Premiere of Jab Tak Hai Jaan- Mumbai

Anushka Sharma, Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif at the premiere of their film Jab Tak Hai Jaan


Bollywood is well known for its high profile premiere events, and since the passing of Late Yash Chopra this was a particular premiere everyone had been waiting for. Much speculations were made about whether the premiere would be held in full swing or would simply be a quiet affair. But much of the pictures on the net proved Yash Chopra's legacy was to be celebrated in much flamboyance!


While the ladies- Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif stood with gleaming smiles on their faces before the camera, Shah Rukh stood in a plain black suit between them and successfully still stole my attention straight away! Yes, his getting older and why he's acting with actresses half his age is another question all together...but he is still nonetheless a very charismatic and charming actor, known for his romantic avatars across many successful releases!


With the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai converted into a 60's theme, many stars of the Bollywood fraternity came to pay their respects to Chopra, and show their enthusiasm and excitement for the release of Jab Tak Hai Jaan...Here are some of the stars that shared in the joy of the much awaited release, and this the only place where you will find an honest and informed opinion of what I think about their premiere fashion sense! What did you think?


Bollywood Fashion at the premiere of Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Hrithik Roshan and wife Suzanne Khan


The couple are known to be close to Shah Rukh, so there are no surprises that they came along to support his new film! Overall the couple are looking great, but the only thing I'd like to point out is Hrithik's hairstyle, which is making him look somewhat out-dated! Don't get me wrong...Hrithik is by far one of the most attractive stars in Bollywood, but I do think a better haircut would do justice to his facial features! Dressed in a white tank-top and casual light blue blazer, Hrithik has has chosen the perfect style for the type of event he is attending. Not too over-done, and compliments his physique ever so well! Suzanne, always looks particularly well-kept and in shape that I couldn't possibly fault her. Whether going for a traditional outfit next to Hrithik was a good match is up for you to decide...but me personally, I think she should have gone for something a little more edgy and westernised!


Rani Mukherji- also known as Aditya Chopra's other half!


Neither is it a surprise to see Rani attending the premiere, for her close relationship shared with the Late Yash Chopra's son Aditya, has always been a much talked about relationship in the media! Rani, who was once one of the best actresses of the hindi film fraternity is also close friends with Shah Rukh who continually supports him across his regular film releases. As far as her fashion sense goes, I'm pleased to say she made right choice. Rani is a particular female who looks impressively attractive in a sari, and I don't think anything else quite suits her as well! The traditional red bindi, dark kohl kajal eyes and traditional detailing to the sari works well together to bring out the Bengali tigresses features! Way to go Rani!


Legendary Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan

Some of the earliest Yash Chopra romantic flicks were all about this one man! Amitabh Bachchan rose to fame as a result of films such as Kabhi Kabhi and Silsilay, and today he lives on as one of the most finest and respectable actors of Bollywood! He may have celebrated his 70th birthday a month ago, but this man just keeps looking better and better! Standing tall in a black tuxedo, he looks simply dashing, and carries off the smart and sophisticated look extremely well..love it! Jaya Bachchan has carried the statement of wearing a traditional sari for some time now, that I cant seem to see her dressed any other way. There is nothing particularly unusual or eye catching about her outfit, that I wish she wore something with a little more panache in it! The choice of red however, is a fine one...and I think it compliments Sir Bachchan well dressed in black! Thumbs up!


Bipasha Basu- known as the original Jism star!


I'm not an incredible fan of Bipasha, for her films films have failed to impress me! But one thing is for sure, that she always grabs much male attention because of her athletic-toned body! On the contrary, this picture isn't quite all about Bipasha's sex appeal, and whatever happened to her sense of style here is major disappointment. For a start her hair so flat and style-less does not work in her favour, and she should really be sticking to big volume with oomph in her hair to bring out her features. Her dress sense is also a major let-down too, where luminous shades of pink/red really don't mix well with her skin-colour..makes me wonder if she even had a stylist to help her out here! Bad choice Bips!


Aamir Khan and wife Kiran
'Surprise Surprise'...it's Aamir Khan at at a social event?! This rarely ever happens and to see Aamir join fellow B-town celebrities at the premiere may have come as a surprise to many of us! The actor known for films such as Lagaan, Rang De Basanti and Gajini is one of the most prominent actors of our time who never fails to give us outstanding cinematic releases! Escorted with his wife Kiran, the couple are looking great together! Aamir in particular is dressed really well, and I think the grey waistcoat with a black shirt works really work well together and suit him well. Kiran too is looking lovely, going for the effortless look. The simple fitted black dress works well to accentuate her figure! She has definitely pulled off the glamorous yet sophisticated look in this one!
Rekha- star of the 70s
Her romantic affair with Big B was a much talked about rumour during the 70s and till today this affair is spoken about across award events and television shows. Either way Rekha is a star in her own right, and her superior acting in the original Umrao Jaan is attached to her fame and success in the industry today! But as far as her fashion sense goes I fail to understand why Rekha is in love with a countless number of silk saris and has endorsed this style at every event for an endless number of years! She always looks so elegant and has so much poise, yet there isn't any harm in exploring with something else to wear..even if it's just a chiffon sari!! Come one Rekha, you can do better than this, ditch the silk and embrace the chiffon!


Fashion icon- Sonam Kapoor


Sonam Kapoor, or should I say Miss Fashionista. This is one lady who is better known for her ramp and magazine appearances than film appearances, so it's difficult to comment on her getting the whole fashion style wrong! The face of Loreal has come along way as a model, and tagged as Anil Kapoor's daughter means she was given the green ticket into the industry. Whether her acting is quite there yet, you decide! Sonam is looking absolutely fabulous in this outfit and I love the way in which she has accessorised the pure white dress with emerald green earrings! Good choice! Her hairstyle on the other hand, is a little unorthodox and doesn't quite go with the style of outfit she has gone for. Perhaps a loose low bun or a French role may have been more appropriate!


Mr and Mrs Srk Khan


No need to introduce this man again, but lets introduce you to his one and only..Gauri Khan. Known as a producer and wife to Shah Rukh, Gauri has rose to much prominence in the industry and is seen alongside the Baadshah himself at many celebrity events! Gauri always looks wonderful, and in particular here she has chosen one of the most fabulous outfits! A beautiful shade of navy blue, embellished with antique gold simply looks ravishing! Keeping more attention on the sari itself, Gauri has chose to wear a simple necklace and bindi, perfectly complimented! Love it!


Female star of Veer Zaara- Preity Zinta

The Late Yash Chopra's female lead was this lady right here, and eight years on Preity Zinta is seen attending the Premiere of Jab Tak Hai Jaan! Undoubtedly, she has given some fantastic performances in the past but of late nothing has really come her way! Her choice of the yellow sari is a fine one, and I personally feel it suits her skin tone ever so well. Keeping her hair simple and swept to one side allows Preity to accentuate her neck line and show off her earrings. A conventional look but she has pulled it off gracefully! Nice one Preity.
 
 
Saving the leading ladies till last we have Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, dazzling the red carpet in draped long dresses. Katrina Kaif is seen wearing a a golden cream sari dress, which suits her figure perfectly well. The incorporation of western and eastern trends is carried off so well, and she looks stunningly perfect from head to toe. I personally love this and wouldn't mind purchasing something of the same sort myself!! Anushka Sharma is wrapped in a mermaid style dress in blue, which in all honesty isn't the most flattering of dresses she could have gone for. This is not to say its bad...but just doesn't look as good next to Katrina Kaif.

Amongst these celebrities, there were others, including Madhuri Dixit, The Junior Bachchans and many more..But for now, what did you think of these celebrities sense of style? Was it a hit or a miss?

Gossip in B-town is also suggesting Kajol was uninvited to the premiere? Any particular reason why?


Until next time,
