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.
