Santosham Awards 2008

The Santosham awards, 2008 were held on 2 August at Novotel, Hyderabad. Must say, this year was a far cry from the grand celebration at Dubai last year. Wonder, what made it scale lower. Well, we know one thing that surely put it down a few notches - star presence. Just a few stars randomly thrown together to make the otherwise dark canvas seem even more empty. Guys, this is not fair! How will we savour your fashion sense (or non sense :P) unless you come out in the open...lol.

Anyway, here are the few present celebrities and their fashion blunders! ;-)

Hansika Motwani - Santosham Awards 2008 (D+)

I would hate to think what would happen to Hansika's outfit if a strong wind blew past by. Getting any mental images?

First let me say I love, love, love the well-defined sweetheart neckline with black and hot pink border (let's just chuck out the white shall we?). Rest all is pure amateur and unskilled work. First of all, the flares do not go with the material of the dress and second of all, they are not done properly. The white detail on top of the flares just maximize those faults to the hilt.

The good thing is that her hair looks really pretty. I am on the fence about the makeup. While in some pics it looks over-the-top and Cruella DeVille-ish, in others she looks quite ok. Her earrings are alright but the weird, twisted bracelet has to go.

One thing I don't understand is her affection towards Mary Jane shoes. Out of the 4 times that she has been seen on our list of Fashion Suspects till now (including this one), she has been in Mary Janes 3 times. Is it that she loves them too much and fails to realise that they don't go with everything or just that she doesn't own anything else? Well, whatever the reason, here she has worn the same pair again. Yes, I accept I thought they were cute, but frankly, now they are just getting on my nerves.

This dress would be so much better if it were just a black gown with a hot pink neckline. Hmm... I think I can safely say that she has ruined the femininity and elegance of a sweetheart neckline very sweetly.

Ileana - Santosham Awards 2008 (C+)

Yaaawwwwwnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!

That is just how I feel about this outfit. Too simple, too plain and too boringgg!

It's an OK dress, but the waist down part seems a tad too puffed up (maybe dats coz of Ileana's huge hips!). I like her shoes. They cause a nice distraction in this bland outfit.

This look is badly in need of some zing, something to focus on, as i have to struggle to keep my eyes on it for longer than 30 seconds. Maybe, a nice belt would have helped?

Bhumika - Santosham Awards 2008 (D-)

(Imagine an excited ad voiceover) "She's back! In her very own original avatar, to gag you to death, to make you nauseous, to cause instant repulsion! Bhumika Chawla has done it again!"

The last time, I thought she was finally beginning to see sense and hop onto the right track.But alas! Seems like it was a fluke of sorts coz this time she returned fuglier!

Why, and I mean why would anyone wear this hideous green, zari bordered second rate churidaar to an awards function? I personally wouldn't even wear it to buy groceries. To top it off she adds a huge chunky piece of jewelery, which I must say clashes horribly with the high-collared kurta.

The chappals she has worn here are the same ones from the Wellness jewelery function (remember the one time she actually got it right?). Anyway, a repetition offence is very, very minor one to the other crimes she has committed here.

Venkatesh - Santosham Awards 2008 (D-)

Venky, Venky, oh Venky! Do you need a daily reminder that you are in your late forties and not in teens?

Looking at this pic I feel as if I am looking at a time capsule. A picture of stunted youth. A picture of a grown man's desperation. Or to put it straight in our words, a picture full of fugly shit!

It just pains me to look at his jeans. But, his shirt and jacket are the heights. I mean, a printed shirt with a printed jacket whose zipper has threads hanging like an ugly blotch for everyone to see? I don't think so. He seems to be taking a cue from Bhumika, but substituted the gold bangle for a big, fat, ugly gold chain. At least the shoes are a saving grace.

Honey, if you wanna flaunt your wealth, then swipe out that credit card and buy some decent clothes instead of gold dog chains. Also, I would strongly suggest you to take a look in the mirror at that receding hairline before stepping into that clothes store.

100th one! Yeah!!!

The 100th post! Wow!!!

When I started out, I hardly thought I would reach even 10 posts. And now 100! Of course, it isn't such a big number, but personally, it sure is a milestone for me. I would never have had the enthusiasm to continue after my first few posts if it weren't for the fabulous response you people have given me. I really thank you for the generous feeback, comments, tips and encouragement. I must especially mention my favorite fashionista 'Bollywood Blogger' for continuously inspiring me. Also, all the readers who have sent me pics to review, especially Siddarth Reddy aka 'ksr' - thank you for the wonderful material. More fresh meat to gnaw at! I couldn't be happier...lol. Anyway, I guess all I wanna say is THANK YOU for your wonderful support and please keep it coming (whether in the form of appreciation or criticism) coz that's what keeps me going.

Is it just me or did I sound like a Bollywood tartlet cum starlet accepting her first worthless award?

Ahh...whatever...sod it! 100th post....weeeee!!!!!

Buzz you again at the 500th...lol (wink wink) :-)

Anushka (A+)

After a few average attempts, Anushka has finally hit the bull's eye. She is seen here at Baladoor (her new movie with Ravi Teja) audio release. She is looking radiant, fresh and very pretty.

Anushka has chosen a beautiful Anarkali dress with a white and peach color combo. The white makes her look serene, while the peach adds a feminine glow. I like the pattern on her bosom. It is light and yet full enough to keep the dress happening. Even her jhumkas (earrings) are good.

I must say, so far, this is the best choice of Anarkali and one of the better choices of Indian wear on our list of Fashion Suspects. Sneha, as you are soo obsessed with Anarkali style that you want to almost bring her back to life, you could do well by taking a leaf outta Anushka's book.

Trisha (C+) - Reader Files

Trisha always does this. One minute she's on the right track, and the next minute she's hopping clumsily.

Although I like her cute strapless yellow dress, she has made a horrible error of judgment by placing them with jeans. Had it been just a dress, it would be quite adorable. But, this is painfully hideous as the length of the dress does not allow it to go with the jeans. Her flowery bracelet thing is also making me nauseous.

Her clutch on the other hand is very innovative. Yellow dress and mustard clutch? I wasn't sure in the beginning, but gradually I'm starting to like it. It is an unconventional choice as usually this clutch is combined with black or other dark colored dresses. But, it is indeed a fresh approach and would have been wonderful if she had just chucked the jeans.

Sneha (C-) - Reader Files

Coy gal Sneha has again fished out something from her fugly collection of aunty-type salwar suits. At least, this one is comparatively, and I insist comparatively better than the last few.

The white dress is alrite. Actually that's a stretch, but whatever. Her pearl-type bracelet is fugly, of course. But the thing that caught my attention was her face. Looks like someone has had one two many burgers. If any of you are Sex and the City series fans you would remember a particular episode where one of the lead characters, Samantha has a cosmetic surgery done. Well, for those of you who aren't, let me walk you through it. Samantha has this procedure done wherein the doctor asks her to pump in lots of fatty foods so that later, they can remove the fat from her ass and place it on her face to make her lose some wrinkles and appear fresh. Yes, you read it right, ass to face!

When I first saw this pic, Sneha reminded me of just that...lol :)

Simran (D-) - Reader Files

As I always wonder and ponder, why do married actresses behave and dress like the Mother Teressa's of our time? Do they get amnesia or is it just laziness? Or are we supposed to believe that with all their millions, they couldn't hire help and therefore, have to do all the cooking, cleaning...etc. etc. themselves. And hence, the no-makeup, I-just-woke-up, I'm married-I'm serious with life and looking-like-something-out-of-the-trash look? Hmmph! What a pile of bollocks! (I have been reading a British novel presently, hence, the expression and excessive use of the word 'hence'...lol).

Anyway, coming to our point, I need exactly four words to describe her - You look like shit. I know you have a baby now and it must be too hard and stressful to dress yourself up and blah blah blah...just a word of advice, first thing tomorrow hire a stylist and buy a makeup case or wait till your kid has joined college, to attend public events. Coz, maybe then you would deign to dress up.

Sona (D-) - Reader Files

Nice dress. Ugly, makeup. Ugly fugly neck thing.

Sona has surprised many (and by that I mean myself a hundred times over...lol), by opting for this decent dark purple dress. It is not eye-catching, but at least classier when compared to her last one. But, she ruins it all by her over-the-top makeup and ...well... I dunno what to call the thing she has around her neck. For the purpose of this article, lets just call it the fugly neck thing.

So anyway, she seems to be very attached to her name. Hence, the sona (gold) that keeps popping up in her look. Here the glittery,goldy fugly neck thing has effectively ruined the look, but the wonder is I'm not sure as to what it is! It is not a necklace and definitely cannot be attached to the dress (oh, the horror!). So, what in god's name is it?

Maybe you guys could help me out?

Neetu Chandra ( D-) - Reader Files

Hey, that mannequin looks just like Neetu Chandra doesn't it? What, it is actually her? You don't say!

This figure hugging off shoulder dress was already cheap looking without the glittery silver design. I like her bracelet though, and wish she hadn't wasted it on this joke of a dress. But the thing that really get me are her makeup and hairstyle. It looks like a wig has been attached to her head.

Well, in the future if anyone wants to look like a wax model, you know where to head for instructions!

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Kajal (A+)

Kajal hits it out of the park. Her style and look is impeccable. I'm so happy and relieved to see that some fashion sense is still prevailing among our stars.

At first look it seems like she has worn a pencil skirt with a formal shirt. But, then you realise it is actually a dress and what a stylish one it is! The cut and design are very trendy and she seems to carry it off well.

Kajal adds to the look by her simplistic accessories and great choice of footwear. All in all, a 10 on 10.

Lets hope such efforts continue.

Bhumika (A-)

Wonder of wonders!!! Rejoice everyone! It has happened! The day has finally come! Bhumika got an A! I am ecstatic beyond words, and you will know why if you have seen her past record.

Beautiful, beautiful,, beautiful saree. Great choice! I love the design, and the work is exquisite. The color combination is very subtle and very gorgeous. I'm happy with her style of draping it, as it makes a huge difference to the look. I even like the cut of her blouse. The accessories are non-existent (again due to the launch), but that's absolutely fine since the saree is allowed to stand out.

The only thing that stopped me from giving her an A+ was her makeup. What is with the excessive use? It seems to be the theme of the launch. First Charmee, now Bhumika. Anyway... we can totally overlook that minor flaw and I can't tell you how happy and relieved I am that she didn't wear her trademark gold bangle! :)

Anushka (C+)

Anushka is seen here walking the ramp at the Wellness jewellery launch by Bhumika Chawla and her husband Bharat Thakur. The whole concept of Wellness jewellery is that the gems have some sort of magnetic energy which relieves stress. Well, the price range of the jewellery will be the first thing to cause you a stress at $300-$8000. Hmm...I'd rather go to the spa...anyway coming to our point...

The saree design is good, but the color doesn't allow it to showcase effectively. The blouse.adds some much needed zing to the outfit.
This is a very good example of how an average looking saree can be made gorgeous by the style of draping it. Here, Anushka's curves are showcased to the maximum extent. The accessories are non-existent which is understandable since she is showcasing the jewellery (yes, that little pendant you see on her neck is the magical gem).

But, why on earth is she wearing dark green chappals with a sky blue saree???

Venkatesh and Gopichand (D-)

Here are the uncles..sorry I mean heroes of our industry. While we are aware of that fact, they seem to be in their own wonderland. It seems they don't grasp the importance and responsibility of being a celebrity. The importance being to showcase new styles and trends and the responsibility of protecting us from such fugliness!

Looks like Venkatesh came to a badly dressed fancy dress competition. Gray pants with gray suede shoes?? Also, did you notice the pierced ear? Eww... And what's with the shirt? Reminds me of Mamata Mohandas's top at MAA awards. Fugly then, and fuglier now.

Gopichand, although young, is hell bent on not looking like one. Boring shirt, boring pants, boring shoes. I wonder, did he think he was going to the office or to a function?

These male stars are so deep into the fugly dressing, that they need a brain transplant to come out of it.

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Charmee (C-)

Here is Charmee, yet again in a saree. I wonder if she tied up with some saree company to market their products, I mean she never wears anything else!!! I'm sooo bored of her same look, but you gotta do what you gotta do. So here goes...

I like the black with gold border idea, but the design is way too blingy blangy and gives a very, very cheap look to the saree. Her accessories are thankfully minimal, but all the same, downright fugly. Why is it so hard to find a nice pair of earrings?

Her makeup meeds a special mention. Looks like she caused a drought in the market by her excessive use!

All in all, a lame and boring attempt by Charmee...yawn!

Devi Sri Prasad (D+)

Here is a pic of Devi Sri Prasad at his USA concert, sent to me by one of our readers 'Ksr'. I wonder, since when did music directors become the rock stars of our age? It's really sad indeed, and made even sadder by his choice of wardrobe.

Dahling, if you are hell bent on being a rock star, at least dress like one. What he has worn here is a fugly attempt at blending casual with punk. Had he stuck to one, he could have been bearable. The white shirt and jeans are a casual attire while the punky look is brought by the tattoo arm warmer. These arm warmers are a rage amongst most guys nowadays. When worn with the correct look, they can look pretty cool. But, of course one also needs the physique or personality to carry it off. While that is that, his shoes are the most out-of-place item, not casual and definitely not rock star.

We seriously need more stylists in our industry to cope up with such fugliness!

Smita (D-)

Smita, the Telugu pop star (and the lone one I might add) launched her new album a couple of days ago in Hyderabad. Now, when you are the center of attention at a party, what do you wear? For future reference, definitely not this!!!

The color of the dress clashes with her skin and the dress comes off as very cheap. I must say I have never seen anyone wear a silver belt with a leopard print sash/scarf attached and then match that to the shoes by wearing leopard print stilettos. It sounds very unique, innovative and FUGLY!

I mean for God sakes you are a pop star launching you new album! Have some sense (common, fashion...anything). I have posted the picture of her album cover. It looks quite nice doesn't it? I wish she had chosen the same stylist for the launch also and we would have been spared this fugly sight!

Varun Sandesh (D-)

Here is the lovable Chandu from Happy Days at the press meet of his new movie 'Kotha Bangaru Lokam'. Unfortunately there is nothing lovable about his look.

I know pink is hot for guys and makes them look very metrosexual. But that doesn't mean you can throw on any random piece of clothing and expect to look hot. His jeans are very fugly and cheap looking. Also, where on earth did you find those shoes? The trash can, perhaps? His messy hair, unclean face, out-of-place style is really frustrating, as he certainly has the potential to look good.

Keeping him company is the female lead of the movie Shweta Prasad (yes, the same chid star of K serials fame). She looks like a bloated, badly dressed with cheap looking shoes version of a small town girl.

Both of them look very aged, and to think they are playing +2 students in the movie! Let's hope their fugliness doesn't extend to the big screen.

Hansika (C+)

Yes! Finally she has achieved it! She has worn a dress appropriate to her age. Thank God!

Now, honey, next you gotta learn how to coordinate your look. The color of the dress looks fantastic against her skin. The design and cut of the dress is also very good, I especially love the little flower which adds a lot of feminine touch to the look. All the three colors in the dress have been effectively used without making it over-the-top. So, kudos to the designer.

But, alas, Hansika ruined all the efforts of the designer with her accesories. The shoes are great, but individually. Here, they just don't match. I wonder what is with her and Mary Janes. Anyway, the thing that really ruins the look is actually the bag. It looks monstrous and highly cheap.

Shriya (D-)

These days Shriya sure is making many public appearances. But seems she still hasn't grasped the importance of style in order to make an impact.

I have never seen her look so downright bimbo-ish and cheap. I mean c'mon honey, you don't need to flaunt your assets in everybody's face to be popular! There is a classy way to be sexy and that can never be achieved as long as you continue on the same horrible color palette. Also, haven't we had enough of your jeweled bust line dresses? We told you last time, they are never going to work, so please, chuck them all out.

Although I like her earrings, her shoes are a horror story. They complete this fugly look perfectly.

Compared to her disastrous attempt, I love the other girl's style. The empire-waist dress and the color combination is to die for. Even her accessories match perfectly (although I wish her clutch was a tad smaller). Still, it is a million times better than what Shriya wore.

I wonder when and where did she lose all her fashion sense!

Gopika Wedding (D-)

It was actress Gopika's wedding last week and she was seen in this gown on the big day. Now, wouldn't you think that a girl (an actress no less!) would take all the care in the world to ensure her style is perfect on the magical day?

Her wedding gown is hideously hideous to say the least. There are a million beautiful gowns out there and she had to choose this fugly one! I understand she wanted to look modest and decent, but this is totally inexcusable.

Check out these gowns. They are modest, stylish and very beautiful. I admit I was soo confused as to which gown to post here coz I found so many gorgeous ones out there! So I chose the best three.

Now don't they seem like something you should wear on your special day rather than that fugly thing?

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Shriya (B-)

Plain in Plaid. Now, thats unusual.

Usually,the Scottish attire can hardly be termed as plain, but sadly that is just what Shriya is looking here. There is nothing essentially wrong with this dress, but still it doesn't quite click. I'm thinking it's the same patterned belt. Had it been a solid big black belt, it would have added some definition to the look and provide the much needed contrast.

Also, her shoes are downright hideous! The bulky straps don't go with the look at all! But I must say, this is a huge improvement from last time. At least she's tried something different this time.

South Filmfare Awards 2008 (Phew!!!)

Phew!!! The usually quiet South film industry has been quite busy. 17 posts in one day! Being a fashion gatekeeper surely isn't easy. My body now calls for a hot cup of coffee and a good night's sleep...lol :)

You guys catch all the reviews and let me know who do you think dressed the best and worst at the South Filmfare Awards, 2008.

Good Day! :)

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Trisha - South Filmfare Awards 2008 ( A+)

Looks like Trisha has a particular fondness for off-shoulder mermaid gowns. Remember last time?

Comparitively, she does well this time. The color and design are good. The sequin work on her shoulder lets the dress stand out well. I would particularly like to appreciate the fitting, as the life of a mermaid gown is in that, and also to Trisha for having a great figure to carry it off. It is very important to remember that mermaid style should be attempted only by thin-figured ladies, since it is figure hugging.

Her choice of accessories is also good. She matches them to the sequin work well.

All in all, she manages to look sexy and classy. Also, many a times people wear great styles but in the wrong situations. I'm doubly happy coz she avoided that and dressed perfectly for the event.

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Nayantara - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (A+)

Did someone order a Greek Goddess straight up? Well, here's your delivery.

Awesome choice of dress - very Hollywood-esque. I love, love, love the design and fitting. The flowers give her a very feminine look while the gown gives her a sexy shade. She has sensibly kept the accessories simple to complement the dress and to let it stand out. Even her hair and makeup are good. All in all, a perfect style.

I'm only sad that I couldn't locate a full length picture coz I would love to see how this beautiful dress ends. If any of you guys have it,could you please send it to me?

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Shriya - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (D-)

You would think now that she is readying herself to become a part of Bollywood and Hollywood, she would be very careful about her dressing since every public appearance matters. But looks like Shriya is on a different plane altogether.

Horrible, horrible choice of color. Had it been two shades lighter, it could have been better but this shade clashes with her skin tone. The fugly designed belt stands out like a sore thumb in the middle of this pinkish mess. Her curls also don't go well with this look. I also loathe her watch and makeup (especially the lipstick!).

Is there anything I like about this look? NO!!!

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Hansika Motwani - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (C-)

The last time Hansika dressed more than her age, and now she dresses less than her age, or to be more clear, like a 12 year old.

The color is beautiful and it goes very well with her skin tone. But, the cut and design are very badly done. The gold design in the middle is especially horrendous. Even her accessories are very cheap looking (looks like someone went on their first trip to Charminar!).

The only good thing about this pic is her makeup and hairstyle. They are absolutely fab and deliciously perfect. But wtf is up with her nails? Is that really green nail polish?

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Allu Arjun - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (A-)

Allu Arjun keeps popping up in our list of Fashion Suspects. He is the only male star who attends various social events and tries out new fashion trends. So, we are more than happy to to review him and are especially delighted when he does well, like this time.

I like the shirt with vest thing he tried out. It was done by Navdeep previously, and while he made a mess out of it, Arjun keeps it simple and effective. The jeans also go well with the look.

The only thing that bothers me are his shoes. I'm on the fence on this one - not able to decide whether they are good or ugly. Friends, what do you think?

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Tabu - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (A-)

If wine gets better with time then Tabu gets more stylish with each passing year. From her horrendous errors in fashion to this classy and sexy lady of today, Tabu has come a long way.

Blue seems to be a popular color with ladies this season, you can see so many of them flaunting that it. Well, it suits Tabu very well. The saree is beautiful, but the blouse is what stands out most. It gives an edge and oomph to her look. It is good that the saree is simple to complement the blouse well. Even her accessories are effective and well choosen.

But, I hate her makeup as it ages her very much. But, all in all, a very successful attempt by Tabu.

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Katrina Kaif - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (A-)

This gal looks like an angel normally, and when she wears a gown like that...well...

Here, Katrina looks nothing short of a goddess. The design and fitting of the dress is just perfect and the color highlights her peachy complexion even more. It is so great to see a beautiful and simple dress. I wonder when will our celebrities abandon their over-the-top fugliness and adopt such beautiful styles and colors (sigh!).

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Ram Charan Teja - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (C+)

This guy certainly has the potential to look absolutely smashing, but unfortunately he always falls short in few places and one in particular - his hair. I don't understand with all his millions why can't he get a decent haircut? He badly needs to do something about that because day-by-day he is looking more like an uncle!

Here he has choosen a simple black suit. God knows why he complicated it by adding that fugly excuse of a belt. Is it really a belt or did you borrow something from your sister's accessories collection? I think it looks like a butterfly clip...well...whatever, it is hideous and not at all masculine, so please chuck that out immediately.

Be happy that you won a Filmfare award dahling, coz you ain't winning any fashion awards in the near future.

P.S :- The first pic is at the award show and the latter is at the after party. Which one do you prefer?

Ramya - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (A+)

Wow! Just wow!! This stylish gal can give all the leading ladies of our industry a run for their money.

Beautiful choice of color, just beautiful. It goes with her complexion very well. And I love the material, cut and design of the dress. It fits perfectly and magnificently. Ladies, especially Priyamani and Namitha, take note, this is one of the best ways to wear a dress - stylish yet classy, sexy yet decent.

But, the place where Ramya scores the most is her choice of shoes. I was bowled away to say the least. They are just perfectly contrasting and gel beautifully.

I am a little unhappy with her makeup, but I did not deduct any marks for that because she is one of the few Southies who has shown true fashion sense and certainly deserves more than an A+.

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Namitha - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (D-)

She's done it again!

As I predicted last time, Namitha has gone ahead and beaten her own standard of fugliness.

What is with her and short-tight-fugly dresses? They seem to share a janam janam ka rishta (a forever bond). Here, she looks like a cross between a ghost gone haywire and a sleazy bar dancer from the 80's. And to think she went like this to the biggest award show in south!!! Jesus! Girl, for the last time, lose some weight or stop wearing these dresses!

She is time and again proving her title of 'The fugliest of our Fashion Suspects'.

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Priyamani - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (D+)

What the...! Am I dreaming? I must be...wait let me check. (Pinch myself hard). Ouch! Nope am not.Then, this is true. Priyamani has finally worn a dress which doesnt make me wanna hit her. Yea!

I'm not saying this is a great dress. Infact, it hardly qualifies as ok.

Usually one cannot go wrong with the little black dress, but since this is our beloved Priyamani such facts don't apply to her. It is clear even from here that the material of the dress is cheap. On top of it the spiral design on it is downright fugly. I especially loathe the black buckle sorta thing on her bosom. As usual, her accessories are downright fugly and mis-matched. Her makeup is totally over the top (too much of blush!).

Then why did I give her a D+ instead of her usual D- you ask, well, once you look at her past record, you will know why.

Copyright © 2008 Tollywood Fashion Police. All rights reserved.

Charmee - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (D-)

What is with Charmee and sarees? She seems to like wearing nothing but them. It's alright if she picks good ones but sadly, as always that is not the case.

She has picked a saree color which is very, very similar to the one she wore at MAA awards function.Then, it seemed unique and beautiful. Now, it is boring and ugly. The design of the saree just makes me wanna puke! Also, what is up with the big and bulky clutch? Clutches with heavy dresses should always be small.

The only good thing are her beautiful earrings. I gotta find out where she got them!

I'm starting to think that she falls in the one-time-wonder category. Wut say people?

Surya and Jyothika - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (B- and D+)

Here is one of Kollywood's (Tamil cinema) most famous couples - Surya and Jyothika. Let us start with Surya, coz he's looking oh-so-cool!

I love his shirt, especially the print at the bottom. Usually guys end up looking like a complete doofus in print shirts, but Surya has managed to remain classy. The jeans also complement the shirt well.

I'm loving his chain but he loses marks because of the belt. It is unsightly.

All in all he manages to look cool and casually classy.


His wife Jyothika on the other hand looks just the opposite. You'd think some of his fashion sense would rub off on her.But no, she is determined to make the same mistakes all the married south actresses make. I don't understand why do they stop caring about their style once they are married. I mean, they are still celebrities!

Here, a nice baby doll top would look cute on her and would also hide her weight. Also dahling, throw out everything you have on right now.You can keep the clutch, though, and please jazz up your hair a bit!

Reema Sen - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (C+)

I love the design and cut of Reema's dress. It is absolutely gorgeous. But that doesn't show much due to the color of the dress and her complexion. It fades her out and one won't be able to give it a second glance.

Her clutch ( God! Its soo fugly!) and earrings are a total mismatch for the look. Her bracelet, on the other hand is absolutely beautiful and complements the look well. I also love her hairstyle. It suits her very much.

All I can say is that be careful about the color of your clothes and be sure to choose according to your complexion.

Sangeeta - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (C-)

Even too much sugar ruins the pudding. Here, too much of a design ruins the look.

The neckline would be a lot better if it were little thinner and the work on the dress seems a little too much. The earrings and makeup are fine.

Just some minor alterations could make this dress a lot better.

Sona - South Filmfare Awards 2008 ( D-)

Sona seems to take inspiration from Namitha. How else would you explain the tight, ugly and sleazy dress?

The print and material are horrible to say the least. And the dress is so tight I'm afraid her assets will pop out any moment! If fugliness is the look she is going for then the dress and shoes match well.

Also dear, what is up with the sona (gold) around your ankle? Taking a cue from Bhumika?

The only saving grace is that the dress is not short. Thank God! We were saved from that sight!

Genelia (C-)

Short, figure hugging dress with a pleated skirt. This look can be immensely sexy or downright bimbo-ish. Genelia of course falls under the latter.

Flamingo pink is a hard color to work with. One ends up looking very in-your-face if not done properly. And when you use it for a tight, short dress...well...many, many, many errors are possible.

This dress makes her look like a desperate wannabe and is not at all correct for the occassion (Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na premiere). She worsens it by her choice of footwear. I'm not even sure which category to place them in. Some nice black peep-toes could have lessened this disaster.

I have posted a similar model of figure hugging, short dress with a skirt at the helm. Now don't you think that is much, much better and classier compared to what she wore?

Hansika Motwani (D+)

Looking at this pic would you believe that this girl is 17 years old? Well, I wouldnt.

Why would she wanna dress up like this outside of a movie? No actually, why would any actress want to look like this? What is the point of a celebrity looking like plain jane?

Her dress is so normal I had to stifle a yawn while looking at it. Her hair looks so artificial I wanna check whether it is a wig.

Her choice of accessories is also a major bummer. Hoop earrings while wearing this ensemble...I don't think so.

Also, why is she wearing Mary Jane's with Indian wear? Lord o lord! Someone please go and throw this kiddo in fashion school.

P.S :- Is it just me or does she have a slight Bhagyashree look here?

Sneha (D-)

Last time I could hear Anarkali groan in her grave, now I can hear her curse. Well, even if she isn't, allow me to take that privilege.

Okie dahling I know you are in love with Anarkali style and want to seem homely and coy, but do you have to be so in our face? In case you dont know, there is a word called subtlety. Let me introduce you to it coz you seem blissfully unaware of that.

Next time if we see you in a bling-blang fugly dress with over the top accessories and heavy makeup, well... you are going to be buried alive in a wall like your dear inspiration Anarkali.
