Mercifully,
the
media
hasn't
gone
completely
bonkers
about
star
wardrobes
at
Cannes
this
year.
But
John
Abraham
has
come
in
for
some
bashing
for
attending
in
jeans
and
chappals.
Actually,
it
takes
tremendous
confidence
and
terrific
cool
to
go
to
a
festival
that
spells
glamour,
dressed
like
a
tramp.
It
shows
he
couldn't
care
less
for
the
trappings
of
stardom
and
all
the
artifice
that
goes
with
the
'red
carpet'.
While
the
other
guys
(Irrfan
Khan,
Abhishek
Bachchan)
looked
like
waiters
in
their
tuxedos,
John
stood
out
for
his
individuality
and
cocked
a
snook
at
the
world.
On
the
other
hand,
Bipasha
Basu's
sari
may
have
been
glamorous,
but
the
'pallu-down'
look
is
undignified
and
slightly
vulgar.
Wearing
a
low-cut
gown
is
fine,
but
a
sari
ought
to
be
worn
properly,
or
wear
a
sarong.
Bipasha's
look
was
only
slightly
better
than
Mallika's
atrocious
outfit
last
year
at
Cannes,
when
she
all
but
spilled
out
of
her
'choli'.
One
is
not
even
commenting
in
Aishwarya
Rai's
white
gown,
since
she
got
her
share
of
boos
-but
it's
a
relief
she
didn't
show
up
at
Cannes
in
her
'bahu
'
look
with
an
inch
of
'sindoor'
in
her
hair
and
'mangalsutra'
hanging
out
over
silk
sari!
Easily
the
worst
dressed
actress
on
film
(off
screen
that
dubious
honour
goes
to
Celina
Jaitley)
was
Tanushree
Dutta
in
Raqeeb.
Most
of
her
outfits
were
totally
hideous
and
did
not
suit
her
slightly
bulky
figure.
The
excessive
make-up
and
chunky
jewellery
(probably
picked
up
from
the
same
shop
as
Balaji
soap
characters)
only
made
her
look
tarty.
Tanushree
should
have
seen
her
movie
in
the
theatre-every
time
in
appeared
one
outfit
worse
than
the
other,
the
girls
in
the
hall
went,
"Eeee
what
is
she
wearing!"
Funnier
still
was
Sharman
Joshi
dancing
on
a
beach
in
three
layers
of
clothing,
when
the
girls
dancing
with
him
were
in
bikinis!
That's
the
problem
with
not
having
a
Salman
Khan
physique
-
the
guy
can't
dare
to
take
his
shirt
off!
Time
to
start
pumping
iron,
Sharman!
The
problem
with
being
considered
a
serious
actress
is
that
poor
Tabu
gets
saddled
with
a
'behenji' wardrobe
like
in
Cheeni
Kum.
She
is
supposed
to
be
single
in
the
film,
not
traditional
or
shy,
so
why
couldn't
she
have
been
given
a
more
stylish
costume.
Young
women
today,
particularly
those
traveling
abroad
would
wear
trousers,
jeans,
skirts,
jackets.
But
her
character
looks
like
she
packed
all
her
Fab
India
outfits
to
London.
The
other
noticeable
thing
was
that
she
just
flung
a
shawl
over
her
shoulders
to
cope
with
London
weather,
when
the
hero
Amitabh
Bachchan
looked
dressed
for
winter.
The
cancer-suffering
little
girl
(Swini
Khara)
ran
around
in
capris
and
sleeveless
tees.
The
weather
was
different
for
everyone,
or
what?
Amitabh
looked
classy
most
of
the
time,
but
for
that
all-white
suit,
that
could
only
have
come
from
an
old
Sicilian
Mafia
warehouse!
Howlarious
style
quote
comes
from
Celina
Jaitley,
who
requests
that
she
not
be
"judged
by
her
plunging
necklines." First
of
all,
who's
judging
her;
secondly
who
buys
her
clothes
for
her?
If
she
thinks
her
exposed
cleavage
makes
her
look
like
the
bimbette
she
isn't,
all
it
takes
is
a
neckline
a
few
inches
higher.
Nobody
expects
her
to
dress
like
a
nun!
But
then
who
goes
to
an
NGO
event
dressed
in
micro
shorts.
Next
she'll
be
pouting
that
people
are
judging
her
by
her
thighs!
