Saree Dreams

We owe a big apology to Jacqueline Fernandez, the beauty queen from Sri Lanka, for mislabeling one of her pictures.

The saree and the lipstick is a little too red for my taste but the redeeming thing she did was to match the bangles to not the red of the saree but the green of the saree embroidery.

Accessorizing secondary colors works far better than going with a single color theme.

She could probably lose the necklace and add a large earrings. Any way, she is a beauty queen, she can don whatever she wants and she will look pretty.

Yes, that’s her smile for sure.

Nice to see 2008 miss India winners in a saree.

Simran Kaur Mundi (Miss India Universe), Parvathy Omanakuttam (Miss India World) and Harshita Saxena (Miss India Earth) emerged winners, from amidst 29 contestants, at the Femina Miss India 2008 event, held at Andheri Sports Complex Saturday evening, April 5.

OK, this is uber-slutty way of wearing the blouse; but don’t blame the saree for it.

Saree has a lot more fabric then it needs and the blouse has a lot less fabric then it needs.

Katrina Kaif does not wear a sari very often but when she does she looks stunning. The daughter of a Kashmiri father and British mother, Katrina has an interestingly exotic look. Also famous for being Salman Khan’s girlfriend, Katrina is known more for her pictures in hot outfits.

Here Katrina looks demure in a black sequined chiffon coordinated with a strappy black lace blouse.
