Bollywood Actresses Who Nailed The Punjabi Kudi Look

By Nidhal

There is something indescribable about an archetypal Punjabi kudi, isn’t it? An aura of cheerfulness, pertness with oodles of vivaciousness and a my-way- or-the- highway attitude that she naturally exudes – Punjabi ladies compel one to take a second, more relaxed look at the firebrand lasses.

With respect to their choices in raiment, they know what they want and make no bones about it and boy, they look drop-dead gorgeous in everything that they swaddle themselves in as if it were tailor- made for them in the first place.

A number of our leading ladies in Tinsel-town have oft essayed Punjabi characters. While some went too loud and embarked on a cheesy treacle, others gripped the audience, critics and fashion connoisseurs effortlessly. Discounting for the ones who took the audience for a ride, here is a precis of those leading Bollywood Actresses Who Nailed The Punjabi Kudi Look.

1. ANUSHKA SHARMA- With a radiant skin, glossy mane, piercing gaze and go-getter persona, Anushka slipped into the role of a typical Punjabi girl from Delhi named Shruti Kakkar in Band Baaja Baaraat opposite then newcomer – Ranveer Singh effortlessly. While the flick was exalted for its fresh script and execution, we cannot get over the burst of vivaciousness Anushka brought to the silver screen with her Punjabi character.

2. KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN- Here comes a Punjabi kudi in real life too. It is trite that expectations hit the ceiling when a real-life Punjabi lass essays a reel-life Punjabi character. Kareena’s portrayal of the loudmouth but lovable Geet in the 2007 rom-com opposite Shahid Kapoor – Jab We Met, won her accolades and appreciation from all corners. Naturally, she looks an archetypal Punjabi lady onscreen convincingly!

3. ALIA BHATT- The young and perky actress swaddled herself in typical bright Punjabi outfits in the rom-com Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania opposite the livewire Varun Dhawan who played the titular role. With oodles of rumbustiousness and boisterousness, she looked adorable onscreen.

4. PREITY ZINTA- With that enviable dimple on her cheek, Preity Zinta slipped into the role of a rustic Punjabi lass effortlessly. Clad in colour co-ordinated Punjabi salwar Kameez, while beaming joyfully she infused a new energy on the 77 mm screen.

5. GENELIA D’SOUZA- The livewire Genelia essayed the character of a Punjabi girl – Mini in Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya opposite her now-hubby Riteish Deshmukh. Donned in typical embellished Punjabi suits and exuding a carefree attitude, Genelia nailed the look.

6. KAJOL- And who can give the powerhouse performer Kajol’s role in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham a miss? Essaying the role of a typical Chandni Chowk motormouth, her portrayal is hard to miss. Chirpy, bubbling with gusto and an out and out live-wire, she hits the bulls-eye with her styling and acting chops.

7. SABA QAMAR – A newbie to B-town, Pakistani actress Saba Qamar’s acting credentials are hard to overlook. So is her cherubic semblance. In the critically and commercially acclaimed Hindi Medium, Saba essayed the role of Mita Batra and carried off the typical Delhi lingo, mannerisms and body language convincingly.

So with that, we wrap up the look-book for the day. Did we miss out on of the leading ladies who, in your view should have made it to our list?

P.S: I do not own the images in this post

Best Off-Screen Looks of Katrina Kaif

By Nidhal

When she gyrates, she holds you transfixed. When she shows off her curves, she holds you transfixed. When she sets her foot on the red carpet, she holds you transfixed. The lady may not rank high on the charts of film connoisseurs and critics but she surely knows how to be the talk of the town thanks to her high-octane dance moves, angelic visage and enviable body/curves. She’s none other than the statuesque Katrina Kaif. Let us have a rundown of her Best Off-screen looks now.

1. IN REBECCA TAYLOR- Bringing a boho vibe to her off-screen avatars, Katrina opted for a printed block print maxi dress by Rebecca Taylor that had sheer mesh inserts as well as cut out sleeves during one of the promotional events of Fitoor opposite Aditya Roy Kapoor. With her luscious locks let loose and nude makeup, she was an out-and- out head-turner at the event.

2. IN DOLCE AND GABBANA- Clad in a lemon print off shoulder dress from Dolce and Gabbana, Katrina set out to promote Fitoor. Accessorising it with embellished beige pumps from Charles and Keith, she added a pair of gold earrings from Loupe Kat looked like a diva. Not to forget red lips complement her look very well.

3. IN BODICE- Giving everyone a peak-a- boo to her chiselled and absolutely enviable abs, Katrina draped herself in polka printed culottes from Bodice by Ruchika Sachdeva. She teamed it up with a white crop top by Dhruv Kapoor and matching sneakers. The look delineates comfort, chicness and ease, doesn’t it? Sassy without even trying, that’s what bursts upon my mind on seeing this look of hers.

4. IN MSGM- Swathed in a knitted bandage dress from MSGM‘s resort 2016 collection paired with Eytys white sneakers styled by Tanya Ghavri, the statuesque lass looked drop-dead gorgeous during one of the promotional events for Fitoor.

5. IN AN AZZEDINE ALAIA DRESS- Clad in a blush pink fit and flare dress by Azzedine Alaia, Katrina was spotted at the Mehboob Studios in Mumbai where she shot for a TV commercial. This lady takes minimalism to a whole new level and makes sure that it looks mesmeric too.

6. IN ROKSANDA- The sultry Katrina Kaif unleashed her chirpy and effervescent facet as she swaddled herself in a Roksanda cutout jumpsuit and black leather sneakers during one of the promotional legs of Baar Baar Dekho in the capital with her co-star Siddharth Malhotra. Simple, subtle and sizzling… this look is the exemplar of comfort.

7. IN JILL STUART- Going all out with bright vivid colours, Katrina looks easy on one’s eyes in a Jill Stuart outfit. Despite sporting colours which when teamed up may look gaudy or garish, the lady sashays in aplomb. A special mention goes to her Isharya earrings that are the perfect cherry on the cake.

Editor’s Note: Loved each of the seven, I can’t pick one! I absolutely love her style, very minimal and effortless.

Bollywood Ladies Who Rock Dungarees

By Nidhal

I remember the last time I wore it or more appositely, was made to wear it was more than a decade ago when I about to enter my teens. That piece of clothing made me look as if I had been wrapped in a sack (of potatoes). In one word- AWKWARD. I vowed never to fall prey to my mother’s persuasion/emotional gas-lighting ever until a few months ago, I saw a number of Tinseltown ladies step out in sheer panache swathed in “those”. And now that I have seen HOW to sport them, my interest in owning a couple of them has increased by leaps and bounds.

Need a clue as to what am I alluding at? Take a look at the title of the post. Got it? Yes, it is the DUNGAREE that has made a comeback into the limelight in an all-new avatar 🙂

Need to see the ladies who changed my perception of them? There you go!

1. KANGANA RANAUT- Do I need to say anything about her fashion and sartorial choices even a little? This lady has changed the rules of fashion and how! Once a plain Jane, now a fashionista who carries anything and everything as if it’s tailor-made for her, Kangana sports a rugged look replete with a pair of beige shoes, cap and a graphic tee that shows off her faded pair of dungaree perfectly. Add to that her inherent swag and we go ‘Banno Tera Swagger Laage Saixy’ all over again!

2. PRACHI DESAI- As cute as a button, Prachi Desai opts for a pair of denim dungarees, sleeveless black top, boots and a funky pair of shades that transmogrifies her into a smoldering diva instantly.

3. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- With her immaculate sartorial choices and toned body, it didn’t come as a surprise that this Desi Girl opted for a full top-to- bottom dungaree that she teamed up with stiletto ballerinas. Needless to say, she looked fresh as a daisy and made sure that both the shutterbugs as well as the fashion police have a whale of their time.

4. YAMI GAUTAM – Yami just brought her girl-next- door to the forefront with this look. Swaddled in a pair of thigh –length dungarees teamed up with a simple black top underneath and Adidas sneakers, this look was simple, youthful and breezy.

5. ALIA BHATT – A personal favourite of mine in this list, Alia delineates vibrancy, chirpiness and pertness like no other. Teaming a pair of denim dungarees with a light pink top and white sneakers with her luscious hair let loose, Alia defined the art of easy and comfortable yet chic dressing. The only flaw? Her expression. Why so serious, Alia? You look winsome 🙂

6. KRITI SANON – This kid on the block is making all the right noises, especially when it comes to her sartorial choices. Opting for a pair of tube dungarees for an event with colour blocked heels, Kriti looked effortlessly funky.

7. KATRINA KAIF – That Katrina doesn’t like to accessorise much is a no-brainer. What we do not know about her is that her dressing can be as easy and comfort-oriented that we can conveniently borrow those tricks from her. Seen here is the lady swathed in a pair of dungarees with a casual tee, sneakers and plaid tee. That’s one look a lot of us including me, can live in forever.

Editor’s Note: My dungaree memory, when I was in school and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai had released, Kajol brought back the dungarees and I owned one then. I used to love it. Love Alia and Katrina’s dungarees here which are more boyfriend style and comfortable.

Do you own/like dungarees? Your favourite look?

7 Times Katrina Kaif Scorched the Screen With Her Abs

7 Times Katrina Kaif Scorched the Screen With Her Abs

By Nidhal

I remember the first time I heard of abs was in 2009.Om Shanti Om starring SRK and Deepika Padukone was about to hit the theatres. Promotions of the flick were inescapable. The star cast was practically everywhere- on each and every TV show, radio show, newspapers and internet. And adding to the hysteria was SRK’s dance number ‘Dard-E- Disco’ which had him flaunt his six-pack abs.

The flick released amidst a lot of fanfare and hue and cry (remember the Manoj Kumar versus Farah/SRK controversy?). The rest is history. We know how it set cash registers ringing at the Box Office. A year or two later, Aamir Khan came with his 8-pack abs in Ghajni and then, lead me into believing that abs are men’s domain.

But one day, Katrina Kaif happened and bwoy, her abs got me smitten the way no male actor’s did 🙂 So, here is to this statuesque lady’s well-toned abs – 7 times Katrina Kaif scorched the screen with her abs.

1. AT THE IPL’S OPENING CEREMONY- The ninth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) kicked off with a star-studded opening ceremony in 2016. With international names such as Chris Brown and Major Lazer performing alongside Bollywood A-listers, all what grabbed the maximum limelight was Katrina’s well-toned abs as she danced energetically. In fact, Ranveer Singh was compelled to mouth,” Give it up for Katrina’s abs”. Well, appositely said, Ranveer.

2. WHEN ON THE RAMP FOR MANISH MALHOTRA’S FASHION SHOW- B-town hot-property Aditya Roy Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were the perfect show stoppers for designer Manish Malhotra, who launched his collection ‘The Regal Threads’ in January. Walking the ramp in a silver Manish Malhotra lehenga, Katrina swept us off our feet with her perfect abs.

3. ON THE COVER OF GQ INDIA- Setting temperatures soaring with her abs making a no-holds barred appearance on the cover of GQ India, Katrina is a sight to behold (and desire)!

4. IN ‘EK THA TIGER’S’ SONG ‘MASHA-ALLAH’- As she swayed to the tunes of ‘Mashallah’ in the Salman Kahn-starrer Ek Tha Tiger in 2013, Katrina’s abs compel you to slobber.

5. IN ‘CHIKNI CHAMELI’- An out-and- out desi item number as it was, Chikni Chameli not only gave us the hook step of the year but also a chance to feast our eyes to this damsel’s chiselled abs.

6. IN ‘TEES MAAR KHAN’- Rome was not built in a day and so can be said about Kat’s abs which here, are in the process of becoming the weapons of mass destruction that they have turned out to be now. Katrina’s abs look sultry in this dance number from Tees Maar Khan.

7. IN ‘KALA CHASHMA’ FROM BAAR BAAR DEKHO- And here comes the song that has given us a full-blown no-holds barred view of this sultry lass’ chiselled abs that have overshadowed everything in the frame point blank. You have to admit it, you got ‘body goals’ after seeing Kat’s abs in the song ‘Kala Chashma’ from Baar Baar Dekho. As far as her co-star is concerned, sorry Siddharth but we didn’t even notice you. Your leading lady and her abs took away all the spotlight and rightly so 🙂

Editor’s Note: Well we all love Katrina’s Killer Abs. She is truly a fitness goal, considering how chubby she was in her earlier movies like ‘Partner’. She has come a long way!

Best Off Screen Looks of Shraddha Kapoor

By Nidhal

Sometimes, miracles happen overnight. It required just one film to catapult Shraddha Kapoor to the status of an overnight sensation. With forgettable box-office duds like ‘Teen Patti’ and ‘Luv Ka The End’ in the past, Aashiqui2 opposite the dashing debonairhunk- Aaditya Roy Kapoor, came as a much-needed kiss of life to Shraddha. A few years down the line and the perky Marathi mulgi (as she considers herself more a Marathi than a Punjabi) is riding hide on the success of a number of her flicks. It’s hard to turn a blind eye to her effervescence, charm, vivaciousness and girl-next- door avatars. Let us feast our eyes to the Best off-screen looks of this pert actress then, shall we? 🙂

1. DURING ABCD2 PROMOTIONS – Tanya Ghavri has styled Shraddha for her ABCD 2 promo tour and looks like she took her task with utmost seriousness. Pairing a Hemant & Nandita creation with Zara flats, Shraddha looked her usual chirpy self. And not to forget her tousled brown locks look drool- worthy.

2. ALL SUITED UP- The ebullient Shraddha Kapoor’s feminine spin on the power suit is simply put-Style goals. The colour with zero accessories and nude makeup makes this look an out-and- out hit.

3. DURING THE HAIDER PROMOTIONS- And here comes the girl who no guy would think twice before popping the question. Carrying this beige look with sheer aplomb, Shraddha rocks in a soft, feminine dress and rounds it off with wavy hair.

4. UNLEASHING THE TOMBOY WITHIN- The livewire Shraddha, for the promotion of ABCD 2 attended an episode of the dance reality show- DID Super Moms with her ABCD2 co-star Varun Dhawan in a Gas grey denims and jacket with a white Zara graphic tee. Opting for a casual look, she completed her look by keeping her hair in a sleek ponytail, bracelets and a pair of gold Adidas sneakers. Talk of going funky and miss out Shraddha? Naah, that is just not happening anytime soon.

5. GOING BOHO CHIC- Going boho chic, Shraddha opts for a causal look in an Urvashi Kaur outfit. She completes it with a pink top and gypsy pants with a statement neckpiece by Blur designs, Gucci sandals and a quirky ombre hairdo. Certainly, my top pick out of all her looks.

6. FOR BAAGHI PROMOTONS- Sparkling in a Prabal Gurung black and blue blocked dress during the promotional tour of Baaghi, Shraddha kept her look minimal. She opted for side swept locks and black ankle strap sandals which rounded off her look.

7. UNLEASHING THE FEMININE SIDE- Swaddled in in DvF and Zara for the promotions of Haider on India’s Raw Star, Shraddha looked effortlessly stylish and chic. Not going overboard in styling is her USP. Have a look at her feline eyes and you’ll be transfixed.

Editor’s Note: All her outfits are so pretty and feminine, can relate to her style. Loved the 1st and 3rd dress.

Best Off-Screen Looks of Kriti Sanon

By Nidhal

Within a span of merely two years, Kriti Sanon has catapulted herself to the status of the ‘Next Big Thing’ in Tinsel-town. A model-turned- actress who ventured into the glamorous and glitzy world of movies, Kriti began her career with modelling initially and then, signed some flicks down South.

Making inroads into Tinsel-town with Heropanti opposite Tiger Shroff and then, starring in the commercial potboiler ‘Dilwale’ with superstars SRK and Kajol, opposite Varun Dhawan, Kriti has her kitty full with many flicks. A towering height with porcelain skin and slender frame, she has all the trappings of a Hindi film heroine. Making her presence felt every now and then thanks to her impeccable fashion sense, let us treat our eyes to the Best Off-screen looks of Kriti Sanon 🙂

1. TRAVELLING IN STYLE- Airports aren’t ramps. So, one does not have to style themselves in an overly dramatic way to create a statement. Comfort should preside over anything here. And who better than Kriti to prove it? Swaddled in a pair of jet black denims with a casual plaid shirt and hair lustrous locks let loose, Kriti gives us major style goals with her sartorial sense.

2. AT THE LAUNCH OF ‘MANMA EMOTION’ SONG- Opting for an H & M shirt, Zara dress, VANS shoes and rings by KOOVS, Kriti dazzled at the song launch of ‘Manma Emotion’ from Dilwale. With minimal makeup and her hair done up neatly, she posed for a pretty picture.

3. DURING HEROPANTI PROMOTIONS- Opting for a bodycon dress from Bebe for the promotion of Heropanti in Chandigarh, Kriti goes simple and looks exquisite. The attire surely complements her slender frame and skin tone.

4. SHOWCASING HER STREET STYLE- Looking chic in a grey tank and ankle-length ripped jeans, Kriti left for Hyderabad to shoot for the final schedule of her then impending movie- Dilwale. She accessorised her look with black sunglasses, white sneakers, tan belt and a shoulder bag.

5. IN ‘NOT SO SERIOUS’ BY PALLAVI MOHAN- Sporting a multi-print dress by Pallavi Mohan for another promotional event of Dilwale, Kriti looked poised and pert. With a pair of metallic oxfords from Aldo and her poker-straight tresses let loose, she completed her look.

6. KEEPING THINGS CASUAL- With a heart patterned sweatshirt from Shahin Mannan that was styled with denims and metallic sneakers, Kriti posed for a picture. Certainly, not going overboard is her mantra and we see her keeping things casual but chic.

7. IN A ‘FALGUNI AND SHANE PEACOCK’ DRESS- Kriti opted for a gorgeous feathery long black dress by Falguni and Shane peacock during one of the promotional events of Dilwale. The accessorised her look with a pair of diamond studs while going minimal in the makeup department.

Editor’s Note: I loved all her casual looks, especially the Pallavi Mohan dress.

Corporate Fashion Inspiration from Bollywood

By Nidhal

Chances are you would have been at your wits end when it comes to zeroing in on the ideal outfit for office at some point of your life. It is not school where everyone has to wear a uniform. It is not college where you have complete volition to try out whatever you’d like to be it- the ethnic kurta, the grungy rock star attire with a bandana or your go-to long skirt teamed with a tank top. Office calls for a change in your wardrobe, doesn’t it? So, why not glance at the best corporate/office looks that Tinsel-town ladies carried in panache and borrow some?

1. KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN- In a film whose immanent theme was role reversal ‘Ki and Ka’, Kareena played Kiya- the head honcho of a multinational company. Swaddled in the most chic and comfortable one-pieces (not gaudy or revealing ones) with cropped blazers that makes the entire looks trendy as well as professional. Kudos! Mrs. Khan.

2. SONAM KAPOOR – The Fashionista of Bollywood- Sonam Kapoor cannot be left behind when it comes to making waves with her effortless fashion style. Seen here is Sonam decked in black and white formals that are teamed with a pair of goggles that give a nerdy and chic look. Her mane let loose might look prepossessing but according to me that is the last thing any lady with a corporate job should go for. Reason? It will stick around with things/your body the moment you step out of an air-conditioned room and entangle with objects thereby break. So, the bottom line is to borrow ideas practically.

3. ALIA BHATT –Inarguably she displays the most eclectic range of ethnic office attire. Seen here is Alia swaddled in a plain black kurta with a pink Chinese collar and dupatta. This is from the scene where she is seen during a presentation in the movie – 2 States. For those ladies who are neither fond nor comfortable with sporting western office attire, sporting such plain kurtis comes across as a viable option.

4. KATRINA KAIF- She looked picture perfect in Fitoor. Not many can carry off red hair well and she looks dreamy with that fiery colour on her tresses! Seen here is Katrina (who essayed the role of Firdaus Jaan Naqvi in Fitoor) swaddled in atypical Western office attire but with a casual twist. The rolled up sleeves and slightly plunging neckline that doesn’t look risqué, makes it inimitable.

5. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- My vote for the best office/corporate attire to come out from Bollywood has to be from Deepika in Piku. Keeping the weather in mind, Deepika opts for a traditional fabric kurta with palazzo pants and mojris. Her accessories include bags, sunglasses, earrings and a scarf. The palazzo pants make sure that the fabric does not stick to one’s body and discomfit a person during our infamous sweltering summers.

6. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- And the Quantico girl arrives on the list and how! Shown to be working for Verve magazine in Dostana, PeeCee’s look had to be glamourous, chic and dramatic- something not usually associated with the minimalistic looks we see in conventional office jobs. As a result, she swaddled herself in bright dramatic outfits that looked apt with the field she was shown to be in- fashion.

7. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- We can’t help it if the lady has it in her to get a second feature in the list. Deepika Padukone, in the early days of her career essayed the role of a corporate employee in Kartik Calling Kartik. Shown to be a woman of today, her look was kept minimal and sophisticated. With soft curls cascading down her shoulders, she sported simple sleeveless white shirts teaming them up with a black figure-hugging skirt.

Editors’ Note: I loved Katrina in Fitoor and Deepika in Piku

Best Off Screen Looks of Parineeti Chopra

Best Off Screen Looks of Parineeti Chopra

By Nidhal

For years she had been targeted for two things. One, her weight. Two, her questionable and distasteful sense of raiment. Never did she buckle down once for either. Over the years, not only has Parineeti Chopra’s weight has become the talking point of Tinsel-town (dare you say that she’s out of shape. The vivacious lady looks drop-dead gorgeous in her chiselled avatar and what better than she working out for what she wanted instead of positing excuses?) but also her sartorial sense has ameliorated. We see Chopra Junior experiment and hit the bullseye quite often these days. So, let’s have a rundown of some of the Best Off-screen Looks of Parineeti Chopra 🙂

1. ON ‘LOOK WHO’S TALKING’- Swaddled in a black top from Zara and a red paint splatter skirt from The Source, Chopra Junior shot for an episode of Look Who’s Talking. She accessorised her look with a jeweled statement necklace and sported a pair of gorgeous Jimmy Choos. This look surely gets a thumbs up, Parineeti!

2. BOHEMIAN VIBES AT A STORE LAUNCH– Clad in denim shorts with a pink tee and floral cape that Parineeti teamed with nude wedges and multi-layered neck pieces, the Ishaqzaade actress made heads turn for all the right reasons at the H&M store launch in Noida. Not a lot many women can carry a bohemian look and Parineeti clearly does not fall in that category. The chirpy Chopra looks effortlessly sassy and easy on the eyes.

3. IN AN ANARKALI- Swathed in a beige anaarkali with the picture-postcard locales of Jaipur in the backdrop, Parineeti looks gorgeous minus gaudy (and that’s difficult to look as anarkalis tend to be opulent hence, chances of one looking gaudy are high if not carried/accessorised well). The young ‘Dawat-e- Ishq’ heroine delineates exquisiteness here, doesn’t she?

4. IN MUSKAAN GOSWAMI– Swathed in a blazer dress by Intrinsic by Muskaan Goswami, Parineeti Chopra dazzled on the red carpet of the HT Style Awards. One usually doesn’t go minimalistic when attending red carpet events that showcase more of bling and glitz; however Chopra Junior doesn’t go by the book. And who doesn’t love that rebellious streak of hers?

5. GOING PLAYFUL- Clad in a burgundy embellished blouse from Kanika Goyal that was paired with high-waisted shorts, Parineeti attended an event for a brand. Accessorising with caged heels and an oversized hat, she redefined the art of comfy dressing. We are swooning, Chopra Junior.

6. ON THE SETS OF KBC 8- Swaddled in a peplum style blue dress to promote Daawat-E- Ishq on Kaun Banega Crorepati, Parineeti topped the dress with a chunky statement necklace by The Source. She rounded off her look with black booties by Steve Madden. Now that is called chic dressing!

7. IN A TAREK SINNO GOWN- Swathed in a flared embellished gown by Tarek Sinno for the Zee Cine Awards 2016, the effervescent actress accessorised her look with petite baubles by Farah Khan Ali and shoes by Heel & Buckle. Nude makeup along with a braided hairdo completed her ethereal look.

Best Red Carpet Looks of B-Town Ladies

By Nidhal

The stage is set. The gruelling hours put in rehearsals are waiting to throw results. The awards are ready to make someone’s day. Film award ceremonies in India, no matter rigged or genuine, do provide a wide gamut of entertainment besides evincing the knack (or at times, unfortunately the lack of it) in fashion of our Tinseltown celebrities. So, on that note let’s take a look at the best red carpet looks of Bollywood ladies who sashayed in sheer panache and let everyone bewitched.

1. KRITI SANON – This newbie has definitely caught the fancy of fashionistas with her simple, subtle but stunning fashion sense. Seen her is Kriti Sanon all decked up in an orange gown with almost zero accessories and a neatly done hairdo on the red carpet of Star Guild Awards 2016. The look is as simple as it gets but catches ones eyeballs. Who said simple cannot be stunning? Kriti is here to refute it and how!

2. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- Often hailed as a fashionista, Priyanka Chopra floored one and all on the red carpet of Oscars 2016 when she opted for this white embellished strapless gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad. With her hair pulled into a subtle pony with a centre part, she walked the ginormous red carpet with panache.

3. AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN- Miss World 1994 opted for a strapless Oscar de la Renta gown in maroon at Cannes Film Festival 2015. Often accused for committing major style blunders in the past when it came to Cannes, Aishwarya nails it with this look. Smittten? Who wouldn’t be? 🙂

4. SHRADDHA KAPOOR- With such a cherubic and angelic face as hers, it would be difficult to look unprepossessing. On the green carpet of IIFA 2015, Shraddha Kapoor grabbed all the limelight for this simple strapless black gown that complemented her petite frame well. With a dazzling smile, minimal makeup and accessories, Shraddha looked a million bucks.

5. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- Mark my words- If there is any list on the most gorgeous/fashionable/elegant ladies, it’d be incomplete if she doesn’t make an appearance. Deepika Padukone glows effulgently in this elaborate and embellished Sabyasachi saree. With her hair done in a neat bun and a heart-warming smile, Deepika set a number of hearts fluttering (mine included) 🙂

6. KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN- Sashaying down the red carpet of Filmfare Glamour & Style Awards in a lemon colour Roberto Cavalli gown, the Begum of Pataudi- Kareena Kapoor Khan delineated the art of effortless dressing.

7. ANUSHKA SHARMA– There is a vibe of chirpiness, effervescence and a-girl- next-door surrounding this leggy lass who stepped into the glitzy world of Bollywood opposite SRK with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008 which makes her likeable. Not to forget, she was a model before switching over to acting so, her dressing sense has to be impeccable (as we expect naturally). Seen here is this towering lady swaddled in a light yellow Gauri and Nainka gown, which at the Vogue Beauty Awards. Dreamy, we say!

Image Sources: 1,2,3,4,5

Editor’s Note: I had attended the Vogue Beauty Awards last year and saw Anushka Sharma in person, her gown was beautiful! Also Aishwarya’s dress is one of my favourites! Kriti’t gown is oh so striking, love orange! I think I love all 😀

Who Wore What: IIFA 2016 Green Carpet

Hi guys,

I have been seeing IIFA 2016 updates everywhere, from Instagram to Snapchat to twitter to facebook, so that’s the only thing on my mind right now 😀

I saw all the outfits Bollywood celebs wore yesterday night for the main show and I thought of doing a post on that. So let’s start:

1. Deepika Padukone

Deepika wore this super gorgeous Sabyasachi Mukherjee lace and diamante beige co-ords with a beautiful cape to go with it. The diamond and emerald set matched the outfit perfectly. Makeup wise she had black smokey eyes and a nude pink lip with a slick back ponytail. I believe Daniel Bauer was doing her makeup for IIFA.

2. Neha Dhupia

Neha wore white separates, a white shirt and super flared skirt from H & M. She was styled by Sohaya. The outfit is decent but definitely not for IIFA. Considering how perfect Neha Dhupia always is, I am not impressed!

3. Athiya Shetty

Athiya wore a gorgeous blush pink Ramikadi gown. The roses and thread work detailing on the gown are gorgeous! She wore a Bibhu Mohapatra pant suit for the event a day earlier. The mesh shirt especially looks fabulous, pant suits are perfect for her tall and lean body. She was styled by Ami Patel. Her Ramikadi gown was to die for!

4. Aditi Rao Hydari

Aditi wore a green Shantanu & Nikhil gown with Outhouse jewellery. The hairband and earrings were beautiful. Her makeup was something to talk about, absolutely perfect, it was done by Elton J Fernandez. While wearing green on the green carpet is not a good idea, she managed to pull it off well.

5. Bipasha Basu

The newly married Bipasha Basu wore a deep navy Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla gown. The silhouette compliments her body really well and the the flared lower half is also very flattering.

6. Dia Mirza

Dia Mirza wore a mint Nakul Sen gown, it was ok, not something exceptional. Nothing much to say about.

7. Bhumi Pednekar

Bhumi is slaying it, she has transformed completely after her weight loss and has been on fleek in her fashion and makeup game too. I know our very own Neeraj Navare does her makeup quite a lot of times for events, etc. She wore this light lavender Shantanu & Nikhil lace strapless gown. The gown is beautiful and her deep red lips, straight hair and french manicured nails were absolutely perfect. Love!

8. Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi wore a beautiful beige Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla princessy gown. Love the silhouette, very flattering on her body and the dress is gorgeous. Hair tied in a sleek bun and deep red lips complete the look. She was styled by Alia Al Rufai

9. Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty wore a white cut out mermaid gown with mesh detailing and gold border, by Shantanu & Nikhil. She did want to show off her toned body which looks like worked really hard on. Not a fan of the dress but she looks fabulous, only she could carry something like this. The tan and bronzed skin looks sun kissed and glowing <3

10. Nargis Fakhri

Nargis wore this black Namrata Joshipura dress which was perfect for her height and body. She was styled by Alia Al Rufai too. She wore a pastel blue pant suit for the event the day before and carried it off amazingly well.

Which outfit did you like the most? I absolutely loved Deepika, Sonakshi, Athiya, Bhumi & Bipasha. Oo..there were many hits this year 🙂
