The charge sheet
Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor is always out to make a fashion statement. And while we are mostly out of seats to give her a standing ovation, her outfit at the trailer launch of her father’s TV show 24 left us scratching our heads. She could have looked so much snazzier!
Hair
The hair is making her look like a librarian — she’s just missing the glasses. A high-pony tail with back-combing at the crown would have given it the voluminous boost it needs.
Make-up
There’s smokey eyes and then there’s a black eye. Sonam is sporting a mild case of the latter. A simple liner and a brighter lip-shade would have done the trick. The nude gloss and bronzed cheeks are just not going with the black eyes.
Outfit
This military-inspired dress from Victoria Bekham’s 2012 fall collection is not working for Sonam. The black patch pockets are not doing any wonders for her gorgeous figure. With the unflattering length of her dress she indeed, looks like a military-enrolled soldier.
Accessories and Shoes
With the gold buttons on the dress, the fashion diva could have accessories with a cuff. But she decided to go with a simple Prada clutch and gold earrings which added no style whatsoever. Her black ankle-boots are out of place.
Bail out!
Deepika Padukone
With her red luscious lips and sexy silver high-heels, this gorgeous Cocktail fashion star, looks absolutely ravishing! The red body-con dress with black stripes flatters her ultra-fit body and makes her look bold and beautiful. With a back-combed crown and elegantly tied hair (which Sonam should learn from!), she lives up to her high fashion status.
Kareena Kapoor
Even though we usually see Bebo carrying a simply elegant dress, this edgy Tom Ford dress suited her impeccably. With the shapely silhouette of a bodycon and a gold belt, the dress blended well with her majestic personality. Even though there was something quirky about the dress, it did not make her look graceless as she showed-off her sleek straight hair and black peep-toes. Sonam really needs a tip or two from our lustrous chammak challo.
Priyanka Chopra
OMG! That was our first reaction when we saw this actor-singer pulling off size-zero with utmost perfection! The light blue, partly off-shoulder dress makes her look sexier than ever! With flawless make-up and tousled hair, PC is appealing to the eye and will definitely attract attention from all the heartthrobs of B-town.
