surprisingly looks at Fashion face-off

Alia Bhatt breaks Rule 1 set by Fashion Police. She was seen wearing a Sonakshi Raaj creation at the Filmfare Nominations bash. We had seen starlet Isha Sharvani wear the same number at Golden Petals Awards.

 

Isha Sharvani and Alia Bhatt surprisingly struck an almost similar pose for the shutterbugs.

Non-filmy siblings of Bollywood stars

1. Shweta Bachchan-Nanda
Shweta Bachchan is Abhishek Bachchan's big sis and is known well enough despite never coming in front of the camera. She is married to industrialist Nikhil Nanda and has two kids. She has made two appearances on 'Koffee With Karan' with her mother and father respectively.

 

2. Riddhima Kapoor-Sahni
She is the older sister of Bollywood's current lover-boy Ranbir Kapoor. Blessed with hereditary good looks Riddhima is well known in the social circuit. She married Delhi based Bharat Sahni in 2006 andgave birth to a baby girl just this year.

 

3. Vijayeta Basu
Bipasha Bashu's li'l sister looks no less than a star despite being far-off from the Bollywood frat. She is currently pursuing higher education in Bristol. However, we wouldn't be surprised if we see see her joining Bollywood after seeing her sister's success.

 

4. Meghna Oberoi
Vivek Oberoi's younger sister like the others has no connection whatsoever with films. We're glad she does not have a knack for creating controversies like her brother does. She married a Mumbai based businessman in the year 2008.

 

5. Priya Dut  

Priya Dutt is one sibling who has created her own identity over time and never relied on her brother for fame or recognition. Sanjay Dutt's younger sister, who is married to entepreneur Owen Roncon, has strived to keep her father's legacy alive by being active in politics and indulging in charity.  6. Arpita Khan 

It is a known fact that Salman Khan totally adores his baby sister. She was adopted years ago by his parents and accepted by the family with grace. Today she is seen very often doing the rounds in the party circuit with different Bollywood stars. 7. Rajeev Sen 

Sushmita Sen's brother Rajeev Sen is quite a catch when it comes to good looks and personality. Even Sushmita herself is of the view that her brother is indeed a very handsome fellow and we don't disagree Sush. We only wonder what has kept him away from the silver till now.  8. Kangana Ranaut's 

younger sister looks quite different as compared to her and that might be attributed to the absence of the trademark curls that Kangana flaunts in Rangoli. Reportedly, Rangoli faced an acid attack in 2006. She however, has moved past the incident with a great deal of support from Kangana and recently wed businessman Ajay Chandel.

Meet B’wood’s evergreen bikini babes

Zeenat Aman is credited for bringing the bold, rebellious and sexy avatar of actress on the big screen. She never shied away from flaunting her assets.

 

The dimpled beauty Sharmila Tagore was probably the first Indian actress to don a bikini in mainstream cinema. The bikini-clad Sharmila in 'An Evening in Paris' shocked audiences throughout the nation.

 

Mandakini became a nationwide sensation, thanks to her bold scenes in 'Ram Teri Ganga Maili Ho Gayi'.

 

Dimple Kapadia took Bollywood by storm by her debut in ‘Bobby’. The newcomer didn’t shy away from wearing revealing clothes and even sharing a lip-lock with Rishi Kapoor.

 

Yes, way back in 1951, Nargis set the screen on fire in 'Awara'. The passion and sensuality of Nargis, and her chemistry with Raj Kapoor was too hot to handle.

 

Mumtaz took a bold step of breaking her on-screen image by donning a bikini for Feroz Khan's 'Apradh'. Although it shocked the audience, yet the audience loved the bold avatar of Mumtaz.

 

Sarika had a great figure, and she never shied away from flaunting her assets. She wore bikini in some movies, much to the delight of the audiences.

Multimillion-dollar garage for sale (oh, with a penthouse too)

We've published moats, slides, magnificently deranged man caves and real-life spy lairs.

But we're pretty sure this is the first garage so extravagant that the owner's asking price frankly values the auto space more than the living space. Almost twice as much as the home itself, in fact.

We first spotted the headline from our partners at Curbed: "Sky-High Apartment Comes With a Subterranean Ferrari Garage." Although the 2,537-square-foot Chicago condo is listed at $3.4 million (including garage), turns out you can buy the garage alone.
For a cool $2.1 million.
So really, it's more like "Subterranean Ferrari garage comes with sky-high apartment" -- which is almost exactly how the listing agent bills it on her agency's website. ("In addition to the spectacular garage, the property comes with a 2,537-square-foot penthouse condominium.")
What kind of a garage is this? Well you might ask! According to its standalone listing on Yahoo! Homes, "12 garage spaces have been thoughtfully converted to a luxury showroom and entertaining space for the most discriminating buyer. With separate heat, AC, air handling & security, this 2,714-square-foot space is a collector's dream come true."
It's owned by vintage-car collector and racer Michael Leventhal, who told Crain's Chicago Business in 2005:
"The building was developed by a friend, and I was able to accumulate 14 spaces. We enclosed 12 of them and built my fantasy garage. It's so special I go there and have coffee in the morning. At the end of the day, when I'm all beat up, Kathy and I have a glass of wine there. We have parties there."

The photos are regrettably low-resolution, but they give you a sense of the Ferrari-red opulence of it all; click on any of them to go to the listing for more photos:We'll update with higher-res photos if we get them.

First Lady Michelle Obama Chooses Thom Browne Dress Inspired by Necktie for Inaugural Event

Michelle Obama is known for launching women's fashion trends worldwide, but it was a menswear that served as inspiration for the first lady during Monday's daytime Inaugural events.

The first lady's custom navy jacquard Thom Browne coat and dress chosen to kick of the festivities in Washington took its cue from the fabric of a silk men's tie, reports the Associated Press. Neckties, of course, are a trademark of her husband's first term.

"It's one of those moments when I just can't believe that happened," Browne told the New York Times' Eric Wilson. Known primarily for his suits, Browne was named GQ's Designer of the Year in the fall 2008, the same year as Obama's historical election to the presidency.

The first lady has been a fan of Browne's dress collections in recent months. She wore a custom gray dress with a black lace overlay in October, during the Democratic National Convention.

The decision to wear Browne was  win for Michelle on Monday, according fashion critics.

@FLOTUS SO CHIC in her #ThomBrowne navy coat," Elle's Joe Zee tweeted.

"The overwhelming response within the fashion community is that she looks fantastic," Fashionista's Leah Chernikoff tells Yahoo! Shine. "Everyone is thrilled she chose such a high fashion designer for today."

Browne can't take all the credit. Mrs. O also called on her own famously high-low fashion sensibilities, pairing her navy coat with an embellished waist belt and port-colored leather gloves from J. Crew.
 

The first family is Inaugural-chic.
The First Lady has made the mass market brand an unofficial designer for the first family over the past four years. Colorful J.Crew coats and gloves kept Sasha and Malia Obama warm during their dad's swearing-in ceremony in 2009.
On Monday, Malia kept the tradition going, dressed in a purple J.Crew wool coat. Her sister Sasha broke the trend with a lavender Kate Spade coat and dress.

But in the days leading up to the inaugural events, all eyes have been on the first lady, a fashion icon who launched the career of young American designer Jason Wu four years ago at the Inaugural Ball. Speculation on her choice of designer this evening remains. But already another sartorial choice is making headlines. At Sunday's private swearing-in ceremony, Mrs. O chose a royal blue cardigan and dress by designer Reed Krakoff. Krakoff also took credit for the winter-weather black suede boots Michelle changed into for Monday's outdoor Inauguration ceremony. (Those silver J. Crew heels she was wearing earlier Monday morning must not have been warm enough!)

Fashionista's Chernikoff called the decision to wear Krakoff on Sunday "an interesting choice given that Ann Romney was criticized during the campaign for wearing Krakoff's $990 silk bird-print t-shirt."

Of course, her dresses are trumped by an even bigger style decision in recent days: those bangs.

On Sunday, President Obama called the first lady's new haircut "the most significant event of this weekend." And if there was any question, he offered his presidential seal of approval: "I love her bangs."
