Before attending the FICCI Frames 2010 Awards in a Sabyasachi sari, Vidya Balan attended an anti-piracy campaign initiated at the seminar in a Sabyasachi anarkali. While she looked lovely in both outfits, I am drawn more towards the anarkali just because it was something different than what she has donned in the recent past.

Which look do you prefer?

It was no surprise to have spotted Ms. Balan at the Sabyasachi show… We were told that Rani was slated to attend as well but she couldn’t make it having been caught up with her shooting schedule in Delhi.

During the post-show conference, found out that Vidya was wearing a cotton handloom sari from Bengal which she accessorized with some silver jewelry and an LV clutch…

Check out the video for Sabya’s take on Vidya…

Perhaps to wipe from everyone’s mind, this orange look, Ms. Balan chose to don another orange one and can’t say we have too many complains. Love the no-bling/just-rudraksha beads look. And while we heart the sari, do think Ms. Balan would have been perfect if she had worn the sari just one inch higher.

Overall, we still love it!

Update: Just as we were going oooh about the look, we got this full-length and it makes us go aaargh! Vidya kills us with that pallu fold! It reveals the sari folds too much.

Twice The Not Quite

Let’s start with all things good shall we… props to Vidya for mixing her saris up… we’ve seen her do tussars, raw silk, cotton, kanjivarams and now, a chanderi. And even though the blouses stay the same and she mostly favors plain saris with borders, she at least attempts the sari in all (or some depending on who you talking to) of it’s glory. And she also gets props for taking a break from the sari to don a churidaar recently.

But.

And there’s a but…! Something about the look in the sari is off. I loved the Sabyasachi chanderi sari but the gold blouse just doesn’t work with the sari. As for the churidaar, why that shade of yellow? She seems so washed out. The suit itself is nothing to write home about (the pink and yellow is cringe-worthy, as are the sandals) but guess she at least changed it up a bit.

In a jacket by Vivek Karunakaran for Viaa and a Tarun Tahiliani shirt, Vidya on the Feb cover is a far cry from the one we see in real life and I’ve got to say I love! You?
