It’s here! The Filmfare awards will take place tonight, and while I’m excited to find out who wins what – I’m even more excited to find out who will WEAR what! Sorry, but it’s all about the clothes for me. So this year, before we see the final choices, I decided to go ahead a predict what some of the celebrities might be wearing. Don’t worry, this isn’t just my prediction, I also did some detective work and spoke to their stylists – yes, they might have hinted a little. So find a comfy spot, bring your popcorn and take a look at some of the designers these celebrities might wear tonight.
1. Deepika Padukone
Lets start with the girl who’s style sometimes makes our head spin. Anaita Shroff Adajania is styling Deepika Padukone tonight and a little birdie tells me she might be wearing a gown by a new designer from Dubai. Of course these things aren’t finalised until the very last minute and some of her other options are Gauri & Nainika or Dior. Personally, I’m hoping she does something different – like maybe trousers instead of a gown.
2. Sophie Choudry
Sophie Choudry is always someone to keep an eye on. She might not be too experimental but majority of her outfits do the trick. This year, Tanima Khosla will be styling her and one of the top options for Sophie is a gown by Monisha Jaising.
3. Jacqueline Fernandez
Another celebrity who sets our style hearts on fire is Jacqueline Fernandez! Sources say Sabyasachi is her designer of choice tonight and she most probably will be wearing one of his exquisite creations.
4. Shraddha Kapoor
Choices are Temperley London, Atsu and Bibhu Mohapatra but she’s most definitely wearing something western. Shraddha Kapoor is being styled by Tanya Ghavri tonight. I vote for Temperley, what about you?
5. Kajol
Kajol always gives us something to look at. Whether we love it or hate it, we most definitely love her and her stylist Triporna Majumdar tells us that if she attends tonight (she might not be in town) she’ll probably wear something by Shantanu & Nikhil.
6. Karisma Kapoor
While her sister Kareena Kapoor might not be attending, Karisma Kapoor is all set to walk the red carpet in a traditional outfit from either Monisha Jaising, Rohit Bal or Abhishek Sharma. How do we know? - Esha Amin (her stylist) told us her picks.
7. Alia Bhatt
Yes we love looking at Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor, but if her last two appearances are anything to go by, Alia Bhatt is going to be the one to watch out for tonight. Sources say she’s wearing something by Nikhil Thampi but I’ve heard a few rumours about Alice + Olivia and Alexander McQueen as well. Personally, I’m hoping it’s Nikhil Thampi.
8. Ileana D’Cruz
Alia isn’t the only one who’s possibly wearing Nikhil Thampi tonight. Ileana D’Cruz has him on her top list as well and we’ve been told it’s not going to be a basic gown – if this is true, I can’t wait!
9. Kalki Koechlin
Kalki Koechlin may not attend tonight but if she does, you’re not going to believe what she’s picked. It’s Nikhil Thampi for the win, again! For her though, it’s got to be some kind of revolutionary sari – what do you think?
10. Sonam Kapoor
If Sonam Kapoor is going, it means we’re definitely going to be glued to our phones to see what she’s wearing. Of course sister, Rhea Kapoor will be styling her and the options are between Anamika Khanna, Rohit Bal and Elie Saab.
We’ve also heard news about newbie Surveen Chawla, who is possibly wearing Tanya Kanuja and Varun Dhawan who might just go with Paul Smith or Ashish Soni. Baby Doll singer Kanika Kapoor says we’ll see her in a glittering Monisha Jaising number! While these are all predictions and ifs and maybes – we can’t wait to see how many of them come true! Stay tuned…
