Rate Kalki, Mallika's style quotient

Bollywood stars are a fashionable lot. Sometimes, they look straight out of the fashion magazines but just that once in a while, they get it wrong. We decided to play fashion police, and take a closer look at how celebs stepped out last week.

Metal mania

Actress Kalki Koechlin has become a bit of a catwalk queen. The My Friend Pinto actress walked the ramp for designer Rina Dhaka at the recently concluded Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in a  metallic grey cutout gown.

We would cut her some slack considering she's mostly well-turned out but this dress is wrong on so many levels. The twisted bust, the fabric and the way it clings to her body -- cringeworthy.

What do you think?

Daring goes demure

Mallika Sherawat attended the Dubai premiere of Aazaan in a rather unusual Anita Dongre outfit. And by unusual we don't mean in a good way.

The actress got everything wrong, right from the shiny pumps to the midriff-baring kurta. It's good to change it up every once in a while but to do it right is an achievement in itself.

Victorian elegance

Kangna Ranaut, another showstopping regular at fashion weeks, walked the ramp for Shantanu Goenka at the fashion week in a Victorian wedding inspired tulle gown.

We'll ignore the possibility that the dress may be a little too English to fit anywhere in a big fat Indian wedding because Kangna looked lovely in the gown.

The make up and hair were perfect too.

Dia Mirza may not have much going for her on the work front but her wardrobe sure is more updated and stylish than most Bollywood divas.

The actress attended a do at Aurus in a stylish slit maxi and teamed it up with a statement necklace. Spot on with the dress, the colour and makeup.

Delhi Belly actress Poorna Jagannathan attended an art exhibition in Worli, South Mumbai, in an asymetrical dress and boots.

Gotta say, it takes a Poorna to work such an ensemble.
