Deepika Padukone in Sabyasaachi. The reigning queen of Bollywood was an utter vision in a sparkling (not to mention very elegant) Sabya creation.
Neha Dhupia in PELLA. Miss Dhupia has always been a risk-taker when it comes to fashion, often emerging a complete winner. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she makes it to our list of top dressers at IIFA!
Huma Qureshi was nothing short of stunning in her flaming red Gauri and Nainika gown.
Speaking of flaming, Anushka Sharma was gorgeous in her bright tangerine gown by Gauri and Nainika Karan.
Turning heads in yet another shade of red, this one darker and more elegant, was Dia Mirza, in her Shantanu and Nikhil outfit which literally showed no skin at all. But we think she looked amazing, all the same!
Showing off her well toned curves in an ensemble by Anamika Khanna was actress Jacqueline Fernandez.
Lisa Haydon has gathered a reputation of rather being on fleek when her style is concerned. Needless to say, she totally was up to our expectations, looking radiant in a sleek white Gaurav Gupta outfit.
Priyanka Chopra (probably still hungover from the incredible success of her Dil Dhadakne Do!) was sporting a charming Jenny Packham number in a pretty pastel shade of pink.
Also rocking a pastel mauve was resident B-town bombshell Malaika Arora Khan, in a figure hugging gown by Michael Cinco.

Inspired by architectural design play and high fashion, the Lakmé Absolute Sculpt Studio Matte places emphasis on chiseled, contoured lips. The creamy matte range comes in 15 shades, from rich plums to pretty pinks.
But how do you really sculpt your lips? Lakmé make-up expert Natasha Nischol does it in four easy steps:
1. Start by picking your favourite shade of lipstick, preferably a bright one. Nischol suggests Red Rush from the Sculpt range.
2. Draw an X mark in the middle of your upper lip with the lipstick, to define your cupid’s bow. Follow the cupid’s bow to the corners of the lips.
3. To make your lips look fuller, draw a line tracing the middle of your bottom lip.
4. Fill up your lips, blot using a thin tissue and reapply your lipstick.

2. When Harry Met Sally – Who could forget when Harry (Billy Crystal) finally admits he’s in love with Sally (Meg Ryan)? In the movie that made everyone question whether men and women can ever really just be friends, Harry realized he was in love with Sally while spending New Year’s Eve alone and raced to meet her before midnight because “when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” Swoon!
3. The Wedding Singer – Robbie (Adam Sandler) confesses his love for Julia (Drew Barrymore) by serenading her with a personalized song… as she’s aboard a flight to Las Vegas to marry her current (totally awful) fiancé. Sandler’s sweet “Grow Old With You” song has become a popular wedding song ever since the movie hit, and it’s no surprise why.
4. Love Actually – A language barrier couldn’t keep these two apart — while recovering from a broken heart at his French cottage, Jamie (Colin Firth) falls for Portuguese housekeeper Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz), who only speaks her native tongue. After Jamie returns to England, he begins learning Portuguese and later returns to France to find Aurélia. Using his new knowledge, he proposes to her in Portuguese — and then she responds in English, which she has been secretly learning for his sake!
5. Dil Chahta Hai – This movie not only showed us the value of Goa as a tourism spot but also how to propose in style. Aakash, the guy who uses the entire movie to tell you what an awful thing falling in love can be, goes down on his knees and proposes to Shalini at her wedding to another man. And not just that, he uses the same swoon-worthy speech he did when they first met. There’s a reason this movie has cult status.
6. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani – Kabira maan gaya. Nothing is more adorable than the ultimate commitment-phobe offering marriage, the big daddy of all commitments, on a platter. Or in this case, a little blue box with a toffee inside. So much”aww”…
7. Pride and Prejudice – A timeless love story that proves there’s a thin line between love and hate, Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) instantly dislikes Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) upon meeting him and swears to “loathe him for all eternity.” Eventually, the two do fall in love, and he successfully proposes to her on the moor at dawn: “You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.” (insides turned to jelly!)
8. The Proposal – This “romance” between boss and assistant begins as an ill-fated attempt for Margaret (Sandra Bullock) to avoid deportation… but then the two actually start to fall for each other. As Margaret is preparing to leave the country, Andrew (Ryan Reynolds) barges into the workplace to confess his love and propose for real: “Marry me… because I’d like to date you.” So many feels! But we absolutely love the fake proposal at the beginning where Andrew makes Margaret kneel down in a Manhattan street (in high heels, no less!).
9. The Notebook – This might be one of the most argumentative proposals ever, but it’s also one of the romantic. Which has NOTHING to do with the fact Ryan Gosling is involved, we swear! “It’s not going to be easy, it’s going to be really hard and we’re going to have to work at this every day. But I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me every day.”
10. Mujhse Fraandship Karoge – Bollywood’s fresh take on social media fueled romance had one of the best proposal scenes we’ve seen in a long time. Saqib Saleem goes down on a knee and spouts hilarious shayari “Mere dil, jigar, liver mein ho tum … waqt bewaqt aaye woh fever ho tum … ab toh meri life mein forever ho tum”.
11. He’s Just Not That Into You – Ben Affleck’s character moves back in with Jennifer Aniston and asks her to check the pockets of his run down pants before she throws them out. What does she find in the pocket? That’s right, a ring! She turns around to find him on his knees, proposing.
12. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara – Katrina doesn’t speak a word while proposing to Hrithik in this movie. She just chases him on a bike, looking cool as hell, walks up to him and just kisses him! Best proposal ever.
13. Jab We Met – The incorrigibly chirpy chatterbox that is Geet realizes she loves Aditya at the last moment (just when he is about to leave). She races to him and plants a solid one on him when she is sure her idiot of an ex is looking (re-enacting the exact scene she had played out earlier in the movie to rid herself of Manjeet).
14. Mohabbatein – Shahrukh’s patta proposal to Aishwarya is one of the most romantic love declarations in Bollywood.
15. Pretty Woman – Richard Gere arrives in a car, hanging out of the sun roof with flowers in one hand and an umbrella in the other and shouts for “Princess Vivien” (Julia Roberts) to come down. He then declares his love atop the fire escape while an opera song plays in the background!
]]>The who’s who of Bollywood dazzled on the biggest red carpet event of the year. Here’s our lineup of the best dressed Bollywood celebs at the 60th annual Filmfare Awards.
The best dressed ladies were the usual divas – Sonam Kapoor in Anamika Khanna, Deepika Padukone in a dress by Ashi Studio, and Ileana D’Cruz in a Nikhil Thampi outfit. From the boys of Bollywood, Black Lady winners Shahid Kapoor and Fawad Khan really brought on their fashion A games!
The return to simple elegance at this year’s Screen Actors Guild Red Carpet was a refreshing change from the sparkling mermaid gowns that ruled for the last decade. Most looks were more “casual, laid-back elegance” than “all out bling”. We pick out the best dressed celebs that graced the 2015 SAG Red Carpet!
Emma Stone looked the height of classic chic with a twist in Dior Haute Couture, with Repossi jewels and Christian Louboutin shoes.
Julia Roberts went for the simple yet extremely elegant look in custom Givenchy.
Sarah Hyland was lovely in custom Vera Wang, with Lorraine Schwartz jewels.
Julianne Moore, in Givenchy Haute Couture, with Chopard jewels.
Rosamund Pike, in Dior Haute Couture, with Fred Leighton jewels.
As pretty, prim, proper and elegant as the stars look heading into the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards, they don’t necessarily make our heads turn and our mouths drop to the floor. But the Grammys is one night when the who’s who of the music industry create unexpected (and at times outrageous!) style statements on the Red Carpet, it’s where they experiment. Here’s our pick of the Best Dressed Celebs at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards red carpet.
Kat Graham showed off toned figure in a Yanina sheer floral-print dress with white pointed Sophia Webster heels and a black Carrera y Carrera statement ring.
Jessie J looked stunning in a sheer black Ralph and Russo gown with a long train.
Gwen Stefani showed off her shoulders in an Atelier Versace black strapless jumpsuit. We particularly loved the asymmetrical top detail with black netting and nude underlay and the sporty silhouette.
Style Queen Taylor Swift wore one of the night’s more colorful dresses, opting for a leg-baring turquoise ombré Elie Saab Spring 2015 dress with fuschia Guiseppe Zanotti heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.
Beyonce was absolutely divine in a Proenza Schouler black bead-embroidered tulle gown with delicate train.
Among those that didn’t sit well at the Grammys Red Carpet were Rihanna’s pink gown (that made her look like a two tier cake), Madonna’s corseted look (which we think is high time should be retired!), Katy Perry and Lady Gaga’s over the top bling-y outfits and Nicki Minaj’s bare-all fringed gown. We hope for better looks next year!
The red carpet for the 68th BAFTA Awards was full to the brim with demurely dressed Brits and Hollywood stars sporting plunging necklines. Walking the red carpet, looking extremely dapper, were hunks David Beckham, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch and Douglas Booth.
Tom Hiddleston looked suave in an Alexander McQueen tuxedo.
Douglas Booth wore a Dunhill cocktail jacket and evening shirt with bow tie.
David Beckham cut quite the dashing figure in a navy blue suit and bow tie.
Olivia Grant looked nothing less than ethereal in a Jenny Packham gown.
Dianna Agron looked like a total glam goddess in a Lanvin gown with Tabitha Simmons heels.
Reese Witherspoon was a stunner in a Stella McCartney gown, baring a showstopping neckline that plunged deep.
Keira Knightley dressed her baby bump in a very pretty Giambattista Valli number.
Nimrat Kaur cut a classically elegant figure in a pink gown with a stylishly plunging neckline.
