Parvathy at Cannes 2009: ‘Bright Star’ Premiere
Former Miss India Parvathy Omanakuttan also walked the red carpet of the 2009 Cannes film festival on both day two and day three. I thought the black and white cut-out gown was way too pageant(y) and quite bad, but boy who knew it would only get worse. I am hoping that it is just a bad pic because that gold sequin gown looks awful on her!
The reign is over, Parvathy. Time to get out of the pageant clothes mode. Flashy ain’t always best!

Why oh whyy….. Mty eyes hurt…
Um…why is she even there? and who is her stylist. He/She needs to be fired ASAP!
*my
she looks good in both dresses.The dresses themselves are awful!
oh nooooooooooo!
Bad!!! i remember at some point she has looked good
Sad. LOL
such a gorgeous gal and such a bad choice of clothing!
the golden dress looks like a longer version of a top i have from express!!! :D
less said about the b&w dress is better.
not just the gown.. even the makeup is ghastly !
wow…
O_O
these people make Ash look like Audrey Hepburn
agree…too pageanty..surely she could have found better clothes..
black and white still looks better than the golden sequined dress….TOO FLASHY!
Lol. Well obviously you need zero fashion sense to be Miss India
UGH, it’s all so trashy looking. You’re not an LA socialite Parvathy!
The golden dress is so ill-fitting and ugly. The black one is equally bad. I remember how much flake Aishwariya got 2-3 years ago when she started going to Cannes..but compared to these girls (incl. Barbara Mori’s gold dress), Aish looked gorgeous even in those “bad” dresses.
The gold is bad, but I think the black & white gown flatters her shape/figure.
She looks so tacky O_O
She’s trying to be the “BRIGHT star” lol
both gowns are just awful! the cut off one resembles something from a late 90’s bollywood movie and she seems to give Bappi Lahiri a run for his blinginess with the gold dress…is she in a movie? why is she at cannes?
Wow. That gold dress is positively ugly. I mean it in itself is super ugly. WHY would she pick it out? Who picked it out for her? Why did she not protest and scream that she would rather go naked? WHY. Why do people do this? Why that gold dress? OH WHY!?
As for the black and white dress, I’m pretty sure I saw the exact same dress on a girl in my neighbourhood today. And no, she wasn’t fly out to Cannes, she was going to her high school prom. Sad. Sad. Sad….
Love her hair and makep but the clothes are super tacky. Don’t these women learn from watching others? How about hiring a stylist!!
Why her at the Cannes ?
What happened to Akshay, Priyanka, and Kareen at the Cannes this year ?
Btw.
I like her jewelery and makeup. The gold dress is very tacky. The B&W dress is ok. Very prom-bueaty queen-ish.
The black and white dress does not flatter her figure. She looks like a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ is imminent.
The gold dress is just plain old fugly.
The gold dress is kinda snake-like..and not in a good way lol and the black/white one is positively Yuck :S
btw why is she there anyway?
A SHOCKING disgrace!! There should be some sort of fashion committee which vets our Indian stars before they go abroad and crucify our reputation at high profile events!! LOL!!
I HATE the golden one. The black n white seems ok in comparison
omg shes beautiful but wth moment right here. two bad dresses.
I have only one word: TACKY.
hi, good to see myselft here on this page, yeah that was a remarkable experience of ma life… peace
LOL@all the comments. It’s her first time, and some took almost a decade to get close to getting it perfect. I thought Devon Aoki in blue-grey looked the best yesterday.
ewwwwwwww lol
Wow! Both those dresses are DISASTERS. Why would you even consent to something that unshapely, not to mention, horribly fitting? She looks as if she’s got no hips, this weird posture going on- not to mention AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF EXTRA FABRIC ON HER BACK. Shame.
the gold dress was probably handed on to her without any trials watsoever!!!!
its ughh
oh dear,the gold dress..why would she wear that?why?and her makeup is too pasty..she looks awful in the first picture..and the second one reminds me more of Cruella de Vil..
she is such a pretty face otherwise…but needs a good stylist and makeup artist.
Parvathy forgot it is Cannes and not Golden Globes!!
both outfits are a disaster. the least she could have done was to have the lining of the gold dress pressed.
the black and white almost seems tolerable after seeing the gold
HOW could ANYONE have thought that was a good choice?
very filmi both the pics…pose, outfit et al
The b/w gown is quite alright, but the gold sequinned one is ghastly! What was she thinking? And as if the sequins were not bad enough, the cut is awful.
Just look at the way she’s tucking her tummy in!
ewww.. is all i can say.. I mean how can anyone wear those gowns… its downright tacky .. Both are typical Bindu / Aruna Irani kind of dress that tehy used to wear for their item songs long back in tehir movies… And to think she was a miss World runner up !! I am angry at her for inexplicable reasons for dressing up like this .. though i know its none of my business !!
May be some 7 oddyears later she would get it right too!!!
P&P,
Could you please post pictures of Ash wearing a lovely blue dress/ gown .. I just happened to see that on some other website.
I think it was at le-grand-journal-cannes-2009
Oh dear…Tacky would be an understatement! Just look at the finish of the gold gown and the cheap white sequins on the B&W gown…NIGHTMARE! When in doubt, wear a saree Parvati. And better jewellery.
The Gold Dress is too much. I’ve never seen her wearing anything decent, not that I recall.
Di blaque one is not bad but very amateurish red carpet appearance – di gold one is such a disaster – it’s not even her size!!! look at the extra space at the back… she would have looked better if she went out in her PJ’s!
How can Miss Indias do such things ya…???
though i really dislike the outfit..but i love her flawless make up!! she really looks fresh…
and the white and black one is too ‘filmy’
AARGH!! these pictures infuriate me so…. the B/W excuse for a gown is terribly constructed…the gold is an awful mistake, hair and makeup is totally dated…
and you do not need a stylist to make someone look half-decent ..
shocked!!!!!!!!!!
Simply hideous!
My God!!! What a walking disaster she looks like on both the days!!! Instead of the gold sequin, she should have gone for a dress made of golden lam`e fabric, if she did want to wear all-over gold!!! And the black & white dress is too……..hurtful….to the eyes!!
TOTAL DISASTER.
who would even try that golden dress, forget wearing it on the red carpet. and i see some sparkly stuff on the white-black gown, as well. whats with her sequins obsession? arrgghhhh
She looks good. The outfits look ghastly, but she manages to carry them of with sytle and grace.
Oh my……..where to begin…….I guess less said the better…….
How can anyone pick such bad clothes for such a beautiful girl! Fire ur stylist Parvathy…u deserve loads better.
HHC(everybody!),
I’m starting to wonder if that gold dress is backwards. Doesn’t it seem like the bunch of fabric in the back would fit like a bust and ruching along the tummy? The “front” is so straight it looks like the back…which reminds me of that Max Azria Angelina Jolie wore backwards at the SAG Awards. What do you think?
the gold dress almost makes her look like she is walking talking golden trophy!
luks like a glorified potato sack. maybe she wore it as a dare?
I know@ Kimmy, The dress does seems like it’s on backwards or something, lol. That would explain the excessive amount of fabric behind. It’s a very poorly tailored dress:(
One thing that I noticed about Cannes is that the more daring, out-there, tacky etc. dress you were, the more press you get…
Parvathy is soooo beautiful, and she has such a nice body…the gold dress is a mess, but I still think she looks great and carries her self well!
As for the black and white dress, I like it…sure it’s a little risque, but she looks sexy in it…what’s wrong with showing some skin?
I don’t think that just because she was miss universe or world runner up that she has to be always perfect or impeccably dressed. I mean don’t you guys remember how horrible Aish used to dress?
u know i just remembered – the gold dress looks like something u wud ask your local darzi to make for you.. after getting soem yardds of blingy material and drawing a design for them.. then being hopeful you will get a classic evening gown.. and ending up with a shiny botched debacle!
speaking from experience :o)
I can’t believe that so many people can spend such a large amount of their time commenting on what a stranger wears. Surely, clothes should be worn because you like them and if she likes them, let her wear them. Have any of you even heard of this women before? (her greatest achievement was Miss India 2008). Aren’t there more important figures in the world for us to judge and more important aspects of their lives (work, intelligence, humanity) on which to judge them?
