Editor’s Note: Agree with this list Sanchita, thankfully I do have all of these :p But I prefer platform heels and not very high heels as they are not the most comfortable currently for me. I gave 4-5 of my very high heels to my cousin who loves them

Do you have all these shoes in your closet?

Bollywood Newbies Who Give Us Major Fashion Goals

By Nidhal

With each passing year we witness a sea of newcomers making inroad into the glitzy, glamorous and glittering world of Tinseltown. Some sparkle with their author-backed roles while some fizzle point-blank in addition to taking the audience for a ride (a ride they would never sign up for even if offered a free ticket)! Amongst all those who venture into Bollywood, there are some whose sense of dressing and taste in fashion compels us to sit back and take a notice after all, they might just be the next ‘Fashionistas’ of B-town 🙂

On that note, here is a compendium of those B-town ladies, some of them yet to be launched while most new-comers, who have it in them to be the next Fashionistas of Tinseltown.

1. KRITI SANON- A towering height? Check. An enviable body? Check. Glossy mane? Check. Pert and ebullient attitude? Check. A gorgeous face? Check. Anything left? Oh yes, an impeccable sense of style. This Delhi girl makes sure that even if she swathes herself in the simplest of attires, heads would turn. A newbie in Tinseltown who looks effortlessly stylish in even a simple pair of jeans and tops/tees, Kriti’s style is easy-going, fun and vivacious. Certainly, one lady for whom all the boys would do Heropanti to win her over!

2. VAANI KAPOOR- She scorched the silver screen with Shudh Desi Romance in 2013 as Gayatri but went missing from the big screen thereafter. She is back this year with the quirky Ranveer Singh in YRF’s Befikre and we couldn’t be any happier for the chirpy lady’s laidback sense of style is what we are going to be treated to.

3. KHUSHI KAPOOR- Now, comes a lady who hasn’t be formally launched but thanks to Instagram, we get to glimpses of this gorgeous lady who is making the right waves with her sartorial choices. The daughter of Bonny & Sridevi Kapoor and the cousin of the reigning Fashionista of Tinseltown- Sonam Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor is one lady whom we are eagerly looking forward to w.r.t. the style department. Doesn’t this picture of hers exude oomph and aplomb as she unleashes her gothic avatar? 🙂

4. MALAVIKA MOHANAN- A newbie in the Malayam film industry, Malavika Mohanan is the best out of the lot for me. There is something about her that makes me go “Ah! She is so sophisticatedly sensual” every time I see a picture of her. Be it ethnic wear or Western apparel, she is rules the roost and how! An expression of her creative energies- The Scarlet Window, her Tumblr blog is a treat to the eyes of fashion connoisseurs.

5. ATHIYA SHETTY – By now a favourite of a number of leading fashion connoisseurs, Athiya Shetty experiments confidently with clothes like no other. From figure-hugging gowns to grungy attire, from heavily embellished anarkalis to dunagrees, Athiya takes dressing seriously and that shows every time she makes an appearance.

6. DIANA PENTY- Essaying the character of Meera in Cocktail with utmost sincerity and subtlety, Diana struck a chord with audiences instantly. Unfortunately, we couldn’t see more of this leggy lass after that but she’s soon going to reappear on the silver screen. A former successful model, Diana’s style is very easy-going, laidback and comfort-driven. But that doesn’t mean the lady can’t carry other outfits. She can very well let her hair down and transmogrify into the drop-dead gorgeous diva at her own sweet will.

7. POOJA HEGDE- About to make inroads into Tinseltown opposite Greek God- Hrithik Roshan in Ashutosh Gowariker’s period drama- Mohenjodaro, Pooja Hegde is a known name down South. With her sharp Indian features, luscious locks and experimental streak, we are sure to get treated to a whole new range of eclectic styles with time 🙂

Editor’s Note: I really like Kriti Sanon and Vaani Kapoor. Also Athiya Shetty looks perfect all the time.

Bollywood Ladies Who Sizzle in Bikinis

Bollywood Ladies Who Sizzle in Bikinis

By Nidhal

Who would have thought that a leading Bollywood lady would don a bikini given the holier-than-thou and ultra-conservative setup of our society in the 60s- a time when even the vamp’s (dressed in a saree) viciousness had to be manifested by the rhythmic raising of her brows?

It took Sharmila Tagore a Filmfare shoot to mellow down the shame/discomfort in sporting one. A trailblazer in the truest sense of the word, she took everyone by storm when she sported a tow- piece on the cover of Filmfare. It was in 1967. Roughly, half a century later and we have B-town actresses sporting bikinis well relative ease 🙂 A great many of them not just sport it but in fact, sizzle in it compelling both men and women to drool uncontrollably. On that note, let us have a look at those B-town ladies who manage to set temperatures soaring with their bikini avatars.

1. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- Touted as the ‘Bollywood Actress with the Best Body’, it is no surprise that Deepika makes it to the list. Do I even need to expatiate a bit on why? Just look at her. Isn’t her body typically what we call “body goals”? Sculpted to perfection, chiselled with grace and carried with elan, Deepika raises temperatures with her bikini act.

2. LISA HAYDON- This towering lass who is a former model by profession, is blessed with luminous skin, well-defined features and a body to kill for. Naturally, it goes without saying that she carries off a bikini with sheer aplomb.

3. SAPNA PABBI- This Khamoshiyaan actress may look like a typical girl-next- door thanks to her effervescent and pert features, but transforms into a sultry, sizzling and sensual diva the moment she dons a bikini. We are left panting, Ms. Pabbi!

4. BIPASHA BASU- This Bengali bombshell sets the silver screen on fire with her bikini act EVERY TIME she makes an appearance in that two-piece. The sheer confidence she exudes is unparalleled. Didn’t we drool helplessly as she strutted down the beaches in Dhoom 2 and Players? Oh, yes we did.

5. NARGIS FAKHRI- Spare me a minute to compose myself. Those long, unending legs are droooool-worthy. This half Czech- half Pakistani leggy lass is a former model and carries off outfits with aplomb. Period. We had a little sneak-peek of her bikini avatar in Main Tera Hero’s song ‘Galat Baat’ but here is a full-blown visual of this smouldering lady who is sensuality incarnate.

6. ADITI RAO HYDARI- Cuteness is the epithet for Aditi any day. With a heart-warming smile, doe-shaped eyes and pert persona, Aditi resembles a typical girl next door but she magically turns into the seductive diva as she dons a bikini. That is one heck of a transformation but who’s complaining? 😀

7. LARA DUTTA- If there was anything remotely memorable about the movie- Blue, it has to be the visuals of the sultry and exotic Lara Dutta sauntering beaches and swaying underwater. Her sun-kissed skin added an exquisite touch to her bikini avatar. Sensual, exotic, sultry, mesmerising, captivating… keep the adjectives coming. It’s Miss Universe Lara Dutta after all!

Editor’s Note: Deepika Padukone in Cocktail and Bipasha Basu always are my favourites. I also like Priyanka Chopra in the gold bikini in Dostana, Shilpa Shetty in the same movie in the Shut Up and Bounce song.

B Town Ladies Who Are Bringing Sexy ‘Back’

By Nidhal

While we sing paeans in the honour of eyes for they are appositely called “The windows to one’s soul”, there is another part of ours that exudes sensuality in an unprecedented way. Be it the slight slit of a crop top that gives a peak-a- boo to those chiseled muscles running all the way down or the 9-yard long saree which lets one flaunt that sculpted back the way you have always wanted to, there is no denying that backs are sensual and if flaunted rightly, they can set temperatures soaring 🙂 Tinseltown too, has a fair share of ladies whose backs leave us drooling every time we spot them in attire that flaunts their covetous possession. So, why not have a look at them and get that much- needed boost of inspiration that makes us hit the gym right now?

1. SHRIYA SARAN- Indubitably, the epitome of an Indian beauty for me, Shriya’s facial features are as enviable as her drool-worthy back which augments the grace of her backless blouses all the more. Dove-shaped eyes, fuller lips, glossy tresses, luminous skin, an enviable back that flaunts the skimpiest of blouses tastefully and there you have it, our very own Desi Jasmine

2. VIDYA BALAN- Can there seriously be anyone who does not admire this lady? She is audacious, intrepid and ridiculously sexy. And yes, she knows it too 🙂 Vidya Balan again is one Indian lady whose back makes for a nice piece of art to look at in sheer admiration and envy (if we confess)! Gawk… Drool… Sigh… repeat.

3. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- If offered to, I will without any iota of doubt switch bodies with her. Who wouldn’t? 😀 Her physique can carry off even a curtain if she’s told to! And while we may sigh over her almond-shaped eyes and toned legs, it is her back that raises mercury levels high. Cue? Watch Ram Leel’s Ang Laga De. The grace with which her waist sways and back arches makes her look feminine and enchanting simultaneously.

4. KATRINA KAIF- To those who don’t know, in De Dana Dan (an Akshay-Katrina starrer comedy flick), a special song was added (yes, the ones whose stills you are feasting your eyes to) to bank upon this on-screen couple’s sizzling chemistry. While the lesser we say with regards to the flick, the better but we surely do not disapprove the person(s) whose idea it was 🙂 After all, we got to see that this Hong-Kong born lady has a back that tantalises one to the T.

5. NARGIS FAKHRI- Miss Fakhri who is all the way from The States, has a pout that is the shutterbugs’ fancy to capture. A former model, Nargis posts about her diet and exercise routines on her Instagram account and fortunately, we now ken what that chiseled back of hers is a result of.

6. ANUSHKA SHARMA- Ms. Sharma who redefines pertness, vivaciousness and ebullience is not just a storehouse of energy and youth but also the proud owner of a sultry back that is well- flaunted here by her.

7. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- We, Desis particularly the ladies have some unique possessions just like women across the globe are blessed in some departments. And when swathed in Desi apparel, those possessions get highlighted like never before. Take a cue from the Desi Girl whose back here, can leave one both awed and amazed thanks to the way the saree is highlighting her curves.

Editor’s Note: Katrina and Deepika look fabulous.

Best Off Screen Fashion Looks of Deepika Padukone

Best Off Screen Fashion Looks of Deepika Padukone

By Nidhal

Tinseltown stood testimony to the launch of Mr. Prakash Padukone’s daughter opposite SRK. It was the perfect launch vehicle. Renowned star, commercial film, huge budget, exotic and fancy locales, elaborate song and dance sequences, reincarnation saga, avenging the death of the love of one’s life by battering the antagonist black and blue, a song sequence entailing almost the entire B-town and aggressive promotions… Om Shanti Om (2007) was an ideal Launchpad for the lady.

To top it all, the movie was clashing with Sanjay Leela Bhansaali’s Sawariya which starred two star kids. So, the competition had some teeth in it too. The release date arrived. The box office stated its verdict. OSO thrashed Sawariya point blank and the leading lady of the former became an overnight sensation. Despite bagging almost all the Best Female Debut awards that year, her acting skills were limited and were panned by critics for long. With time, she upped her game, took things in her stride and today, she is no longer just Prakash Padukone’s daughter. She is Deepika Padukone

With humongous commercial successes like Chennai Express, Race 2 and YJHD in her kitty and an award-winning performance in Piku, this dimpled lady has set the bar high now. As far as her styling is concerned, it has evolved over the years and how! Almost everything she donnes has Fashionistas sit up and take notice. With a towering frame, heart-warming smile, almond-shaped eyes, drool- worthy physique and effortless sense of style, Deepika has no doubt become a sure-shot head- turner 🙂 On that note, let’s have a look at the BEST OFF-SCREEN AVATARS OF DEEPIKA PADUKONE THAT LEFT US DROOLING.

1. IN FENDI- Looking as fresh as a daisy, Ms. Padukone attended a promotional event for Bajirao Mastani in Delhi wearing Fendi separates with Zanotti ankle-strap sandals. With her luscious locks let loose and radiant skin, this look was easy, fun, casual and trendy.

2. UNVEILING THE DEEWANI-MASTANI SONG- Swaddled in a Tarun Tahiliani long kurta skirt look with relatively simple kundan earrings in Jaipur while unveiling the ‘Deewani Mastani’ song from her then, impending movie- Bajirao Mastani, Deepika looked a million bucks as she finished out the look with a matching lip shade and chic hairdo.

3. LET’S GO BLING- For another promotional event for Bajirao Mastani, Deepika opted for a monochrome striped blouse with a gold sequined pencil skirt. A studded belt from ASOS and cage sandals rounded her look out. To top it all, her poker straight hair looked chic and upped her glam quotient by leaps and bounds.

4. A LITTLE MORE BLING NEVER HURTS- Taking the bling look ahead, Deepika donned a pair of ripped bling jeans with a casual sweatshirt for the least leg of promotions of Bajirao Mastani. With her hair tied in a ponytail and s pair of heels, she sashayed as the shutterbugs tried to get a glimpse of this leggy lass. This look is apt for parties if you wish to break free from the monotony of one-piece dresses 🙂

5. GOING CASUAL WITH TUNICS- Keeping it casual and comfy during the Pune promotional tour of Bajirao Mastani, Deepika breezed through the scorching heat in a casual light grey tunic with distressed white pants, gold-tone jewelry,a brown belt, and animal-print ballerinas. It looks comfy and would make for an ideal pick for a casual day out with friends when the Sun is leaving no stone unturned to toast you

6. WITH TRIBAL JEWELLERY- Deepika gives one major fashion goals with this ochre Mango shift dress paired with a fringed Stradivarius vest that she donned for the promotions of Tamasha. The tribal jewellery is the perfect finishing touch.

7. IN MICHAEL KORS- The leading lady of Tamasha defines the art of chic dressing as she opts for a midi-length Michael Kors dress with Steve Madden heels. Add to that, her fresh as a daisy skin tone and you are sure to be smitten, aren’t you?

Top 10 Beauty & Fashion Trends of 2016

Guest Post

The year 2016 is half gone. Yes we’re past June! So today I’m sharing some latest beauty and fashion trends of the year so far. Let’s begin. 😀

1. Bubble Eyeliner – Still trying to ace winged eyes? You better not! As bubble eyeliner is the newest funky makeup trend. It is a sort of bumpy eyeliner which was discovered by the beauty Youtuber, Jenny Gonzalez. Since then it has been spreading wide on Instagram.

2. Choker – The choker is back and with a bang. You must have already spotted it as they’re literally everywhere, from Bollywood to neighborhood. 😉

It’s quite easy to carry a choker and you must give it a shot, if haven’t already.

3. Cold Shoulder – Also known as off shoulder, this popular trend from the 90’s is back. It has become a must to have an off shoulder top.

It goes well with the choker, a perfect pairing with which you can never go wrong.

4. Bold Brows – It’s time for going bold with thick eyebrows. Ditch those thin arched regular look and experiment something different and quirky.

Bollywood stars such as Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra among others have been spotted rocking this trend. Here Sonam is sporting another new makeup trend i.e. Reverse Winged Eyeliner or also known as Upside Down Cat Eye Look.

5. Liquid Lipstick – Haven’t heard of them yet? Then let me tell you, it is the new kid on the block which has garnered much of acclaim recently.

Liquid lipstick has a great staying power and offers pigmentation of a lipstick and shine of a lip gloss. You can always blot it out to achieve a matte look, if it is glossy. You get matte liquid lipsticks too.

6. Ombre Lips – It’s a Korean beauty trend where you’re combine two tones of colors. Ombre lips look absolute gorgeous and is often sported by models on runways. I would suggest you to initially begin with more wearable colors rather than the darker shades.

7. Peel off Lipstick – You love makeup and then you love tattoos. So do you love makeup tattoos? It’s a peel off and apply concept originally from South Korea. It’s quite long lasting, upto 12 hours. Though it must be used with a bit of care as it may hurt your pretty pout.

8. Rainbow Highlighter – All thanks to an Etsy shop Bitter Lace Beauty for bringing out Prism, the rainbow highlighter. This highlighter does the perfect job to highlight your cheekbones with rainbow colors. Exciting right? But if you can’t wait to own one, then you can DIY one as the net is flooded with quite creative ideas.

9. Clown Contouring – As the name suggests, clown contouring means to make a clown of yourself by oozing lots of makeup on your face. Only to arrive at a perfectly blended and contoured look. YouTube beauty vlogger, Esther who came up with this beauty trend remarks it as a fun approach to contouring.

10. Sheer Trend – It’s one of the biggest summer fashion trend. It’s quite common among the celebs but not easy to carry as it can lead to over exposure too. But the effortless way to add it to your wardrobe is a sheer back crop top or sheer neckline blouse with a saree. If you’re really in awe of this trend then you can also go for the skirts which look quite fabulous.

That’s all about the top 10 beauty and fashion trends of 2016. Have you tried any of these? Do share in the comments below.

What Does Your Clothing Color Say About Your Personality

By Sanchita

Color has a deep connection with the personality of a human being. It has several embedded emotions and plays a very important role when it comes to the attire. Everyone has their favorite color which one is drawn to and some might not even realize unless they actually pay a close heed to it. Well of course, weather and events plays an important role to choose a color as well but responsive factor is one of the most important one.

Color also demonstrates our mood. Since we choose the color subconsciously, a lot of emotional and mental reflections are mirrored through our choices. In fact, several facts have shown that the choice of colors of the clothes we wear can reveal out strength and weakness as they are a part of our personality itself. It has been seen that color helps us to have a confidence boost and such positive and enriching outlook helps us in various situations. Color reveals the subtleness of the mind. We often judge by what they wear and color establishes a strong foot on the judgement. For example, for a party we would prefer sequin gold and strong colors while for a board meeting we would prefer a soft brown or basic black. Thus it helps us to construe the circumstance and is a form of art.

Apart from other occasions, there are some colors which we always stick to or prefer whenever we are picking up clothes for buying. You must have noticed that we are attracted of blue most of the time or pink and this color reveals a lot about the personality you have.

Even while online shopping, we use the ‘Color’ filter and shortlist as per the color quite a lot of times.

So let’s check out which color of your choice of dressing says what about your personality.

Blue – Blue has a hint of elusiveness, delicacy and state of peace in it. It indicates that the person has a sense of loyalty towards the thing which one loves. It also depicts a hint of intenseness and mystery when wore as an attire. This color is best suited for introverts. The color blue also defines a sense of ‘control’ and calmness as well as confidence without any aggressive touch in it.

Red – Red is a very powerful color in itself. It reveals about a personality that the person is extremely extrovert, passionate, energetic as well as bold. Though we can’t call the color loud but it definitely screams some kind of attention and attraction in very possible way. In fact, it resembles of a shining gorgeous ruby. The red color speaks louder than we can’t imagine and thus it is best to stay away from this color especially for formal purpose like interview or meetings.

Pink – We always associate this color with girls or anything feminine. It is a color which shows that the person is very lovable and soft hearted who is loved and liked by all. it also symbolized unconditional love and affection as well. Someone with a sweet, charismatic and cheerful personality with an intuitive mind would be inclined towards this playful color.

White – White illustrates a sign of simplicity, purity, goodness and cleanliness and reflects a positive effect in an overall appearance. People wearing white are mostly open, well-spirited, genuine and confident. It is also one of the best option when you are attending an interview, meeting or anything professional.

Black – A lot of us subconsciously pick up this color whenever they have options or not. It is the most sophisticated, versatile and gracious color for every occasion. It sends out a strong sense of power, control and authority without being loud or garish. It shows that the person is extremely in control, strong willed and self-independent in his or her own way. Further, it also establishes the strength and dignity.

So, which is your favorite color?

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 🙂

Best Off Screen Looks of Sonam Kapoor

By Nidhal

In the rule book of fashion, if there is one person whose name will be etched in golden alphabets, it will be without any iota of doubt, Sonam Kapoor. Since the day she stepped into B-wood, while many have questioned her acting and PR skills, no one can turn a blind eye to her impeccable sense of style and fashion. She is one sure-shot head-turner 🙂

Be it her casual looks, red carpet appearances, ethnic ensemble or ramp apparel, she keeps one bewitched. A personal favourite of the fashion police, let us have a look at the top 5 off-screen avatars of Sonam Kapoor when she left us gasping for more

1. ON THE STREETS OF MELBOURNE- Strolling the captivating streets of Melbourne and later attending a press conference with her father Anil Kapoor in absolute style, Sonam opted for a black LBD that not only looks casual but also professional. Unique, right? With her luscious brown locks loose and radiant skin, she surely set a lot of hearts fluttering.

2. DAY 2 OF CANNES 2013 – Sashaying down the red carpet of Cannes Film Festival 2013 on Day 2 in a custom made floral Dolce and Gabbana gown at the Jeune et Jolie premiere, Sonam raised the glam quotient of the event without going overboard thanks to her minimal makeup and accessories. The dress has a corset bodice with a voluminous skirt. And the print looks feminine, chic and quirky. It goes without saying that Sonam looked effortlessly drop-dead gorgeous.

3. AIRPORT LOOK- In one word, Sonam looks exquisite. Swaddled in a nude dress and black coat, with poker straight hair, nerdy glasses and black boots, she looks dressed like a French lady. Fashionable but not trying too hard to cast an impression- well, these things surely come naturally to this leggy lass.

4. PRDP PROMOTIONS DESI STYLE- In keeping with the underlying theme of Director Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo, Sonam opted for ethnic attire for the promotions of the film. See here is Sonam swaddled in an ethnic attire by Radha Vakil and jewellery by Sunita Kapoor.

5. IIJW 2015 RAMP – With a flair to pull off most attires in the most flattering way, Sonam Kapoor defined regal as she wore an ornate Shyamal and Bhumika lehenga at the IIJW 2015 show for Birdhichand jewellers. And the dupatta that trailed behind her as she sashayed down the ramp, added all the drama a showstopper’s outfit can ask for

6. AT KHOOBSURAT’S TRAILER LAUNCH- Her attire (and co-star) is exactly what the movie’s title is –Khoobsurat 🙂 Opting for a black and white monochrome printed Toni Maticevski at the trailer launch of Khoobsurat, Sonam looked drop-dead gorgeous.

7. IN AN ABU-JANI SANDEEP KHOSLA SAREE- Resplendent – in one word, Sonam’s look during the promotions of Neerja when she swaddled herself in an Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla saree was magnificent. In fact, everything about this look is on point be it her hair style, makeup or choice of accessories. That’s how you style a saree.
