  1. just wish there wasn’t so much happening on the sleeve. Looks good on the runway.. might want to rework it a tad bit for the red carpet!

  2. This dress is SO ugly but I’ll give Sonam a pass just for being brave and trying new things. Better to see these girls experimenting than wearing the same dress worn already by 5 other people.

  3. I completely agree with nik…

    Sonam looks pretty face wise…. but my god, such outdated look overall. You should’ve titled this post: Blast to the Past.

  4. Sonam has a cute face. BUT, this dress is FUGLY and to wear regular pumps with it makes it worse.

    Please do not bring back the bad 80s look.

  6. She looks confident in a very,very bad dress. That must be acknowledged. Or is she just cringing inside at wearing an ugly DYNASTY dress? If thats the case, those acting lessons sure paid off!

  9. amazing how the dress looks hideous on the ramp, but gorgeous on sonam. actually…put sonam in ANYTHING and it turns out well. she’s the next fashion icon for sure!

  10. I must say I”m really impressed with Sonam for wearing something that is SO different. Most actresses would think twice about a dress that folds out from the side of the hips (since it makes your hips look bigger and Indian women have large hips regardless of weight). But this girl wears it so confidently! She seems too much of a couture fashionista for mainstream Bollywood. 🙂

  11. What the hell, she’s so fabulous. I can’t think of annyone in Bwood that daring or even able to pull off such a dress. Kudos to her 🙂

  12. Sonam is just sooo cute, and she never looks like she’s looking for attention… someone who’s comfortable in her own skin – prolly why clothes look good on her

  13. I am in love with the fact that someone has dared to be different. Edgy is right PnP, loving this sense of adventure in someone…..

    I wish she had played it up with some really risque heels, that would have truly notched it up.

  14. Why does this dress remind me of Glenn Close in 101 dalmatians? Is it the black and white contrast or the 80s design? I can’t put a finger on it ..

    PS: Sonam looks fresh and beautiful.

  15. okay finally something different!! She’s tall and skinny, perfect for this look…was getting tired of the same old dresses with the same cuts and sleeves and colour.. Totally digging this look. Only on her though!!

  16. Reminds me of one of those dresses from movies in 80’s Maduri to Meenxi to Sri use to wear in those tacky songs and tacky clothes.

    What is there to love, am I mssing something, Sonam does carry it off with confidence though.

  17. I love how edgy sonam’s clothes are. Really. But the pancake make-up and aunty hair just doesn’t work. It takes away all the style from her whole look.

    Reply
  18. Sonam is a pretty gal but her dress sense is very poor. This is another dress which makes her look in the league of Preity and am taking about age not star status.

  19. I love how sonam puts on something unexpected … shes always changing her style up … she wears it with confidence … and its nice to see her wearing anamika khanna … after all she did walk the ramp for her …

  20. I remember people saying during Saawariya days that Sonam can wear a paper bag and make it look glam.If it was not Sonam I would have gone “ewwww” but Sonam carries the dress so well that you just go “WOW”. She looks stunning. Her make-up, hair, styling is spot on.Her face looks like a million dollars. And I actually like the dress…especially the dhoti style…minus the sleeves.

    I think she is wearing low heels so that she doesn’t suddenly tower above Amitabh Bachchan! The girl is tall!!

  21. there is a difference between fashionista and fashion victim -this reminds me of the time when sarah jessica parker used to wear all those crazy emsembles as part of her character in Sex and The City and every sane woman lost her marbles for a second because it as ‘carrie’ and it was ‘sex and the city’ – and went ga ga over her ‘look’ and her ‘fashion-forard-vision’… right? – big fat wrong. Sonam is a pretty girl – beautiful even – however she is just not working this look – some thing’s were awful the first time around and no better in 2008

  22. The dress looks great on the runway but not on Sonam. It is just more of a runway and editorial look. The outfit looks to desperate and wannabe on Sonam even though she does a good job of carrying it off. Every time I see Sonam she’s wearing a look right off the runway. Just cuz she wears new runway designs doesn’t mean she has inherent style, just too lazy or uncreative to wear something she can find herself. On the dress, The skirt thing pulled up from the front looks horrible and then the different colored back, web sleeves, and split designed top just makes the dress look too complicated. There is just too much going on in the dress maybe 1 or 2 of the designs would have looked good but not everything, atleast not off the runway.

  23. This is a a bit to editorial to me (even me), but she somehow manages to make it not look like a fiasco. It’s the attitude, I think. I personally don’t like her much as a person, but I admire her ability to take risks and be confident while doing it. I LOVE risks. 🙂

  24. Who said Sonam can even carry a paper bag? Only Sonam fans would say that. It can hold true for a beautyf like Ash but Sonam?! Ha Ha. Sonam is just an ordinary looking actress. She has made lots of fashion blunders including this one. This makes her looks old.

  25. I love it! Maybe if it was someone else, I wouldn’t have. But she works it perfectly. I have seen other pics of her in that dress and I like it on her. Even if the dress is extremely weird; she carries it off well!
