Style Watch

Call it the Indian version of When Bad Clothes Happen to Good People...but the Mumbai premiere of Saawariya consisted of the worst Red Carpet round-up perhaps witnessed in modern times. Just when we thought our Indian celebs were getting trendier by the day, the B-wood glitterati decided to take fashion faux pas to another level...

Priyanka Chopra
The skinny jeans fit well, and even the gold heels are of reasonable compliment. But good lord, what is with that top? This, my friends, is East Meets West at its ugly best. Even on its own, the overly-done peacock detailing is utterly tacky, and the velvet blue trim at the bottom looks out of place. One wonders what Ms. Chopra was thinking when she draped this shapeless piece over her otherwise fit body. Let me add: You do not carry a cream snakeskin purse with gold sandals and a heavily-detailed top. So much for that Koffee with Karan award for Best Dressed...
Grade: D- (we'll give her at least a point-and-a-half for the nicely-fitting jeans and heels...and because she's that hot)









Lara Dutta
Ms. Chopra could seek comfort in the fact that her apparent arch-rival Lara Dutta put on an even more hideous display by choosing to dress in a medieval bedspread. Apart from the flowing churidar that's about as outdated as Ranbir Kapoor's hairstyle, the mixing of fabrics is downright atrocious. The gold accent shouts Xena the Warrior Woman (cause she was oh-so fashionable), and the yellow peasant sleeves do little to help her case. And that print...why God why? Leave it on your pillowcase, Ms. Dutta. Hands down, the worst dressed of the night.
Grade: F- (for inflicting this massacre on the unsuspecting public)










Salman Khan
The less said about Lara's on-screen 'Partner', the better. Ever since Sallu proclaimed he was in love with Govinda's stylist, we knew there was no digging him out of the grave he quite frankly dug for himself. But embroidering your crotch area is about as low as you can get (no pun intended). One wonders if he was taken in by the beaming lights that glimmer from the Saawariya sets, but one also wishes he did not apply that same attention to...that region. Paired with that a glittering Rolling Stones tee under a rather dapper black leather jacket, and Sallu is about as clueless as Kim Sharma when she speaks.
Grade: D (points for the jacket, only...)






Rani Mukherjee
Not known for her off-screen dress sense, Rani usually plays it pretty safe in traditional wear. Though not disastrous, here she is caught doing what she does best: boring us to tears. Not to mention, she has most definitely worn this before, and I will make it my goal to find out when and where. Moreover, it is not at all complimentary to her not-so-frail frame.
Grade: C (it ain't the worst, but it leaves a lot to be desired)












Hema Malini
If only Hemaji had stuck to the elegant saris that uphold her iconic status. This Chinese-inspired jacket looks like it belongs on a waitress. Although Vidya Balan is not all that visible, she seems to be rocking the black...only in a rather blasé manner.
Grade: C (she's older, it's only fair we give her some extra leeway for not being acquainted with trends from the modern fashion world)












Amisha Patel
She can't act, she can't dance and evidently she can't dress either. It's not easy to get a sari wrong, but somehow Ms. Patel manages to do just that in this absurd concoction of metallic, chiffon embroidery and...bright pink florals. How the gold clutch relates is any one's guess. And no, matching your lipstick to the flamingo pink does not help.
Grade: F (for being loud, tacky and just for being Amisha Patel)











Sonali Kulkarni
A body suit...seriously....seriously? Not that body suits should ever be worn, but at least have the figure for it. After all, if you've got it, flaunt it...but if you don't, kindly hide it. And hide your underwear, while you're at it.
Grade: F- (at the risk of sounding repetitive, seriously?)















Kangana Raunat
The red is hot, the skin show is not. The odd-looking Kangana flaunts her non-existent torso in a red chiffon sari. Nothing is wrong with the sari, but perhaps an actual blouse rather than a bra would give her that extra bit of class. Also, something must be done with that puffy hair and vampire makeup. Also, an alternate-colored purse and pair of shoes would do her some good. There's sexy red, and then there's a bloodbath.
Grade: B- (kudos for trying and looking better than the rest of the lot)













Those Who Prevailed

Hrithik & Suzanne Roshan
Well, it was more of Hrithik who prevailed rather than his wife. It seems the 't-shirt under blazer with jeans and white trainers' is Duggu's new favorite look. It was the same look that won him the Best Dressed on Koffee with Karan and recent Style Icon award but also similar to what he sported when picking up the Most Stylish Male award at the 2007 MTV Lycra Style Awards. Fair enough, Duggu...rock on while you're still young and hot. His batter half, on the other hand, was a little blah in a highly-sequined baby pink top that reminds one of how doting mothers dress their helpless tots for weddings. The shoes are too casual, but hats off to Mrs. Roshan for looking that fit after recently pushing out the cute couple's first child.
Grade: B (mostly due to Hrithik, but he loses points for the male skinny jeans with apparent slit at the bottom)





Sushmita Sen
The stunning Sushmita could very well have been attending friend Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om premiere in an obvious reprisal of her acclaimed Main Hoon Na sexy sari routine. The color does wonders for her curiously tanner complexion, and the jewelry is simple yet effective. Now if only someone would name that conspicuous fellow accompanying her in the lazy white salwar kameez.
Grade: B+ (how's about a sequel to Main Hoon Na?)












Urmila Matondkar & Tusshar Kapoor
We have no idea why on earth they appeared together, or perhaps it was just the cameramen making it seem that way, but at least they made the effort to look somewhat trendy. There may be a little too much going on with Urmila's sari, but it manages to be daring without overstepping that fine line between trying something different and trying too much. The teal is also lovely, paired with a simple black blouse given the sari itself has enough design to sustain itself. Tusshar, much as I hate to admit, looks rather contemporary in a pair of dark jeans with a black button-down and black blazer. The black belt is a nice accent...well done, Tusshar. It looks like you're not completely useless after all.
Grade: A- (there's obvious grade inflation what with the overall debacle of the rest)





Rekha
Age is no match for Rekhaji as she stuns in a crystal-embroidered banarasi sari. She looks every bit as opulent as the film on display. The likes of Karan Johar would be very proud. Who is the mystery man (or should I say boy)?














The Winners

Saif Ali Khan & Kareena Kapoor
Hate 'em or love 'em, they are perhaps the hottest couple on the market. Saif is sexiness personified in a solid black blazer with jeans, and then there is that stubble...Kareena, meanwhile, has never looked better. After the stunning Manish Malhotra dress she sported at the 2007 Filmfare Awards and now this chic and sexy sari, she's fast becoming one of the better dressed celebs out there. The black and red is a classic mix, and she shows off just the right amount of her newly-toned physique. The turquoise accent is a stroke of genius, and one can only imagine it is Mr. Malhotra at the helm yet again.
Grade: A (how more ideal can a situation be where every guy wants to be Saif, and every girl wants to be Kareena)

Solid article - brina sa - got me up to speed.

Dude I definitely agree - Priyanka and Lara looked terrible - and Hrithik just seems like he's taking his clothing from Dhoom 2....

Saif and Kareena....oh god.."she was looking very fat...."

and it was soo much fun reading those. Lara Dutta was a disaster. I love that old style stuff and like 3 years ago I asked my mom to get me peshwaaz made like in Mughal e azam for my cousin's wedding but of course the tailor ruined it. The style is coming back but Lara's clothes were just hideous.

And I loved your coment on Amisha Patel. Seriously, she never does anything right. (that came off as harsh, but it's the truth)

and btw...the guy with Rekha is friend of my brother's and went to UC Berkeley....it's her nephew...and he's decided to go into acting.

not bad eh :)

If there is a change in the search engine algorithms, it is
also up to the service provider to keep a watch on such activities.
Spend some time to design a good-looking 404 page, site offline page,
etc. You can then take a hard look at the companies that come up for that
particular keyword. Working with an SEO expert in your
country can help as SEO experts within the same country generally
know how to optimize websites for a specific country's audience more effectively. Organic SEO uses valid and safe techniques to rank your site for its keyword. Examine in detail the shift in the customers' rank, and progress in their positions.
Since keyword analysis is needed for both SEO (search engine
optimization) and SEM, we often confuse using these terms. This is
because there is a stiff competition in this particular field and the market is flooded
with lots of firms that provide proficient SEO experts India services
at the economical costs. Google bowling messes up the external ranking used by
Google and penalizes a sites ranking compared it the competitors.

Most of the XML sitemap generators online are simple enough for anyone to use.
organic search, frequency of blog posts, frequency of on-page optimization, the relative importance of links, the use of
social media, the best way to measure results, etc. For instance, how many
TV viewers then came to your car lot and purchased a vehicle.

Their success is based on how many sales and customers you bring.
Immediately the word free caught my eye.
In this article, I will show you the best Word - Press SEO plugins you need to use in
order to boost your search engine rankings and get more
traffic to your blog. A well-formed internal linking structure and good sitemap can ensure all pages of a website being indexed by a search engine.

With most visitors noting the first 3-5 web links of the first page,
further sustained SEO efforts bring the company
web link to that web positioning high up as much as possible.
Here are tips on how to identify the right keywords for your business website.

If there's a real lesson here, it is that you should make a reasonable profit on a regular basis selling books or anything else, and once in awhile you'll get
an unexpectedly nice payday. Savings bonds can be purchased in electronic form, but the most familiar are the paper Series EE bonds purchased for one-half the denomination of the bond.
This may sound obvious but when you sell a business it's more important to listen and ask questions than continually talk to try and 'sell' the business.
