After the disastrous show put on by Mallika Sherawat at the Dasavataram audio release, it was a refreshing change to see a classy gal.
I know Anarkali dresses are the latest fad but one has to be very careful while selecting one because if the dress doesn't suit you, you shall end up looking big and bulky. Fortunately, this doesn't happen with Asin.
Her dress is not bad , but not great either.
The color is veryy pretty - it makes a pleasant image. The duppatta is also very good and I like the innovation of moth balls hanging at its end. But, I'm not sure the high collar suits her and the polka dotted print looks a bit much. But it's good that people are moving from the traditional Anarkali style and adopting fun innovations of the material, design, cut etc.
One should always keep the accessories and makeup simple and minimal while donning Anarkali style because the dress in itself is very heavy. Good that she followed that rule.
I wish she had also followed the rule of wearing beautiful footwear coz the design of her sandals is butt ugly!
But, all in all, she looks beautiful.
I wonder why this gurl refuses to look classy and chic. It's not like she cant ( have you seen Pyar Ke Side Effects?), but she just simply refuses to do so. What other conclusion would you draw when she decides to wear this number to a hyped movie audio function which includes many Indian stars and Jackie Chan?
Very few people can pull off a lace dress without looking cheap. Sadly, Mallika is not one of those. The short and tight dress has a very cabaret-ish look to it and Mallika's image adds fuel to the fire. The accessories are not even worth mentioning.
Also, I'm sick of seeing her in the same hairstyle for years. She could put her image to some fun use and shake it up a bit.
Mallika, honey, a word of advice, why dont you shock the hell out of us one day by wearing a decent classy dress?
There is a gracious way to grow old and a stunted one. Hema Malini showcases the former while Jayaprada comes under the latter category.
One look at Hema Malini and you'll know why she is known as one of the most classy ladies of yesteryears. The color of her saree is very pretty and goes well with her complexion and the makeup is upto the mark. The jewellery is also very beautiful - I like that she wore a Baju Bandh (arm bracelet). Although, I'm not sure I like the choice of purse - it's too matchy-matchy and does not go well with the look.
All in all, she manages to look very classy, graceful and age appropriate.
Jayaprada, on the other hand, manages to look just the opposite. The high collar, bling blang dress with in-your-face color combo, the million bangles, all together make a disaster. She looks fat and short.
Granted, she is considered one of the most beautiful South Indian actresses, but she could do well with taking a leaf or two from Hema Malini's book.
