Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's pick is marginally more flattering than Mrs. Lulla's, since the former has fewer bulges to squeeze into the black sequined Armani Prive gown. Offsetting it with bright red lipstick is a smart touch as it forces the eyes to move towards her face and away from the signs of a little too much curd-rice maybe?

It doesn't come naturally to the Indian form, figure or features, so why is it a surprise that Deepika Padukone's Rohit Bal designed sari won hands down over designer gowns by international names preferred by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or Mallika Sherawat in Cannes.

Gowns seem to be a favourite with Vidya Malvade, most often the occasion is not befitting the dress. Nor is her gait and frame.
