In Giambattista Valli Couture - Jessica Biel.

 At the Fashion Group International event, Jessica Biel walked the red carpet and almost owned it in a regal Giambattista Valli Couture gown.

The pale gown with a keyhole neck detail and voluminous ruffles details on the shoulder could have drowned a lesser person, but Jessica worked it, and wore it in paparazzi worthy way.

I said almost, for two reasons - one, the make up looked a bit shiny and second - the belt should have sat tighter. Both of them take nothing away from how regal the actress looked.


Kareena & Shahana at Ra. One Premiere - London.


I did a double take when I saw pics of Kareena at the UK premiere of Ra. One. No Manish Malhotra sari and no straight locks?

Kareena wore a head to toe sequinned strapless Dolce & Gabbana gown and styled her hair in a sleek, pulled back ponytail. While full pointers for the hair and make up, sadly, the gown itself fails to excite.

The unflattering bow in the middle is drawing attention to what isn't working for Kareena for this look, which she should have opted for a gown that’s one size bigger.

Shahana, who made a stellar start in Dubai, faltered a bit with her out of place accessory, but kudos for the hair and make up.



One girl, two looks. Kate Bosworth.


As a celeb fashion blogger, nothing brings more joy than seeing a celeb that can change it up so often and so well that, one need a sec to catch the breath.

Last week, I complained how long has it been since we saw Kate Bosworth on the RC, this week, she came back with two sightings that were bang on the money and are we loving it!

First up, she attended the Burburry event dressed in a multi printed dress with belted waist.

I love what the dress and the belt doing to her body, and that the busy print is well paired with black sandals and two tone clutch.

Attending the Chanel do, Kate changed it up completely, gone were the tousled locks, replacing it with a sleek, pulled back knot, collard blouse, fitted skirt and chain detailed booties.

The all black Chanel ensemble is stand - out thanks to the styling and the signature Chanel trimmings.






Kareena & Shahana at Ra. One Premiere - Dubai.

At their movie première in Dubai, it was an interesting style dynamics at display with the leading ladies, Kareena Kapoor and Shahana Goswami.

I do not have full length pictures of Kareena, neither do I need one to see how she fared. It’s the same ole - embellished chiffon with a bikini blouse - Manish Malhotra creation, in yet another color combination. Officially, I'm declaring that for formal events, Ms.Kapoor is stuck in a MM fashion rut.

Shahana on the other hand, played the première as how it should be played, the embellished multicolored Sanchita dress with one shoulder drape suited her and she wore it well. I'm guessing that she wanted to play up the dress, hence kept the accessories to basic.



In Christion Dior . Marion Cotillard.

It’s a shame that, one has to wait for a new movie release or a Film festivals to see some of our fav celebs.

One I would like to see more often on the red carpet is the gorgeous Marion Cotillard, whose personal style I'm still trying to fathom since we get to see her so less.

At the recent movie promotional event, Marion was dressed in a structured Christian Dior Resort 2012 dress, which she paired with dark pink heels with metal straps. A bit more edginess is called for, perhaps?

Fab Sari Style - Nandita Mehtani.


One to usually wear solids and clean looks; it was good to see Nandita in a dark pink embellished sari at Jeetendra's Diwali Bash.


Liked that she kept accessorising minimal.

Wearing the man Trend! Penelope Cruz.

Hopping on to the bandwagon of celebs that have been sporting the androgynous look was Penelope Cruz, who was unapologetically channelling man trend.

Unapologetic because, it’s usual for celebs to add a feminine piece, in this case though, save for the carefully dishevelled hair, the actress is suited up to T and working it! Love how the Dolce & Gabbana suit fits her.
