In Herve Leger

Whilst not the exact same colour as the jerseys of the Rajasthan Royals boys' Shilpa Shetty shines in this stunning Herve Leger number at the IPL launch dinner. If I had to name the top 5 women in India who's wardrobes I would love to raid, Shilpa would be right up there. Carrying off a Leger as well as her though is a different story altogether!

In Louis Vuitton

Love the colours, love the dress and love Shilpa Shetty in it. What a chic start to the week after the long weekend in Melbourne :-)

Knotty affairs

One of the most talked about weddings of the year is that of Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra who got married yesterday. The bride wore a Tarun Tahiliani saree and Raj went for a sherwani designed by Shantanu-Nikhil. Here's wishing them a fab married life ahead.

Dior Ditto!

Looks like the Dior press pack is doing the rounds and close on the heels of the Twinkle-Akshay L'Officiel cover we have Shilpa Shetty as Harper Bazaar's cover girl for the October issue. Have a preference between the two covers?

In Donna Karan

Update - Thanks 'Nessa' for helping me validate that it is indeed Donna Karan that Ms.Shetty has got on. I've updated the post with an image of the exact jacket she's wearing which is quite similar to the skirt suit; both ensembles being from the designer's Spring 09 Modern Icons collection.

Spotted Shilpa Shetty at a photocall for the Tiffinbites Restaurant in London wearing what looks like a Donna Karan skirt suit. The lapels look different from the version seen on the model but I have a feeling that its definitely Donna Karan.

In Herve Leger

The latest celeb appearance on Salman Khan's TV show 'Dus ka Dum' is by none other than Shilpa Shetty. And her choice of outfit is not surprisingly a Herve Leger Bandage Cocktail Dress. The exact same is available for sale through Bergdorf Goodman for USD$950.

Like daughter like mum

The Louis Vuitton obsession seems to run in the family with now Mama Shetty seen carrying the Louis Vuitton Suhali 'Le Talentueux' bag at Shatrughan Sinha's party for his film 'Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai'. You can catch Shilpa with some of her Louis pieces here.

Louis spotting

Going for a hat-trick?

Whilst Shilpa Shetty's IPL team may not have won, Ms. Shetty does look like she's all set to deliver a hat-trick when it comes to magazine covers. First it was the Grazia cover with the Azara by Alpana & Neeraj dress and now Shilpa dons a embellished denim mini on the latest cover of Vogue India. How old is this woman again?

In Azara by Alpana and Neeraj

Talk about double dose of fabulosity in a day! First it was Aishwarya Rai in Elie Saab and now Shilpa Shetty wows me as the cover girl for the June issue of Grazia in a body con Balmain-sque number by the the immensely talented designer duo Alpana and Neeraj who run the label Azara.

Blinging up cricket

The new glamour face of IPL, Shilpa Shetty puts her spin on dressing for cricket on the cover of Living magazine - teaming her teams Rajasthan Royals' t-shirt with a rossette corset and sequined pads.

In Manish Malhotra

This lass has definitely traded designer camps. Never to be seen in anything else but Tarun Tahiliani when it came to ethnic ensembles all her recent traditional clothes come from the stables of Manish Malhotra. So it came as no surprise to see Shilpa Shetty wear a Manish Arora lehenga in her IPL team 'Rajasthan Royals' music video. The lehenga isn't a straight off the runway but a mish mash of a few different pieces showcased at India Couture Week.

The Shetty sisters

For a visit to the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Shilpa Shetty and Shamita Shetty went demure in their best comfy suits teamed with a Hermes Birkin and a Fendi Spy respectively. Shilpa opted for a sunny yellow churidaar which I really like on her and Shamita went for a pink and white patiala salwaar suit. Have a favourite between the two?

LBD edition

Update - Thanks 'Anonymous' for the tip-off. Turns out Shilpa was wearing a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress which did go on sale at net-a-porter, no surpises got snapped up fast and is no longer available!

Leggy lass Shilpa Shetty wore a black LBD with peek-a-boo pink at the Rajasthan Royals uniform launch. She completed her look with black sandals and a black Bottega Veneta clutch. I love the dress on her.

Manish Malhotra & LV Limelight deux

Shilpa Shetty has teamed a Manish Malhotra ensemble with her beloved Louis Vuitton limelight clutch before at an event in Dubai last year and now does it again at a Rajasthan Royal's party at Jai Mahal Palace. I couldn't find a full length but it does look like a churidaar.

Going spotty in a good way

After buying into an IPL team Shilpa Shetty expands her business empire by collaborating with Kiran Bawa of ISOS to launch a chain of ISOS medispas across India. On both occasions she chose dresses that she can give any bollywood starlet half her age a run for their money; can anyone else rock a cheetah print as well she does? I think, not.

Shilpa Shetty & I

Whilst I don't have Ms Shetty's height or figure we do share the same taste when it comes to clothes and an obsession for Louis Vuitton bags.

Do you remember this pink suit of Shilpa from one of her appearances in London post her Big Brother win? I loved the churidaar so much I got a similar one made and I've worn it to death since then. Shilpa Shetty flanked by me on both sides!
