Sonam Kapoor

We've been tad exhausted by Sonam Kapoor's incessant attempts at showing how fashion conscious she is. So when she turned up in this Jean Paul Gaultier number, we couldn't help break into an evil smirk.
What she's wearing is probably worth the GDP of an African nation but did she carry it off the way she was hoping to? We aren't quite sure. You tell us!
Meanwhile here's a quick look at all the sartorial hits and misses at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in Mumbai.

Shruti Hassan

Pictures like this one make us wonder why we don't see more of Shruti Hassan. Heck we'd even tolerate a bad film if she looked like this for the duration.

Arjun Khanna seemed like he'd only just stepped off a yacht while Narendra Kumar put up a rather impressive show. What we couldn't help wondering though was if designer Nandita Mahtani was following in on Victoria Beckham's footsteps. No really, when was the last time you saw her smile in a photograph?
