Doing Desi
Also in attendance (and walking the runway with others) at the recently held fundraiser was Ms. Chawla, wearing you guessed it… Vikram Phadnis. The clothes at this event (even if especially designed for a worthy cause) were hard to get excited about, and this lehenga was no exception. Here’s hoping we have another sighting of the gorgeous Dior exec soon so we can all forget we ever saw this.

Can you please stop covering this event and all the ugly blingy ass clothes? My head hurts.
Girls, take note! Only allowed to play ‘the bride’ on your wedding day! ok. Ok!
The lehenga gives a Manish Malhotra+Anamika Khanna vibe. :/ And Vikram Phandis of course.
This is just awful. My eyes my eyes! And she should should have really left that maang tika at home.
This is just too much!..not working!
I don’t care for the hair piece but the colour and outfit is reallyyy lovely .. Should have gone easy on the accessory …
Who is she? The bloggers friend or some distant relative?
she looks great ! indian princess :)
Was there a pre-condition to only wear these ugly ugly ugly clothes by this one ‘designer’ in order to get invited to this event?
I would rather have sat at home wearing track pants than do so (if I’d been invited, obviously not in this lifetime!).
What on earth! I go away for a couple of days and come back to find this on these pages?
Rajasthani bride ????
When it’s not your wedding or your relatives. ..head ornaments, those clothes ? Really? She has no excuse to be dressed like this. Can’t believe she comes from the Dior team.
Agreed, such a disgrace to Dior!
Granted the outfit is super tacky – but you have to admit she looks good :))) Ok – I am biased
I think Phadnis is a closet misogynist, why would make perfect gorgeous and left-to-themselves stylish women look like this..I’m thinking of all the rakshasis in Amar Chitra Katha comics.
What is a ‘left-to-themself’ person?
This is a hot mess! Too much and too disheveled.
She’s working this.. Looks great!!
Pardon my ignorance ,but your write up says Ms. Chawla and the caption says Kalyani Saha. Are they the same person?
Her name is Kalyani Saha Chawla, hence :)
What, she has light eyes now?
She looks so b’ful .. Outfit is nothing special but that headpiece I want !!!!!!
I think it’s important to dress for your age and that maang tika is not appropriate on her. Fail.
I can’t believe he created such a mess with Indian legenga and agree with others don’t just dress up like bride and walkaway anywhere you want , ridiculous !!
i think she looks beautiful!
who said they have to dress their age?? she look way way younger and with no surgery or anything at all except for homemade grandma recipes!
she look lovely as always and its not tacky but elegant!
