She walked the runway for Manish Malhotra, so it only seems obvious that Aishwarya would be the first to sport a couture piece from the designer’s recent collection. And, it wasn’t just one Manish Malhotra for her at Zee TV’s Action Replay Diwali show. She was spotted wearing a more toned down (and we mean relatively) blue anarkali, also by the designer.

The lehenga wasn’t so bad until you reach the hemline. The tiered effect with the purple and the velvet look anything but rich. Which look do you prefer?

Being Human: Through The Decades

For Salman’s charity, ‘Being Human’, the celebrities were out in droves showing their support both on and off the runway.

Each actress walked the runway representing one particular decade, starting right from the Twenties. And speaking of Twenties, it was Preity Zinta who walked in a look from her movie Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. Following which, Katrina did the Thirties in a Gauri and Nainika dress and Rani Mukherjee the Forties in a Manish Malhotra lehenga.

Bipasha walked in a Sunaina Puri dress representing the Fifties and Karisma did the Sixties in a Manish Malhotra sari. Anyone else have a Zubeida flashback looking at Ms. Kapoor? 🙂 Sushmita did the flamboyant Seventies in Raakesh Agarvwal and the Eighties were all Priyanka’s channeling Madonna in a Sunaina Puri design. And finally, it was Kareena Kapoor for the Nineties who walked in Varun Bahl and mapxencaRS to INXS‘s Need You Tonight complete with a hat and whip..

Whew!

She has walked the runway in the past when endorsing brands, but today was the first time after eons that Aishwarya walked one for a designer. The lucky designer, (you guessed it), Manish Malhotra.

Here is a first look but keep coming back for more pics.

Update: As promised, here are more pics of Ash on the runway and while we love the smoky eyes on her, the white lehenga feels such a mismatch with the makeup.

Still enamored by her recent editorial, we were hoping for something fresh and new, but Ms. Bachchan stuck to the tried and tested instead. No prizes for guessing, it was a Manish Malhotra outfit that she wore to the Robot screening in Mumbai. Meh!

LFW Winter/Festive 2010: Manish Malhotra

Let’s hand it to the man, Manish knows just who his audience is and what his audience wants and sees nothing wrong in showing collection after collection of just that. Manish Malhotra has it down to a science, ladies and gentlemen. Besides the expected voluminous anarkalis and sheer saris, there were harem pants, salwar-kameezes and some western silhouettes in various shades of reds and blues mostly, those being the colors of Aircel, the sponsors of the show.

Yes it was repetitive. Some of it very pretty. And before the ink dries (or it’s equivalent in the web world), half of Bollywood would be spotted in it. So to speak.
