BOLLYWOOD ISHTYLE: Madhuri's Orange Look in Kalank

I love a good Madhuri Dixit post, especially as she's an actress who can pull off a gorgeous outfit and still dance beautifully in it.

Her latest to-be released movie is the star-studded Kalank, in which a teaser song has been released featuring Madhuri herself. The actress looks as graceful as ever, in an orange embellished anarkali with contrasting rich purple piping and churidar pants. The dress itself is dreamy - it has several panels to give it that 'ghair' (the flare) and looks beautifully swishy.

I love, love LOVE Madhuri's jewellery, which looks tasteful and elegant - especially her pearl hair piece and her matching pearl and kundan tikka and earring set which all compliment each other. I also like the fact that her makeup and hair is fairly toned down but still looks quite classy and suits her face and her age.

And of course the complimenting outfits of the back-up dancers, the luxurious setting all look amazing against this shot - a good peek at what's to come!

What do you think of this look? And will you be going to watch this movie when it releases?

MEHNDI NIGHTS: A Rainbow Mehndi Marquee

I went to a friend's mehndi night a while ago (which was great fun, by the way!) although for me the fun started as soon as we walked into the marquee, because it was so beautifully and colourfully decorated. I've seen the rainbow theme done several times at various mehndi events, and in different ways, but I still think it's a beautiful one to do because of the amazing visual it gives.

I thought this marquee one was really sweet, as it was done by the bride's two brothers who decorated the whole marquee themselves using colourful drapes, and adding some pretty, sparkly cushions in the floor to relax on too. Because it was more of a relaxed, intimate do at the bride's home, this didn't need to be too jazzed up, and it felt just right for some fun, games and dancing (Excuse the grainy pictures and the random girl walking past, all I had was my mobile phone to take pictures and I didn't have time to take clearer pictures!)

Mehndi Night Preparations...

My sister's mehndi finally took place a couple of days ago (we're still recovering!), with all us up to our ears in gift boxes, dandiya sticks, mehndi plates and gold lanterns! Here's just a few sneak peeks of the mehndi preps we did beforehand, more pictures to come!
