Lakshmi wore a cobalt blue one-shouldered Gauri & Nainika gown on day two with chandelier earrings and a peacock ring from Vasundhara. Sure, this look was tons better than her day one look but as striking as the peacock ring was, it seemed too traditional for the gown.

I wish she also hadn’t picked those sequin closed-toe pumps to finish this look out. Why must we add glitter to every aspect of an accessory? Minus the jewellery and pumps, she looked so nice!

It was an Archana Rao Label suit for Lakshmi while at recent Awards weekend festivities. Wearing her hair back in a ponytail, the actor finished out the look with nude-ish make-up and dove-grey pumps. Between the train, the lace slip and pearl encrusted brooch, there was one element too many. And the stark make-up only made it all the more prominent. The look sure came close but wasn’t quite it!

Of Separates

Lakshmi opted for separates at the TV9 Awards wearing a Koëcsh cape with a Shantanu & Nikhil bodysuit and high-waisted pants by 431-88. This look would’ve worked better if she’d gone for a black bodysuit and let the fringe cape be the highlight. Between the cape and the paisley pattern of the bodysuit, the top half felt much too busy.

In Shantanu & Nikhil

At the Filmfare South Awards, Lakshmi opted for a Shantanu & Nikhil wearing the draped gown with emerald and gold drop earrings and ring. Unfortunately, this look needed a lot more color than those earrings could provide. A pair of ruby drop earrings or a berry lip would’ve made the look stand out more. And, of course, a different pair of footwear.

We had two sightings of Ms. Manchu recently in looks as different as night and day.

For a press meet, she paired her Chirag Nainani tunic with black leggings. Aside from silver bangles, white accessories that included a brooch, bow belt and sandals finished out her look. And at a more recent event, Lakshmi was spotted wearing denims and a white top. Gold-tone loafers, bangle and a pink turban finished out her look.

Now on to the nitty and the gritty. While the tunic-and-leggings look could’ve used tweaking (we weren’t big on the manner in which it was styled), between the two it was hands-down the better appearance. With the latter, don’t even know where to begin! Those denims just need to go away! Between those denims, the gold loafers and the turban, there was just way too much going on. And none of it came together well. The turban especially didn’t belong.

We love a good turban moment but, this just wasn’t it. Perhaps next time Ms. Manchu can seek inspiration from either Kalki or Jacqueline? Here’s hoping the lovely Ms. Machu pulls out the stops with her next appearance.
