Vidya Balan hides in ethnic attire at Sabyasachi Mukherjee show

April 2, 2008 (Sawf News) - Still smarting from her western styling fiasco in Heyy Babby, Vidya Balan sought safety in yards of fabric, dressed in a green and blue color anarkali dress with a heavy pink dupatta, at Sabyasachi Mukherjee's LFW show at NVPA, Mumbai Tuesday, April 1. She looked good and while we concede that she always looks good to the Sawf News team, we are being objective here. She looked good good! But then she has always looked good in ethnic wear. The problem is in her ability to carry of western styles. That is what is broke and that is what she needs to be fixed, by her hitting the gym hard and long.

What is the point in looking good dressed up like a 50 year old when you are just 30! Balan's anarkali style outfit consisted of an empire waist ankle length dress with churidar and a heavy dupatta. The dress had a moss green bodice with a scoop neckline and matching green wide borders on the full skirt. It was accented with gold lace. Her magenta pink dupatta, slung over her left shoulder and wrapped around the right arm, had large corner gold embroidery detail, gold lace and green border matching with the shirt.

The heavy material of her dress, its color and styling seemed more suited for winter months. She was sans jewelry, an oddity with ethnic attire, and accessorized with black strappy sandals.

She had left her straight hair open falling on her back with a left side parting.

Vidya's beautiful facial features and enigmatic smile, but not her dress, stole the show.

I saw her interview on NDTV last night......she might not be the best dresser in town but OMG she looked gorgeous during the interivew--she's got the most expressive eyes and the most enigmatic smile ever....she's such a refreshing change from all the paris hilton, vic beckham wannabe's.

Someone needs to tell her that the anarkali style suits do nothing for her body shape, and the use of velvet just makes it worse!

At this rate no designers would associate with her. Manish Malhotra can heave a sigh. Heyy Baby was not his fault after all.

I think people have just gotten used to saying she's looking bad... but I think she's looking great and nothing is wrong with the dress or her carrying it. I mean, yes, she's a little short for such dresses but so is Rani and she also wears these... only cuz you're short doesn't mean you can't wear anything that you like. Besides, she's looking good in the dress anyway, so that doesn't really matter. Can people stop criticizing her just for criticim's sake?

GOSH!

Loose weight or hire a fashion consultant specialising in not so perfect figures. 😉 😉 😉

She does look like a 50 year old in the picture. Looks a lot like Shabana Azmi.

i have no complaints about vidya's weight or her classic indian looks but sometimes i just hate the way she dresses. vidya doesn't always look bad but when she looks bad, it's just baaad to the extreme. i wish she had opted for a simple sari instead of the outfit she wore to the fashion show.
