
