You know how a fashion giant like,say...

The Sloppily Sexy Award

You know how a fashion giant like,say,an Anna Wintour can appear in a moth-eaten duckback raincoat (Caution: we’re trampling on the shaky terrain on conjecture right now) and make it the look du jour for the coming season? Poor Zarine seems to have given a stab at the carefully careless look hoping to set off a Wintour-esque trend. News flash Zarine: The bedraggled,fashionably sloppy T-shirt and jeans look takes an immense amount of skill and experience to nail (previously perfected only by Benetton models and Lindsay Lohan on her ‘save street children’ visit to India) and will only lead to disastrous and potentially fatal consequences (read being pooh-poohed in fashionable circles) if tried by fashion novices.

The Janice For Beginners Award

Those snug leopard print pants (presumably from her new collection) are nothing if not uber chic and we totally get why she’d tag it ‘Luxe Lover’—think along the lines of the bedroom,some feral pouncing and wild-cat purring. And it is through no fault of Neha’s (we blame it on this garbled sitcom-stuffed sensorium we call a culture) that those pants trigger memories of a certain someone called Janice from a once-upon-a-time sitcom called Friends. We can’t help but imagine Neha flapping her hands and going ‘Oh My God’ in a voice that makes us itch to take our mother’s frying pan and bash her over the head with it.

The Best Combo Award For The Good Girl/Bad Girl Routine

When Nishka Lulla was born,she must have enjoyed visitors bending over her crib and crooning,‘Awww. What an angel.’ (Just so you know Nishka,they say that about all babies). Cut to the present,Nishka seems to be nursing those angelic fantasies by vehemently clinging to her virginal ballerina dresses. Together,the mother-daughter duo seems to have perfected the good girl/ bad girl routine. (Everyone knows that shiny red stilettos have ‘unabashed provocateur’ written all over them.) As for what we prefer,you know what they say about good girls going to heaven and bad girls having a more packed travelling schedule? Think about it.
