Again

Accompanying the Indian cricket team to the New Zealand parliament Preity Zinta wore the same Notte by Marchesa black and gold leopard print gown that she had previously opted for the opening night of the Dubai International Film Festival. This time as well her choice of clutch is a Bottega Veneta knot.

This is a gorgeous gown so I'm sure she would've totally rocked it. I'll also update the post with some full length shots as they emerge.

Sonam Kapoor on Filmfare

Filmfare presents Sonam Kapoor on the first edition of the mag for the upcoming year. She's look fab as usual and I'm loving the touselled shorter hair on her. Think "chicness" runs in the family with younger sis Rhea Kapoor looking great in a classic black and white figure hugging dress at the Slumdog Millionaire showcase at Dubai International Film Festival. Dad Anil Kapoor looks dappers too in a well cut black suit, crisp white shirt and a metallic skinny tie. If you haven't seen the movie as yet please do as its absolutely fantastic!

Chic in black

Whilst I'm not sold on Sonam's choice of hair colour, totally loving her chic black dress teamed with kundan kadas and bright fuschia flats at the Dilli6 showcase at DIFF'08.

More of Preity from Dubai

Preity Zinta's second outing at the 5th Dubai International Film Festival was at the Amfar dinner. Think the outfit is strictly ok and definitely pales in comparison to the floor length black and gold gown she wore on the opening night.

Drool worthy

How utterly fabulous does Preity Zinta look on the opening night of Dubai 5th Annual International Film Festival! The dress is absolutely divine - so loving the gold with the black, perfect hair and makeup; PZ adds the perfect finishing touch to the outfit with the ever bankable Bottega Veneta gold clutch. This gown supercedes the red number Preity wore at the Toronto International Film Festival. Despite her petite frame Preity carries off floor length dresses with elan and rarely gets it wrong. This red carpet queen is here to stay!
