In Traditional Attire

Avantika Khan (spotted with husband Imran Khan), Sonam Kapoor and model turned TV host Padma Lakshmi all chose traditional Indian clothes for their respective outings.

At a wedding, Avantika wore a white salwar kameez that had some coloured prints, she left the dupatta (scarf-like thing) out and wore nude peeptoes to finish the look. It's a nice and simple look but feels a little too simple for a wedding... having said that, I'd take this look any day over a horrendous Manish Malhotra type outfit.

Sonam Kapoor was also at the wedding, wearing a sunny yellow saree. I love the bright, cheery colours and the simple gold accessories but not loving the crushed feel of the fabric.


Padma Lakshmi was seen at an NYC event wearing a sheer green saree by Indian designer, Sabyasachi. I'm not a fan of the green tinge to the saree, but the blue and pink go well together.

Cosmopolitan Awards

Last night, The Cosmopolitan 'Fun and Fearless' Awards took place in Mumbai. The whole event was highly paradoxical as the attendees' clothes were anything but fun and/or fearless.

Avantika & Imran Khan wore black an
d have to say, looked very polished. I'm going to go easy on Avantika as she's not one to usually shun away from colour or interesting silhouettes. Maybe she just wanted to co-ordinate with her husband? (She's wearing a Gauri & Nainika gown).

Aishwarya Rai
disappointed me by donning an all black suit that wasn't even well made. That and the hairstyle just aged her look. If she had to go the suit way, she could have chosen this cool white Emilio Pucci suit (minus the casual accessories & blue shirt), and paired it with a simple slick ponytail and statement jewels.
Malaika Arora Khan chose a beige body-con dress and wore some chunky gold jewellery with it - it just doesn't work. The accessories don't go well and the dress is just too short.

Anushka Sharma also misse
d the mark, in this really lame black gown - it has no personality whatsoever. This gorgeous Gucci Spring 2011 would have looked stunning on Anushka, alas, one can only wish.

Indian TV personality Ambika Anand dressed for the occassion in a cheery combination of a neon orange shirt dress and a yellow Jimmy Choo bag - the nude kitten heels work perfectly with the look.

Socialite Prerna Goel went for a printe
d Issa dress and added a gold clutch. However, I'm not liking those shoes at all.
Kareena Kapoor wore a peachy Elie Saab gown with a halterneck and pockets! It's not the worst look but something about it doesn't work. For Kareena, I would have chosen this teal Andrew Gn number, the colour and cut would have looked fabulous on her. Also, as lovely as her hair is, I wish she'd try a new look once in a while.

MAC Night

Few celebs were out at the MAC bash (thrown by well known Bollywood make up artist, Mickey Contractor) but here are my favourites: Deepika Padukone looked great in a one shoulder LBD, although too bad that the way she's posing makes it almost impossible to see the full other sleeve. Nevertheless, I love her look, from the accessories to the matte red lip, well done.

Newly weds, Imran Khan and Avantika looked rather good - sure, Imran's cardi type thing could be viewed as almost casual, but it's a refreshing change from tired shiny jackets. Avantika stood out in her little yellow dress from the Lanvin for H&M collection, the dress looks super cute on her.
