Little did we know when we first featured Freida (see here) that this young model was going to take all the red carpets by storm. OK, so we kind of had predicted it but who knew it would come true!

Coming back to the topic, turns out that the dress Ms. Pinto wore for her very first major public appearance was a Chanel and was recently seen on Nina Lucas (sister of Isabel Lucas) at the Chanel Haute Couture show. I loved it then on her and still do. Wonder if George was her stylist back then too?

If you feel like reminiscing about Freida, go here.

Don’t care for the design much but we’ll have to give props to Neeta for wearing her own creation. Whether she wore it well though is a whole different story. If you ask us, this tunic/dress would have looked so much better with tights and sandals. Those pants and pointed boots are awful!

Catch more pictures from the event at ‘The Gallery’.

Doing Casual

Unlike Queenie, Kahkashan covered up her see-through top with a blazer and thankfully saved herself from being a WTHeyyy! I guess she was going for an ultra-casual blazer look (a la Sophie below) and hence the pulled-sleeves, but her blazer was a wee-bit too short and too formal for it.

Rosettes. Rosettes. Rosettes.

You know by now we are pretty iffy on rosettes and so of course, we are pretty iffy on these outfits spotted on Ms. Depala.

I can see how the pants or the vest might work editorially but they do nothing for us off the runway! Having said that though, we’ve still got to give props to Ayesha for making those pants and the vest (good lord, especially those pants) look understated (well, as understated as a pair of pants with rosettes and studs can look); on anyone else it would’ve been one major cringe-fest!

Who are we kidding, the pants do make us cringe! 🙂

Kangana’s Denim Leggings: Chic Or Eeeek!

Denim leggings can be a great alternative to those who just can’t or don’t want to squeeze themselves into skinny jeans. But, having said that, can’t say we like Kangana’s pair or how she wore it. Her look for us is bordering more on the ‘eeeks’ side than ‘chic’.

How does it fare for you?

Check out more pics of her at The Gallery and if you want snag a pair, we found a couple of options that you can find inside.
