Fashion Police: 60th Filmfare Awards - Of single shades and capes

The Filmfare Awards ceremony is routinely the biggest event of the awards season. Not only is it India's most prestigious awards ceremony, it is also that time of the year when the ladies and gentlemen of Tinsel Town step out to dazzle and enthrall with their style quotient. This year the event was held at Yash Raj Studios, Mumbai, and was no different. Single shades were pre-dominant; black being the favourite, and closely followed by blush tones. Edgier, out-of-the-box looks also scored big.

BollyCurry takes a closer look at all the glitter and glamour of the night.

Capes are definitely the "in" thing in fashion at the moment, and Sonam Kapoor's outfit made good use of the style. The gorgeous woman is Bollywood's leading lady as far as fashion is concerned; and chose a caped, desi-white Anamika Khanna design for the occasion. She topped off the look with matching sandals, a braided hairdo and just the right touch of makeup. Kapoor certainly carried the look with her standard flair, and we most certainly love the earrings and the choker that adorned her elegant neck. The dress in itself, though, looked slightly excessive and a touch overdone. Thankfully, Kapoor knows how to pull off a look! Rating: 4.5/5

With Shraddha Kapoor, it was a case of simple and breathtaking. She went for the soft and romantic look and donned a Shehlaa gown. The look in itself wasn't very experimental, but did she look fantastic? You bet! We love the side-swept hair with the Gehna jewels adding to the graceful look. The minimalist make-up earned her brownie points. All in all, this one was done just right. Sometimes less is more and Kapoor brought it home! Rating: 5/5

Aside from the parade of blacks, it was also the night of monochromes! Deepika Padukone turned up in an all-white Asha Studio Couture gown, allowing for only the wine-red lip colour to break up the monotonic look. She finished the look with a nice updo which leads us to believe that waist up, the outfit is stunning. However, waist down is a different story. The ruffles were too excessive and did not accentuate the look at all. At the end of the day, it left her outfit seeming incomplete. Perhaps, we just expected so much more from Padukone! Rating: 3/5

The heartthrob of many young women, Fawad Khan bagged his first Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut and boy, did he clean up well to receive it! He paired an Armani shirt with a Dior suit, as well as a Louis Philippe tie, ending with Dolce and Gabbana shoes. The man can definitely promote high end fashion brands with those looks. Among the men, this was our favorite of the night! Rating: 5/5

The breathtakingly charming Shahid Kapoor dressed in a black tuxedo by Kunal Rawal for this event. Although pairing a white waistcoat with a white shirt is slightly unusual, Kapoor pulled off the look really well. This allowed for the black bow to stand out and we approve! We definitely love the confidence and the casual sophistication with which he carried the entire ensemble. Elegant and fresh were redefined tonight, making him one of the best dressed of the night. Rating: 5/5

Ileana D'Cruz mirrored the fashionista Sonam Kapoor in going with a caped dress. She chose not to stray away from the usual (which in most cases is always a safe bet), and decided to go with an all-black Nikhil Thampi ensemble. The metallic belt certainly added to the overall look and her outfit's beauty. But unless the theme of the event was mythical or superheros - which hardly makes sense - the cape looked simply out of place. For the most part though, the experimentation worked and she was successful in carrying the edgy look to an extent. The hairdo and the make-up looked good on her and it was accentuated correctly by the lack of any kind of jewellery. Rating: 4/5
