Seriously, How Good Does This Woman Look?

When Ms Basu gets it right (that is when she's not wearing a "frock", or sporting Golliwog hair, or busy ruining a Sabyasachi saree with a tacky filmy bikini blouse just 'coz she's got the bod), she gets it SO right.



These are casual appearances and not photo shoots, so the styling is most likely her own.

She's the only Indian celebrity I know who can make a ghastly dress or a tacky gown work on her...



...and look gorgeous with exaggerated make-up.



Way to go, BB!

Can I have those arms PLEASE? NOW.

@Moonshine - It's a Gauri & Nayanika dress. They went through a "flower" phase during one of their seasons.

oh boy. That was SEXY...!!!

Scarlett said...

@Eye-in-sty-in - What was? BB or me doing a post on her? :p

eye-in-sty-in said...

I'd be lying if I said its just you doing the post... So i'll come out clean and say it is you and it is BB and it is you doing a post on BB... [Wondering if I said it right...? :O ]

But yes, apart from BB's HOT HOT HOT bod, I also looked at the clothes... Must say you sure know how to pick 'em...

Scarlett said...

@Eye-in-sty-in - I like BB. Not only for her sense of style but also as a person. She's smart & talks very sensibly.

Coming to the clothes, I "like" to believe that I have a good sense of fashion. Now I just wish I had the money to buy the kind of clothes BB buys & the body to flaunt them. Only if wishes were horses...sigh!

I have not heard BB speak except in movies, but yes, she does carry and present herself well.

going by your pic, I think you do have a very good sense of fashion. I on the other hand am fashion challenged... Can I 'hire' you to shop for me sometime? :D

While bips may be lucky when it comes to earning, i bet even she has to work for her body... and something tells me you already work out, am I right Scarlett? ;-)

Scarlett said...

@Eye-in-sty-in - Do I want to be your personal shopper? Hmmmm...

I wish it was a real career option in India. It is in the West and they get paid quite well for it too. Imagine what an awesome job that would be for someone who loves clothes, shoes, bags etc! You wake up & go shopping everyday (so what if it's not for yourself?), you pick the right accessories for outfits, you style people up...AWESOME!

Yes I do work out but I have a long way to go before I can claim to be in any sort of shape :)

and then there's always the option to be a purchase manager for a fashion apparel... that reminds me - what do u do?

Scarlett said...

@Eye-in-sty-in - I work in an industry far removed from fashion. Market Research. That's as drab as fashion is creative.
