At recent events related to her upcoming movie Ribbon, Kalki was seen in a floral print Sabyasachi shirt with denims and a blue dress from Vedika M.
Between the two, much preferred her in the denims. Even though it felt a bit dated, preferred the simplicity of it.

Wearing an embroidered sheer sari by Sabyasachi with earrings from the designer’s newly launched jewellery line, Deepika attended the Marathi Filmfare Awards on Friday evening in Mumbai.
Thankfully, there was no make-up issues here. She looked gorgeous.
On an aside, I really wish she’d saved this sari for a Cannes red carpet appearance. That extended pallu totally deserved it and would’ve really had a moment at an event like that.

Sonali and Vanessa (producer Bunty Walia’s wife) were spotted at Shilpa’s Diwali party wearing the same Sabyasachi sharara but just a wee bit differently. While Sonali wore hers unbuttoned around the neck to highlight her navratna choker, Vanessa chose to keep it buttoned and pair it with diamond earrings.
Whose look did you like better? Wonder if we’re going to see them have a laugh about this on their social media.

Aishwarya was one of the many celebrities attending the Indian film Festival of Melbourne this past weekend. Ms. Rai first met up with an MP wearing a black Sabyasachi anarkali and then later changed to a velvet navy one (by Rohit Bal? ) for the Awards Ceremony.
A flag-hoisting ceremony the next day saw her in a custom Manish Malhotra anarkali. Of all the three, while this outfit was the most glittery, it was the one we liked best. Wearing the hair up had a lot to do with it.
We don’t have better pics yet but from what you see, which one was your favorite?

FDCI’s India Couture Week 2017 recently wrapped up in New Delhi and that means we got a good look at the upcoming bridal trends! 😉
Celebrating its 10th edition this year, the event was everything that you would expect. Larger than life sets; sequins and shimmer; swanky venue; weighty FROW; Bollywood show stoppers; Rohit Bal’s signature floor grazers, each more voluminous than the previous and a glittery Manish Malhotra finale starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh.
Seven days, 14 designers and at least 500 looks. Read on to find out why Manav Gangwani and Rina Dhaka stole the show. Just kidding! Here are some highlights of the week that was.
THE DEPARTURE OF THE CHOLI
I was not kidding about the bridal trends and if there is one trend that is clearer now than ever, it’s that the lehnga-choli can be well on its way to an extinct combination. Worn with lehngas and saris, these new age capes, cold-shoulder blouses and trapeze tops are so forgiving. Breathe (or eat) easy, would-be brides!
ANAMIKA KHANNA’S HAPPILY EVER AFTER
Anamika Khanna opened this year’s event with an installation titled Happily Ever After at The Kila in Seven Style Mile. Segmented into Welcome Lunch, Mehndi, Cocktails and Wedding, the collection amalgamated traditional Indian techniques with a modern Indian vibe, with twist and turns that Anamika is known to pull off. Pretty pastels to fiery reds, intricate embroidery and heirloom Benarasi textile interplayed with her spectacular silhouettes… I can go on and on. In short, everything made it to my lust list.
THE SARI STORY
It’s not couture week, if you don’t spend time obsessing over saris. It wasn’t tough to narrow down my list. I love the maximalist-minimalist vibe of Rahul Mishra’s Parsi gara embroidered, organza scallop sari and I know Monisha Jaising’s sari-inspired gown will be seen on these pages soon. Gaurav Gupta’s pre-draped sexy Grecian sari was showcased in a lovely new mauve and Sabyasachi turned to his quintessential red matka. (Though he skipped India Couture Week for an Instagram reveal, you can’t ignore Sabya when talking about the sari.)
SHWETA BACHCHAN IN THAT WHITE SHIRT
Okay, can we take another moment and talk about Shweta Bachchan in that white shirt? Paired with a Manish Malhotra skirt and accessorized with a gripoix buckled Chanel belt, she worked that look. I know some of you liked it and some didn’t, personally I thought that white shirt made for quite a fashion moment and I will be taking mine out soon!
