From Ash to ashes

Why do we look so closely at pictures of beautiful strangers and take the time out to form such strong opinions? Because we're sitting home in our pajamas and gunji. There's a pit of photographers waiting to capture their poise; an army of sculptors for their faces and hair; rows of gossamer gowns woven by fairies. And then they walk out wearing that?We and our imperfections feel let down. Which is a feeling Aishwarya Rai Bachchan must share. Anyone else thinks she chooses stylists who are stabbing her in the back with a lipstick brush?
We welcome the colour, the sleek up-do and the very modern gash of lip colour. But satin is a very crude fabric to take to the red carpet. The dress is too tight, causing her to overflow unflatteringly.
The ensemble needed more wow in the form of a nice chunky diamond cuff or cocktail ring.
The worst betrayal is that her stylist did not advise her on the correct inner wear. There are secret sartorial agents that nip in, smoothen out and shape the body under the dress. Anyway, we finally know why she's fond of those long-sleeved blouses.
And then we have Sharon Stone whose resurrection is begging for some Basic Instinct references.
Surgical intervention aside, Sharon brought her personality to the ramp.
