Spotted: Beginners Guide for New Year

Amidst the sunshine from the South and snow all around, the New Year has sashayed itself in style. So have the Bollywood dudes and beauts, who have been sighted showing off their newest purchases and setting the ground for this very happy New Year's vogue. BollyCurry brings to you the chronicles of Spotted to gauge from our celebs recent fashion galore as to what this year is going to showcase in terms of style.

The dhakdhak girl has left the demure act behind and we welcome Begum Para with open arms. But this woman, blessed with a smile to make even the angels shy, sure had a "fevicol se" moment with her fashion sense it seems. A pink-golden lehenga choli from Jade, teamed up with jewelry from Gehna and side parted hair with soft curls completed Madhuri's look. You can never say that Madhuri didn't look pretty, because she did, but same old, nothing new makes head turn a very few. The genre she belongs to makes her the apt choice for myriad of looks, making all seem her game and thus, we wish Madhuri pushes herself out of the incessant thirst for wedding attires everywhere.

At the premiere of the much awaited movie Dedh Ishqiya, the parallel lead, Huma Quershi, took a leaf out of the film's leading lady's book, Madhuri, and took upon herself to shine and how! Dressed in a fuchsia pink floor-length anarkali by Manish Malhotra and a Victorian middle parting tight curls for hairstyle, Huma had us at the candy store feel for sure.The pretty actress did however keep the look simple and didn't seem to be drowning in the yards of cloth, surely emitting beauty but there's just something about these 'to wed or not to wed' dresses that says passe for any kind of event. We will do a pass on it, considering it an in-character look for Huma and wish her all the best! BollyCurry Rating: 3/5
 

Ma dame knows her French thank you very much, and if it's mixed with Kalki's hippie style, what more can a saree want from life? This power house performer attended the premiere of Dedh Ishiqya and walked the red carpet like she owned it and that too in a good way, not taking it to laundry, mind you! Dressed in a black motive cotton sari with an artifact red printed blouse, a rebel drape, hair piled up, some silver hoops to swing and a demure vertical black bindi, Kaliki was unconventionally one of the best dressed. Though you may feel the dress isn't much to talk about, it's the radiance with which Kalki carries this attire, her confidence in her stature and her 'I am what I am' attitude that makes you like it all more.

Happy on her fortune to be romancing the Dabangg Khan in her very first film and definitely elated to not be named in reverse of what it is, or Salman bhai may have had a rough deal in calling her, Daisy Shah has taken her baby steps into the contingent of fashion allies. Wearing a jumpsuit by Anita Dongre, she visited the sets of Comedy Nights with Kapil. A Mehak Gupta statement necklace, black peep toes topped with soft curls for hair style completed her Woman in Black attire. As simple and apt in proportions this look seems on paper, it somehow misses a punch line somewhere. She does present a pretty picture but maybe a pulled back ponytail and a color pop would have made this a stellar appearance. But there's always a next time! BollyCurry Rating: 2.5/5

Mrs. Khiladi Kumar does seem to possess some Elvish blood in her veins with her immortal beauty and style sense. At a dinner date with her "Amor becomes me" hubby dearest Akshay Kumar and friends, Tina was dressed to the occasion in a simple black dress accessorizing it with a Kate Spade graphic clutch and a statement cuff by Manish Arora for Amrapali. Completing the attire with metallic golden wedges, low blow dry soft curls and minimal make-up, Tina was a picture of poetic elegance, soft and willowy. And if that is not enough for you to keep staring at her in daze, do catch the biggest eye candy near her arm, the hubby! BollyCurry Rating: 3/5
 

Mister follows where the Mrs. leads. Thus, making an entry like a Boss on the fashion circuit, Mr. Akshay Khiladi Kumar does that to the T. If Twinkle was a sight to behold, Akshay was enough to make your eyes go wide as well. Dressed to kill in an ash grey suit sans the jacket that he carried on his arm, silver stripped tie, dress shoes and a pair of avenging aviators, the man was a walking specimen of some Mills and Boon dream! And when one does look so smoldering, excuses can be made for the specs in the night as a precautionary measure towards fainting female population.  BollyCurry Rating: 4.5/5

The Baadshah has a quirk and it speaks on its own when this sexy daddy does a hippie in formals. Mr. Khan was in attendance to inaugurate the Zee Cine Awards 2014 commencement, where he was spotted wearing a black suit with a brazen grey/black jacket, formal shoes and a copious amount of wit that he carries like a second skin. But what has been standing out in all his appearances is the platinum gold highlight on one side of his hair. To a formal look which oozes 'corporate meeting in 5 minutes', SRK's undeniably uber aura of a prime male makes him look like an Alpha lion out on the hunt with those highlights. We wish these genes keep passing on and on. BollyCurry Rating: 4/5

 

The Khan-dom could never stop at just one mention now can it! If Baadshah Khan has urban charm, Bollywood's eternal Bhaijaan Salman Khan has urban diligence. Salman's fashion mantra of 'I wear clothes and not the other way round' comes out easily by his laid back and comfort loving style sense. Gracing the epic comedy show Comedy Nights with Kapil with his presence, Salman seemed at his naughtiest best. Dressed in an aquamarine T-shirt from his label of Being Human, paired with rigged blue denim jeans and the ever dangling charm bracelet encircling his wrist, he reflects ease, rouge and an equal amount of eccentricity in his aura. He is effortless and though may dress down at certain events, here he was occasion apt!  BollyCurry Rating: 4/5
