Sensational Priyanka Chopra at J Hampstead Fashion Show. The beautiful model-turned actress has reached a different high in her professional life, but her perosnall life is still grabbing many newspapers.

Priyanka has grabbed all the awards this year and is busy with so many endorsements and films that she has no time to spare for her health even.

But, ignorning all this we saw Priyanka Chopra flaunting minimal clothes in ‘Dostana‘, that made her the sexiest actress in Asia.

She was looking sexy and glam in her short pink dress for the show.

Bebo finds evrything as style statement

It seems that bebo has become more mature than expected. She feels that her journey as an actoress has been great enough bt she would like to grow more. She finds the big Hollywood stars starring in Kambakkht Ishq is the USP of the film. She feels that her styling and clothes in the movie will set new trends. Her clothes were sourced by Aki Narula from Milan and it took him 15 days to get the right kinds of clothes for her. Before Kambakkht Ishq she flaunted her zero-figure in the movie Tashan where her dress designing and styling was done by her favourite designer Manish Malhotra.

But now the buzz is that she is again coming back to normal routine and gaining some wait for her upcoming releases.
Kareena's Style and figure became the talk of the town whe she featured in song Its Rocking from the movie Kya Love Story Hai and she followed it by playing a role of a chatterbox from Bhatinda and a hot chick in Tashan.

She has always experimented with her looks in one or the other way and she promises to set a new trend everytime with her new release at the box-office.

We hope to see her new avtaar in her new releases like 3 Idiots, co- starring Aamir Khan and Dharma Production's next Qurbaan, co- starring her very own Saifu aka Saif Ali Khan, directed by Ren D'Silva

Yana Gupta Goes Blonde

The ‘Babuji’ beauty Yana Gupta has been missing from the scene for a long time now. But, looks like she’s all set to keep it rolling with her new chopped blonde look.

The Czech glam-doll relishes her alternate looks and makeovers. The beauty loves to be wild and shuns claims of her being conservative. Yana likes being unpredictable with her style. She have had this (hairstyle) for a few months now, so she went to Peru on vacation and chopped it off.

The beauty also added that the vacation was an escape from the haunting reality and the change in her was the wilder side of her. “I`m getting more and more wild!,” Yana was quoted as saying.

The actress was missing from the scene from quite sometime now but was never a barren land as she was often flooded with item songs, but never to willing to take them up. "Most of the songs were quite mediocre, and I didn`t want to compromise. It wasn`t as exciting. Matter of fact, I had better songs to perform in the South."

B’wood’s most successful model turned item girl is drop dead gorgeous and is now trying her hands on singing too after modeling and acting.

First glimpse make you go week on your knees. Well, we wish to see her back on Bollywood soon!

Bollywood Fashion Effect on Society

Image via Wikipedia

A few of our Bollywood stars have left an impeccable mark on the masses in terms of their Indian Style.

To begin with Kareena Kapoor’s sexy saree, which she had worn in Chameli, received her accolades from the people. Ladies planned their private parties with dress code: chameli sarees.

This was not first time that bollywood clothes created hysteria. Aishwarya Rai’s Sarees in Devdas, Sushmita Sen’s stunning look in the movie Main Hoon Na, Madhuri Dixit created a mind-blowing impact with her Indian outfits in Hum Apke Hain Kaun.

To cut the long story short, these are many instances where-in our bollywood stars created a terrific mark on the classes and the masses. Talking about Bollywood Indian style dresses, we cannot forget the pleasing looks of our stars at the time of the award functions. Our
bollywood heroines carry Indian dresses in all shades like shimmery orange, blue, hot pinks with utter grace. This earns them insane amount of compliments.

Aishwairya's Outfits improved at Cannes

Aishwarya Rai is a regular guest at International Cannes Film Festival. It's been a while since she first represented India at the celebrated annual event in 2002. When it comes to Cannes, she has literally done it all and seen it all. She's been on the jury and she has shone on the red carpet, not to forget her fashion faux pas and the ruthless criticism her Neeta Lulla-designed wardrobe was subjected to in 2003.

Aishwarya Rai wearing a green saree at 2003 Cannes made a complete mockery of it and it seemed that a better stylist would do her a world of good.Ash wore a gown in 2004 but it took her some telling that her body is not shaped to don a gown and as a result it was another case
of Ash not knowing what to wear. Bitter experiences made Ash wise, as this was reflected in the dress she wore in 2005 as it drew a lot of appreciation. Ash's wardrobe has always created waves and last year she was seen hand in hand with hubby Abhishek Bachchan.
But now, Ash has wisened to the stylish ways of Cannes. Seven years later, Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai's walk of poise and elan at the ongoing French festival has left the Indian fashion fraternity raving.

Despite the bevy of Hollywood A-listers gracing the event, Aishwarya proved to be a head turner.

Her choice of an elegant white off-shoulder Roberto Cavalli train gown teamed with a neatly tied bun and simple pearl drop earrings besides a Swarovski box clutch and red peep-toes was a sure shot hit. And a complete throw away from the jarring green sari she wore to the event in 2002, say designers.

Aishwarya carried the gown really well and looked beautiful. She has great presence that fits her perfectly in the international fashion circuit. She carried off that gown with confidence and walked the red carpet with aplomb.

"When she was criticised for her bad dressing sense at Cannes, the person who should have been blamed was her stylist. But I guess now she has learnt the tricks of the trade and is doing really well. It's important to know how to behave with your clothes on the red carpet," he said.

For designer Abdul Halder, Aishwarya, whose dress would have cost nothing less than Rs.5 million as per industry estimates, looked as though she was wearing a "wedding gown minus the veil".

Though the beauty queen-turned-actress exhibited marked improvement in her dressing sense with differently styled gowns at the event every subsequent year post-2002, she scored a perfect 10 with her attire this year.

Aishwarya, a regular at the Cannes Film Festival red carpet and L'Oreal brand ambassador, is beginning to reinvent not only her wardrobe but herself too on the global scene.

Shah Rukh Unappealing on Filmfare

Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan was featured on the cover page of Indian showbiz magazine Filmfare, the 2nd issue of the month of May 2009. The cover page was tagged with “I hate to lose India’s biggest star, SRK candid confession”.

Who styled the cover for this May edition of Filmfare?

SRK was looking so unattractive in those man-scarves that are no longer in. They just desperately wanted Shah Rukh to come off as trying too hard. A scarf with a buttoned up shirt and slacks??

Common and unappealing!!!

Back issue of Filmfare magazine had Kareena Kapoor as the cover page celebrity.

Aamir's Ghajini look created news and took the whole nation in awe. It had Aamir flaunting his six packs but it is said that in his next release that is Raj Kumar Hirani's Three Idiots he is going to remain covered throughout the film and will have a lean College Boy look.

He has been working a lot for his look in Ghajini but knowing Aamir he
wouldnt do injustice to his role in Three Idiots too, where he is said
to be playing a softer role that of a college student.

According to sources he plays a adventurous and a handsome guy who
happens to love his friends more than his parents and as the role is
not action packed he doesn't need to flaunt his physique, and knowing
Aamir he is of the kind who emphasizes on his acting and doesn't
believe in showing of his body only because he has a mind-blowing
physique that he will want to show it off.

The director Raj Kumar Hirani has kept in mind Aamir and the knows
what his character will look like in the film. It is said that a lot
of changes are made in his character of Aamir than what it is in the
book. Aamir will need to loose lots of weight and will have to walk
with a hunched back.

As Raj Kumar Hirani is a perfectionist in his work and he has done
wonders in his Munnabhai movies Aamir has decided not to interfere in
his work. All he is doing is that he is only concentrating in his
character and in his work and has full faith in Raju's script and
direction.

The shooting of the film will resume in December in Bangalore and
that's where the largest part of the film will be shot. Kareena Kapoor
is supposed to be playing the female lead in the film which is based
on Chetan Bhagat's novel Five Point Someone.The movie is to be
released in 2009.
