Wanted: A Makeover

Bollywood actors continue to scream for attention on the Cannes red carpet. Ameesha Patel turned up for a screening in an ornate Manish Malhotra lehenga with makeup that didn’t match her skin colour. Accompanying her was Shortcut Romeo co-actor Puja Gupta who looked drab in an ivory Gauri and Nainika creation. The actors tried to redeem themselves at their portrait sessions — Gupta turned up in a black-and-gold Rahul Mishra jacket and Patel played it down in a white-and-red creation,also by Malhotra. But Sherlyn Chopra,in an off-white lehenga and plunging choli,proved to be a strong contender for the ‘Worst Dressed Indian at Cannes’ title.
