In Asmita Marwa
55
Ms. Balan served as Grand Marshall at the India Day parade in Manhattan and for the appearance wore an Asmita Marwa kalamkari lehenga that was quite a welcome change. Also a welcome change, the hair do. From what we see, we really like.
P.S. Catch her in a Shruti Sancheti inside.

She looks absolutely lovely.
Why din’t Ms.Balan dress like this in Cannes!!!!!! This is such a relaxed, breezy look as opposed to the extremely contrived, stiff, overly made up (Dupatta on the head) look we were forced to see in Cannes…. but none the less… she looks gorgeous here!!
You nailed it!
Nice change. Anything but Sabya. She looks nice.
Absolutely gorgeous!! Hope to see many more such appearances from Vidya.
Has she gone off Sabya after the Cannes overkill? Looking good in the first look!
She looks drop dead gorgeous in that Lehenga-sari! Hats off to Jayati Bose(her stylist) for finally giving her clothes that enhance her curves! 😀
she looks beautiful in the lehenga… love the hair!
Love the hair dos! The outfits, not so much! Bleh!
Where was THIS VB hiding all this time? She looks fab! Unusual color combo for lehenga! Love it! 🙂
OMG I love & adore this change..
The lehenga isn’t great, but she looks beautiful. Love the earrings.
The 2nd look is just meh.
wow, this hair do takes away so many years… so young and lovely she looks
such a pretty lady she is!! O.o
A biggggg thank you Ms. balan for giving sabya and the most predictable looks a break…points for changing the hair also…after zillions year she got the hair make up jewellery right…what amazes me even more is her opting not only different desginer but also “Kalamkari” .Love the fact.
in her second look the pattern is same as that of minisha’s recent look but the length kiileed it for minisha and this look shows how can proper alterations change things…BUT what is that thing hanging at the front??
She looks super in the anarkali.
She looks lovely!! I think she is taking a leaf out of Madhuri Dixit’s style though..
She looks so refreshingly different even though she has opted for Indian yet again. Nice change up!
Love it..So refreshing to see this chance..Minor gripe would be the length of the lehenga, seems like it’s dragging on the floor..maybe higher heels? Overall, she looked Gooood!
Finally she looks her age! 😀 Love the lehenga-sari, the hair and that gorgeous face. She looks so happy 🙂
Oh !! why didn’t she go to Cannes like this 🙂
+1 even I was thinking the same Hz gorgeous and refreshing she looks So pretty n feminine
She looks gorgeous in the lehenga. Love that she’s going with a greater variety of designers these days.
Wow, welcome change it is, she looks lovely!
Hairdo is very mature on her but the outfit is lovely, even if the dupatta is a dull colour…the bottom oufit looks great.
Stunnnnnning!!! Mad love for the hairdo. This woman can do no wrong, in my opinion.
Shes lookin beautiful… that lehenga is nice… and hairstyle is refreshing… like it.
The right term would be pavada dhavni. That is NOT a lehenga. She looks much better from her same old sarees but somehow the pavda dhavani does not suit her. It’s like she is trying too hard. Plus she decided to sweep all the garbage off the floor with her flowing pavada i guess. The one in the anarkali is a WTHey, it’s like those dark days of VidyaB from pre Sabya days. Ha ha!
major wow moment – that lehenga…even though the lehenga itself isn’t that great. the way she carries and the duppata on her is gorgeous
and my oh my…i want those earrings
Love her first appearance in the Asmita Marwah lehenga. The hair is perfect and such a welcome change. Where was this at Cannes?
LOVE her in both looks and am so glad she’s moving out of wearing Sabyasachi sarees 24/7 and experimenting with other looks while still staying true to her style! Great make-up and accessories too!
Her stylist needs to stop giving her aunty clothes!
Ha ha. I think she likes to be dressed like that.
Vidya looks like Waheeda Rehman in the second pic.
Where are the ear rings from?
oh my God – she looks supremely graceful !
Vidya looks lovely!! The hair and makeup are flawless.
Isn’t the lehenga a bit too long?
Excatly my thought about lehenga being too long and was trolling the comments to see if anyone had posted that!!
🙂 this is why we wine and dine – see you at the Mill!
+1 🙂
Love!
One word GORGEOUS!!!…. perfect hair and make..
makeup*… 🙂
She is too grown up for this outfit. She is pretty neck up
Love her hair and make up. The lehenga is wonderful however the dupatta or pallu is very dull. Esp for such an occasion! She needs to pop amongst all those people!
She looks like a dream! I can’t stop staring at her..
Awwww so pretty!! She looks like a younger Sharmila Tagore to me for some reason in pic 2. Can we all say yayyy, finally, Ms Balan has found her sweet spot in traditional clothes!! The bottom picture though, that dress is unflattering, and a look Ms Balan has done many times before.
The right term would be a pavada dhavni (Half saree) and NOT a lehenga. She looks much better from her same old boring saree looks but somehow the pavda dhavani does not suit her. It’s like she is trying too hard. The one in the anarkali is a WTHey, it’s like those dark days of VidyaB from pre-Sabya days. Ha ha
Oops. I thought the garbage addition in my earlier comment warranted a moderation and commented again with an edited version. lol.
Wow ! She looks gorgeous and a lot younger. Not a great outfit but she makes it work and how!
styled by jayati bose….
Don’t care for the bottom half of her saree, but she looks beautiful in it. So pretty.
She looks lovely for a change!!!
Love her in the parade outfit. Such a nice change from sabya! Elegant, pretty without being overwhelming
i think vidya looks lovely in red
I like both the looks. The 1st one esp.
