When I started this blog last year, one of my first posts was about People`s Best dressed Issue. Last time it was Twinkle Khanna, who certainly deserved the title. But I am very confused by their choice this year.
I had commented last year how they should`ve maybe put Priyanka Chopra (and also Kareena Kapoor) in their list of best dressed. But that didnt mean GIVE PC the damn title.
Okay so now you`re going to read my completely biased opinion on a random title given to an actress by a magazine while other important things are going on in the country/world.
Anyway..
So yes, I am left completely baffled by their choice this year. Whenever I try to picture Priyanka Chopra, in the context of clothes and fashion what comes to mind are really short tight dresses and tattered jeans. And maybe the hot sari+blouse she wore in Desi girl.
But I am quite bored of her style. I mean I would like to see some RANGE and VERSATILITY in someones choice of clothing when they`re supposedly best dressed. Dont get me wrong, I think she pulls off those short tight dresses wonderfully..most people try and fail but its sort of her signature look. Funnily enough when People tries to replicate her look it features a tight short skirt. So even they know what she`s memorable for!

I have a problem with the entire styling of the shoot as well.
Lets look at the cover shall we ?
Now say HELLO to the twins..
Done?
Moving ON
Isnt her skin tone a little darker? Why have they whitened her up? And i just dont understand how these celebrities can STAND for that?
And WHAT is she WEARING? THIS is what a best dressed person wears on the COVER announcing that shes best dressed. Do you SEE a problem here?
Please see Twinkle Khanna`s shoot last year and compare it to this.
HOW does this photo say "best dressed"? To me it says really nice 60`s hair and make-up
She`s wearing a Michael Kors top but come ON! Isnt it a little too plain for a best dressed photoshoot.
And as we can see this ISNT her style. Its blingy and SHORT!
WHERE are the clothes in this shoot? I can only see boobs!
In the interview inside PC says that her parents were quite conservative and would only let her wear XL size t shirts. So at least now we know why there is always the need to wear short and tight dresses!
She also goes on to say that when she was 15, she used to wear alot of ripped jeans. Well someone hasn't really outgrown that phase, have they?
Atleast the Twinkle Khanna shoot had variety, she was wearing an Abu-Sandeep sari and a dress.
Here we finally see her in a (short tight) dress that actually reflects her style.
Anyway, to sum it up- I do LIKE Priyanka Chopra and yes, I did comment upon her absence from the list last year but she IS NOT Indias Best dressed.
I DO NOT like Sonam Kapoor, at all, but of course I agree (grudgingly) that she is a well dressed person. Maybe put her on the damn cover? Even Kareena for that matter.
Onto The List
Deepika Padukone
The Statuesque Star
I dont know why they call her Statuesque? Cos she`s tall. Wow
Anyway, I do really like DPads sense of style. Its pretty laid back and chic at the same time.
Sonam Kapoor
The Artful Dresser
What is with these titles. I would say she`s fashion forward! She tries out every trend out there.
As you know I dont like her. But yeah the clothes she wears are damn nice, when I ignore whose wearing them.
Anushka Sharma
The Change Artist
She IS getting there. I think MAJOR faux pas happened with that light blue satin dress she wore recently and it was all crinkled!
Freida Pinto
The Minimalist
Uffff I DO NOT like this woman. I prefer Sonam over her and thats saying ALOT
Who is she and what has she done!? She`s famous for being a movie that was good and won an Oscar
What the crap did SHE do?
NEXT!
Kareena Kapoor
The Casual Diva
Totes agree! I am not a fan of her I mean shes okay so this isn't a biased view but if they didn't give best dressed to Sonam, Kareena should`ve gotten it.
Sure there are people like Neha Dhupia (coming up) and Dia Mira but who are we kidding they want someone with considerable star power.
I dont see why it cant be Kareena. I quite appreciate the looks she pulls off.

Shilpa Shetty
The Siren
Agreed!!!
Twinkle Khanna
The Jewellery Junkie
Its amazing how many quirky acessories she manages to pair with really elegant outfits!
Neha Dhupia
The Fashionista
Another girl who is really fashion forward and I admire her for that
Prerna Goel
The Bohemian
I dont know who this person is and I googled her and all I got was socialite. From the looks people pulled for her, her style seems okay. I quite like the multi strand necklace shes wearing in one look.
So that was my take on the supposed best dressed people of India. Did they miss anyone? Should someone be kicked off the list
What do YOU think?
Yes i heard Priyanka chopra best dressed and i ws like whaaaa?? Shes usually in just tattered jeans and a tee and she never experiments !!!
ReplyDeleteSonam Kapoor should have won...as u said, she's more fashion forward. I don't like PC's clothes most times.
ReplyDelete♥xx♥
Hello fashion lover! Great post! :D Agreed Kareena Kapoor on the cover pleaaaase!
ReplyDeleteSonam should've won this. When it comes to Bollywood nobody does fashion like her. I'm totally sick of PC's ridiculously short skirts and dresses.
ReplyDeleteAditi,
http://mysartorialsecrets.blogspot.com/
Hmm, that's right. She is seen quite a lot in little satin-y dresses. My vote (not that it matters :-)) goes to Kareena. She's way better dressed.
ReplyDeleteWell I agree with you, I prefer Sonam Kapoor any day any time over Priyanka when you call out names for BEST DRESSED !!
ReplyDeleteAnd well for Frieda Pinto- same thing again- who's she???????? I mean I dont know why the heck all over the globe she is giving soo much attention whereas I guess she is an average looking girl having done 1 movie which accidentally went to Oscars and come on I didn't even notice her much in the movie !! :/
Then maybe its just my view !! : )

lol..spot on! cldn't disagree with you through out :P
ReplyDeletePC's style is boring. wearing skirts all the time is not style anyway !
and i totally disliked that blue dress she wore..
i don't like sonam kapoor either. As for her style..it is 'better' than that of others. Can't say its the best.
Frieda pinto's style is nice though. Haven't seen her outfits recently..but during the oscars rage..she wore some amazing clothes!
I agree with you on everything except ONE! :P More on that later ... but PC = Best Dressed = Best Joke of the year! I don't even like her. Anyways ...
ReplyDeleteAbout Frida Pinto, she has done a lot of good work in last 2 years. I do not think those movies released world wide coz they were independent ... I am not a fan but she is doing some good work. Miral, You will meet a tall dark handsome, etc. P.S. I do like her style too!

PC is the best dressed? Really? I dint see that coming...
ReplyDeleteWould prefer Sonam over her anyday... maybe even kareena but not PC..
Ok. I sooooooo agree with you - Piggy Chops is definitely NOT the Best Dressed female in India!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd with as much conviction, I think that the award should DEFINITELY have gone to Sonam Kapoor! However her acting prowess (or lack thereof) is, she is totally up there as far as Fashion is concerned......her dressing sense is not only mature, but quite trendy & international as well! :)
You pretty much said what i could not effectively communicate. +1

Lol, I dont like Sonam Kapoor either but yep, she is an amazing dresser. And very experimental. Same for Freida Pinto. Why do all the poor actresses dress nicely? maybe to cover up for their not so good acting skills? :/
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Priyanka Chopra looks wonderful in whatever she wears but I have to agree that she IS monotonous and also that cover picture is baaaad -.-
I'm sorry but they're all horribly badd!! It looks all soo crass. They've got great bodies but they simply choose such tacky silhouettes. I think bolly needs a huuge makeover. Maybe a really good stylist to change the face of fashion in India. they all have pretty much the same style and then those dior, louis vuitton bags...aaarrrgghh I love kareena but i would love to see her in better clothes. Deepika padukone- sheesh. always the same pose, the same sareloo chappal(low heeled shoes) and jeans. I get it, she's tall but no reason to be wearing disaster after disaster!! I like sonam kapoor but she's too much va-va voom for my liking and not to sound prude but fat arms.LOL.i actually like anushka's dress there. a very vintag-ey effect and complements her except for that same old boring bollywood style bejewelled clutch. Freida pinto's GOOD probably been taking some lessons from the west. eek shilpa shetty. twinkle khanna= ok.makes an effort. neha dhupia=are you freaking kidding me? couldn't make it as an actress so gets into the best-dressed list?! Just because she seems wayy polished than her trashy old days! prerna goel= umm..seriously who is she??!!!! these socialites infuriates me more than bollywood actresses. No sense of fashion and is only dictated by gucci dresses, dior bags and pointy kitten heels. SERIOUSLY. I would love to see a bollywood actress with a different hairstyle. Like what is up with the long??? we live in a country thats wayy too generous with the sun! do something with your bloody hair! lazy arses!
ReplyDeletesorry for the stupid rant!
Yah I completely agreed, PC is so boxed when it comes to her wardrobe choices. She so not deserves the title. And I am not surprised that someone from India has given her tht, cos not many people speak or undertsand the language of style.
ReplyDeleteThe one woman in India I think who deserves (Among celebs) is definitely Sonam, I can relate to why u dont like her. She shud shut up and I am sure she'd be titled soon. Lol. n yah Neha is one person who experiments, and comes out wid flying colours most of the times....
Nice blog BTW.
