Movie stars are a fashionable lot. Sometimes, they look straight out of the fashion magazines but just that once in a while, they get it wrong. We decided to play fashion police, and take a closer look at how celebs stepped out last week.
Bollywood had a hectic social life last week, what with awards shows and wedding celebrations keeping them busy. We take a look at some of the women, who looked terrific on the red carpet.
Blue belle
Priyanka Chopra attended the Filmfare awards and then Sanjay Dutt's Agneepath success party last Monday in a cool blue Salvatore Ferragamo dress.
For a change, the actress got it all right, the hair, accessories were all in place and she looked great.
What do you think?
Bridal glow

Genelia D'Souza wore a coral Falguni and Shane Peacock lehenga for her wedding reception with some traditional jewellery and kept the make up minimal.
Overwhelming

At Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza's wedding reception, Anushka Sharma looked like she'd drown in all the fabric that her overwhelming Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla dress was made of.
And given the actress's statuesque frame, that's saying a lot!
The long and short of it

Jacqueline Fernandes, who may well be on her way to wedding bliss herself with beau Sajid Khan, wore a striking yellow-coloured Anand Kabra salwar kameez to the wedding.
The ill-fitted churidar glitch aside, the actress did a great job with the bindi and hairdo.
Sari affair

Bipasha Basu, quite inexplicably, wore quite a ho-hum sari for the Riteish-Genelia reception.
The blouse didn't help matters. It's quite a surprise considering how good this actress dresses otherwise.
Black beauty

Kangna Ranaut did it again!
She managed to stand out at the reception with her unique lehenga and head band and managed to smile for the cameras.
Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor is slipping into the mundane as far as her wardrobe is concerned. She wore a rather boring green sari to the reception as she accompanied beau Saif Ali Khan.
Green goddess

Madhuri Dixit just lights up the room with her smile but that's no reason to not pay attention to her outfit.
The actress is still to give us an exciting look after her return to India. And a velvet blouse? We have another sari offender.
One for the flashlights

Maria Goretti, surprised us with her bright sari as she arrived for the Riteish-Genelia wedding.
Loved her sari and hairdo.
Colourful entry

Dia Mirza, who attended all the parties and functions for the wedding, wore a multi-coloured lehenga to the couple's sangeet ceremony.
The actress had everything going for her in this one.
Tropical hues

Actress Chitrangda Singh wore a stunning Salvatore Ferragamo gown for the Filmfare awards last week.
Only wish she'd opted for lighter make up and softer accessories to offset the dramatic gown.
Designer girl

Karisma Kapoor has one of the best bodies in the industry and so, it's a shame to see her do run-of-the-mill outfits.
And this is the perfect instance. It's been ages since she pledged allegiance to Manish Malhotra and mostly wears only his designs when it comes to saris.
South Indian charm

Asin channelled her South Indian belle charm in a white sari with a golden border for the Riteish-Genelia wedding.
Simple gold jewellery and gajra rounded off the look.
Pretty in pink

Amrita Rao was one of the guests, who wore a sari to the wedding and did a pretty good job too.
The colour suited her petite frame and personality.
Maid in maroon

Neha Dhupia played the ultimate diva in this Carolina Herrera gown at the Filmfare awards.
The blouse though, seemed a little overwhelming on her.
Yellow fever
Image: Zarine KhanPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Zarine Khan wore a bright yellow sari to the Riteish-Genelia wedding with a collared blouse.
While the colour was a little blinding, the blouse gave her outfit a very airhostess uniform-like feel. A thumbs down from us.
Black magic

At the Filmafare awards, Sonal Chauhan worked her magic in a strapless balck gown, red lips and a soft side braid.
Classic look for the red carpet.
Miss calculated
Image: Mahie GillPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Mahie Gill missed the mark (yet again) with this two-toned backless gown at the Filmfare awards.
What could have been a glamorous appearance turned out to be a disaster.
Ethnic chick
Image: Arpita KhanPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Arpita Khan took the ethnic style a little too far with this elaborate Anarkali at one of the wedding bashes.
The sleeves and neckline were just too much for the flowing dress.
Rare sighting
Image: Ekta KapoorPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Ekta Kapoor was spotted in a sari at the wedding reception.
While the sari was all wrong, it was refreshing to see the producer give her Malini Ramani dresses a respite.
