In Neeta Lulla
Charmme opted for a Neeta Lulla lehenga to wear to the Apsara Awards pairing it with gold earrings and a sparkly clutch. While I love the color combo of the lehenga, the embroidered pattern also featuring on the skirt made the overall look feel very busy.
Like her red carpet look?

…when you reach a point of no return
I have to say Iam a little disappointed with how the whole Indian fashion scene has turned out. I had expected a little more creativity and originality. But its all peplums and high lows if it’s Western. Voluminuous skirts and veils with copius amounts of embroidery if Indian.
Sabya started out a little different but his collections have recently been more of the same. The only designer that shows a little promise is Anita Dongre.
How about playing with fabric (and please no more Leather saris) incorporating something fun and unexpected. Like a Linen kurta with minimal (emphasis on minimal) leather piping. or having a South Indian zari bordered western gown. Please anything other than floor length anarkalis and bikini cholis.
Maybe even a salwar with the duppatta attached in a way that wouldnt be possible if it were separate? How about some pleated material in the salwars, A line in front, pleats in the back? Maybe a formal Western dress with pom poms?
Come on designers you have so much fabric and so many wearing styles to play with! Dazzle us!
Completely agree. The last line nailed it. Each outfit now seems like a a modified version of another designer’s collection. And this outfit really seems like a Neeta Lulla version of Payal Khandwala collection. Seriously. There is a hell lot to play with when it comes to designs and fabrics. We are seldom bowled over. Sometimes only the face of the wearer and her/his attitude salvage the look.
Y dn’t u turn into a designer..noo wait…..nvr evr bcum a designer.!
Such a hateful comment. What makes you say that she should never become a designer but you can correct her by your self righteous attitude. Very mean.
Nothing personal n mean..Had it been so, dn PnP wud hv moderated it! I hv seen on HHC pages itself where designers hv made gowns out of kanjeevaram sarees n results vr awful..it ws like destroying d beautiful handloom saree..cuming to attached dupattas to salwars, to me atleast it makes no sense..yess salwar(bottom wear) is d word used in above comment. If she meant kurta(top wear) dn dats a different thing thou market is already flooded with such designs bt point here is d person who cn’t differentiate btwn kurta n salwars wud actually b able to handle clients efficiently?? Cumon dese r basics! N western wear wid pom poms..sorry!
Here in this case a pink Maharashtrian pathani sari is ruined and tortured to the max. RIP the sari.
@MoniPal At least Iam out there throwing out suggestions instead of just negating what others are saying. Where are your ideas? I’d like to hear them.
One item I would like to see is a Crossword puzzle skirt with uplifting Sanskrit words in it. Bonus points for incorporating embroidery and mirrors.
@Fashion Compassion- I favour smart silhouettes such as wel fitted straight cut floor length kurta in raw silk having front slit paired with brocade pencil trouser or a brocade waist length jacket in western cut (like two button suit) paired with plain silk skirt/lehenga. I prefer rich fabrics over embroideries.
PS. M happy in my current job :)
More than the outfit, her expression is hilarious! “get me outta here” :-)
LOL.
Ms.Manchu, Ms Charmee all in the same league – Always Tacktastic.
for once i would like her to sport something simple. she should have skipped these earrings. and a different hairdo.
Plenty of fabulous designers in India, undoubted.y. But they are stuck creating for a market that wants the same old, same old. Many comments on this platform reflects the same mindset. So, what is a talented Indian designer to do?
Customers get the designers they deserve.
Yikes.
Designer. No clue.
Stylist no clue
Makeup no clue.
And those eyebrows ! Need to go
