The Round Up: Dhobi Ghat Premiere at TIFF


The stars of Dhobi Ghat alongwith director Kiran Rao made an appearance at the premiere of their movie at TIFF on Friday. The men went with bandhgala-style jacket suits with Aamir picking a brown one and Prateik, a black one over a blue shirt.

Of the ladies, Kriti was a favorite of mine looking beautiful in an orange gown that she paired with gold bangles, some lovely gold earrings and a gold clutch. Co-star Monica kept it simple and beautiful in a strapless silver-grey Varsha Bhawnani gown with drop earrings. (Why does this gown look familiar?)

Kiran went short in a black & white Pankaj & Nidhi dress that she paired with an owl Judith Leiber minaudiere and a gold necklace. I wish she had picked one or the other.

I wish we had good full-lengths of all but alas, these are the best I could find. Am quite looking forward to more of Kriti and Monica’s appearances on the red carpet though.

In Narciso Rodriguez


It was a blue Narciso Rodriguez dress for Freida, who looked lovely at the press conference of You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger in Toronto. I wasn’t a big fan of the black shoulder strap on the dress which is why I am loving that Freida’s loose curls cover it. It gives the appearance that the dress is a one-shouldered one. A box clutch, black sandals and bangle completed her look.

Sporting The Skinny


Call me old fashioned or perhaps it has to do with watching daddy dearest for years dress up in suits for work but I love the basic tie. Years of watching Dad make perfect triangle at the neck can do that to you. In fact, now I sometimes do it for the better half, thanks to the occasional practice on Dad.

These days, the skinny tie has become quite a favorite and at the premiere of their movie, both Abhay and Harman wore skinny ties with their suits. If I really really had to pick, Abhay’s grey suit would be my pick just because he had a better suit on. Who do you prefer. Either or neither?

Vision In White?


For a daytime event, Ms. Chopra did one thing right by choosing to wear white. Unfortunately, everything else went wrong for her. Between the tacky sari (or whatever you want to call it) and the belly button piercing, we couldn’t decide what was worse! This outfit actually makes us like Ms. Saran’s South Filmfare Awards outfit now.

It doesn’t end there though. The make-up that looked bearable indoors looked really ghastly in the sunlight and if all the above wasn’t bad enough, choosing to wear a really hideous pair of sunglasses really killed it for us.

What’s your verdict?

Update: The design is a Manish Malhotra! :P (Courtesy: Filmicafe)

Not Quite: Part Deux


It’s not been eons since we saw Ms. Chopra and as for her outfit, neither do I like the dress nor the shoes. Scratch that. I don’t like the dress on her and that’s because the bust is quite ill-fitting and those shoes just bumped the sexy factor down several notches. If you’ve read this, you know we are die hard ‘Mary Jane‘ fans but hers look less Mary Jane hot and way more ‘Mary Poppins’ matronly! (See, I kept my promise! No mention of the hair! :P )
