Exclusive Interview: Neha Dhupia on Style, Coffee and Bling
Beauty queen, actress, adventure seeker and style maven. This is Neha Dhupia.

Her work will extend into Punjabi cinema this month with the release of Jimmy Sheirgill’s Rangeelay on May 17, 2013. Neha talks to us about style,... Read More
She Needs a Style Intervention: Vidya Balan at Cannes
Vidya Balan is a rare and wonderful actress, so we feel bad for critiquing her sartorial choices. This year, she’s a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival (which is amazing!), but her red carpet outfits…oh no. Exhibit A: Blindly following Sabyasachi wherever he goes. Guess what, Sabyasachi can make mistakes. And unflattering blouses that Vidya keeps wearing on the red carpet are a key example of this. As one of our Facebook fans said: “Love Sabyasachi, but...

Desperately Seeking Sonam: An Uh Oh at Cannes
We concede defeat. This is by far our least favourite look on Sonam Kapoor at any Cannes Film Festival, or any event period. Sonam wore a Shehlaa Khan lehengha for the L’Oreal Paris red carpet event in Cannes on May 16, 2013. The hair and makeup is great, as usual, but the jewelry, styling and choice of clothing is just wrong. Shehla Khan is Sonam’s friend, and while it’s always nice to support your friends, sometimes you just need to say no. Like now. We’ve... Read More
Desperately Seeking Sonam: Cannes Day 2 with Sonam Kapoor + Freida Pinto
Sonam Kapoor and Freida Pinto walked the red carpet again at the Jeune and Jolie premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Sexy, 20s inspired actress versus pretty princess in florals. Which do you prefer? Freida looks stunning in a Sanchita gown (thanks HighHeelConfidential for the lead!). Can’t get enough of this look. Love the hair, makeup and gown. Is it just us, or does Sonam’s custom Dolce Gabbana gown look a bit too tight? When you have muffin top going on up... Read More
Weekend Getaway: Portland Bound
Sometimes, especially when it’s in the name of shopping, a quick get-a-way to Portland, Oregon is worth the road trip. Just under 500 KM and less than 5 hours away, a mini-vacay to Portland is a must this time of year.

Freida Pinto Wears Pink at Cannes
Uh oh. Something is up with Freida Pinto’s hair. The braided up-do and side bun just doesn’t work for Freida, who walked the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. If you ignore the hairstyle (but can you?) she looks elegant in her bright pink custom Gucci gown and Chopard jewelry. We love how she experiments with bright bold colours when most Hollywood celebrities stick to nudes or monochromatics. We’re a bit on the fence about the belt and matching shoes…one... Read More
