Fashion at IIFA 2009

The turnout for years' IIFA awards weren't all that. Either celebrities were busy, boycotting it, or didn't think it was important enough. There were performances by Bipasha Basu, Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Shahid Kapoor, Govinda and Riteish, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Ashutosh Gowariker created another scene by going on stage and saying something about Priyanka Chopra not deserving the best actress award and it should have went to Aishwarya; It was edited out when telecast a few weeks later. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite celebrity looks from IIFA 2009

Aishwarya as Barbie?

Update** AIshwarya has turned down the offer as of now..

Aishwarya's getting a barbie doll modelled after her. They keep stressing in articles about how the doll will have her green eyes and a dress like her. She's not known for having awesome dress sense and does having green eyes really mean they are prettier? Would she have even been as accepted so beautiful if she didn't have those green eyes that make her non-indian looking? I do believe she is very beautiful but I don't think she deserves to actually represent bollywood besides the fact she's the only one that really marketed herself internationally as being the face of bollywood and 'the most gorgeous Indian face' ever (I feel that crown belongs to Sridevi, but that's a whole different post altogether). She has delivered more flops and hits and more than that, she has more awful performances than ones she can be appreciated in. If some of the other actresses tried they could have achieved that international bollywood rep title as well. Bipasha Basu and Kareena Kapoor have quite an international face and look more Indian than Aishwarya does. They have far better performances and better bodies that work internationally.
Katrina Kaif is also supposedly getting her own doll. She may be a bollywood actress and gorgeous,but well, but she's not INDIAN.
It made more sense when Kajol and Priyanka Chopra got their own limited edition Bollywood Legends dolls.

Kareena getting friendly!

Looks like Kareena Kapoor is truly making efforts to put behind professional rivalry and personal differences with other leading ladies. Apparently, the fact that she invited Preity Zinta and Bipasha Basu, among others, to Saif's birthday party is indication that the actress on a bridge-building spree.Our source close to the actress revealed, "Kareena broke the ice with Preity when she invited her for Saif's birthday. In fact, Preity jokingly told Kareena, 'Saif is my best friend and I have to be nice to you'. That made Kareena break into laughter and the two have been good friends ever since."Preity, in turn, invited Kareena to her birthday bash at her home recently. “But Kareena could not attend because of a prior commitment in Delhi,” the source said. Recently,Kareena was seen bonding big time with Preity Zinta and Priyanka Chopra at the FICCI event.Kareena even made the first friendly move towards Bipasha Basu. “Bipasha was surprised to receive an invitation to Saif's birthday sent by Kareena,” said our source. Bipasha and Kareena had a major fight with each other during the making of Ajnabee.We tried to contact Kareena, but the actress remained unavailable for comment.
