Give us YOUR take on these famous personalities' fashionable (and not-so-fashionable!) choices.
We've compiled the best and worst of celebrities' recent red carpet and party appearances.
Some are well turned out, others, well not so much!
But we want your opinion. Tell us what you think of their fashion sense (or lack of it!) by taking the poll at the bottom of each page!
We start off with Priyanka Chopra, who's on top of trends as usual with her classic little black dress sporting a dip back. But wait -- is her back all aglow with sequins too? A little too much bling happening at that end, what say?
Taking quite a plunge
Image: Manasvi MamgaiPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Former Miss India Manasvi Mamgai decides to bare it all in this sheer panelled number, but forgets the cardinal rule -- when your neckline is low, your hemline should be lower too! But that is quite a captivating look overall.
Going dotty

Katrina Kaif can pull off practically anything under the sun, but this polka-dotted outfit seems to camouflage her fab figure. Love the shoes, though!
Sophisticated cowboy?
Image: Riteish DeshmukhPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Sigh. A usually well-turned-out Riteish Deshmukh dons disastrous button-down pants and a bright silky white shirt on awards night. Where's the ten gallon hat?
Beauty in blue
Image: Zarine KhanPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Zarine Khan ups the style stakes in a lovely blue cocktail that flatters her figure and high heels. Now that's red carpet-worthy!
Sari stickler

Maybe Vidya Balan should take fashionable tips from Zarine. She's the top actress in B-Town at the moment and still dresses like an aunty-ji. Leave the silk saris to Rekha, dear -- and the red lipstick too! Not all of us can pull off the same look!
Pleating it right
Image: Sushma ReddyPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Sushma Reddy is truly a vision in her sexy pleated dress. A little cleavage, a little leg and a lot of attitude -- very classy!
Formal funk
Image: PrateikPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Prateik, dear boy -- we give you full marks for that on-trend houndstooth jacket. But don't you think those pants could have been a tad less shiny and sported a better fit?
Belle of the ball
Image: Nargis FakhriPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Newcomer Nargis Fakhri looks ready for the Oscars in that stunning blue gown. Now if only her acting skills were, too!
Casual queen
Image: Kareena KapoorPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Nobody can do smart casual quite like Kareena Kapoor. With her fresh complexion, minimal makeup and super-stylish attire, she always ensures all eyes are on her!
Pretty sight
Image: Kangna RanautPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Kangna Ranaut kits herself out in the 'it' colour of the season -- coral. We like her curly do, feminine hair and posh pumps, a very well put-together look.
Ready to roll
Image: Akshay KumarPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Can we say the same for Akshay Kumar? Nevermind the cheesy moustache, the shirt-over-tee shirt look isn't quite for him, it's for college taporis...and so are the sneakers!
Fresh and fashionable
Image: Jacqueline FernandezPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Someone who can pull off a college look, however, is Jacqueline Fernandez. She's good to go in her roll-up denims, tee and super-hot fuschia heels!
Demure damsel
Image: Sonakshi SinhaPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Daddy Shotgun likely approved this ensemble for Sonakshi Sinha, but we don't. Movie star is the image you're supposed to cultivate, dear, not village belle!
Strapless stunner
Image: Shazahn PadamseePhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
A lot of our lovely ladies are opting for blue and Shazahn Padamsee jumps onto the bandwagon with her becoming little tube dress. We love the tousled hairdo too, although the footwear could do with some improvement!
Strike a pose
Image: Salman KhanPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
It's nice to see Salman Khan in a collared tee for once. Has the fit of the jeans improved, though? Yes? No? You decide!
Effortless chic
Image: Kiran RaoPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
New mommy Kiran Rao channels effortless chic in her pretty sequinned blouse and dhoti pants. And her best accessory is that genuine smile!
Hotstepper
Image: Dia MirzaPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Summer's here and the vivacious Dia Mirza shows us how to dress accordingly -- a pretty cotton top, well-fitted jeans and matching wedges. Just right!
Colour shock
Image: Payal RohatgiPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Groan! What IS that? Pink tights, pink innerwear showing through a sheer yellow outfit...Payal Rohatgi has lost the plot entirely in these disaster duds!
Bling-ing all the way
Image: Bappi LahiriPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
You can't help but love Bappi Lahiri and his gold fixation, but you can't forgive his crimes against fashion. We're willing to overlook the chains (and glares worn at night), but those blue shoes, those pants, that velour jacket...help!
Yummy mummy
Image: Mandira BediPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Yummy mummy Mandira Bedi takes the classy route in a sleek black jumpsuit and pixie hairdo. Very posh!
Model miss
Image: Mugdha GodsePhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Considering her stint in the fashion world you'd think former model Mugdha Godse would have learned a thing or two about high fashion. No such luck -- she continues to bore us with the wrong choices!
The man and his muses

You'd think Rocky S wouldn't like to be shown up by his muses. But that's exactly what happens here -- the scruffily-dressed designer is upstaged by the lovely Candice Pinto and Aanchal Kumar in sequinned cocktail splendour.
Boot-cut blues
Image: Shah Rukh KhanPhotographs: Pradeep Bandekar
Well, they have their jeans in common, at any rate! Shah Rukh Khan's awful boot-cut denims are exactly like Sallu's -- and ruin his smart tee-and-jacket combo!
