Its a shame we still can’t find a full picture of Sonam to fully enjoy this one-shouldered Chanel on her. She paired the white gown with a black Bottega Veneta stretch knot clutch.

We loved the jewels in the hair and the black nails!

Update: So a lot of you have been asking about Sonam’s interview with Midday where she mentions about being the first person from Bollywood to be dressed by Chanel. Technically, she is right because this is the first time that Chanel sent designs to a person in the industry. Others who we’ve seen wear Chanel (Preity, Kahkashan….) weren’t approached as such by the design house and if you are wondering about Freida then you have to consider the fact that Freida has a stylist who knows a lot of designers personally and Sonam doesn’t have one.

Another Update: To clarify, what Sonam meant is that she was the first that Chanel sent designs to and not that she is the first to be dressed in Chanel. Hopefully that clarifies some of the doubts in everyones minds! 😉

Speaking of plastic, here is another Chanel, this time on Genelia in the February edition of Elle India.

Of course, this one fares so much better thanks to the lack of the floral work.

You can read an excerpt of her interview here.

Here’s a quick look at some trends that popped while looking at various designers’ Resort 2009 collections…

L To R: Akris, Gucci, Rachel Roy, Zac Posen

Masculine suits with a feminine twist were a predominant look… And if thats a bit much, you don’t have to do the whole suit, borrow your man’s shirt, throw on a funky belt and voila you have your own look you can own and flaunt!!

L To R: Malandrino, Yigal Azrouel, Dior, Givenchy

Jewel tones are going to be big… amethyst, sapphire, emerald, amber, coral… and who doesn’t love a bit of color?

L To R: DVF, Gucci, Matthew Williamson, Ralph Lauren

The maxi dresses aren’t going anywhere either, except they are back with a higher ‘hippie-bohemian-gypsy’ chic quotient!

L To R: Badgley Mischka, Chado Ralph Rucci, Naeem Khan, Oscar De La Renta

And who doesn’t love a great kaftan? Reminds me of old Hollywood glam, of black and white movies, a stiff martini, a dashing leading man, wiity conversation laced with a million words a minute and in the middle of it all, a beautiful woman in her kaftan… Sigh.
