A Different Drape

Comment image 54


I hope Priyanka wasn’t thinking that the only way to change up her same-ole Manish Malhotra sari was to change the way to drape it. We didn’t like it one bit. The drape that is. As for the sari, we’ve just seen to many of them already to appreciate it anymore.

  1. LOVE the sari. LOVE LOVE LOVE. The drape looks a little tacky but I think PC carries it off and takes it from cheap to smoulderingly sexy quite effortlessly

  2. Oh Gooooooooooooooood please somebody tell these starlets to wear saree properly. I really want to scream. This is the culmination of all the boob showing trend and I just cannot take it anymore lol And seriously Priyanka why repeat this saree we have seen already so many times. Gawd one hell of a boring look this is.

  6. Love thw Sari.It is one of the Manish Malhotra crrestions that I truely like. Very elegants. Also glad that the blouse looks like a blouse & not a bra. Now after all those positives, why did she have to ruin it with the drape!!!!

  7. I love her blouse though.
    yes… wish they realise how sexy it would be draped the traditional way. if u want to show off ur toned stomach, wear a lehenga.

  8. I am glad she has gained a little bit of weight. and finally looks healthier than she has in a long time. but not really excited about the drape.

  9. @ chic chick according to Meriem websters dictionary definition of starlet “a young movie actress being coached and publicized for starring roles” So please excuse me if I don’t understand what is that you are asking me? :) I may not be dictionary correct but I meant female stars by that. I wasn’t aware of any negative connotation of this word. If there is please enlighten me. Whether she has a toned body or not I don’t care. I just don’t like ppl draping it that way and this is the worst example of it. Its my opinion just like you have yours.

  10. That is just plain old TACKY. Why dishonor the sari in such a way? If you want to show off your body, then wear some flashy western outfit.

    Plus the sari looks like some costume from a film set.

  11. umm.. did PC think she will give everyone in gowns a go for their money by draping the saree like that! how cheap.. this girl never gives up, does she.. and shes not even ashamed of doing this again and again.. if its not a figure hugging cant breathe gown, its a saree draped like this..

  12. She looks nice but nice in an Ekta Kapoor serial kinda way, not how an A’ list actress should be seen on the green carpet. It’s still nice though – i love the colour of the sari and i don’t mind the drape either…. but piggy chops can do MUCH better!

  13. wow i love the sari priyanka’s wearing(not priyanka in it!) – its elegant not glittery as in the other million saris influenced by bollyland

  14. Her face looks gorgeous but can’t she choose which part of her body she wants to show off? A little can look sexy, but revealing everything together is plain tacky! PC, we’ve seen everything you have to show so please leave the cleavage-flaunting to the beach!

  16. I like the saree and the blouse, she looks good, but I hate the way the saree is draped, this whole one breast out look kills the elegant look one gets with a saree.

  17. Don’t see why ppl are so rigid about draping. PC looks amazing. That said, yeah, would have been nice to see her in something other than MM…but she’s currently working with him on a film, so she probably didn’t have much choice!!

  18. whatever happened to good old sari drapes. sure she has a perfectly toned body, but does ti have to be displayed aaaaaall the time? the sari can be demurely sexy and smouldering. this drape is just too OTT tacky. Probably would have been better with a normal drape. take a leaf from Sharmila Tagore’s book….

  19. Pavani a starlet is star in the making, that’s what being coached for roles means. A starlet is a of a minor/ future star (according to princeton dictionary). Hence the suffix ‘let’. Needless to say PC is a star NOT a starlet. And I’m sorry if you thought the bit about her being able to drape it however she wants was targeted against what you said. Because it was not, I was just voicing my opinion that a woman who has got it should be able to flaunt it, and not arguing with what you said. Anyway I was just pointing i out, as a die-hard PC fan, that she was a star not a starlet, I was not trying to insult you

  20. I love the sari and the way it has been draped. I don’t understand this bhainjee mentality of how the drape should always cover the boobs. But imo the lip color is too dark, the hairstyle is dated and the blouse is so mallika sherawat.

  21. I don’t like the sari drape. ruined a wonderful sari. that being said, love her body and the color on her. so at first i thought tacky and then it’s grown on me a lot.

  22. She might as well have come to IIFA in her fav micro minis!!! What was she thinking, that is a shame to our traditional clothing, I feel like pulling my hair out….OMG! That is pure trash!
    I like Priyanka quite a bit but that is so not acceptable, that is so much skin show done so indecently!!! I feel like pulling my hair out!!!!! What was she really thinking arghhhhhh……………..

  23. Wow what a great way to spoil a beautiful saree. Priyanka needs to take lessons from Ash on how to wear saree the right way….she just keeps doing this all the time doesn’t she! Gosh how trashy!

  24. I’m sad. This honestly… is very bad. At least when Mallika Sherawat wants to show off her cleavage and toned stomach she wears a lengha. Priyanka completely ruined the sari. “She’s toned so why can’t she wear it however she wants” was a question someone asked…

    1.) It is not event appropriate to wear a bikini to a red carpet event no matter how toned you are. Therefore, being toned is not an excuse for wearing a sari in this manner.

    She looks atrocious really.

  25. she looks gorgeous but am tired of seeing manish’s creations ..they all look the same and are so boring..why cant actresses experiment like how sonam does

    Reply
  26. …did she want to show off the blouse? me thinks yes
    but who cares, it ruins the whole look (and I’m no anuty, but I DO think that the beauty of a saree exsits in it’s drape and the graceful line that it creates, very feminine and sexy- this is sooooo… tacky Bollywood)
    and really, HOW MANY TIMES will we see sarees in this vien from MM! man seems to be in a rut

  27. love the saree but she looks like a tramp..if you’ve got it flaut it is not the best way to go sometimes..cant believe she has done this..i mean such a pretty saree, such a pretty gal, great hair make up everything..honestly what cud possible go wrong with the look..but no priyanka goes out of her way to prove what cud go wrong

  28. yuck
    ugly sari and possibly the one of the worst drapes i have seen
    cuz not only is it tackily revealing it also looks messy – like someone just gathered the pallu and put it across the shoulder as an afterthought

    terrible terrible terrible

  29. hahhahaha @prem rogue. This trend is getting old already! No good reason for why it came up in the first place, there are other ways of making a sari super hot, this just looks like she was draping her sari and was caught in the act! Disgusting!

  30. Ewwww, way to ruin a good sari by tacky draping! UGH
    First of all, the blouse doesn’t match the sari ONE BIT.
    Secondly, the HAIR! What’s up with the hair on one side look, they look too stiff and hairsprayed upon.
    Third, BAD DRAPE, she is an awesome actress, with zero style quotient.

  31. @chick chic you need to relax the die hard fan a bit. Like I said I only used that word to mean a female star. That’s all. I am guilty of not being dictionary correct which I already confessed. And I used plural that is I did not only mean Priyanka. My bad. i will get a dictionary before posting on this site.

  32. god .. why do they do this to a sari.. I am 110% sure that if she had draped the saree properly she would have looked beautiful and sexy …but she look strashy here… I just feel like getting into my computer screen and correcting her drape.. that’s how irritated I am looking at this drape!!!

  33. I am forced to comment yet again…coz I was having nightmare all night yesterday as Priyanka’s look kepts flashing in my dream/nmare!!! I cannot seriously beleive she made the saree look so trash, even Nicole of Pussy Cat Dolls wore it better, which is saying a lot!
    Bad, bad, bad, bad, trash,trash,trash.,trash, chameli,chameli,chameli…….I am seriously disturbed by the sight of her!
