Awards, awards and more awards! And so the season continues. The Star Guild Awards had a much smaller list of attendees, but our stars still brought their fashion A-game to the red carpet.
Alia Bhatt
Alia must be on a Prabal Gurang-wearing-spree as this was her second look in a row. Thankfully though this one fared so much better than her look at the Screen Awards. Love the color on her and the sleek do.
Verdict: Sizzling Hot!
Deepika Padukone
Ms Padukone hardly ever gets it wrong, but sadly when she does it is at this magnitude. The Amit GT gown never was a favourite, and to add to that, this swept-back-wet-hair look just made matters worse. Let’s leave it at that and look forward to the recovery from this.
Verdict: Not Hot
Jacqueline Fernandez
Another person who hardly ever gets it wrong is Jaqueline, who went with a Gaurav Gupta gown on the night. Like Deepika’s choice of gown, this one too was a bit beyond saving. Then she went ahead and added that dated hair straight out of a Raveena Tandon 90’s movie, making this look a definite not hot.
Verdict: Not Hot
Kriti Sanon
Kriti continues her winning streak at events (take a bow stylist!). She, like Jaqueline, also went with a Gaurav Gupta gown but one that was much more impressive. She styled it minimally to ensure that the neckline feature was the highlight of the look. If pushed to pick a small flaw, I would have opted her makeup stay much similar to the darker-edgy style that was sported on the ramp, though Kriti did pull off the brighter alternative well.
Verdict: Hot
Lisa Haydon
Giving figure-hugging, sheer-loving and slit-heavy gowns a break was Lisa Haydon in a Gauri & Nainika gown. Usually her understated gowns have a risqué feature to distract you, so you appreciate the got-out-of-bed hair, however here the Gauri & Nainika grand gown needed to be complimented with something more elegant and formal. Not to mention, the gown itself is something that is a bit debatable given the color and the addition of the belt. Who else thinks this is a rare miss by Lisa?
Verdict: Not Hot
Pallavi Sharda
Pallavi went with a Vizyon gown on the night. She styled it with a low up do and red lips. Given this was a heavy embellished gown, it was a good choice to skip on the jewelry.
Verdict: Hot
Parineeti Chopra
Its one hit followed by one miss for Parineeti. Here it wasn’t the Riddhi Mehra dress or the styling, which was quite impressive courtesy of the corset-tie Christian Louboutins that was off. It was the fact that this was a red carpet event outfit choice. This just felt more appropriate for a promotional event or a press conference.
Verdict: Hot-but-inappropriate!
Kanika Kapoor
Singer Kanika Kapoor went with a Peter Pilotto dress from the designer’s spring 2012 collection. Unlike Parineeti’s knee-high Riddhi Mehra, this one had a bit of oomph in it, making it award-friendly. To add to that, Kanika really styled it up with striking up-do. The singer looked great!
Verdict: Hot
Priyanka Chopra
Wearing a shade that many don’t dare to try was Priyanka Chopra, in a Toni Maticevski hi-low gown from the designer’s Resort 2015 collection. It is amazing how small changes in styling can completely change the feel of a look. Lilly Collins sported the same attire minus the dark lips and sleek hair and gave it a very day-friendly bubbly vibe, whereas Priyanka’s look was more edgy. We think Ms Chopra did a great job with the dress and made it her own.
Verdict: Very Hot
Shraddha Kapoor
It is often forgotten what great gowns Atsu does. Luckily the designer’s work got a bit of an outing with Shraddha’s look at Star Guild. She looked effortlessly stunning in her red Atsu gown. The only minor gripe with the look is the hair. I wish she’d pulled it back to show off the bodice design.
Verdict: Hot
Tabu
Tabu did Indian and unsurprisingly it was in an Abu Jain and Sandeep Khosla suit. Usually one to dismiss their gota-heavy designs here I have to say Tabu very effortlessly pulled it off.
Verdict: Hot
