Ace designer Manish Malhotra celebrated his birthday yesterday and how old is he anyway? Man never seems to age! What’s your secret Manish? Whatever it is, top points to you because we love you and we love all your designs even more. Obviously we aren’t the only ones. Bollywood as well as the city’s socialites came in droves to wish the man of the hour and of course, we have all the pictures for you. Everyone, from Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha to Ekta Kapoor and Natasha Poonawala, was present and our eyes (mine at least) were firmly on what they all were wearing (while I also wondered what some of them were thinking). Take a look…
Avanti Birla & Natasha Poonawala
I’m guessing Avanti Birla couldn’t control her happiness that evening – that should explain the forward lean into Natasha Poonawala. Meanwhile, Natasha seems to have been coming from (or going to) a wedding party. Is she wearing Manish Malhotra? That would seem ideal, no?
Sidharth Malhotra
I’m digging everything about his look here. Including that new-ish haircut.
Sonakshi Sinha & Parineeti Chopra
Sonakshi was easily the best dressed at the party. How do I get my hands on that polka-dot number she’s sporting – my closet absolutely needs it! Meanwhile Parineeti Chopra‘s sweater and the paparazzi’s camera flash were not best friends last evening.
Gauri Khan
The first lady of Bollywood, Gauri Khan showed up in her party-wear staples. Chunky wedges, folded denims and her Chanel. I quite like the addition of the black vest on her white tee.
Ekta Kapoor
Don’t get me wrong, we <3 Ekta Kapoor and her style seems to be getting better, slowly but steadily which is great! If what she wore last evening was in a solid black or navy (minus all the sparkle), she would’ve had to compete with Sonakshi just a little.
Kriti Sanon
I never paid enough attention to Kriti Sanon‘s style before but I’m quite liking this black number on her. I’m even liking the flats she’s got on. You go girl!
Candice Pinto, Deepti Gujral & Carol Gracias
What’s a party without these gorgeous model’s faces right!? Obviously I’m in love with what Candice Pinto, Carol Gracias and Deepti Gujral are wearing.
Ameesha Patel
Ameesha Patel has such a pretty face, so why she continues to dress in these attention seeking numbers is something I will never understand. I really like the playsuit except it seemed a size too small for her and those shoes! It’s like she’s had bad shoe luck for years.
Karan Johar, Sohpie Choudry, Neha Dupia and Aditi Rao Hydari showed up too but we didn’t see any pictures of the usual Manish suspects – where were Priyanka Chopra, Kajol, Deepika Padukone, Karisma Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan? This just gets curiouser and curiouser…
