59th Filmfare Awards - Fashion Review

The 59th Filmfare Awards recently took place with much gusto at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai. The stars arrived dressed in their finery awaiting a night of fun, frolic and a fancy time. BollyCurry's Fashion Police was spoilt for choice with what we witnessed on the red carpet so let's take a look at the some of the fashion choices before the stars headed inside to enjoy the show and receive much deserved awards.

The hostess of the eventful evening, Priyanka Chopra was seen in a beautiful black strapless Alexander McQueen gown with embellished peplum detail. Ms. Chopra wore her hair in a side-swept faux bob, which was an interesting look yet complimented the outfit. She completed her look with a pair of envious dangling Atelier Mon gold earrings. BollyCurry Rating: 3.5/5

Looking handsome as usual was Salman Khan who was seen sporting noticeable stubble. Also noticeable was his experimentation of a blue three-piece suit paired with a crisp white shirt; the perfect example of a formal attire but also keeping it casual. Here's thanking Filmfare for bringing us this side of Salman. We always appreciate it when he decides to skip the jeans for a formal look. BollyCurry Rating: 4/5

Looking old-fashioned yet unique was Amrita Rao in her neutral Payal Singhal saree with a black and golden blouse. Hair in a side swept chignon just added to the old charm touch. Studs in the ears and a watch on her wrist were just the perfect amount of jewelery. Black box clutch in hand and the Gothic black nail color completed the look! In a nutshell, BollyCurry likes!

Oh, what a disaster! From top to bottom Prachi Desai's Filmfare look was a major fashion crime. Starting from the top, the hair - we wonder if Prachi had any idea exactly how out of character it was when paired with the dress? Talking of the peach Swapnil Shinde dress, what a tragedy! The deep embellished neckline and the huge bow right at the waist just stepped up the failure quotient. Not even her Steve Madden peep-toe heels could salvage this outfit. And don't get us started on that oddly placed slit. Children, look away! The silver Curio Cottage drop earrings were the only piece of jewelery Prachi chose to wear, and rightly so.  BollyCurry Rating: 1.5/5

Adding yet another lady-in-gown to the list is Soha Ali Khan. While her brother and sister-in-law were notably missing, Soha marked her attendance by leaving many onlookers tongue tied. The cream-colored Ken Ferns dress consisting of a corset and a strange stain detail was rather enticing while the dark pink earring from Aquamarine added much needed color to the outfit. However, the hair could have been perhaps experimented with; leaving them straight on one side is a thing of the past. BollyCurry Rating: 3/5

Taking the new style of coats to the red carpet is Divya Dutta. The vibrant actress was seen donning a pink coat styled gharara to the red carpet. A wee bit too much for an award ceremony, we think. Perhaps a wedding festivity would've offered a better opportunity? The hair styled in a messy bun could and should have been tamed into a more sleek one as well. BollyCurry Rating: 2.5/5

Best actress winner, Deepika Padukone, was spotted in a gold, see-through Gaurav Gupta gown. Leave it to Ms. Padukone to show some skin on the Filmfare red carpet, that too with class. The shimmer and glitter was definitely a little too much but DPad definitely knows how to make a gaudy outfit look good. The red lip stick added a touch of color to otherwise minimal make-up face. A double win from us! BollyCurry Rating: 4.5/5

A plain off-the-shoulder dress. Now that's being very simple! Preity Zinta, always the one to under dress, this time turned the tables and looked rather appealing in the royal blue Gauri and Nainika number. The bow on the side of her waist followed by the ruffles were just the perfect amount of difference to cut the simplicity of the gown. Her hair, done in a loose updo, could have been much more prominent but we like what we saw, nonetheless. BollyCurry Rating: 4/5
