Aishwarya Rai, Sonam Kapoor: Cannes 2014

First of all guys, this is my 1500th post! I still can’t believe my 1500th post is about Sonam or Ash, coz I don’t like either :/ But yay anyhoo 😀

Coming to the post, a lot has been said about Sonam and Aishwarya already! I would just like to give my 2 cents on it..

Aishwarya Rai was a stunner at Cannes 2014! She stole the show completely..a total veteran! Though by far, this has been her best Cannes 2014 appearance from years and years..this is my favorite year of hers..

On the 1st day (extreme right), she chose a golden corset shaped mermaid like Roberto Cavalli gown..with oh so perfect makeup and hair! Soft wavy loose hair and L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipstick in Lincoln Rose with falsies and oodles of L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara does the trick here.

Though the gown was copied from Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth who wore it to the recent Academy Awards..but nonetheless full credits to Ash to look stunning in it!

On the 2nd day (center), she again chose a Roberto Cavalli..this time a silver and went for smokey eyes and nude lips..nothing too fancy here..though the gown is good..but repetitive after the 1st day.

3rd day (extreme left) Ash went for this beige gold Armani Prive gown..bright teal eyes and red lips. Ok, why is that push up bra clashing with the plunging neckline..we do not want to know how perky your assets are at this age..we know its a push up bra, Dear Ash..spare us. Though the gown is nice and could have been worn in a better way..the bust area looks off..red lips work with this gown but why the bright teal eyes!

So,overall only the 1st look was a bomb and killer..and the most remembered look for years to come..one of Aishwarya Rai’s best in her career..she looked super confident too. And the L’Oreal Moist Mat in Lincoln Rose has been selling off like hot cakes coz of her!!

Coming to our very own ‘self-proclaimed style icon’ Sonam Kapoor.

Sonam Kapoor has showcased 3 very different red carpet looks this year. An Anamika Khanna traditional Sari and 2 Elie Saab Couture gowns..the black was fantabulous! So princessy and grecian..I had no words..rest two outfits were pretty ok..nothing to wow us. I love her Chopard jewellery! Stunning pieces..can make any girl go weak in the knees.

Makeup wise Sonam Kapoor made sensible choices on all the days..all thanks to Namrata Soni. I loved the nude lip with L’Oreal Moist Mat Lipstick in Maple Mocha.

Whom did you like the most or rather which look did you like the most ? I loved the 1st day look for both the girls..

Who Wore What- IIFA Awards 2014 and the Green Carpet

So after the press conference, promotions and pre- events which I covered HERE, lets move on to the main awards IIFA 2014.

My hits and misses..

1. Jahnvi Kapoor in D & G

Jahnvi chose a Dolce & Gabbana full skirted dress and strappy sandals..with a soft, messy updo. Cute, I did say.

2. Parineeti Chopra in Nikhil Thampi

Pari chose this one shoulder peach Nikhil Thampi gown..the color is good..but is it not a little too simple ? I did not like the Rahul Mishra one sheer skirt though..did not flatter her figure..this is atleast better.

3. Kalki in Gaurav Gupta

Kalki in a grey Gaurav Gupta gown with silver detailing all over. No, a little too much..plus the color is too dull on her.

4. Yami Gautam in Gauri and Nainika

Yami in this monochrome Gauri Nainika gown..though it screams high school..but she always looks cute !

5. Dia Mirza in Sabyasachi

Dia looked amazing in this pink and gold ombre Sabyasachi embellished gown with Amrapali jewellery..that dress is stunning !

6. Gauahar Khan in Ken Ferns

Gauahar in a red Ken Ferns gown..is it Christmas already ?! Did not like the silhouette too.

7. Kareena Kapoor in Armani

Kareena chose this black sheer panel Armani dress..a little too bold..but she pulled it off quiet well !

8. Sridevi in Oscar De La Renta

Sridevi chose this black shimmery Oscar De La Renta gown..perfect makeup, hair updo and studs..she looks ravishing !

9. Priyanka Chopra in Monique Lhuillier

PC chose this embellished nude Monique Lhuillier gown..smokey eyes and an elegant updo..she looked great.

10. Sonakshi Sinha in Amit Aggarwal

Shimmery Navy Blue Amit Aggarwal gown, Bottega Veneta clutch, soft wavy hair..Sonakshi looked quiet good.

11. Deepika Padukone in Zuhair Murad

Dippy chose a Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad red lace gown..I liked the gown..but the berry lip :/ Does not work with this at all.

12. Dia Mirza in Halston Heritage

Beautiful peachy orange pleated Halston Heritage gown, Jimmy Choo clutch and an Amrapali multi chained layered necklace..Dia looks stunning here !

12. Madhuri Dixit in Sonaakshi Raaj

Again a Sonaakshi Raaj after Bipasha in white..this time Madhuri chose a different color..and I am glad..coz that color looks amazing on her..loved it. (Both these Sonaakshi Raaj outfits are from the recent Lakme Fashion Week S/R 2014..and I had attended this show)

13. Swara Bhaskar in BCBG

Swara chose this coral BCBG illusion panel dress..I like how the illusion panel works on her..nice..

14. Kareena in Armani

Kareena chose a Giorgio Armani again..separates here..a beaded white top and velvet paneled skirt..bright orange lips completed the look.

Also there were many blacks ! Madhuri chose a black Jatin Varma and Malaika a Shivan Narresh, Bipasha a Rocky S..too many black gowns seen !

I loved Sridevi, Madhuri, Kareena, Dia and Priyanka !

So, whats your pick ? Whose outfit did you like the most ?

Who Wore What: IIFA Press Con, Promotions, IIFA Rocks- 2014

So, the IIFA Awards 2014 events have begun..and this time its in Tampa Bay, USA. As we see what the celebs have been wearing at the airport, at the IIFA press conference, promotions all over the US, IIFA Rocks (The Fashion show by Manish Malhotra for Mijwan Society) and of course the main Awards as and when they happen.

For now, I have picked up few hits and misses from the pre-events for you guys..do let me know your thoughts..

1. Kareena Kapoor at the Press Conference

She wore Anand Kabra separates..monochrome does work here..but one thing that glams up the outfit totally is the Maheep Kapoor Statement Necklace..goes with the embroidery on the sleeves..she finished it with YSL sandals..the look works for her.

2. Vidya Balan at IIFA promotions in NY

Vidya Balan wore a Satya Paul checkered sari with an orange long jacket blouse..and Manish Arora Earrings from Amrapali collection..ok, so there have been two views on this..some like it, some hate it..For me, this look totally works..the bright orange totally pops the checkered monochrome..and though she has been wearing sarees always, this one is an Indo-western kinda fusion..which looks amazing in my opinion.

3. Priyanka Chopra at IIFA Promotions

PC wore this Dior outfit, Isharya earrings and Valentino pumps..orange again here..I like the pop of orange..dress is ok..But I hate that brown/wine lips..can’t PC just lose them ??!

4. Sonakshi Sinha at IIFA Promotions

Sonakshi wore this black DKNY LBD with cut-out accents, nude peep toes and Bansri earrings..she wore her hair in soft waves..very normal and average..

5. Nimrat Kaur at IIFA Rocks

Nimrat wore a neon orange strapless midi dress with nude pumps..ok this is very Barbie dollish ! But, she did manage to pull it off decently well.

6. Vaani Kapoor at IIFA Rocks

Vaani wore multi print high neck Diva’ni dress, metallic pumps and Eina Ahluwalia earrings. What was she thinking ? Its like..wayy too much going on !

7. Priyanka Chopra at IIFA Rocks

PC wore a Prabal Gurung sheath dress and matching pumps..and Jaipur gems jewellry..and and and she wore a bright lip ! Finally ! And that suits her so well..why is she stuck to browns :/

8. Yami Gautam at IIFA Rocks

Yami wore a Clover Canyon flared dress and Joe’s nude pumps with a see-through Kotur clutch..I loved the hair too..I think she looks cute..

9. Bipasha Basu at IIFA Rocks

Bips chose this Gaurav Gupta plunging neckline metallic gown and Farah Khan Ali earrings..and sported a faux bob..Though its way too metallic and I am not sure how would it look on anyone else (Except Deepika..she pulls off everything), Bips managed to carry it.

10. Aditi Rao Hydari at IIFA Rocks

Aditi chose this oxblood Narendra Kumar suit and berry sandals..she looks chic..

Whose look did you like the most ?

Parineeti Chopra at Suzuki’s Let’s Scooter Launch

Hey everyone,

I saw these pics of Parineeti online and ..the girl has actually lost quite a lot of weight to be paired opposite Siddharth Malhotra in Hasee Toh Phasee..

At Suzuki’s Let’s Scooter Launch, she looked fab in a mustard yellow palazzo jumpsuit..I loved the jumpsuit too..the color, the structure..very flattering for the figure..

Or is the jumpsuit magic that they look slimmer ? Remember Sonakshi Sinha in a black Rachel Roy jumpsuit and spiked Steve Madden heels..she looked killer !

What do you think ??

Madhuri Dixit’s Saris in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa

Madhuri Dixit’s Saris in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa

I am a big fan of Madhuri’s each and every look and outfit in JDJ..be it her saris, anarkalis, lehengas, perfect makeup, perfect hairstyle..and oh so awesome accessories and jewelery..every time a new episode is airing, I go WOW seeing Madhuri !

I read this article on Yahoo..and its a perfect break up of some of my favorite saris..sharing it here..

Well, this Bollywood star has now become a fashion diva as well. With a disarming charm, Madhuri’s style is now being talked about and copied by girls around the country. Madhuri has managed to add charisma and panache into traditional Indian wear, especially sarees like never before. Her every look is carefully styled and put together effortlessly. So, take a look at few of the sarees that Madhuri has worn for JDJ, as we decode them for you.

Mirror Shimmer
Madhuri rocks the mirror work in designer Arpita Mehta’s saree’s as she floors her fans with her style on JDJ. The offbeat colours and distinguishing mirror works on them makes the saree stand out.

Here is a saree that is mostly white in colour. Warm peach and apple green colours add a lot of zing to it. The fabric is tissue silk which is slightly sheer. The border is accentuated with coral lace and mirror work. Slight effects of green on the pallu, paired with matching quilted green sleeveless blouse; make the saree quite a refreshing option that can be worn during the day or evening. White and orange tassels on the pallu are an inexpensive way of making the saree a little heavier and appropriate for a bigger occasion.

Madhuri also rocks a stunning bright pink georgette saree. It has casually spread mirror work on the full saree. She has teamed it up with a rather fun and floral printed sleeveless blouse. It has gold lace and a line of blue mirror work on the border. The idea here is to choose a simple mirror work saree and combining it with an interesting blouse.

Print Parade
Prints are youthful, fun, and charming and come handy, especially when you do not wish to carry the weight of embroideries and heavy decorations.

Madhuri Dixit sports a multi-coloured saree designed by Masaba Gupta, a designer who is famous for her unique use of prints and patterns. The fabric looks like crepe silk if you observe the pleating carefully. This saree has a burst of colours. It has light grey and candy pink mixed on the lower part. Neon green and black accentuating the pallu makes the look so vibrant. A sleeveless lace blouse is added to bring back the sensuality to an otherwise fun and flirty saree. The smokey eyes just make Madhuri look ‘perfect’!

This designer Sabyasachi saree has polka dotted print on the ivory base. It is a georgette saree. There is an interesting pop of pink in the pleats, slight black net detailing, and mint coloured border. She is wearing a plain raw silk blouse.

Make your look even more retro by going in for polka dots in even brighter colours like turmeric yellow and tomato red. Here is Madhuri in a saree by designer Nikasha. Notice the gold border and beautiful tassels finishing out the look perfectly. This sort of a look can work amazingly well for cocktail dinners or even pre-wedding functions of your friends and family.

Net Factor
Older women tend to move away from sheer fabrics, but Madhuri bends the rule. She looks classy and chic even when she chooses a net saree.

The sheer midnight blue saree is a visual delight. Madhuri teams it up with a golden and pink sleeveless blouse. It matches the subtle gold thread work on the saree.

A more serious look comes about in a gold sheer saree (designed by Tarun Tahiliani), with a maroon velvet blouse. The blouse and the saree are adorned with Swarovski that are lightweight and glittery at the same time. After seeing a string of sleeveless blouses, a velvet blouse with fluffed sleeves is a welcomed change. The choice of colours and exquisite work makes the saree quite a hit for all brides-to-be to have in their trousseau.

Which sari did you like the most ? I love all..though the first two and polka dots Sabyasachi ones are my favorites..
