Gold all the way
The opening of the Marigold Fine Art exhibition,showcasing names like Andy Warhol,Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso,opened on a quiet note at the Viewing Room in Colaba on Tuesday.

Shoe off
The unveiling of the March edition of LOfficiel saw a huge turnout at the Galleria,Trident. Cover girl Priyanka Chopra,photographed in the beautiful Salvatore Ferragamo museum in Florence,Italy,was the bell of the ball.

The chic soiree was hosted by the Italian fashion house at their south Mumbai store,along with LOfficiel editor

Superna Motwane. Queenie Dhody,in a red dress,hung out with Madhoo Shah. Pooja Bedi made a blink-and-miss appearance while Nisha Jamvwal posed for photographs before she sauntered off to the Tods and Bottega Veneta stores next door. Priyanka didnt disappoint either; she only came in two hours late.

Bummer Priyanka wore a Swapnil Shinde gown for a Ferragamo promo but whats unforgivable are her grey lenses. To make up,she said: I have a shoe fetish. Im glad I got an opportunity to have my foot cast at the museum.
