Another soiree saw Ms. Chawla in (no points for guessing) Dior, but of course. She edges her shorter version up with a motorcycle jacket and a Dior clutch.

While a lot of you didn’t much care for Natasha’s appearance from last time (Payal included), I actually did. The formal cocktail dress with the crazy heels was a fun twist. To me, the dress would’ve worked equally well for an uptown cocktail affair with a pair of pumps or say on someone like Shruti Hassan while performing with her grunge band… comes down to how it was styled. And I didn’t mind the way Natasha styled it on herself and to me she didn’t look overwhelmed by her outfit at all.
But even I can’t justify this recent look of hers. Spotted in an Oscar de la Renta top (and we think the suit is too), this look was just way too matronly. The overdone gold accessories with the gold suit only reminded us of a wizened old English woman at tea (no offense to English women but you get the drift) or an aggressive cougar and it’d be safe to say, neither was a ‘look’ Natasha was going for.

For it’s year-end issue, Grazia had Jacqueline on it’s cover in a Valentino gown, grey Valentino suede heels and a Dior box clutch.
‘Yellow-and-grey’ is one of our favorite combinations and we love how the yellow (along with grey) stands out against the blue background. Having said that though, we’ve seen far more impactful covers from Grazia before and this doesn’t seem like quite the loudest bang to end the year on. If we were to separate the colors (which we love) from the picture itself, Jacqueline seems rather lost in the overwhelming colors and layout. Agree?

While the Dec cover of Vogue India (featuring Kareena again) looks good in the way Vogue covers have come to be (make what you will of that), we can’t help being irked by the constant appearance of the same dress on multiple people.
P.S. Catch the same Monisha dress on Katrina/Deepika here, a Versace on Kajol/Katrina here and another Dior dress on Shilpa/Twinkle here.

Love this cheery, flirty dress on Ms. Haydon. And how great does the color look on her? Love. Our only minor gripe is that the hair doesn’t mirror the feel of this dress. Where the dress hits a high note, the hair falls flat.
