Fashion Police: The return of Morticia Addams

Actor Sana was recently spotted on the pink carpet at Veet Celebration of Beauty event looking like a devastating blast from the past. Considering that monochrome dresses are the hottest trends of this season, we wonder why Sana would completely ignore that and step out in this B&W disaster.

The charge sheet

Hair and make-up

Either she was too lazy to blow-dry her hair after taking a shower or she burnt her ends while using the curling iron. Whatever be the reason, this is probably one of the worst hairdos in the history of fashion events. That tangled up, side-parted puff looks like a bird’s nest. While matching your make-up with your outfit is not a fashion no-no but when the outfit is black, your make-up should not be literally black too! Sana has really beautifully structured eyes and it’s a shame that we can’t even make them out thanks to the overpowering black eye shadow.

Outfit

If only that skirt was black, Sana would have directly resembled Morticia Addams from the Addams Family. Instead, she did her own twist on the Addamses –a black and white polka dot skirt! She could have managed to save herself from a disaster by wearing a fitted black top but instead she wore an unflattering kaftan-inspired top with a pointless diamond badge on the side. There also seems to be a red dori popping out from the side of her waist. Thank God there were no other surprises!

Accessories and Shoes

Thankfully the actor wasn’t sporting too much bling. Her silver glitzy box clutch and silver bracelet were acceptable. However, those extra-long silver earrings are more appropriate for a wedding than a red carpet event. Her flowy skirt seems to have covered her shoes completely but we are hoping that she did not make any mistakes there though considering her overall look, we doubt it.

Bail out!

Aishwarya Rai



The light-eyed beauty looked elegant as ever in a black Zac Posen mermaid skirt and white Saint Laurent shirt during her interview session at Cannes 2013. She keeps it simple, balanced and at the same time glamorous with tamed wavy locks and subtle make-up.

Deepika Padukone



The INR1billion-club star Deepika looked stunning in a beautiful flared skirt by Naeem Khan at the music launch of Chennai Express. The actor paired the plain simple skirt with neutral-coloured, sequined top along with minimal, pristine make-up. Sana really needs to take some pointers from that one!

Marisa Tomei



If there could be one best way to dress up in a black and white skirt and top with a vintage style, actor Marisa Tomei’s look at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards was a picture-perfect example. She dared to take a risk and succeeded looking fabulous in this Victorian-gothic attire.
