Kangana Ranaut

[Trista]

I love that outfit, and she definitely is somebody who doesn't need a whole lot of makeup-she looks better in events like that where she's just wearing a little bit of face stuff and then a somewhat-subdued eye and lip, as opposed to the super-elaborate stuff, the winged eyeliner, etc.

It just gets better...I love that dress she wore to meet the contest winners. Between that and the hair, it's ethereal defined.

 

[Trista]

Oh, and the website? Very well thought-out and put together. I'd like if it showed some older images, but other than that, really nice, and I'm definitely bookmarking her blog.

 

[indian_rose]

I really love her hair, when she leaves it all natural like that! I really wish a knew what products she uses and how she cares for it....because my curls need alot of help lol

I think the website is really cute, and i hope she does post more on her blog!

 

[Trista]

See I think it's big for someone who is a star like her to not only run her own site, but to have her own blog...and to confirm or deny things without the filter of the press. Sadly, the first real entry? Confirming that she and Adhyayan broke up. She's got a busy year ahead of her though-filming No Problem (filming now, I believe) and Once Upon A Time In Mumbai (July, I believe), then the promotions for Kites.

 

[Trista]

Here's some new ones! The first one, courtesy of Reuters, is on the red carpet of the IIFA charity fashion show. The last four are her leaving for Macau.

She looks exhausted in the airport pictures-however she is currently shooting for Once Upon A Time in Mumbai. I would venture to say that her bag is a Marc Jacobs one, but I'm not 100% sure.

And we have our Best Supporting Actress! (Who didn't see that coming? It was obvious as soon as they announced nominations) Pictures courtesy of Yahoo. I love the ballgown, she's definitely the belle of the ball.

Not crazy about the bangs though.

 

[indian_rose]

Yea im not keen on the bangs either. I think the gown is by Rick Roy....abit too prom-ish for me.

 

[Trista]

Yep, it is Rick Roy.

Kangna gets weighed down

And it’s not by the doings of on-off boyfriend Adhyayan Suman, but by a dress that designer Rick Roy has created for her that weighs an astonishing 25 kg.

Awe-struck by the gowns at the Oscars, Kangna apparently asked the designer to make one fairytale gown for her to wear at a forthcoming international awards night. The inspired designer used a shipload of crystals on 250 metres of pink fabric for this gown. Kangna is said to be shocked by the creation and is wondering how she will walk in it. “That’s your headache, how you pack it, carry it and walk in it,” the designer is supposed to have advised the Bollywood hottie.

I love those detail shots; I love her jewelry. I want it so badly.

The dress looks like it's primed to fall off though-hope she had some fashion tape.

And if you think she looks crazy done-up now, wait til Once Upon A Time in Mumbai...it's total 70's Bollywood, so kohl, big hair, and elaborate saris. That is one movie I can't wait to see.

 

[indian_rose]

^Im looking forward to that! I love watching 60/70s old hindi movies...actresses like Sharmila Tagore, Sadhna, Waheeda Rehman etc all looked so glam and chic! I think Kangna will carry the look quite well, since her features are quite classic.

 

[Trista]

^Some people compare her to Audrey Hepburn, and while I don't think that's the case, I see Kangana as one of the stars who can do a more classic look well. She also doesn't go piling on the makeup every day unlike certain other B-Town stars. I have a feeling that after her next three films (OUATiM, Kites, No Problem) she is going to be right in the upper tier. I mean, she's getting there, especially with all her awards-she is the one star who I would watch anything that she was in. I have no doubt that No Problem will be great, I believe I read she starts shooting for that in July.

Oh, and her black lace dress is D&G.

This is a weird gripe, but I don't like that Tommy Hilfiger tee.

Looks like she signed two more movies-she apparently signed Actor, a thriller alongside Amitabh Bachchan, and then Tanu Weds Manu, a romantic comedy alongside Madhavan. She's currently shooting right now for No Problem in Durban (South Africa), Kites is slated for a December release, and I believe her Telugu film (Ek Niranjan) has gone into post-production. Apparently she got paid 1 crore for it, which I believe is 1 million rupees (don't quote me on that though).
