Lakme Fashion Week started off with a show commemorating 50 years of Barbie. Several Indian designers had previously submitted their designs as to how they would dress the doll and the winning design would be then be worn by former model and now actress Katrina Kaif.

The show started off with Walushca Robinson in a pink Vikram Phadnis creation (already seen on Priyanka at the last LFW -see inside) and with models showcasing more outfits by various other designers. The winning design was Nishka Lulla’s, whose design was a tiered mini with a brocade bodice (as seen on Katrina). The best part of the show though was Waluscha’s daughter Chanel who while wearing a net gown designed by ‘The Shirt Company’ accompanied her mother on the ramp. So Awwwww.

The Shiney Effect

Blame it on Shiney, who took his name a little bit too seriously and then sparked off the shiny suit trend. Maybe, the material looks good when no flashbulbs are around, but our request to the fine folks who don these suits is that they wear it only when they know there will be no camera folks attending. Because, having to look at them in it in pictures is pure torture.

Coming to the point, Bachchan Jr., joined the bandwagon too, but thankfully wore black pants. Although he didn’t look as ridiculous as the others, we still would have preferred it if he had given the jacket a complete miss, altogether!

P.S. Did we blind you with this post? ;)

Spotted Kareena in a red grecian tube top paired with her denims for an Airtel event and then later going super casual while catching a movie with her beau!

Its not everyday we see her dressed down and have to say we love it. Her look from the premiere is simple, casual and still chic. I for one love that stole/shawl paired with the mauve tee.

A dressed down Sonam Kapoor attended the International Herald Tribune Sustainable Luxury 2009 conference bash in Delhi and was spotted rubbing shoulders with Italian designer Roberto Cavalli.

Now, a kiss from the designer we don’t want. His clothes, we so do!

P.S. Sonam is not wearing a Cavalli but a dress that she picked up from a flea market in NYC (As told to TOI).

On The Fence

We know that Loveleen has quite an eclectic taste when it comes to her clothes but we are on the fence with this. It is an interesting take on ‘ethnic’ and while there’s something interesting about the look, there’s also something missing. Those shoes for one just don’t work but then the colors look lovely on her. Also, if at least one of the two pieces (either the skirt or the blouse, ideally the blouse) was more fitting, it’d give her a better shape.

Didn’t I say we were on the fence with this one…
