Last night saw a list of Bollywood royalty turn up on the red carpet of the Vogue Beauty Awards, decked up in their best (or not). Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karisma Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput were a few names amongst the attendees, and of course, fashion was a main aspect of the night.

We analyze who wore what…

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The former Miss World has been on some Disney inspired road to fashion disasters recently, and this adds to the list. While the short hair and makeup are classy, this outfit just doesn’t work with its silhouette, off-shoulder design, and the embellished net.

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput

 

While Shahid’s suit is at least an unconventional colour, the t-shirt underneath wasn’t the best option. Mira’s dress meanwhile, is forgettable, to say the least.

Karisma Kapoor

This Kapoor sister seems to be aging backward! Horizontal stripes are always risky, and the actress has made a bold choice but it looks pretty darn cool. Special props for that funky blue eye makeup which brought out her beautiful eyes!

Akshay Kumar

Receiving the award for Most Beautiful Man of the Decade, Akshay Kumar opted for a classic black suit but used some funky accessories to make a statement. His walking cane and tie both sported a skull and while they were unconventional, it made for an interesting look.

The Bachchans

While the girls opted for glamorous dresses, we love Jaya Bachchan’s classic approach and understated look. She looks as graceful as ever while Amitabh Bachchan too keeps it minimal and sleek.

Varun Dhawan

That ruffled shirt, embroidered lapels, and shiny shoes have way too much going on! Just one of those elements on its own would have perhaps worked fine.

Aditi Rao Hydari

vogue

What in the world is going on here? That print and tufts of fabric emerging from the pleats look so off and so does her hairstyle. The actress won the award for Most Flawless Face, and we wish her outfit was complementing her looks.
