Pamela Anderson will wear a ghaghra choli Pamela Anderson , who's currently in the Big Boss house for a reality television show, shocked everyone around when she claimed that she's 'clothesophobic' and can't stand too many clothes on her body. Designer Ashley Rebello who's been roped into dressing her up had a tough time getting what she likes to wear. He said, she's been wearing sarongs because she doesn't want to wear too many clothes. However, tonight (Friday Nov 19) when she will meet actor Salman Khan , she will be wearing a ghaghra choli in aqua shades. Those who are watching Pam for reasons best known to most can heave a sigh of relief as the growing TRPs of this show will only give her big monies. Pam's a mother of two and wants to clear her debts back home.

Canadian actress and Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson , the special international guest at Hindi reality show Big Boss 4 is excited to try out all things Indian but no leather Mumbaiites who waited with bated breath at the international airport on Monday November 15th night, to catch a glimpse of the voluptuous international celebrity Pamela Anderson were in for a little bit of a dampener. While they fell on to her car, tried to touch her and take pictures, Pamela dressed in a casual grey tunic made her way quickly to her parked vehicle. Onlookers however made hushed remarks about her appearance. It's true that Pam’s recently undergone breast size reduction and is a size 34-D now. Her waistline is an enviable 24 inches. This hands-on mother of two, is gorgeous (open to debate) nevertheless. So, when designer Ashely Rebello (yes the one who's showstopper actress Sonakshi Sinha tripped on the Bangalore fashion week ramp in September), was approached to design something really cool ...

Drop that corporate look and add a bit of festivity in your workplace ensemble. What's Diwali without its share of colours. If you are going to be working all of this Diwali week, then there's enough reason why you should dress according to the occasion. Sure, none of us like to go overboard with our dress sense at workplace. Most would like to keep it simple yet festive. Designers in Mumbai come to the rescue with some handy tips. 1. Accessorise : Designer Maheka Mirpuri suggests one opts for accessories to revamp the regular office look. "Try neck pieces, brooch or even cuff links in semi-precious stones or silver. Accessorisation always almost catches attention." With office wear, a choker can be worn with a shirt where the neck is partially exposed. Earrings such as hoops or chunky jhumkas in kundan can add colour. Hair accessories are equally in, try that. Nice belts which have a chunky feel, can add to the long shirt or tunic. 2. Try some make-up : We often do ...

Sridevi stumbles, Sonakshi trips, Wendell Rodricks does not show up and a fully set fashion week does not even take off. Are we getting more and more tolerant of these runway misses? The past one month has been rather unfortunate for Indian fashion designers. While Kolkata Fashion Week never even took off (despite making tall claims of getting Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka to walk at the finale) last month; Mumbai and Bangalore too did not witness much great luck, what with actress Sridevi stumbling on the Mumbai ramp and Sonakshi Sinha tripping on the Bangalore ramp. Goa-based designer Wendell Rodricks was not informed that his name was being used for a Gitanjali-sponsored Indian Princess show in Mumbai city. While incidents like these are unfortunate as they mar the name of the designer and the fashion week that they participate in, the only streak of hope is that all is pardoned...by the audience, designer fraternity and also the buyers. Neeta Lulla , who is presently basking in the gl...

The 'selling point' at fashion weeks More and more fashion critics seem to be worrying themselves over lack of new trends on the fashion ramp. Point in question being the recently concluded Lakme Fashion Week Festive/Winter 2010 which was on since Sept 17 - 21 at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai. There were hushed talks about how ' thanda ' the entire atmosphere was, compared to last season. How designers weren't distributing goodies along with their press releases. How sponsored shows were shifted to the 9 pm slot instead of 7 pm slot and most importantly, how there were hardly any new dramatic trends that sprang up apart from buyers who were rumoured to be attending most shows but were hardly spotted by me (or even other journalists). Critics accused Paris-based Indian designer Manish Arora for showcasing what he had shown at Paris in Summer of 2010 season. Bollywood designer Neeta Lulla to have forgotten to bridge the gap between film costumes and designer wear as her ...

CURTAINS DOWN ON LFW WINTER/FESTIVE 2010 And finally it was closing day of the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai with Delhi-based designer Malini Ramani bringing the curtains down with the grand finale. Firstly, the finale, which was scheduled to begin at 9.30 pm started at 10.30 pm. So, there were guests who were twiddling their thumbs in anticipation. Some even commented if this would even begin today or not. But then, we were all there inside the show area and the colourful show began with thumping beats. PERFORMANCE TIME: The Audio/Visual clip had Malini come on-screen speaking about the universe, inspirations from nature, yoga benefits and more so, what lies within our hearts and soul - true happiness. It did look a bit like a comic script, where a person would be perched on a lotus and many lights would go revolving behind. So, here was Malini doing just that and announcing her collection's nomadic inspirations. And then amidst a burst of colours, models showcased the four season...

OH MY GOD! I am saying OMG and not IMG (ha-ha) because on Day 4 of Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2010, we spotted many guests including actors and their chamchaas and now hold your breath -2 transvestites . Dressed in dull polka-dotted frocks, they sauntered in, towering over many others peering at the lounges and Lakme salon, clearly inviting curious gazes. If you want to know who's guests the two were? One Mr Shah got them in, guffawing all the way. Moving on to more serious matter now — of the shows. The day's last three shows were heavy duty. Good designs, sleek cuts and loads of Bollywood actors who came in to cheer. Swapnil Shinde's designs were impressive. It revolved around a courtesan lavni dancer, Chandrakala, the poet Rafael and a club owner Zidler. With romance and villainy underlining the look of the collection, Swapnil dipped into the 17th and 18th century styles of Europe but added on the Indian lavni dancers of Maharashtra clothing for impact. Ghungroo ...
