Wearing a signature Falguni Shane Peacock feather-trimmed sari, Madhuri filmed an episode of her television show. She looked good, though the sari by itself isn’t quite our cup of tea!

Janhvi picked a custom Falguni Shane Peacock gown for her appearance at a recent Awards event. I want to like this look, but it was hard to.
The contrast between the warm-toned chunky sandals and the cooler tone of the dress didn’t quite work. The matching embellished gloves instead of adding an edge or novelty to the look, only made it look very dated… The color had a big role to play in it! In the end, it looked like Janhvi was cosplaying Ariel (The Little Mermaid) and didn’t do a very good job of it.

Nora did what Nora does best- giving us serious glam when taping her television show! Between that Falguni Shane Peacock sari/lehenga and the Naeem Khan gown, I have to vote for the latter; she smouldered in red.

After sporting two Falguni and Shane Peacock gowns on the sets of her television show, Nora picked a Faraz Manan number for the press conference.
Does she wear these gowns well? Yes. Has her ‘all-glam, all-the-time’ brand of television styling become a snooze-fest? Also yes.

Having sifted through the usual winter party cocktail mix of faux fur, sequins, leather and big earrings, here are five new looks/trends that stood out from the recently concluded Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017.

Volume With A Side Of More Volume
Cocktail dresses are fine, but something has to be said to said about a woman in high waist graphic pants and a high shine metallic blouse. 431-88 sent out their ‘Studio 5’4 top tucked into a 70s style pant. The tuck in did the trick. And here I have spent so many days trying to ‘balance’ a voluminous bottom with a fitted top.
The Sculpted Sari
A contemporary style story set in a vintage backdrop, Amit Aggarwal is one of the most lusted labels on these pages. This season, we can’t stop staring at his saris. His signature moulding and cording, architectural/industrial vibe, high sheen and structure in his fortified weaves, now to wait and watch when those saris and bodices make an appearance on the red carpet.
Sheer Bomber + Dress
At a time when your fashion maverick-ness is gauged by the art of layering, and a statement dress just isn’t enough, I am totally stealing Falguni & Shane Peacock’s sheer bomber + dress idea. I may have to replace the sequin on the dress with something less sparkly like a stripe but am definitely prioritizing the hunt for a sheer bomber. This is just the perfect antidote to the times I refused to ‘cover’ the dress with a jacket, and a stole just didn’t make the cut. (TBH I did go through a phase when I thought draping a shawl over dress was genius styling. Feel free to judge me, I am too!)

The Big Mix
Every few months I resolve to be that fashion forward person who effortlessly mixes textures and clashes prints. Then, I just go back to wearing blue jeans with anything and everything. I envy the ease with which Gen Next designers Saaksha & Kinni mixed a sequin spangled skirt with stripes and floral.
Tug Of Tassel
Favored by everyone alike, from emerging labels like Monika Nidhii (in picture) and doyens like Manish Malhotra, what’s Winter/Festive without some tassel or fringe-induced drama? PS: Whether or not I get my hands on a fringed skirt or blouse, am definitely not taking off my tassel earrings this entire season!
