Business As Usual
Sunny Madrid saw Aishwarya in an informal pinstripe suit. Although it wasn’t too warm there either, we would have loved to see Aishwarya wear something more feminine.

That suit is ill-fitted and does NOTHING for her…plus its soooo not weather appropriate!
Totally!!…a nice summer dress would’ve been so much more appropriate, besides it looks like she borrowed the suit from Abhi’s closet…tch,tch…when will u learn the basics Ms Rai?
This does not look like the Ash of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam or even more recently…Dhoom2. The suit seems ill-fitting…puffy and bloated appearance :(
Ash….O Sister, where art thou?!!!!
I meant “ill-fitting”! *blushes*
Ewwwww..what on earth is she wearing..an outdated wrinkly grey suit thats a pain to the eye!
uugghh… whats going on with Ash!?! does she not have a stylist. she is for the most part, inappropriately dress for the weather, occassion, her weight, location…. she looks terrible here:(
That is such an ill-fitting suit.If she was wearing wide-leg pants, at least the jacket should have been cut closer to the body. This outfit looks like a sack.
The makeup is decent, but what’s with the hair?
beyond awful!
Hey, at least Steve Martin’s pants are wrinkly, too, so she’s not alone! Pudgy face but still very pretty and I like the new hair cut.
Agree with Su…very ill fitting suit indeed.
agree with everyone…
And moreover, this suit makes her look 15 pond more
type’O — 15 pounds
ash looks pregy… something is fishy. lately i am seeing her hiding her belly… i think we will get to know in couple of months wot is baking in her oven. LOLZ
What if she’s going through a fat phase? I’ve said this before too…I honestly think somethings wrong cuz I mean c’mon okay you gained weight so what? Bad fashion is not an excuse or a cover up…do something about it!
I mean does she look at her self when she leaves the room or hotel or her house??? She maybe doesnt have a mirrior!!
Honestly the only logical explanation for this is that she hadn’t shaved her legs. Otherwise, WHY on earth would she wear this? EVER?!!
comeon wats wrong wid her neck up??i mean d 2nd pic of hers, she’s lokin damn gud…at least she hs chnged her look a bit!!!!n boy!m i thankful 2 her for dat!!
@Enne
That was funny :D…
I second @ ritz…. something’s fishy here
I think her stylist is secretly jealous of her and is out to make her look bad. Ash, for her part, goes on auto-pilot when she has to make a public appearance so doesn’t notice it.
Has anyone ever considered that maybe this girl just doesn’t have any fashion sense? Just ’cause you used to be a model doesn’t meant you know how to dress. She fits right into her new family, I mean look at her dad in law, who gets one hit after 30 misses.
But at least they got the make-up right. See, I told you guy in the PP2 premiere post…the stylist always gets exactly one thing right…either the make-up, or the hair, or the dress – but never all three at the same time. It must be a tactic to get at least something right so that s/he doesn’t lose his/her job. I’m telling you, this stylist is out to get her for some reason.
Whops typo…my previous post should read ‘I told you guys’. You see? I’m frothing at the mouth so much that I can’t function properly. It is a CRIME to make such a drop-dead gorgeous lady look bad.
Is this just me or she has been wearing weird eye makeup lately. I noticed in her pink panther (Black gown) pics also that her left eye was different than her right eye. Is it her makeup or is it because she is lifting her left eyebrow? {Or I am just a jealous old lady.}
Her hair style looks very good though..
@Enne’s lol..
scarrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
i like the outfit! the suit isnt supposed to be a traditional one!!!!!! the pants are supposed to fall like that.
honestlyyy give her a break! i get soo annoyed when ppl alwaysssssssss criticize her.
sure she isnt wearing what you’d like her to. so what? atleast she looks good in what she’s wearing!
i hope the whole series of ash-bashing doesnt continue into this post too!
koel, Aish always had significant asymmetry in her face. Just like Bipasha. I remember her interviews after the Miss World where she talks about it (as imperfections) and how she is very conscious about it. so I doubt it is just the makeup. :)
i’m actually ok with the suit it’s just a photocall (i really like the neck of the jacket)
but i do think her face is starting to look a little different
not as fresh
but then can’t expect her to look drop dead gorgeous always
I hate the double standards people have regarding Ash.People were criticizing Freida for being all over the place for a 15 minute role;its still much better than the blink and miss role Ash has in Pink Panther.She has been given a miss in all reviews of the movie too.Plus,Freida looks goood in all her appearances(most anyway) but if Ash is criticized for wearing a ridiculous suit,its termed ash-bashing
I don’t even know what to say.
She looks like an old overweight aunty! Her days of the “most beautiful woman” are long gone.
@ k= Nobody is bashing Ash. Everyone agrees that she is beyond beautiful. Most of us are just unhappy that such a gorgeous woman should wear such frumpy clothes…hell, some are even angry at her sodding stylist. Also, we are allowed to make the occassional sarcastic comments here on this blog..thats what makes it fun. As for the haters…all celebrities have their own set…its a sign of stardom. :)
@P: i dont knw whether you were talking about me in particular, but for your info… ive even liked frieda in her chanel (plastic) outfit! and ive put in positive comments too.
well here goes anotherrrrrrr freida and ash comparison! its like comparing like comparing a plant to a full grown tree!!
another thing.. ive criticized some of ash’s clothes too. but in this case, there is nothing wrong with what she’s wearing. sure she isnt wearing a conventional dress as you might have liked her to (??) but atleast she looks stunning!!!
@debs: ‘nobody is bashing ash’?? have u read some of the comments in the previous posts?? i
@k=,The comment isn’t directed at you.My point is that most comments on Freida’s posts are about how she doesn’t deserve all the success.Ash sure has years of work in Bollywood behind her but we all have to accept that globally,she hasn’t made that much of an impact.Freida is sure a lucky gal,rising to fame in such a short span but I hate it when people say she doesn’t deserve it .I am glad you like the suit,I am sorry I still think its ridiculous and not for her body type.She can do much better
I think she is pregnant… She is huge!
she looks scary!!
Bash Ash and be Fida on Frieda
————————————-
Criticizing celebrities makes me really happy so, I am going to do it no matter how immoral it is.
(Bashing my Mother in law is a different ball game..
Please don’t tell her that I told you any thing… )
common guys its just a formal photo call … the suit is great and very apt for the occasion … havnt u guys seen her pic with a suit on for LĂ³rel photo calls before …
she can hardly have a breath of fresh air … russia , us , canada , france spain germany … one after the other … do u guys think its an easy job …
she looks perfect .. and shes happy about it …
check the rest of the pics on gossipgirl site … yes i agree her eyes look swollen ..if u are traveling non stop for 2 weeks bet how u end up ..
lol at koel’s comment
why is she so boring?
something’s wrong – I blame her stupid stylist. Or lack of sleep. but i wonder if her schedule is sooo jam packed that there’s no time to sleep?? I am beginning to feel Ash is losing interest and has simply stopped trying.. she doesn’t need to I guess…
lack of sleep clearly shows. but i have never seen ash this fat and she looked her usual weight just a few weeks ago. this whole series is worse than her canne phase where atleast she looked good as a person.
it isnt abt the weight at all(though unsual and so it shocks us), a good dress and right make up would have done wonders.
She is looking so unnatural in the close up pic..what’s wrong with her face???
Ladys and others, you heard from me first and here, I think she is pregnant and that explains the tired eye and lose clothing that she has been seen wearing for the past few days, I think the reason why her eyes are sink in is pregnancy as well, I can swear a dollar in dime (is that how you say it lol) that she is PREGNANT
Something is REALLY off about her face. That’s the first thing that stood out.
Other than that, the suit is nice… but I would’ve liked a nice, simple spring dress….
@koel
I have a mother in law too, she always goes through my make up stuff and gets my things gosh
someone got a new haircut?
very Priyanka like !
Meow, the bashers are out in full force again. I’m not crazy about the suit. But is is nothing outrageously bad. She looks very tired from the constant traveling for the promotions.
@P, you are wrong about Aishwarya having a blink and miss role in PP2. My friend saw it and he said Aishwarya is one of the main characters. She is on screen for about 50 minutes in the movie. The reason why the reviews are barely mentioning her is that it would give away the climax. I hate slaptick so I’ll pass on PP2.
Let’s see what Aishwarya wears on the Tyra Bank’s show on Thursday. Hopefully she wears a stylish outfit.
Maybe she borrowed it from her hubby Abhi!! what a disaster!!
Ugh, that suit is hideous, there’s no excuse for a bad suit. And what wrong with a little colour? PP2 is a light hearted movie (and probably not one that’s going to do very well), she should take advantage of the spotlight wear some GOOD memorable + colourful pieces. Looks like she might have had some filler injections done, making her face puffy.
ok here’s my question…it’s been said that she’s signed new films and has yet to complete her current two movies so can she plan on a pregnancy despite having so many commitments? just curious!!
Whatever happened to her??
Umm bad choice of suit! Ewww!
either shes a really simple person and doesnt care what’s in style or how soemthing looks on her or she really does not have any taste. notice how she only wears her religious rings and not her ginormous engagement ring. out of all the actresses she probabaly makes the most money and can afford anything , but doesnt indulge in name dropping .
i am no advocate of aishwarya , i’m only trying to understand why she dresses the way she does.
The shorter hair looks great ! Makes me wanna chop mine off…
It’s a pretty bad fashion choice. But it’s suggestive of her personality. I think she just can’t be bothered to spend ages on looking perfect.
She’s always been known as the most beautiful woman in the world so she kinda knows she’ll look great in anything.
@Rashmi, maybe the pregnancy (if true) was not planned? I think there might be some truth to the pregnancy rumour here. Notice that she has stopped dyeing her hair and that she didn’t take that heavy velvet coat off during the Le Grand Journal interview.
OK I feel kind of guilty speculating about all this, so back to fashion. I love her hairstyle with the middle part. It looks fabulous on her!
IMO she is dressed like a 60 year old (reminded me of Helen Mirren and Diane Keaton!).
Style differs from person to person, so obviously some people like this look and some don’t and to term people who don’t like the LOOK (not talking abt the woman at all) Ash-haters is unfair. FYI I loved her look at the PP2 premier.
Oh my, she needs to fire her stylist. She should have worn jeans with that jacket, would have been more appropriate. I have better suits in my closet. Good make-up though.
jessica simpson wore a similar suit in white for some awards a couple of years back.. wud love to see her in something like that, linen suit.. specally in the sun!
sometimes her hairs r short … in another week its pretty long ….. sometimes her eyes r blue n then its greenish blue ………SHE IS SO FAKE …… n her pants!!!! really needs to fire the stylist after this :D
gosh so many replies.. if ash will see these she will never ever would dare to come out in suits again .
Is it me .. or is her hair style looks like that of Planet of Apes ?
In the close-up pic… her hair and chin actually reminds me of her PA-IN-LAW for some weird reason! :D
gosh! I am tired and I need some coffeeee!!
Compared to Ash in these pictures, Madhuri loks way better in the previously posted sari pictures.
she looks pregnant to me….
seriously i see the baby bulge.. thats why she is wearing empire dresses and buttoned up jackets i guess…
otherwise what other explantion for such bad dress sense….
she looks old and fat
i think she looks angelic neck up.
Ick, the whole look is just awful. I don’t understand why she doesn’t have a great stylist by now. It’s not like she can’t afford it!
pregnant or not, i dont think its fair to judge a book by its cover.
what i don’t get is – why are they still promoting a movie that everyone is calling “one of the worst movies ever” and esp.why is Ash doing it after her performance has been called “wooden” & “laughable” ?
also, i think she looks better now, after she has put on a little weight !
Prem Rogue, whether the pregnancy (if true) was planned or not, I think the two movies she has signed can wait or may go to other actresses as they have not started shooting. As for her current movies, I heard Robot is almost complete and so is Ravana. So that means by the time it shows (i mean the bump) she will have completed the two movies and then can relax…oh i hope this rumor is TRUE. She’s already 35 so it’ll be better for her sooner than later. :)
she looks bloated – but that cud be because of the trip.. i agree..
but the suit is making her look chunky. pinstripes only work if u are skinny and well toned and also the stripes have to be much closer IMO… a black tux type of suit with some cleavage and a longer jacket might have looked hot!
maybe she is preggo – but she always look fat and thin in a matter of days.. so u never know!
btw if its the stylist he/she shud be fired – this is a very gramma-executive type of suit!
lol @cp – I was thinking that too and didn’t say anything so I dont get bashed by some die-hard fans… hahahaha
Whoever the hell said that Ashwairiya’s dress sense was perfect was ABSOLUTELY wrong…we all tend to err sometimes on the side of fashion. I reckon she just wasnt in the moodz…and couldnt give two hoots what she wore and how she looked. Her face looks so puffy btw…
Oooh all that Pregnancy rumours!! Touchwood…let that be true. I would love to see their expanding family.
As for the style here, she is fine. Nothing bad to go about bashing. And yes in the Martha Stewart show she did mention about lots of travel all in one week. So that might explain all the shortcomings.
I like it. Different.
@cp the second picture totally reminded me of planet of apes as well. She looks like a pretty 50 year old auntie.
@cp, I knew there was something weird about the hair and you got it spot on! I couldn’t stop laughing when I read your comment!
A pin strip suit can look perfectly feminine ..provided its the right cut..there are so many nice ones out there!! why did she have to choose this ill-fitted one!!
She looks a little different in the face, although very pretty. For a change, it’s nice to see her in a pant-suit. It looks OK, not the best. I wish the pants were slimmer.
we can blame her stylist all we want, but the lady has no fashion sense to call her own either. it takes some to choose the right stylist/ designer. doesn’t anyone remmeber her disastrous appearances at cannes from a few years ago where neeta lulla did her some disservice? but then again this woman can make even the best designer clothes look bad- how come she manages to look frumpy in a red dior or a black albeta feretti while a little plant (in someone else’s words from these posts :-)) like freida pinto manages to get it right and carry off every look with such elan and aplomb….face it, it has to do with her. Beauty alone is not enough if you don’t have the class, attitude and body to carry haute couture. The lesses said about this suit the better…it loks like it was picked up from the discount bin at Talbot’s or Bolton’s or even Lane Bryant!!
WOW! she looks absolutely STUNNING in the 2nd pic. the suit is a disaster. here’s a woman who does not need a loaded husband 2 buy an Armani (or equivalent) suit but NO, she has 2 appear in this monstrosity. the top part aint that bad. but the trousers! OMG!
@ all those who think Ash’s pregnant, u might be onto something here, but how do u explain her body hugging tunic and EXTREMELY tight jeans on The Martha Stewart Show??
Why don’t people get over her. Yeesh. She’s an attractive woman, but I see so many attractive women on the street each day. The ‘most beautiful woman in the world’- marketing surrounding this woman is incredible. I’m not buying it, unfortunately.
She looks really cute here though. Great smile. Looking fatigued, but there’s an inner sparkle. As for the outfit; if only it had fitted well, it would’ve looked great!!
oh and I feel sorry for her stuck between those old fogies :(
Doubt she is preggers- it could explain the weight gain, need to wear loose clothing and puffiness. but i doubt she would be travelling sooo much in her first trimester- it really wouldn’t be safe for the baby! and I am sure her family and her would be aware of that. PP2 aint that important.
i heard somewhere she is gaining wt for a mommy role coming up soon. but wt gain or not, there is nothing that explains the hideous suit, Even if you’re super tired and travelling all over the world, there is no excuse to chose this monstrosity. a pair of jeans, crisp white shirt and louboutins would’ve worked wayyy better than this!!
even my MOM htought she was pregnant (alhtough, Ash is always glowing)
but but but…that’s either MAJOR bloating or sheis definitely pregnant
horrible suit though
Every few months there’s rumour of Ash being pregnant.
I doubt she is. She has movies lined up and I think once she finishes those she’ll have children. I think that’s her plan.
And there were hundreds of pics from this event. You guys post some of the worse ones.
Ooh. Thanks Aly. That reminded me to post some more pics!
I like her new hair cut, the suit is OK, what ruins it in my opinion are the cuffs.
I don’t like her look….
n nope she’s not preggers!!! lol
my heart sinks..why does this beauty hide under granny clothes? why, oh why is she doing such a disservice to herself.gosh, she needs a stylist pronto…someone who cherishes her and brings out her best.
I think its very informal executive type. I think the suit is nice. It does not work for her.. she does not look OLD, she looks 35 !!! and there only as much anyone can hide!
Wow, is this like the post with the most comments EVER? I don’t think Ive ever seen triple digits for any other entry before. If so, congrats you guys :)
wow…….so many ash haters n yet this one gets 99 posts……says sumthing abt Ms. Rai’s popularity
BTW i think she’s looking very average….
WOW! 100 comments! impressive PnP. is this the 1st post to have invited 100 comments!?! i notice ash’s pix always cause a stir! speaks 2 her popularity eh?
the pants are really bad……i
OMG ! She is turning into Michael Jackson !
she looks scary…something to do with those eyes I suppose. I don’t know ….not sure, maybe she’s pregnant coz she definitely looks a bot weird!
I was never a fan of her dressing sense.
Adit, we are so sorry for having an opinion. Please excuse us.
she looks scary..old ew!
she lookslike female michael jackson
she looks good on the tyra banks show….maybe the shows have their own stylists (no one can trust ash to play dress-up on her own )!!
Hey @Adit,
Please stop name calling us and get back to name dropping (That you do now and then). We do not need to be beauty queens to have an opinion about a celebrity because guess what they are the celebrities and we are not.
I don’t think the look is all that bad.I like it…. and women in suits seem to be in fashion now….
everyone who thinks ash has a small role in pink panther are in for a big surprise…. wach the movie and then comment on her role… well with regards to the clothes… she can do much much better..
its ill fitted, makes her look fat somehow and broad. Her face look too filled in, maybe the makeup is also worng
she looks like a persian cat …. wrapped up in a sack!!!
Even with her delicate features this mannish jacket makes u double take to make sure it’s not Taylor Hanson…
