It started with Giselli walking for Ritu Kumar and ended with Amrita Rao for Manish Malhotra but the most attention grabbing showstopper of KFW had to be Mandira Bedi who walked for Satya Paul. Shock value was what Puneet Nanda (designer of Satya Paul) was goin for and shock they indeed do. Too bad the sari which was quite beautiful, didn’t get any attention. :P

Universe-al Appeal?

The National Costume round of the 2009 Miss Universe contest saw Miss India wear a Ritu Kumar lehenga. While, we loved the black skirt of the outfit, hated the cutout sleeves.

Whether the outfit appealed to the judges, we won’t find out until the 23rd, but what say you?

Update: You are right ‘Nitu’, Simran also wore the same design last year and hated it then too! (see here )

Spotted Sabina wearing a Label by Ritu Kumar dress at a recent event. Between the two colors, we do prefer the green version more. You?

Ritu Kumar at Cannes 2009: ‘Spring Fever’ Premiere

Designer Ritu Kumar was also present at the ‘Spring Fever’ Premiere at Cannes 2009. She wore a kurta seen on her previously at the 2009 Femina Miss India contest with a different skirt and different jewellery.

Too simple for the red carpet or just right? We think it was too simple and would have liked to see her in something more elaborate like the outfit she wore at HDIL Couture Week. What about you?

Update: For those who were wondering why Ritu was on the red carpet, son Ashwin’s film ‘The Forest’ is showing at the festival.
