Sonali sashayed down the runway at the Omega event wearing a purple Mandira Wirk gown that had an exaggerated pleated detail on the shoulder and a pleated bodice with an ombre effect. The gown had us at the color and the dramatic shoulder and props to Sonali for not spoiling it with a bib necklace! Love it.

  1. Stunning – the face, the colour, the look, the style! She got everything right! She really is one of the most beautiful women in India…

    • True! With her height, smile, physique she could have easily been the number 1. Many times I think the difference between Aishwariya rai and Sonali Bendre is just good luck. Sonali’s career suffered at many spots, whereas Ash had a wonderful upward rising curve!

  2. To me this gown seems to have taken inspiration from a Mrachesa one that Blake Lively wore a few months back at The Costume Gala. Obviously Marchesa was much much better, and beautiful.

    • So true, it was the short blue Marchesa dress…It was lovely caz the Marchesa dress was short and did not have the whole satiny shiny fabric as in this gown..

  4. wow! she looks nice.
    just wish she added some small shining earings and not liking the spiral sandals much. she should have gone for some simple black/silver sandals.

  5. Sonali looks lovely. Not a big fan of this dress, i hate pleated anything. But she does make it work. Wish she had chosen silver footwear.That black is too too stark against the purple.

  6. She looks really pretty and the colour works well for her but the gown itself looks a bit tacky to me. Somehow very few indian designers can make quality, chic gowns. Something almost always looks off

  7. I find the fall of the gown not quite right.. it seems tacky, also the pleated shoulder detail doesnt quite seem awe inspiring.
    I guess its sonali making this dress look great! she looks lovely!

  8. I gasped when I saw this picture
    It’s an outstanding look and honestly one of the best I have ever seen on this site.
    Dress is dramatic and i’m so glad she didn’t tone it down with some boring old pumps or sandals.
    and her hair and makeup is impeccable

  9. The shoulder pleating is too much for me. The rest is great, even the shoes. I love black “strappy/gladiator/S&M/bondage” shoes with cute dresses.

  10. god pnp you guys have a strange sense of style if you like that gown..it looks tacky and looks like one of those made in thailand cheap dresses. im disappointed that you like this awful dress. sonali wore the best gown ever at the drona premiere. yikes..this gown is cringe worthy

  11. Fully agree with you that the colour is rich & ravishing. But the gown….it’s so wrong on so many counts I don’t even want to begin!
