BOLLYWOOD ISHTYLE: Asin's Luxurious Lenghay in 'Ready'

Asin's asian outfits in her latest film that are worth remembering are mostly her bridal ones in the movie, in which she displays a good mix. The one I liked the most was this blue combination suit she wears, matched with a simple but effective turquoise stone jewellery set:





 I generally think that peacock blue/turquoise is a flattering colour on asian skin, and coupled with silver work and jewellery, this makes for a very elegant look.
Next is the (first) bridal outfit that Asin wears at the beginning of the film, showing a colourful style and extravagant jewellery:




Again, I like the colour combination of purples, pinks and light blue here with a traditional gold work style. I also like the fact that the make up is not too over done, as there is also a lot of jewellery here, which has a nice balance.
Lastly is the (final) bridal outfit that Asin wears, at the end of the movie which is more close to today's styles:






I like the contrast in the navy border with the scarlet red main outfit, it is something that is seen very much in today's trends, and mixed with the traditional jewellery and pearls, makes quite a lovely outfit. I also like the simple plait style and the nose-ring which goes with the whole traditional Indian look, and suits Asin's face quite well.
Which outfit of the three do you like most?

BOLLYWOOD ISHTYLE: Zarine Khan's Classical Style in 'Ready'

I recently watched Ready featuring Salman Khan and Asin as the lead characters (girl meets boy, girl tries to change boy, girl gets kidnapped by her crazy mafia uncles, same old predictable storyline really) and a few outfits in the movie caught my eye. Not least was Zarine Khan's cameo in her item song number (doesn't every film seem to have one nowadays...?), in which she looked noticeably slimmer and seemed determined to flaunt it. I'm sure most of you remember Zarine Khan from her debut in Veer, and in this film she similarly leaves her own mark. The song she appears in, 'Character Dheela' apparently pays tribute to to legendary Bollywood actors - Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar and Dharmendra.
Firstly, is the parody of Dilip Kumar alongside Madhubala in Mughal-e-Azam:




 Next comes the scene in which Salman and Zarine pay tribute as Dharmendra's Viru and counterpart Basanti:





And lastly comes the classical black-and-white era in which they present Raj Kapoor and Narghis in a scene:




I quite liked this touch in the song, I think its a nice way to show that the classics are far from forgotten without undermining them, and gives a nice twist to the film. I also like Zarine's wedding outfit in her small role as a runaway bride,I couldn't find better pictures of the sari she wears than these though:

Maybe it's just me but I feel as if there is a slight hint of her traditional style from Veer such as the pearl strings decorations and the gold headpiece. Not my favourite outfit of the film though!
