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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

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!!!

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'.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Namitha (D-)

Is it just me or does she look like the female Dara Singh?

This girl seems hell bent on setting a new benchmark for fugliness. The dress itself is not bad. Infact, it is great. But should not be worn by such heavy figured ladies. She did the same thing last time.

I'm giving her the title of 'Most Fugliest' in our list of Fashion Suspects. Lets see, whether she is able to beat her own standard next time (wink wink)...lol.
