PC’s dress disasters

Priyanka Chopra may have bowled you over on screen with barfi! but off it, her style is either tacky or trying-too-hard. Which PC look is your least favourite? Tellt2@abp.in

She started the Barfi! promotion round quite okay, in a Bebe dress for the trailer launch in July, but things didn’t pan out well. Either too safe or too sorry, Priyanka Chopra needs to buck up. Label: Pankaj & Nidhi.
Disaster dose: So busy yet so dull. This woven dress had too much of everything — from texture to colour — but no wow-factor. Does it remind anyone else of a crafts mela?!
DAMAGE CONTROL: If you like the feel of the dress, think about the silhouette too. A maxi might have worked but a bodycon falls flat.
Label: Masaba Gupta.
Disaster dose: The Calcutta leg of Barfi! promotions saw PC in dhoti pants, a welcome chapter of chic. But hello, black and white?! So safe. So blah. Even the necklace and shoes were so boring. These pants screamed for fun colour and fab accessories.
DAMAGE CONTROL: Colour blocking. A pop vest would have just brightened the pants.
Label: Dolce & Gabbana.
Disaster dose: The dress is quite signature D&G — fitted, bodiced and beautiful but somehow it’s the yet-another-bodycon feel that is failing PC this time. She tries to add her own touch but those red pumps don’t take her far. But we have to admit her new hairstyle works wonders.
DAMAGE CONTROL:
A cool boyfriend blazer would have saved this look.
Label: Ramona Narang.
Disaster dose: Too short for comfort! High hemlines are made for perfect bodies like hers but still, there’s something quite tacky about the length of her dress. She looks like she’s trying too hard. The blue nails aren’t doing much either. And that jewellery on her hand — neither subtle nor statement!
DAMAGE CONTROL: A few extra
inches on the hemline. Please PC!
Label: Falguni & Shane Peacock.
Disaster dose: What was intended to be rock-chic turned out a damp squib. Lace meets mesh meets leather meets sheer... phew! All in one look. We are confused and so is the outfit. And what are those chandelier earrings doing? Nothing, honestly.
DAMAGE CONTROL: Right make-up and hair could have turned the look around. Think Amy Winehouse eyes or a Russian Red mouth. Plus an edgy hairdo, minus those earrings definitely.
