Wearing a look from Frou Frou by Archana Rao’s A/W 2014 collection, Lakshmi attended the music launch of Geethanjali today in Hyderabad. Now, it was nice to see Ms. Manchu try an offbeat sari but this look doesn’t quite work.

The jacket with its puffy shoulders just didn’t sit right on Lakshmi. If it were more fitted like on the model, we might be singing a different tune, but as is, we weren’t fans. Are you?

The first look of Vikramasimha, Kochadaiyaan’s Telugu version, was unveiled in Hyderabad and in attendance was Lakshmi Manchu wearing a red Shantanu and Nikhil gown.

Even though the jewellery didn’t quite fit the design aesthetic of the gown, between the earrings and the bracelet, we would have gone with just one.

Having said that though, this was one of the better looks we’ve seen from Ms. Manchu in quite a while.

At a recent launch event, Lakshmi was spotted in a purple Gaurav Gupta sari gown. Except for the color, I wasn’t feeling the gown especially the pleated bust. But, she could’ve pulled it if she’d just skipped on that necklace that was quite unnecessary and opted for a subtle watch instead of the one she had one. That watch is seriously blinding my eyes, it sparkles so much.

For the Big Telugu Entertainment Awards, it was a Masaba sari for Ms. Manchu, one that she wore well (minus her choice of earrings). You like?

Two back to back events saw Ms. Manchu do Amit Aggarwal‘s draped sari gowns both featuring leather cord detailing on the blouse and the silver one even on the belt.

Of the two, loved the former look. The hair, the make-up, just everything was perfect. (Well, we can’t see the shoes, but I guess that’s a good thing). The silver sari didn’t seem to fit well at the bust but that wasn’t the only issue. The bangles work but going with a silver clutch and shoes was just going overboard.

Which look are you liking?
