Filmfare Red Carpet

Sameera Reddy

My first reaction as I saw this picture and this dress was WHOA. What Was She Thinking.

At one point of time Sameera Reddy used to be hot. Yeah well not anymore.

Shoudn`t someone who is um.. rather busty KNOW how NOT to accentuate that part of their body as if it were under a magnifying glass?

 Vikramaditya Motwane (Udaan director) with wife.

I really like her sari!

The SINHA khandan

Bad picture and bad picture quality but I`am liking the different and fresh colour of her dress.
But design wise, atleast what This picture is showing, it`s the same old flowy thing.

Raveena Tandon

Another red carpet another anarkali.
NEXT!

Kajol

Omg. Save me.
Next!!

Preity Zinta

Had she not worn a red sari only recently?

Okay. This isn`t a sari, its a lehnga and she`s wearing the chunni in such a way that it LOOKS like a sari but STILL it`s kinda blah.

Rekha

She wore her hair in a different way! I dunno if I like it, but it is a break from her one shoulder hair.
 I really like it though when she puts it up in a bun with some Gajra.
Btw, how has she NOT been on Koffee with Karan Yet.

Speaking of Koffee With Karan

Malaika and Arbaaz

Don`t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE Malaika, but she`s of course a woman who likes good clothes and likes getting her picture taken. Well then these kind of people should be aware of what will happen to their dress (and the slip they are wearing underneath) once the FLASH hits it.
I mean come on, how can you NOT look at her slip. The first thing that grabbed my attention was that!

Dia Mirza

I think its a sari. But it Looks like a gown.Nevertheless, I like the lace detailing.

Vidya Balan

Its true she won`t leave her Sabya behind, but it is looking good and doesn`t she look much more slim and toned?

  Bonney Kapoor and Sridevi

I like the dress and I like the colour. Its very age appropriate, without going all Parmeshwar Godrej on us.

Katrina Kaif

I don`t even Know what to say about this one. Is she getting married? How stuffed is the top of this dress/anarkali? What IS that?

I mean its at times like these that I KNOW that this industry cannot compare to the classiness of hollywood. And I know by saying this I am going to attract alot of comments saying why do we NEED to be compared to Hollywood. To that my reply would be, well if we are inspired enough from their ways of award functions and red carpets then surely a comparison can take place. I don`t think anyone needs to be told that obviously the red carpet and the million award functions that we have, are infact influences of the west and were not an innate part of India or Bollywood.

Another objection could be, so what? We give all these things our own Indian twist. Well if this so called Indian Twist means tardiness, tackiness and a lack of elegance, then I don`t know if those are 'virtues' worth having.

Sarah Jane Dias

Doesn`t she sometimes remind you of Lisa Hayden
Anyway, I am liking the colour blocking in this sari. But maybe some earrings would`ve been nice?

Sr. Bachan & Jr. Mrs Bachchan

Filmfare tweeted this picture as "the czarina of bollywood"

What am I supposed to write about a white sari with some beady-silvery work on it?
I dunno, is she going to stand under a waterfall after this?

 Photo credits:http://twitter.com/#!/filmfare They were apparently doing a live feed from the red carpet. Funnily enough they didn`t post any pictures of the more prominent actors and actresses like Priyanka,Kareena,Deepika etc. I want to see what they wore! 

If you don`t mind, I am going to continue my rant that I started below Katrina. (If you don`t really care for it, feel free to skip it)

Have u ever wondered why The Ocars, Emmys, Golden Globes, SAGs are always have their telecast Live (and another one the same day at primetime i.e our time), and why our award shows are telecasted 5-6days later?

Isn`t it more exciting watching the Oscars etc without knowing who is going to win rather than watching the filmfares knowing full well because you do read the newspaper (coincidently the newspaper who owns filmfare)

I assume this is so because our award shows have more glitches and are more chaotic thus cannot be shown live. They also want to create a build up. I am also assuming that the 5-6 days are needed for MEGA editing.

I have to admit that all of this doesn`t stop me from watching our awards and yes we do also want to catch the performances. But I would like the anticipation rather than already knowing who gets best actor etc.

Do you agree with me? Or absolutely not?

Look Request!

No, I am not doing a look but I am requesting Mehak and Cynthia to attempt this one

 : )

And ofcourse any one else who would like to do it :D

Cherry Culture Haul

The Cherry Culture gods have finally decided to smile upon me. Actually no, I paid $23 dollars to MAKE them smile upon me. ANYWAY. Here we go: )

[ Btw, I dedicate this post to Mehak from Peaches & Blush- Beauty Blog bcos she went through the same problems with cherry culture as I did and she needs some cheering up! ]

The Package!

  

Well Everything!

I was the MOST excited about the seven nailpolishes I got.
My Mother and I are always on the lookout for the perfect true red. So i bought two Haha : )

All my nailpolishes. I don`t think any on them is over $3.50

Love the matte one. I hope they start selling matte ones here!

I didn`t swatch the NYX Pomegrante and L.A Girls disoc CHIC because the true colour wasn`t coming in the pictures. The nyx one is a really hot pink which I LOVE and CHIC is a soft creamy pink.

Then I got three of these L.A Colors Baked Eyeshadows.

They are quite pigmented and yes there are a lot of gold-ey bronze-ey colours but my Mother wanted them and well, she`s paying for them Ha!

But seriously, they ARE great. Colour wise and also quality.

 Seems like this little fellow (purple) suffered some injuries while travelling all the way from California Thru Paris to New Delhi!

I have never liked GREEN as an eyeshadow colour but this one has such a nice gold sheen to it.

I love this coral lip gloss, it give an orangish tinge.

Jumping on the NUDE LIPSTICK bandwagon!

Also bought two eye pencils and the NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil in MILK that Everyone has!
And a concealer by L.A Girl in NUDE and it is BRILLIANT

So that was that. I also went shopping at Forever 21 some weeks back and took pictures of everything but that camera went bust! So I have been using my mothers camera. I tried to re take all the forever 21 pictures but I think the ones on MY camera were better. I am not saying my mothers camera sucks ( cos I think I`ve said it one too many times to my mother, and she reads my blog! ) but I `am just going to wait for my camera to recover : )

And gossip girl returns today. YAY!

Oh, BTW. Look At My Rings :)

Trend Report Part Deux. Rock The Trend Deluxe Edition!

So here we are finally at Part II of my Trend Report 2011

Print On Print

The easiest way to do this would be to just wear one dress which has the whole print on print theme going on but where is the creativity in that?

I would keep the accessories to a minimum or have really light ones. Keep the shoes to a solid colour so as to not go overboard.Same with the make up.
The best part of this trend is you get to mix and match a lot of things.
But you should remember to combine patterns that compliment each other. Like Stripes + Florals, Stripes+Animal Print. Stripes can generally help and play the role of the basic print to which you can add another print.
If you think the outfit will become very chaotic then space the prints out. Its not necessary to have ONE print on ANOTHER. Like in the first outfit the solid black shorts give a break between the polka dotted stocking and the floral sweater.
Another thing to try is to use different size of prints.

That 70s Show

You can Raid your Mothers Closet for this one!

Ring, Hoops and Bangles from FOREVER 21

Similar wedge platforms available there RIGHT NOW!

I love the wide leg pants. Don`t particularly like flared ones tho. Prefer straight wide legged ones.

Derek Lam

As I mentioned before, I would love to see some one like Malaika Arora in wear this trend. She would make it look so effortless and simple

Minimalism

A complete COLOUR LOVER, I find myself reaching for more of neutral shades these days. I don`t really know why. Something about the winters, makes you want to wear neutrals even though you make an effort towards colours.

Anyway. I didn`t think I`d like this trend very much but clearly it has grown on me. It can me you look so elegant and chic without much effort.

There were so many good examples of minimalism on the red carpet at the Golden Globes.

The key to this trend is Accessorize Wisely

Colour Blocking

The reddish pinkish skirt I have used is really similar to a red skirt I bought at forever21 last week (will do a haul next! )

They have so many colours in a solid stretch jersey skirt. A must have basic!

Bangles from F21

Yes. I am looking forward to wearing this trend. HOW did you know?

Another really fun trend where you can really play around and mix and match lots of things. Yes it is a little bold but don`t worry, you`ll really enjoy wearing this. Just keep the accessories neutral so its not TOO jhataak. 

ITS A LONG STORY

So the story about long skirts and me is that when I was in 8th and 9th grade ethnic long skirts (specially from fabindia, Anoki and Janpath) were all the rage. At every get to gether or party me and my friends could be seen wearing these. And we all made it a point to buy lots and lots of them.

 As we grew up we found out love for dresses skirts and the long skirts are still stored away in the top most section of my wardrobe, untouched for years. 

Even if I try out this trend, I am sure I would be steering clear of the ethnic long skirts. I think I have been there and very much DONE that.

So I have tried very hard to put a 'maxi skirt' look together, without it looking too matronly.

I choose a somewhat structured skirt with layers as opposed to flowly ones for that reason.

Some skirts from ZARA. 

Also they have an amazing sale on:)

If any of you have tried these trends or want to, Take a picture and send it to me! I would love to do a post on you!
Also if you have tried any of the other ROCK THE TRENDS (Boyfriend Blazer, Lace, Military Jacket ) send me a picture : )

Tell me what you think about these looks. Love it or Hate it ?

Hope you`re having an awesome week!

Whose Hotter?

These two, Robert Pattinson and Andrew Garfield (the social network) are best friends.

So...whose hotter?

I used to think Robert Pattinson was extremely good looking when he played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. But th over exposed Edward of Twilight fails to do anything for me. Then he has his annoying little akward girlfriend Bella/kristen Stewart.

So for me Definitely ANDREW GARFIELD.

Atleast he got nominated for a Golden Globe, that too for his first major acting gig.

Watcha say about that R.patz?

Ohhs And Aahhs Of The Golden Globes..& Looks Like Jolie read my blog!

Anjelina Jolie DOES wear colour. Once in awhile. And Kills it! 

Everyone got the memo for going with Emerald Green on the red carpet this year.

I adore this dress on Olivia Wild. It is a little similar to what Anne Hathway wore while performing at the Oscars in 2009

But not in a 'bitch stole my look' way.

As if the dress wasn`t enough she flashed the paps with her ultra edgy Loboutins.

Anne Hathway could`ve come NAKED and she woud`ve rocked the red carpet. Seriously. Have you SEEN Love And Other Drugs? Well you should.
Anyway she still rocked it in this Armani Prive gown. Rachel Zoe has always styled her so I am guessing the pregnant stylist did her magic again this time.

.

Another amazing person, another amazing dress. Eva Longoria in Zac Posen.

and LOOK at the back of THIS one

I guess Heidi Klum is reading my blog as well : ) See this dress in my Trend Report!

But sadly the supermodel mother does Not rock this dress. A better hairstyle and better accessories maybe could`ve done the trick.

Hellen Mirren 
proving how amazing her sense of style is at 65!

Sofia Vergara is so hot and so god damn funny (go see Modern Family) but this dress is SO meh.
I wish she had chosen something else that would`ve been much more flattering to her amazing figure.

Jennifer Lopez

I love this dress. But for my wedding.

Really. This would`ve worked so much beter in another colour.

Could`ve tried it in  the nude or pink family.. They`re the Anarkalis of the west anyway.

Leighton Meester

Someone give her an EMMY already (even though they are in September!)

I am loving her makeup and the dress is Gorgeous.

I don`t know why Emma Stone changed her hair colour from red to almost white blonde.

And then wore this light peachy dress,as a result she looks VERY washed out.

The very pregnant best actress Natalie Portman!

The dress does wonders to her baby bump but idunno about the rose!

Scarlett Johanson

I was a big fan of Sacrlett and Ryan Reynolds :( Anyway I`am going off topic here.
She nailed it in this beautiful dress.

Rumoured to be seeing Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock wore a somewhat similar dress as Scarjo.
That would`ve been AKWARD.

But still Sandra looks amazing. The bangs are a little too long though. 

But I love her. And I love Scarlett, Please dont make me choose!

Besides they can always kiss and make up like last time: )

I am so happy that the social network scored big at the globes. If you havn`t seen it yet. Go see it. Now! They got the globe for original score which they totally deserved. If you are a film geek as I am, and if you are interested check out the soundtrack on youtube.

I am dying to see Black Swan for the make up dancing and clothes. But I don`t want to download it, I want to see it on the big screen. Why can`t they release it here already!!

Btw, if you didn`t catch the telecast of the Globes on TV i suggest you try and watch it online cos Ricky Gervais, the host was hilarious, just like he was last time!

Hells Yes Bellatrix!

Tell me who you loved and hated 

and part II of the trend report coming soon!
