BOLLYWOOD ISHTYLE: Nargis in Karma Red

I really like this elegant look being modelled by the lovely Nargis Fakhri here below for label Karma, showing a traditional outfit which for me, seems to hint the older generations of 60s and 70s bridal outfits. I love the use of colour here too, subtle yet luxurious, and Nargis herself looks beautifully glamorous - I really like how subtle her make-up looks.

On a side note, I do also love the look of Manish Malhotra's latest collection which was showcased at the grand finale of Delhi Couture Week recently - I wanted to post a few pictures but there were too many I liked so thought I'd let you browse and decide for yourselves! I like the fact that there are so many deep, rich colours with beautiful flowy skirts - right up my street :)

KAPRAY SHAPRAY: Nargis in a Simple Deep Red Anarkali

I've seen a lot of bloggers criticising this dress worrn by Bollywood actress Narghis Fakhri, mainly because it's too plain and the hem looks silly with the pink, but I kind of liked the whole style because of its simplicity. It's a very pretty, girly look which doesn't like it's too much hard work to put together, and goes well with the jewellery modelled by the actress.

While I think it also looks good because of her slim figure, I think a lot of girls would like this look, it's a pretty red (although looks a lot brighter in other pictures!) and seems like a minimum-fuss dress which looks great on.

What do you think?

BRIDE COUTURE: Nargis's Kashmiri Look

Here's a sneak peek still of upcoming Bollywood film Rockstar which is being released next week, which features newcomer Narghis Fakhri. She's shown here in a traditional Kahsmiri wedding outfit and accessories, which I think looks absolutely stunning, as you would expect from deisgners Manish Malhotra and Aki Narula.

I'm not a big fan of orange clothes (I have a real aversion to them, in fact!) but here it is a lovely, traditional look, and still manages to retain a beautifully old-fashioned look to it. I also think that this is a great look to take inspiration from for those brides looking for hijabi-bridal ideas, as it utilises the head-covering well and looks quite unique.

Some other peeks of the film here, showing various examples of how the Kashmiri theme is continued through the film, and showing just how much effort to capture the look has been made, from the look of the outfits, to the accessories and style of work on the clothes. This'll be a good film to look out for, if only for the interesting twist of culture and clothes being shown here, rather than the mainstream fashion we see all the time.

What do you think of the look? Is this something you would incorporate into your clothes?
