When we first saw this print on Neetu, we thought it was a complete mess. Now, take the same print but add a little more red tone and you get the version that is on Shriya Saran. Yes, Shriya’s version is far better than Neetu’s, but do we like this print any better now. Not really!

What about you? Care for either version or neither?

Natasha Poonawala attended the Nandita Mahtani/Vikram Phadnis show in a pink strapless chiffon Temperley London gown which she paired with a Bottega Veneta stretch knot clutch.

The gown sure is a pretty one, but it is a sure misfit. Pregnant or not, a too-squeezed look doesn’t make for a pretty picture. Don’t get me wrong, I am all about showing your curves, but if you are going to wear something strapless, you really want to make sure that the fitting on the upper body is relaxed and comfortable and this one was definitely not.

P.S. Natasha is wearing a variation.

Arpita Khan was the latest to wear the one-shouldered Monisha Jaisingh dress seen earlier on Lara, Nina and Genelia in FHM Magazine. She paired her dress with silver pumps and a Fendi Medium Baguette.

It was a pleasant surprise to see an otherwise straight-hair wearing Arpita donning a light curl look. Maybe she heard all of you? ;) Needless to say, love her complete look.

You can catch Genelia wear the dress in white here.

From Runway To Award Show To Runway Again

Mumbai Socialite and jewellery designer Queenie Singh got to wear the same Zac Posen dress previously worn by Freida at the Directors Guild Awards.

Uncanny isn’t it? Everytime we’ve seen this dress, it has been worn by someone of Indian origin and might we add that the copper/bronze tone of the dress looks great on everyone of them.

Risky Business

The last time anyone looked good in just a white shirt was probably Tom Cruise in ‘Risky Business’. And, I have to salute Sonam for going out in public in an oversized shirt. Of course, she wore opaque leggings and a vest with her shirt. (Although, the camera flash still made her leggings look like they were see-through.)

As much as I am against matching, when the color scheme is black and white, I think it is okay not to stray from it. If it were me, I would probably stick to black oxfords instead of beige, but then since its Sonam, I am not surprised that she contrasted her look with a different color. Always changing things up and that is what we love about her.
