Sridevi leaves the audience awestruck

'Bijli girani mai hunn aay....' The age-old song, featuring Sridevi in MR. INDIA, almost came to life in Lakme Fashion week. It was a visual delight seeing former (don't wish to say so) Bollywood queen Sridevi aka 'Chandni' grabbing the audience attention as she walked the ramp. The pretty lady enamoured with her golden shimmering dress, designed by Priya and Chintan. Not only the audience but hubby Boney Kapoor was also stunned seeing his 'chandni' draped in a golden outfit. Daughters' Jhanvi & Khushi also enjoyed the moment by clicking mommy dearest snaps seating in front row.

In the hoard of new faces in Bollywood every now and then it was an absolute pleasure to see the ever pretty face back in the public eye. As she poised on the ramp with the same grace, she proved it that she undeniably stands to be the showstopper till date. Her magic and charm is everlasting.

Earlier she took a break from doing films, in fact she did a TV serial, and now it is rumoured that she may soon make a comeback. We are awaiting!

Lakme Fashion Week takes Mumbai by storm

The who's who of the city of Mumbai made their presence felt at the on-going Lakme Fashion Week which kicked off in the city on March 29.

The fashion extravaganza which goes on till April 2nd saw many established and some new designers show their designs to the world.

Day 2 (Sun- Mar 30) saw one of Bollywood's top lady designers Neeta Lulla show her unique designs and for all you people wondering who the showstopper at her show was, it was none other than child prodigy Darsheel Safary. Yes you heard it right; in a moment which took everyone by surprise, the small boy-wonder walked the ramp in style along with the designer herself. Indeed a moment to cherish for the young child.

‘Say No To Plastic Bags' - Preity Zinta

With all the hype and hoopla that revolves around the Lakme India Fashion Week every year, this year was no different. Actors and models walked shoulder to shoulder (quite literally) setting the ramp on fire. Amongst all this fashion mayhem, what caught our attention was the pretty lass Preity Zinta strutting this message of ‘Say No To Plastic Bags’ with utmost ease, something that comes naturally to her.

But, with the kind of frank-‘Ness’ that this lady sports, we feel that she should go a step further and sport another message (exclusively for the film stars and the Page 3 socialites) stating ‘Say No To Plastic Smiles’ through this event.

What say Preity?

Lakme Fashion Week opens with a bang!

The Lakme Fashion Week opening party got off to a slow start but when it picked up, it really rocked. One of the first to walk in were Esther and Raju Daswani. Soon, Poonam Soni, Viren Shah, Rahul Nanda, Narendra Kumar Ahmed and Kadambari, Niranjan and Jyoti Thakur and a whole lot of other familiar faces got the party dancing on its feet.


Anil Chopra complimented his wife Sabina as the best dressed person at the party, but then, so did she! Kadambari got some votes as did Neeta. But Reshma Bombaywala got the maximum number of votes and interestingly, she was in a dress designed by herself!

"I'm also a fashion designer, you know!" she said. The fashion designer brigade was there in full strength. Apart from Nari, Wendell Rodricks, Lascelles Symmons, Arshiya Fakih with husband Rij Eappen, Sabyasachi, Abdul and others were there too. While the Indian female models decided to call it an early night, what with them walking the ramp for Neeta Lulla early in the morning, the international models walked in only past midnight!

Neeta Lulla was ably assisted in looking after her guests, which she did with diligence, by her son Siddharth. In her own words, "I'm not chilling here tonight, when you're the host, you have to look after your guests you know!"
