At The National Film Awards

Priyanka Chopra accepted her National Award for Best Actress in ‘Fashion’ wearing what I suspect is a Manish Malhotra sari. There were many aspects about her look that left me disappointed. Firstly, the color really didn’t stand out, the extensions were back (how I wished she had skipped them altogether!) and my biggest complain was that considering this was a National Awards ceremony and not a glitzy Filmfare awards, I would have rather seen her wear an outfit that was more demure in nature and packed more punch via color.

P.S. On an aside, there was a big ‘awww’ moment when she gave a kid (a fan) a huge hug after collecting her award.

Wearing a self-designed black anarkali, Kangana accepted the National Awards for Best Supporting Actress in ‘Fashion’ last night in New Delhi. Until I find a better full-length pic, here is a first look but I have to add that between her and Priyanka (who wore a light colored sari) Kangana stole the show.

P.S. I spoke to her for a few seconds and her first reaction was “Oh, you are going to write about this tomm.” But, of course, Kangana! :)

P.P.S. Just to clarify, I was surprised that Kangana was aware of our blog and that we’d be covering this too which we did. She was very gracious and may I repeat again, looked lovely in black.

Red Hot. Or Not?

Okay, so Ameesha hasn’t strayed far from her comfort zone… it’s yet another appearance of hers in a short lil’ number… question though is, does it earn her a ‘Red Hot’ this time around?

Not Quite

I wear pointy-toed pumps all the time but just don’t get the fascination with these super long pointy-toed shoes! They need to be out-lawed… so unsightly. Yes, they happen to be a major pet-peeve of ours.

Vikram Phadnis: LFW Summer/Resort 2010

When the only noteworthy thing about a showing is the models’ head-gear and when that too looked grossly mis-styled/mis-placed with the collection in question, it can’t bear good tidings for the designer. As trippy as the mogra was, the showing was anything but.

Unimaginative designs, uninspired collection. And at various times, totally cringe-inducing.
