In Payal Singhal
Wearing Payal Singhal, Vidya Balan took on the latest round of promotions for her upcoming movie. It has been interesting to see her branch out to dresses and while some have been more successful than others, it sure makes for a change from all the Sabya saris.
As for this look itself, it strictly is okay. We don’t hate it, don’t love it and strongly believe there’s that perfect ten moment waiting to happen but this wasn’t it just yet.

I for one.. really loved her in the sabya sari’s.. her Cannes stint wasn’t that great.. but in general she always looked so superb in her sabyas.. plus she made us envious of all that sabya in her closet. So I really don’t like any of her looks lately.
I don’t like it at all. There are too many layers and bold prints which looks overwhelming on Vidya.
I feel someone like Vidya who is voluptuous shouldn’t wear dresses with too many layers and bold prints. It just makes her look disproportionate. I am not a fan of too many clashing prints in a dress and this is just that.
She should have tried a top notch with this …would have really looked great . And different .
yep! A top knot would be top notch!
Somewhere, there is a kid in dressmaking 101 looking for their first attempt.
Too many things going on at once. I’m not sure who to “blame” – Vidya or the designer? I tried imagining Deepika or Sonam in the same outfit… I don’t see how anyone would ever be able to pull this off. I love Vidya but I genuinely miss seeing her in a saree as of late.
I think this is a partial success. The proportions are not bad, the skirt looks good. The top is a little iffy. I would give it an 8.
She has that awkward Vidya smile that she had in her Kismat Konnection days. Like she knows she doesn’t look good. Why the huge prints? That make her look even bigger than she is.
I am a firm believer that bigger women must wear small prints/monochromes.
I kinda like this look. It makes her look slimmer, and i think she looks radiant. If other actresses are allowed to experiment then why not her?
Total fail.
I want to see her in a solid color shift dress with heels. Something simple and elegant. This outfit is too busy for her short height.
Hate hate the dress…… Too many layers…. Cuts the body disproportionately…. Just badddd design…
Hi P&P,
You know what would be kind of cool for us readers? If you guys would maybe feature some casual celebrity styles as well. I kind of enjoy seeing what Bollywood starlets wear on an ‘off day’ moreso than at major events. I think it’s because it’s more relatable and accessible to all of us in the sense we can actually emulate those casual styles much easier in our own lives. Just a thought.. 🙂
Didn’t huma wear the same top recently…??
There are some who can never wear prints/silhouettes that suits their body type and Vidya B has always been a fore runner in that. The only difference between her horrid styling pre sabya days and now is that P&P feels the need to give her a fress pass which was uncommon 5 years back. hah!
I love her hair!
