Expression on seeing Ms. Kapoor's latest appearance at the Great Indian Wedding Carnival - YAWN.




More Orange ? Fergie.

Fergie wore a citrus - hued dress from Diane von Furstenberg Bec dress from the Resort line and I loved it!


She looked stunning in the color, which she paired with platform sandals from her line (didn't know she had a shoes line!) and a cuff.




Simply Fugly ! Kristin Davis.

Kristin Davis has a very clear comfort zone when it comes to the Silhouettes of the dresses she wear on the red carpet, which works really well on her.

However, this appearance of her leaves a lot to be desired - she is wearing a Prada print dress from their resort line - it makes her look boring. The only way to make this look work is to add fun accessories since it has such fun prints.

 I'm thinking Orange or Blue heels/ chunky vibrant bangles/ side swept hair ...

On Kristin, the dress lacks the punch and that’s a shame.




Wearing Neutrals. Brittany Snow & Rose Bryne.

Brittany and Rose attended their events in identical hues and worked their looks.

Looking chic in Alice + Olivia nude sheath with patched silver sequin work was Brittany, who paired her dress with nude pumps.

Rose was head to toe in Calvin Klein, the minimalistic pleated lines suited her sleek hair do. I wish she had changed up the make up and the black accessories a bit though.





Show Stopper - Sharmila Tagore.

Sharmila Tagore walked the runway at one of the fashion shows at the ongoing Fashion Week.

I'm digging the traditional prints on the sari and the cap sleeves. The design of the blouse is very reminiscent of her times, although the drape could have been much better.




Dressed up, Dreesed down. Kylie Minogue.

In two of her recent appearances, Kylie had two different look, glam turned up and glam turned down.

First up, she rocked an Emilio Pucci dress from the Spring Summer collection (a blue version was worn by Julia Roitfeld at the NY Fashion Week - see here) and paired the dress with blush tone pumps. I wish she had done something more dramatic with her hair - but loved the dress on her.




The second look was relatively casual, but this was my favourite look, loved the Blue trench dress, white wedges and red lips. Both dress and heels are from YSL.

Doing Traditional - Sushmita Sen & Shamita Shetty.

Both Sushmita and Shamita made appearances in traditional suits at their recent events.

Sushmita wore a Red Velvet and lace Anarkali while Shamita went with a more subtle color choice with rich embroidery. From an aesthetic point of view, I think its Shamita who made the cut for me, thanks to her tasteful choice of color and detailing.

When it came to Sushmita, the material and the color was a bit jarring for me, but she looks great neck up.

Do you have a favourite?
