Underwhelmed
Going by her last few appearances we thought Vidya Balan finally got it together, but nope, her look at a recent do left us really underwhelmed…

I get this strange feeling that vidya balan belongs to another time. She would have been a smashing beauty in the 60s or 70s…her face, her image, her clothes…everything gives off a vibe that she is half a century too late.
Ditto!
Agree with debs, she looked so beautiful in Parineeta. Esp in those sarees and big bindi. She has never looked the same way again.
What is wrong with her hair? I can only see that she is wearing sandals 2 size bigger than her size. She is dated…but hair is fine.
i think that lavender colour really suits her.. i really think she should carry a clutch coz i dont like to carry cell phone like that. and those churidars definately need an alteration!
I’m not going to comment on Vidya’s style…but I’m glad that she is wearing suits instead of dresses..Dresses just aren’t meant for Vidya.
she is looking really fresh and nice.. i dont see any problem
as long as she is in Indian wear i’m not complaining……actually to be fair….she looks good!!!
Not just the sandals, even the churidar is too loose! Still, at least she picked an Indian outfit…I wish I had the white suit she wore for Slumdog…sigh!
Some people cant do versatile trends…vidaya’s one of them. She should stick to her Indian attire…just thinking about kismet konnections make me cringe lol
Churidhar could be a better fit.
Not a fan of this kind of glittery gold/silver splattered/splotched fabric (Ayesha Takia’s saree, Vidya Balan’s kurta, Ash’s Star Screen sea foam kurta)….NONE of these look good…all of them were at least underwhelming…and perhaps even tasteless.
I do think poor Vidya is picked on a bit too much…not here on HHC…but the targeting at last years filmfare awards…
Not very cool at all. She doesn’t fare much worse wrt fashion than an Amrita Rao or Sushmita Sen judging by recent appearances!!
she looks ok
the outfit looks good cause its an abu jani sandeep khosala creation… the lavender looks awful…. guess she shld stick to ajsk
Vidya is the ‘new age’ Rani Mukherjee. Too much purple and matching going on.
I agree with the poster who says Vidya is out of whack with this age. In fact she shouldn’t be wearing this blingy MMy style stuff either. She’s more in the mould of Smita/Shabana in the 70s and 80s – kind of ethnic stuff with colours like turmeric yellow, maroon etc. She looks great in a sari.
Its sad that ethnic wear is as good as dead. And more sad to see the dusky girls with stocky curvy Indian frames squeezing themselves into unsuitable dresses. Unsuitable in colour and cut.
I really like Vidya .. she can look so fabulous if she picked the right clothes. I agree that traditonal wear really melts with her persona. In THIS photo, I am sorry to say but the first thing I thought of was that it looked like a kaamwaali’s outfit. It looks cheap. I wish to see Vidya in lovely rich tasteful sarees!
the purple dress is terrible…that style is outdated.
I totally agree…Vidya has avery retro vibe
the smart thing to do would be to play it up ;)
Her Slumdog Millionaire’ Premiere chunni is similar to what Aishwarya Rai wore @ Rahul Sharma Wedding Reception, Jan 2008 here:
