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?

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 :)

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???

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!

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.

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?

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?

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.

Laxmi Rai - South Filmfare Awards 2008 (C-)

Nice snazzy halter top, great earrings and a nice belt with a complimentary jeans. Great look honey! Going to the mall?

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?

Shriya (C+)

Well, after sinking to low depths, Shriya seems to have regained some of her original self.

I am in love with the color of the dress. It goes very well with her complexion and is a refreshing change. But, the design on the helm of the dress is absolutely hideous and sadly she has matched her accessories to that!

Also her hair is badly in need of some washing and styling. You must be wondering why I gave her a C+ after such a review...well, once you look at her last few attempts you will know why..lol.

Kamalini Mukherjee (C-)

Looks like this gal is ready to make a transition from her usual homely avatar. Such girls always need to tread carefully because they usually end up combining the two - homely and glamorous, and churn out a disaster. Something of that sort has happened here, but on a smaller range.

Her dress is fine - not bad but not great either. Such dresses can be made great through the accessories. Sadly, she has ruined it further. Her fugly necklace needs a replacement or better yet just remove it. Just add some great pair of earrings and honey, you will look great. Trust me.

Ahh...but here comes the main problem. She has worn a 'gold bracelet'!!! When Bhumika did it, it was loathsome but atleast understandable since she was wearing Indian at that time. But you honey are totally unexcusable.

Lady you need to come out of your earlier shell if you wanna step into this new one.

Trisha ( C-)

Here Trisha is seen walking the ramp at a Chennai fashion show wearing a green off-shoulder mermaid gown.

Leme first list out the stuff I like about her look. The color and off-shoulder style are good. The detailing on her bosom is fine but could be better if it were more minute. Also, its good that she minimized the jewelery and wore appropriate ones.

But, there is a problem with the design. A mermaid gown will look stuffy and over the top if the frills are not done properly. Here the designer has the same length frills throughout the dress. Had he/she used small frills at the knee and worked the way down with larger frills, this dress would have been gorgeous. Also, the horrible glitter on the frills should be done away with immediately. It makes the whole dress look cheap.

Trisha adds to the ruin by using an over the top clutch. It looks like many birds had to sacrifice their wings to make that. Its utterly wrong for the look. Since, a mermaid gown in itself is a statement, one should always go with a simple clutch...in this case a silver one would have been good.

Well, thank god for one thing. Atleast Trisha has a great figure to carry off this gown.

P.S :- I have posted another mermaid gown designed by Oscar De La Renta, so that you can get an idea of my analysis.

Shriya (C-)

Shriya is definitely not upto the mark here.

The dress make her legs look very short and awkward. Although I like the color, the dress would be a lot better without the tacky long sheer sleeves.
Also what is up with her accessories. She has used fusion earthen earrings and bracelet which are not at all apt for this look.

But I must say, I am loving her back cut. It is looking very classy and sexy. Unfortunately her horrible sleeves are ruining it.

Choose better next time, Shriya.

Asin ( C+)

Here Asin is at the Chennai launch of the July edition of Vogue magazine featuring her as the cover.

I like the color and the cut of the dress. What I don't like are the sashes hanging by her sides. What are they there for? For her to use them as wings and fly? They appear completely out of place and kill the dress.

Some nice accessories would have added to the look. Its good to go minimal on the accessories but completely avoiding them is a big no-no.

Also, it would be good if she did something with her hair. Its always in the same style and I'm sick of it. C'mon honey, you are going to be a Bollywood star now... liven it up a notch!

Shriya at IIFA ( C-, A+ and A+)

Shriya sure has gone a longgg way from the innocent gal of Nuvve Nuvve to the IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) red carpet at Bangkok. It's great to see our stars making their mark in national and international spheres. Now, coming to her look.

The first look is not at all right. I appreciate the color and the earrings but the cut, design and fitting are not at all good. I especially loathe the horrendous design which makes her look like a badly dressed-trying to be glamorous cheap wannabe.

The second look is perfection. There is no other word for it. Just plain perfection. She looks soo classy and beautiful. Her makeup is just amazing and the cut and make of the dress is very sexy yet classy. Now, that's a tough combination to achieve. Her hairstyle is absolutely apt for the look and her earrings are beautiful too. She looks like a Hollywood star!

The third look is also equally fantastic. The dress is soo beautiful I have no words to describe it. Her hairstyle and makeup( highly defined eyes with plain lips) are just perfect for the look and I love her earrings. I especially like her T-shaped strappy sandals. All in all this look makes her look like a goddess!

I know these looks were especially designed only beacause of IIFA but I wish our other stars would take a few tips from them.

Anyway, I have given a C- for the first look and A+ for the second and third looks. The middle one remains my favourite. What about yours???

Bhavana ( C-)

Sometimes one chooses the dress, accessories etc. carefully but makes a mistake while putting them together.

Bhavana's top, capris and boots look great, but, individually. Together, they just dont match.

Her top seems a tad too tight and her capris look just a bit blah. Had she teamed it up with a nice snazzy belt it would be good. But, the belt she has choosen here is worn by 50 year-old uncles and not hot, young stars. To make matters worse she went ahead and tried matching her yucky belt with a yucky watch.And still, they are of different colors and make a yucky picture.

But, the most important rule she has forgotten is 'Never wear ankle boots with capris'. They cut off a few inches of one's height and add weight to the legs. They also make one's calves look big.

Now why would anyone want to deliberately look short and fat???
