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..

Aishwarya’s Floral Dress and Amazing Makeup at Cannes 2013

Aishwarya’s Floral Dress, Armani Gown and Amazing Makeup at Cannes 2013

First let me clarify, no it was not both together :p Well, of course not..

She came in a floral embroidery Abu Jani- Sandeep Khosla gown for the Blood Ties Premiere..paired with a blush colored clutch..is’nt that plain and too blah ?! The dress could have been better if it was not soo heavy..makeup wise same smokey eyes and nude lips..

By the way, if you like her smokey eyes and nude lips..here is the makeup breakdown..L’oreal Paris True Match Foundation, Volume Million Lashes Mascara, Superliner Black Lacquer, True Match Blush in Grapefruit, Color Riche Eyeshadow Palette Velours Noir and Color Riche Matte Mania Lipstick in Silky Toffee..

She definitely came up with better makeup later..for her L’oreal Paris interview..in a black suit with lace detailing on the collar and sleeves and structured pants..she looks chic..and that bold red lips and nails floored us, did’nt it? 😉

For the Cleopatra premiere, she chose a teal Armani Privé gown…paired with fluttery lashes and hot pink lips…I loved the teal color…but not the structure..and the hot pink lips..but whats with that high straight bun ?! A lower bun could have looked so classy and good..

I loved that white shirt and black fishtail skirt she wore the first day..so chic..

Though her looks were hits and misses..but this time fortunately more hits than misses 😉

What do you think ? On the other hand, why on earth is Vidya daily dressed up like an Indian maharani 😀

P.S: I do not own any images.

For the 100 years of Indian cinema Gala, she chose a black and gold baroque Sabyasachi couture lehenga-sari…works for her..she looks pretty..I liked that gold hear gear thingie too..

Sonam Kapoor at Cannes 2013

Sonam Kapoor at Cannes 2013

Ok…I know a lot has been written about Sonam already..here I have combined all her outfits at Cannes 2013.

Sonam and Freida are L’oreal Paris Ambassadors and represent L’oreal Paris at Cannes every year..

In a cropped top and Anamika Khanna jacket when she was getting ready..I loved the jacket..and the fresh makeup and soft curls..

On the first day, she wore a Huemn gown and mom Sunita K’s signature jewellery line’s earrings..styling by sister Rhea Kapoor..fashion runs in the family :p

Yesterday she wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda Couture gown…its ethereal…so princessy..classic..paired with a necklace from her mom Sunita K’s line..I loveee it..

At the Opening Gala dinner she chose an Elie Saab couture pink lace and beaded full skirted dress with pink Saab ankle strap pumps and a pink jeweled clutch..matched to her pink lips..too much pink going on here..though I like the dress..I feel she could have broke the monotonous pink somewhere..

At The Great Gatsby screening, she wore Anamika Khanna Couture white lace sari with a long embroidered baroque jacket and completed the look with a huge nath from her mom’s line..I love the sari and the jacket..though not a fan of the nath somehow..I know people have loved it..maybe its just me..but actually I cannot imagine it on anyone else 😀 She is carrying it well rather than anyone else..whats your take on the nath ?

Makeup wise she stole the show..retro winged liner and deep merlot red lips and lot of shimmer..the shimmer on the forehead and face could have been lesser..but I loved the eyes and lips..

Today she wore a black lace Shehla Khan gown and Chopard Jewellery…the necklace is pretty..but the lehenga is kinda ok..not too much a fan..though I like the black and lace combo..does not work on this lehenga..

Which look did you like the most ? I feel she looks good in most of her appearances..what do you think ?

Pooja Chopra in Commando

Pooja Chopra in Commando

I saw Commando yesterday..loved Vidyut Jamval’s stunts..he is amazing ! No words..

I loved Pooja Chopra’s girl next door kinda pretty look..she looks sweet..

She wore casuals throughout the movie except for songs..printed dresses, checkered shirts with denims, grey tank with orange cardigan and denim shorts..and one-two suits..

Her face was done well with a good coverage foundation and since her face is a little chubby, it was contoured..blush was not used in most of the scenes..I guess the focus was contouring..

Eyes were done amazingly well..smokey eyes with matte browns and taupes..and both upper and lower lashline were lined with lots of kohl..eyes were totally the centre of attraction..

She used deep mauve pink like Colorbar Velvet Matte Naked Pink or Inglot AMC Collection Matte Lip Pencil 23 throughout the movie..and nude brown in few scenes..except for the song ‘Loot Jawaan’ at the end where she used a shimmery pink eyeshadow and pink lipstick..(I did not like that combo :/)

Hair were sleek and straight throughout the movie..

Overall quite a nice wearable look..

Did you watch Commando ? Liked Pooja’s makeup ?

Sonakshi Sinha in Dabangg 2

Sonakshi Sinha in Dabangg 2

I saw Dabangg 2 few days back..Ok I am a big time Salman fan..like big time..and from yearss..though I did not like Dabanng 1 much..but 2 was super fun..full paisa vasool entertainment..and more so for Salman fans..

I liked Sonakshi’s look in the movie..

She wore sheer colorful saris, shaded saris and some with a light border in pink, yellow, blue, green mostly with three fourth sleeved backless blouses..the blouses were quite interesting though..embroidered, polka dots with a border, printed and colorful like this one below..in fact many of her saris are available online..let me know in the comments below if you want to know the link..

She has a braid with gajra in most part of the movie except 1-2 songs..coming to her makeup..

She has a flawless base with a good coverage foundation, kohled eyes, full brows, neutral eyeshadows like taupes and browns and well defined and lined eyes.

Dirty pink brown blushes used lightly..like MAC Mocha maybe..

For lips she has matte nude pinks, pinky browns like Lakme Lip Love Aphrodite Blush, Colorbar Naked Pink, Inglot AMC Matte Lip Pencil 23, MAC Cosmo, MAC Double Shot, etc..

I like the overall neutral and matte look..no bright colors, no shimmers..she has this perfect quintessential bahu look..

Bipasha Basu at the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon

Bipasha Basu at the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon

I saw these pics right now..and I just had to share them with you all !

Bipasha Basu in a gorgeous coral Pia Pauro sleeveless maxi dress with a thigh high slit..ok somehow I think it would have looked better without the slit..

But she has got everything perfect here..the necklace is awesome..the coral color goes oh so well with her skin tone..and do you see those gorgeous shiny legs..ahem before I sound like a lesbo :p

The luminous skin, winged liner, coral lippie, soft coral pink blush and the romantic bouncy curls..can someone say she was unwell and hospitalised a few days back ?! 😮

I am not a Bipasha fan..but cannot ignore her here..she looks ravishing !

Katrina Kaif in Ek Tha Tiger

Katrina Kaif in Ek Tha Tiger

I saw the movie yesterday..and its actually late..coz I am a big time Salman fan..and I like Katrina too..though the story is blah..I can watch them both..if you are a Salman or Katrina fan, you should watch it once..

Katrina has different looks in the movie..and has dressed according to the locations obviously..when they are in Ireland and she plays a student, she wears lots of T shirts, skirts, dresses with cardigans and jackets and then as an ISI agent, she wears embroidered salwar suits and later in Cuba, she is back to her shorts and dresses..I loved this red cage dress too in the song ‘Main Lapata’

She has kept her hair either tied back to a high pony or kept loose with lots of messy curls.

She has super glossy, shiny lips throughout mostly a baby pink or a bright neonish coral..and a peachy brown blush to compliment or a plummy pink in some..

And soft brown shadow on the eyes or basic brown smokey eyes in a few..

The part wear she plays an ISI agent and wears suits, she has thick rimmed kohl eyes and a nudish gloss to go with..

In the song ‘Mashalla’ she sports smokey eyes and nude lips..you can see brown smokey eyes with lots of kohl smudged on the outer half..and some contouring with a bronzer..

In the end chase scenes, she has a girl next door look with a matte MLBB shade and a no makeup kinda look..

Overall I quite loved her look from the basic styling to clothes to makeup, well she is one girl who actually looks good in everything though..

Did you see the movie ? Did you like Katrina’s look ?

Diana Penty in Cocktail

Diana Penty in Cocktail

I was quite excited to watch Cocktail and saw it on the first day..though the movie is quite ok..you can watch it once just for the styling..amazing work by Anaita Shroff Adajania…hats off

I loved Diana’s styling the most..though Deepika was hot..Diana’s style was more wearable and relatable..she wore cardigans, jackets, polka dots, stripes, checks..from the punjabi Delhi girl entering in salwar kameez, her style evolves better and better throughout the movie..

She had her hair open throughout in almost all the scenes..with the front bangs pinned in some and a side braid in some..

As far as her makeup is concerned, she had an au naturel look..her base was very light and minimal..she does have a good skin..

She has thick kohl on her upper and lower lashline throughout..the kohl is smudged on the upper lashline with some soft brown eye shadow blended in..muted gold in some scenes..and lots of mascara especially on the upper lashes..

And a peachy pink lipstick with a matching blush..and a MLBB shade in few scenes..

P.S: She being a Maybelline Brand Ambassador..says she loves and uses the Maybelline Colossal Kajal and BB Cream..and also likes the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation.

I love her minimal, effortless, natural look..Do you ?

Parineeti Chopra in Ishaqzaade

Parineeti Chopra in Ishaqzaade


I guess many of you must have seen this movie by now..I happened to see it twice..not that I loved it so much..but had to accompany a friend..I found the movie ok..but did not like the ending obviously..Loved the songs..’Main Pareshaan’ is so hummable and nice..and ‘Hua Chokra Jawaan Re’ :p

Parineeti is sans make up in most of the scenes especially after the interval..just her smudged kohl..lots of it..on the waterline and lower lashline..(She plays a Muslim character in the movie). Her dark circles are quite visible in some scenes..but she is blessed with a good skin..so looks quite natural and believable.

Her look was very natural and fresh in the starting scenes…She does not sport much of color on the face or any fancy hair dos..but a very girl next door kinda look.

Tips to achieve the look:

  • Dab concealer to hide blemishes and dark circles.
  • Light touch of Tinted Moisturiser
  • Wash of chocolate brown eye shadow all over the lids. (In some scenes she had no eye shadow at all)
  • Lots of kajal on the waterline and lower lash line and smudge it with a Q tip or ring finger
  • Tightline the eyes with a black eye pencil.
  • A very thin layer of a liquid liner close to the upper lash line.
  • Apply 1-2 coats of a lengthening mascara.
  • Fill in your brows with a brown eye shadow.
  • She did not sport any blush or highlighter..a hint of a peachy pink blush in the starting scenes.
  • Soft pink tinted lip balm or a touch of MLBB peachy brown shade for the lips.
Of course you can add her black waist coat with a smiley badge (that was cute!)

So that is it..I hope you liked the break down..did you see the movie ? You liked ?
