Sobhita was seen in a pale pink sari from Manish Malhotra. Between that heavily embellished full-sleeved blouse and that blingy fringe bad, I was just not liking this sari one bit. Did you?

At the aashirwad event on Saturday, Aishwarya was seen in a colorful floor-length kurta and dupatta set from Manish Malhotra. What let her down here is that hairdo. The hair over the ears just was such a dated style.
Also, I thought this was an Abu Sandeep but it ain’t. But, you can’t blame me for it. This style is so AJSK. 😛

Ranbir and Alia attended the wedding with Ranbir in a Manish Malhotra bandhgala kurta. Alia as an ode to the hosts wore a 160 year old Ashavali sari (a brocade weave from Ahmedabad) collected by Manish Malhotra, who then added his signature sequin border to the sari.
That sari was absolutely beautiful. I just didn’t think the beaded strapless blouse and the jewels here worked with it. Especially that maang tikka. It bordered on playing dress-up and looked costumey.

Sidharth and Kiara were back in town just in time for the wedding where the former was seen in a white bandhgala set from Manish Malhotra and the latter, in a red and purple lehenga from Torani. Loved the lehenga.
Those wide legged pants on Sidharth were a disservice. The kurta would’ve looked so much better with slim-fitted pants

At the Merchant-Ambani wedding (lagna vidhi), Aishwarya was seen in a red floor-length Manish Malhotra kurta set made from Benarasi weave fabric. I will admit, the color was striking but both the heavy necklace and maang tikka felt overkill.
Now, lets talk about the kurta itself. That modesty patch which seems like an after-thought was already bad enough but to have the patch itself have a seam running down that didn’t align with the main kurta line was just terrible! Given how many folks the label and the designer had to dress for this wedding, I’ll give this one a pass but it hadn’t gone unnoticed.
