Bollywood’s Style-Quotient @ Cannes 2013

Cannes 2013 is on and this year the festival will see the largest contingent of Bollywood as Cannes is celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema. Bollywood stars who have landed on the Riviera are Amitabh Bachchan as the Cannes Film Festival 12 days opened with a screening of The Great Gatsby, Vidya Balan, part of the illustrious jury, the lovely Frieda Pinto and Sonam Kapoor is there as one of the Brand Ambassador of L'Oreal.

Cannes Film Festival is heavily guarded by fashion to dwell on the style quotient celluloid divas. Vidya Balan made three appearances, all in traditional Indian clothing by Sabyasachi Mukherjee - one in a brown lehenga (I loved the simple Choli strikingly devoid of any adornment), other in a lovely ivory sari with a brown blouse with embroidery gold on the shoulders and a final in peach color lehenga style selection Mughal royalty for Gatsby. The final look was a bit much for me.

Big B made a couple of appearances. The sports jacket / safari Bachchan was misplaced. The rest of the Gatsby team wears gray and black. Safari Jacket Bachchan striped blue and white pants and shoes do not complement your natural style. And gawd that belt at the waist was a disaster. In the Great Gatsby projection Amitabh Bachchan was again the odd one out in bright blingy jacket. Bandhgala could have gone with sober if I wanted bling embellishments.

Sonam Kapoor Nath apna utaar please do. (No pun intended! Nath Utaarna also means losing your virginity, I'm sure Sonam is made.) Our style diva also opted for an off white sari (Anamika think) jacket with a full-sleeve work trellis for the Gatsby screening, but huge nose ring was definitely an eye sore. Another aspect in Anamika Khanna jacket festooned with lattice pairs of high-waisted pants were smart. She was also seen with Frieda Pinto in black and gray set was nice but I have my reservations about wether gold pendants were his eyes.

Oh yes Mallika Sherawat was there in the projection Great Gatsby in a sleeveless yellow-orange. Thank God there were no cracks or sheerness or cleavage revealing elements as a whole
