What do you think of these fashionable choices? Take our poll and let us know!
We caught a few famous faces strutting their stuff around town in recent weeks at see-and-be-seen social dos and events. Who wore what and more importantly, which outfits struck out big-time? Tell us what you think!
We start off with Bollywood's youngest fashionista, Sonam Kapoor, who donned this peachy polka-dotted number (by Vivienne Westwood, no less) for the music launch of her next project Aisha. Pretty or too plain? You decide.
Wearing a cocktail and a cheeky grin
Kangana Ranaut turned up at a magazine party in this empire-waisted number that shows a lot of leg. Still, considering some of her other red carpet choices, this seems pretty tame in comparison! What do you think?
Lady in red
Seems like Jacqueline Fernandez is everywhere lately. She decided to keep things short 'n' hot in this outfit, with killer heels to show off her shapely gams -- does she hit the spot or miss it by a wide margin?
Superman style
Bollywood's hottest young hunk Ranbir Kapoor chose to fulfill his endorsing duties looking casual and cool, but is that Superman tee a tad cliched?
Animal overkill
Hmmm -- speaking of cliches, when will Sherlyn Chopra stop trying so hard? We know she's got a killer bod, but satin animal-print minis are just trashy. Sherlyn, next time around try a simple but classy number that doesn't sit so tight -- and leave the lenses at home!
Beauty in blue
Flattering fit, check. Tasteful accessories, check. Natural beauty, check. This is definitely one of Sushmita Sen's better red carpet appearances -- everything is just as it should be!
Wowing in white
Ex-model Aditi Gowitrikar is positively glowing in this pic and her sheath dress is great for summer. Add to that her gorgeous stilettos and stylish handbag and it's like she belongs on the catwalk even now. What say?
Shock talk
Okay, we know Sonu Nigam received a lot of flack for this one a couple of weeks ago, but we couldn't resist including it anyway! We will wisely say nothing about the ponytails and boots, but you can -- vote for or against his look!
Ethnic turn
Ameesha Patel is usually decked out in minimal clothing, so it's refreshing to see her in a comparatively modest ethnic outfit (barring the neckline, but then that's asking too much). But somehow, she seems rather more petite than usual, isn't it?
Keeping things bright
We can't quite make up our minds about Dia Mirza's choice here -- on one hand, it's a refreshing, relaxed little dress and on the other, she looks kind of like a glass of orangeade. What's your take on it?
Bling bling
Socialite Queenie Dhody may be dripping in designerwear from tip to toes, but there's too much of shine happening here -- the belt, the bag, the shoulder embellishments. And those clumsy platforms have her rather shapely legs looking very skinny.
Leather Charlie
Someone please tell Riteish Deshmukh that this look went out in the '80s? Even if you want to look like Hell's Angel, dear, Mumbai in summer is hardly the place for leather jackets!
Svelte 'n' slick
She shows off her enviably toned bod every chance she gets, but we're not complaining! Mandira Bedi gives us a charming smile as she poses in a skintight blue cocktail number at a suburban hotel.
'Max'ing out satin
Maria Goretti opted for a satin maxi at a recent do and makes for a pretty picture. The colours compliment her glowing complexion and thankfully, she skipped accessorising save for a delicate bracelet.
Beads galore
Actress Simone Singh went into bead overkill with her necklace, earrings and sandals, but her kaftan-y tunic is thankfully devoid of any add-ons. On the whole a striking, if unusual combination.
Keeping comfy
And finally, we have actor Prateik Babbar looking comfy as can be in flipflops and a loose tee that still can't quite conceal his fab physique. Very down-to-earth, don't you think?
