Several Bollywood stars were spotted at Sridevi’s 50th birthday bash looking like fashion disasters. While one would expect big names from showbiz to up the ante and put their most stylish foot forward, most of these celebs shocked us with their fashion choices.
Sridevi
The birthday girl herself, who mostly looks glamorous, did not maintain her usual elegance. In her silk Prabal Gurung floral printed dress, she failed to make an impression. The open hair could have been tied up for a more formal look. The dress is better suited for day events, and the fitting is not complementing her figure at all — no points for no grace.
Genelia D’souza
Genelia D’souza looked good in her red Gauri and Nainika dress. Her light make-up gives her an au-natural look that balances out that lace at the neck (which we don’t quite love), but at least it’s saving her from looking too over-the-top. Her black heels are simple and unexciting and the Alexander McQueen clutch appears out of place with this feminine look.
Bhavna Pandey
Actor Chunkey Pandey’s wife, Bhavna looked stunning in this fitted peplum, cobalt blue dress. Her bright-pink nail colour and lips add some funk to her look. The matching heels are another good choice. She keeps it simple yet classy with her loose locks, minimal accessories and a powder pink clutch. Seems as if the actors’ wives made an extra effort to look fabulous!
Esha Deol
Esha Deol is in need of a make-over. Those flamboyant stilettos and her plunging white dress are both pretty catastrophic. She seems to have lost her elegant demeanour as she exhibits ample cleavage and tries to pull off that ugly sheer trail.
Seema Sachdev Khan
From top to bottom, actor Sohail Khan’s wife Seema looked picture perfect. With her elegant white jumpsuit and perfectly-done make-up she looked every bit as stylish as one should be for star-studded events. While that statement gold necklace gave her outfit the oomph it needed, the classy heels splashed a wave of green on her white canvas. She was undoubtedly the best dressed person at the event — a full 10 for Seema!
Shamita Shetty
Though we love her fashionable, off-shoulder shimmery dress, we would have appreciated it if she had toned it down by wearing plain black heels and a simple clutch, to avoid looking flashy. A softer lip-colour and lighter eyes would have also been preferable. Having said that, she was among the better dressed celebs of the night.
Shilpa Shetty
Shilpa is not known to be fashion-savvy, and proves us right by showing up in this school-girlish look at the party. Her Ted Baker Bow Collar dress was like something out of a high-school sitcom. Except her red luscious lips, her entire look including the accessories and shoes is a recipe for disaster
