In Prabal Gurung
It was a gorgeous Prabal Gurung dress for Sonam Kapoor at her movie’s premiere… Love how well she wears it! The hair though was a dampener.

Really Ladies?? You didn’t notice how cakey the make up looks!!! For a moment I couldn’t believe it was Sonam!
Seriously. Why is there so much of concealer around her eyes? and that lipstick is killing the look.Also, somehow the dress looks better on the model than on Sonam, which makes us mere mortals wonder if it can possibly look good on any human being after all.
Even for a model, those legs seems suspiciously too long. Makes me wonder if she is standing on some sort of a raised platform thats hidden beneath the voluminous skirt.
THE CASE OF HAIR FAIL ! :(
couple of things:
– the skirt part of this outfit looks like something i would stitch up as a young girl for my barbie dolls. total disaster.
-Sonam DESPERATELY needs a better makeup artist. you would think after almost 4 years of being in the industry and having countless pics taken , some one on her team would have realized it by not.
– on a positive not, i do appreciate her beautiful smile and the fact that she doesn’t bore us with horrendous i-am-too-good-for-you pouts (cough.. miss. kareena kapoor)
typos: realized it by now* and postive note*
I LOVE this dress. nice to see her wear something sleevless. The hair is ok, think she’s a lil conscious abt her arms n so she was coverin it a lil , no offence
The dress looks fine. She needs a little boost in the chest area though. Her hair and makeup also look off.
“boost in the chest area”?? Wat’s that supposed to mean? Surely all women needn’t be busty!
Besides, most dresses look good only on normal/flat chests.
Case in point: 99 percent of models.
I actually like the hair; it goes with the retro feel of the gorgeous dress.
This is so bubblegum-tacktastic – anybody’s hair should not styled that way for any outfit on any event!
It is so ill-fitted on her. The middle part makes her look bloated and round in all sorts of weird ways.
This dress required a messy fishtail braid and a face of fresh, youthful makeup.
“bubblegum-tacktastic ” – exactly the word i was looking for.
P&P – is there a specific glass you are wearing, i dont understand under which angle she looks good here!
Are you guys serious? That is one fugly dress. I can see sridevi wearing that dress in some C grade 80s movie.
You 2 really kiss some serious Sonam butt.
Epic fail.
I think its a ugly dress too. Very b-grade cos of the skirt part.
Bad hair and bad make up. Genelia is my fav in this premiere !
I beg to differ, that dress is quirky, feminine and whimsical. Hair and makeup apart, this girl is flawless.
Kayshika, your review is spot on! That’s the most preposterous dress ever! And butt kissing so totally true!
Oh god no. This one’s a total disaster. Sorry. Prabal Gurung or not. :(
I find this outfit ugly , n costumey actually
Sorry not feeling it at all…. she is soo NOT working it.
She can do lot better than this, esp for her own movie premier!
What a beautiful dress . I love the hair and love the eye makeup . It’s so 60 s . Sonam is looking fab . Only she can pull this off.
WoW! Loved it! I am impressed! She looked wonderful! The dress is delish and Sonam even more so! The HAIR! I love the hair!
Sonam has done and can do better!
hair is a big let down.. wtz wrong.. y there is always something or the other off in her appearances these days..
though the dress suits her well..
She looks so cute. Hair may bother some, but her smile makes up for it.
Don’t like the lower part of that skirt at all. If at all, someone way taller can probably pull it off. Sonam couldn’t.
Gaaah..sorry guys but that’s the best i could come up with…gaaaah!!
tacky. pls temme again P&P whyyy do u like this outfit?
coz its by Prabal Gurung .. n Sonam’s wearing it ..
pet peeves ;)
and because Sonam started wearing Prabal Gurung upon PnP’s suggestion. Sonam was living under a rock before that and had never heard of him.
How different it looks on the model….boy! isn’t this a complete fail on Sonam? hair and the makeup … on Sonam the lower part of the skirt looks like an afterthought for the sake of modesty!!!!
It was a gorgeous Prabal Gurung dress for Sonam Kapoor … Love how well she wears it………PnP forgot to add “Tactastic” here,lolz
Her hair looks awful. The skirt looks ill fitted and poofy. And fugly. Her top is pretty and I dont understand the person above who wants her to get a boost in the chest area – she’s a thin girl – why should she “boost her chest”?
I have to say I am really disappointed by this outfit. Dont care if its prabal gurung.
Lovee the dress on the model!!!!
I love Prabal and love sonam more..
But this look is a disaster. She looks bigger than she is and that can’t be good thing.
Am i supposed to like it just because its Prabal Gurung? If not, then i would say that he probably paid her to wear this horror. But the horrendous hair takes the cake! FUGLY!
Her makeup doesn’t look cakey . I think u people ( kirti ) don’t understand makeup . If she covers her dark circles her makeup is too much , if she puts less her dark circles are showing . as long as she looks good thAts all that matters and she s looking so amazing here .
Com’on sona …. ok i agree i dont like this dress..but makeup and hair too didnt help you to save …
P&P – you cant spare sonam so easily Be fair. She needed a spank. though i love u sonam
Yeah what everyone said; plus she looks 40.
ive got one word for you – FUGLY!
dress is hideous…her make up is ALWAYS terrible. whats with the partiality just coz this so called “fashionista” is wearing it.
She does not wear it welll. The hair is too sweet and a little bit pageanty, I don’t think it goes well with that dress. Also, the dress is fugly, really really fugly (what happened to PG? His latest collection was a Givenchy ripoff and looked so cheap and tacky).
The dress doesn’t fit Sonam well. I see it very often with Bollywood stars, while India has so many good tailors! The dress is also too long and should be tighter at the hips.
But it’s her premiere and she definitely stood out.
Is she dressed for “Once upon a time in Mumbai” premier?
Only that can explain this…
isn’t she main lead in this movie…Shouldn’t she look glamorous and all??
She wore elie saab to speedy singh bash(where everybody was comparitively dressed down) and this for her own movie premier..
I find this outfit ugly
she looks like a doll! though the dress is not anywhere near prabal gurung’s potential.
Looks so much better in the pic. For some reason sonam tried to make it look sweet with the hair and makeup and it doesn’t work at all. I also get the feeling that this outfit would look better in a shoot. I prefer her anamika khanna looks for the promotions!
clearly this is ramp couture which rarely translates well into real life. teh reason it looks so good on the model is coz she has something like a can-can we wore as kids, to buff up the bottom so that it falls beautifully- either that or she’ll holding it stylishly..on sonam it looks so shapeless at the bottom :( disappointing. and i agree, she is very conscious of her arms..which is sad coz i prefer the way she’s looking any day over Deepika’s scrawny arms we saw a few days ago.
No no no…looks like she wore a short cocktail dress to the premiere and papa Kapoor (or Kapur?!) told her to cover up and she just pulled something on top!
The hair and makeup is so not her!
I wish you guys would feature her mom, she looked really good!
Only the top portion of her dress works. The skirt is poofy, too long and she is not carrying it off well. For someone to carry this off, it would have to be altered perfectly. The hair and make up only makes it worse. She chose a very tricky dress, and I don’t think it works – AT ALL. The only good thing about the whole thing, is the color of the top and her smile. Sorry but just because it is a Sonam + Prabal Gurung pairing, it doesn’t make it a winner look.
The dress looks nice & different on the model. The way the skirt sits on the model i.e the fitting is also nice.
But it looks like a fusion of ghagra & skirt on sonam as it is too long & the fitting of the skirt at hips is wierd. The skirt definitely needs a belt similar to the model.
Even her hair style does not suit what she is wearing.
This is one hideously ugly dress!
I never thought I would say this for Sonam, but how tacky is this whole look
This is why I love it when Sonam does get it right… Here she looks average! Like a standard girl dressing up (and getting it wrong). On her good days she proves that ANYone can look good in the right outfit, with the right hair and makeup.
That outfit would have been cuter cut off from the lower part of skirt. So a short skirt, nude heels. Wash your face… and as P&P haven’t said clear enough in this post… wear a pony tail!!
OMG!!! plz be fair, just bcoz sonam kapoor is wearing it, u dont need to praise her.. this dress is downright tacky!!!! a 10 yr old can make the same dress!!!
I actually like the hair as it is. But I don’t like her outfit, this dress is just chopping her body into different parts. I really thought she would have worn an Indian outfit.
By now, I am sure,sure,sure that Sonam & P&P have tied up or what. They just CANNOT ever not praise her!! Whatever she wears they blindly go floor about it. You guys really need help about style, dressing & make up sense.
I guess if she was trying to channel the sixties look make sense but Mausam isn’t a period film atleast doesnt date that long back. The cake make-up and whole outfit just isn’t working. Fail this time!!!
I really not digging the dress,but Sonam seems to look good in everything :) Cute
P&P why don’t you have a voting poll for this one? I cast my vote for fug inappropriate outfit for a bollywood premiere. I love Sonam too, but her sense of style doesn’t seem appropriate always. Like she can work the hell out of this, but its just wrong for the setting, mood and everything with it. Her stylist has got to know where to draw the line. And Prabal really killed SJPs looks lately..this retro stuff is a lil too much.
I have been reading your blog for a looong time now ..and never once did i feel your reviews or opinions are biased and stayed true to to ur blog ….but for some reason after reading this review i feel u have proved me wrong ….what is up with u galz? Seriously sonam looks like she dressed in a piece of ” garbage ” and no two opinions abt that …evrything about this looks screams “disaster” !!! It could be a prabal gurung but there is no reason to go gaga over it …if it is bad , it is bad period !!!
PnP, you got your wish. She wore Prabal Gurung to the premiere. But she had to pick something this fug??!!
LOLing at the hair too!
The more I look at this look, the more on the fence I am… Something is amiss here, the pageanty hair does not go with the fun vibe of the outfit. Soft side swept curls and an easy hand while using eye make up would have elevated it a notch.
Dress looks good in model….other than what sonam wore on that TV show i didnt like any of her appearnce in Mausam promo events…feels like alll long dresses are eating her….I find Deepika is wearing some gud stuffs,which suits to her…
Don’t like the dress at all! But since its Sonam wearing it, it looks kinda edgy …but the prom night hairdo makes the whole look uncool again!
Sonam has actually made me hate that pretty dress..
When I saw this collection I adored it, but after seeing it like this on her, well I’m shuddering now!!
Love the dress !!!
PURELY HIDEOUS… its so vile, i threw up lunch. Prabal Gurung is over rated, and since he is NYC based, We being a deeply colonial inferiority complexed race will LAP him up. there are a 100 better designers in India, doing fantastic stuff! SOnam, u guys n a few others dont need to lap up NY ass!
ugly ugly ugly… so disappointed with u guys!
The dress luk like the secret love child of Barbie and cruella devil. A simpler make up (like the models) cd work. But thsi one’s a No No for me.
leave aside that the hair and make up has aged her into her mother – she has forgotten to wear her panty hose/leggings like the model – that could well have made the difference – for some reason i get a celina jaitely vibe from this look ;)
the model looks great in the dress but something terribly wrong with sonam….the hair ofcourse is looking cheap also i have problems with the length of the dress. on sonam its overflowing making it look tacky n weird……makeup too is bad….sigh!
I used to have a barbie that had the same dress in red!Really!
