"Girly" Does It

I love love love this orange-pink-grey Georges Chakra dress that Elizabeth Banks wore at the Cannes 2010 Red Carpet. It's soft, feminine, romantic and happy & playful at the same time!






I love how the soft colors come together in this swirling dress, love the flowiness of the fabric (organza), the shoulder detail and how she's kept the entire look so soft & feminine. It's such a "girly" dress, I'm lovin' it!!

BUT (and there's always a 'but', isn't there? :) I can't help feeling I would've loved the dress much more without the trail. Then again, that's me...I'm not a big fan of sweeping trails and I have a thing for short dresses ;)

She paired the dress with satin nude pumps. Another great choice! Absolutely Fabulous!!

And It Just Got Better!

After a stellar appearance in a pink/fuschia pleated gown at the Cannes Film Festival, Aishwarya Rai gives us another Ab Fab appearance in a - hold your breath - Sabyasachi saree!!

She paired her ombre & gold embroidered saree with a dark green velvet blouse. I would've prefered a deep red blouse given the ombre base of the saree, but then that might have become too conventional. There's nothing to fault with this look.

She kept her accessories to a minimum, kept her neck bare. She also kept her make-up as nude as it could get. I thought both were excellent decisions - she let the saree be the center of attention.

I love Sabya. He's so different from the other Indian designers and his clothes are so breath-takingly beautiful that even something that's mediocre by his standards, looks exquisite. To me in any case!

Hoping we get more Sabya sightings in the days to come when she gets busy promoting 'Raavan' at Cannes :)

Nailing It

Aishwarya Rai finally got her look completely right. Nailed it. She wore a fuschia Gucci gown to the premiere of 'Wall Street : Money Never Sleeps' at Cannes.

I love the color of her gown, love the mute make-up, love that she didn't over-do the accessories. The hair is perfect. And it also proves the point I made on my other blog about empire waistlines looking wayyy better on her than hip-hugging gowns.

The only grouse I have is to do with the untoned arms & back. I know, I know...we should cut her some slack, but then as someone mentioned "she's a movie star...she's part of the glamour industry...not a soccer mom". She really should pay attention to her body. She has confessed many times that she doesn't gym but I think it's about time she started. Afterall, gravity is known to do very unkind things to ageing women. And at 37/38, ageing she surely is.
