Bollywood Fashion Looks: Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone for Dum Maaro Dum

Dum Maaro Dum released last weekend, after a long series of promotions by the cast—Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Rana Daggubati, Prateik and item girl Deepika Padukone. Take a look at this picture taken at a cricket match last month, where the team turned up to promote the movie:

Some quick fashion lessons from the actors:

  • Torn + skinny jeans = apparently in vogue these days.
  • Accessories can make— or break—an outfit. Not sure if Deepika’s hat really works with her completely casual look, perhaps a sporty cap would have looked better. Bipasha’s belt, on the other hand, pulls the outfit together.
  • You should always dress for the occasion: Sorry Bipasha, we love your pink heels, but wearing those to a cricket match is a faux pas.

Bonus: Bipasha Basu Dum Maaro Dum Style Report

Bipasha Basu plays a Goan woman (Zoe), working for the businessman-villain Biscuita, donning formal blouses and pencil skirts “at work”. In the flashback  she’s an aspiring air hostess, wearing sheer loose tops with coloured bikini tips and shorts.

Bipasha was styled by a team from Mango, Aldo and La Senza for the movie (all high street brands). That makes an interesting fashion mix. It’s a stark contrast to Aisha’s high fashion, but it works for Bipasha and for the movie.

Meanwhile, tell us who do you think is better styled—Deepika Padukone or Bipasha Basu?
