Sonam Kapoor is wearing a Masaba for Satya Paul saree. It's a kitschy saree worn with a corset with a Peter Pan collar for that vintage look. I somehow like the blend of the olden look with the latest trend.
Shilpa Shetty is seen wearing an emerald green jumpsuit. It does nothing to enhance her body shape. Nevertheless, emerald is the Pantone Colour of the Year 2013.
Neha Dhupia is wearing an elegant gown with a neat hair style . The make up is fine, so are her accessories. Except one thing that needs to be overlooked is the badly stitched hem. Still it is not her fault as her designer is to be blamed. She is carrying the outfit with great élan .
