Miss Universe Countdown


In just a few hours a new Miss Universe will be crowned and in the running is also Miss India Ekta Chowdhry. While we wish her the best of luck, here is a looksee at some more outfits she wore past two weeks in Nassau, Bahamas. You can catch her National Costume outfit here.

There has been a lot of chatter that she will be wearing a variation of this Gauri Nainika dress seen in a different version on Aishwarya at the Drona premiere. But, from what we know the gown shown in the evening gown competition (in Ekta’s case: the red one below) is almost always the gown the contestants wear to the final event. Guess, we’ll have to wait till the telecast to see what she wears!

P.S. Yes, that is the same Ranna Gill we’ve seen before on the designer Ranna and also in a blue version on Sonali.

Universe-al Appeal?


The National Costume round of the 2009 Miss Universe contest saw Miss India wear a Ritu Kumar lehenga. While, we loved the black skirt of the outfit, hated the cutout sleeves.

Whether the outfit appealed to the judges, we won’t find out until the 23rd, but what say you?

Update: You are right ‘Nitu’, Simran also wore the same design last year and hated it then too! (see here )
