Kaptivating Kaftans

Comment image 22


Both ladies wore printed kaftans and while Dia wore it as-is, Ms. Azmi gave it her own spin… which do you prefer?

  1. I prefer Shabana’s look to Dia’s! Shabana put together a complete look from head to toe while something seems amiss in case of Dia.

  2. As much as I love Ms. Azmi, Definitely Dia. She pairs the caftan with a pair of nice slinky heels offsetting the ballooning effect of a Kaftan. Also the print is more “true” to a kaftan (whatever that menas…LOL)

  3. Dia looks pleasant here, not so much of a busy print as last time…..Ms.Azmi however overdoes it! i m a big fan of her but this style here is not working for me, hd it been deep Oriental red wid black underneath n a diff hairstyle including make-up accessories etc n i wud hv loved it~

  5. its hard to compare as the two are of different ages – dia’s look would have looked really weird on Ms Azmi.. i think a black churidar on dia would be the perfect balance.

  6. I like Dia, coz I like the print.. Since SA is doing a weird gesture, its making the stuff look weird.. but her idea is good, altho the kaftan doesnt support it, as its too long for the look, maybe a bit oversized too?

  7. The white thing that Ms. Azmi is wearing under the kaftan is not helping the silhouette. The kaftan should fall gracefully, no matter what the body type. Dia looks great. She looks chic and dressed-down at the same time. Wish we had a pic that showed her standing.

  8. Dia, definitely. There’s too much happening with Ms Azmi: make-up overload, blingy earrings.. and those thermals inside the kaftan aren’t helping

  9. Dia.

    btw, why does it look like she’s only wearing one earring? Lo

    For Shabana, i guess she didn’t want to expose her legs? but yes, a better combo would have been better

  10. Kaftans = oversized Ponchos… I really wanna know which body type is it suitable for?

    I am guessing just pregnant women!!;) or Simone Singh?

  11. Is there a connection between seasoned acting and ridiculous dressing? In Hollywood we have Meryl Streep, and our own Shabana in Mumbai…

  12. Dia for me. Love the way she paired it with strappy sandals and shows some nice legs instead of covering up completely and looking like a curtain.

  13. aren’t these poncho like things for lounging around at home or by the pool? these 2 are such gorgeous women and they should’ve worn something more stylish and flattering.

  14. Dia looks better than Shabana who seems to have overdone it completely.Unflattering and ott.
    Having said that,I dont think kaftans are supposed to be worn to formal functiions,maybe they should leave them home/wear them for a casual day out.
