    Aamir Khan and wife Kiran Rao were spotted on the red carpet at the premiere of ‘True Grit’ a film by US film-maker brothers Ethan and Joel Coen. This was on the opening day of the international Berlinale film festival where Aamir is part of the jury. Its not a film we are too interested in, but what Kiran is wearing. Usually quite fashion forward, you don’t know what to expect from Kiran. But in most cases she makes it work. This time she picked a classic and elegant Anarkali and how gorgeous does she look. We so want that jacket! And Aamir looks cute as a school boy in the black sherwa...

    Anil Kapoor looking dapper in a black sherwani and white chudidar (not to miss the gem-studded brooch by Raj Mahtani pinned to his chest pocket) walked the ramp for Anamika Khanna at Delhi Couture Week. He was joined on stage by three three gorgeous ladies of ‘Aisha’-  Ira Dubey, Amrita Puri and Lisa Haydon. Not surprising that Anamika’s official theme statement was, ‘The emotional journey of a bride’. The jewelley by Raj Mahtani was interesting and Anamika’s clothes have a sophistication about them. But did you feel a bit underwhelmed like us? ...

    Actor Imran Khan got engaged to Avantika Malik at his family’s sprawling farm house in Karjat. Imran looked dapper in a black sherwani and ivory silk kurta designed by Varun Bahl and Karan Johar. Avantika chose an unusual velvet lehenga, in blue and gold. What was really disappointing was her unconventional choli—which did nothing to flatter her personality or figure. The bride’s mother also wore a velvet lehenga—we heard Varun Bahl designed the bride and her mother’s ensemble too. Imran’s uncle Aamir Khan, his wife Kiran Rao and other family members and close friends attended the ...

    When actor Sammir Dattani wed Ritika Jolly in Dehradun, the Times of India, stated the wedding was ‘Low on Celeb Quotient but High on Excitement’. Tonight, at Sammir and Ritika’s Reception at Cricket Club of India (CCI), Mumbai we expect the opposite. After all, weddings in smaller towns, complete with naach-gaana, have an element of energy and fun, not usually seen in celeb-studded Mumbai receptions. The star last seen in ‘I Hate Love Storys’ and his scriptwriter bride wanted their wedding to be a family affair, complete with traditional festivities, so Dehradun, where Ritika’s g...

    Shyamal & Bhumika’s collection titled “Bejewelled” was inspired by Maharajas and their grandeur. On display were heaviest of velvets, lots of silk nets, gold lame and brocades– in jewel tones like bright red, sangria, plum, wine, emerald green, gold ochre and champagne beige. Our top picks from the show- the heavily embroidered maroon lehenga with dep red dupatta and beige choli; and the splendid red and green sari that Sunidhi Chauhan walked the ramp in. The highpoint of the show was the ramp walk by dapper music directors, Salim and Sulaiman– the former in a red dhoti salwar an...
