WAG me good!

The more popular Gauri Khan and Suzanne Roshan have oft been spoken of, but what about our other slightly lesser known WAGs? And um, think less painfully anorexic lasses lurking around football fields trying to make it the popular tabloid and more Bollywood! They make heads turn with their red carpet appearances and pose for the shutterbugs just as well as any leggy model would. Chic or otherwise, they have their own unique style. Here’s what I think of ‘em….

Avantika Malik

Avantika Khan
Errrr… personal style, yes. Haute and happening, decidedly no. I love how she embraces her petite, yet fullish frame, but despise some of her choices for Bollywood events. She must ditch the kind of dresses which bring attention to her shoulders or torso.

Verdict - The yellow Lanvin (for H&M) dress looked absolutely adorable till she put it on. Love the emerald eye-wear but the ruched shoulder attracted far too much attention to her top than necessary. Not more than a 5/10

Kalki Kochelin

My personal favourite, Kalki embodies individuality like none other. Her style is truly hers, as she wears her clothes and attitude with equal panache. What I love most though, is that she makes her own rules. Not in an i’m-so-blasé-I’m-quirky-kiran-rao kinda way, but with enviable flair and élan. Perhaps it’s her French heritage coupled with her unassuming personality that does the trick. But whatever it might be, it’s working!


Verdict – Be it the Dior gown or the Sabyasachi half-sari, Kalki was a stunner on the red carpet in Cannes this year. Some thought her hair accessory to be out-of-place, but I think it’s just right for that goddess look. A 9/10.

Amy Jackson

Every bit the British bombshell, Amy oozes sensuality, oomph and confidence. Love her love for black and colour alike, her effortless numbers and her exacting fashion sense. Big thumbs up to her fabulous style (and her arm candy isn’t too bad either) – surely an 8/10 – this Jackson is quite the Pretty Young Thing. Sure, she’s made a few mistakes and has gone OTT more than once, but how long can an ethereal beauty like her remain at fault?

Amy Jackson

Nodding in agreement? Vehemently disagree? Tell me your opinion either way..

Gawd, it’s Gaudi!

Nature inspired Gaudi and Gaudi inspired Alexander McQueen (among many others). Be it the wave strappy wedges or the powder pink scarf with skull imprints aka McQueen style, this Catalan architect sure could influence. A shell-like heel and Organic and naturalistic imagery replicates Gaudi’s signature architectural style. Even Christian Louboutin recently showcased his ethereal collection at the London Design Museum. Little wonder then, that arches, tombs, pathways, domes – do and will continue to have an immense influence on couture, textures and patterns.
