Stars Dazzle in Green

Many a fashionista must have turned green with envy when three of Hollywood's leading ladies sashayed down the red carpet at this year's Golden Globes in varying shades of green.

Angelina Jolie, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mila Kunis and Elisabeth Moss broke away from the rest of the pack and opted to sheath themselves in emerald tones. Their savvy fashion choices won the kudos of fashion critics' and even that of Joan Rivers herself, who usually takes pleasure in ripping into the stars' fashion choices.

Their choice of colour was also a breath of fresh air among the sea of pastels and staple black that usually dominate most award shows.


Angelina Jolie glittered in a show-stopping sequined Versace gown. The outfit that was custom made for her deserves a place in the Smithsonian National Museum - where much of vintage American fashion resides.


Catherine Zeta-Jones opted for old world glamour in a Monique Lhuillier draped silk gown. The forest green creation was the perfect fit for Catherine's regal beauty.


Sassy Mila Kunis glided swan like down the red carpet in a Vera Wang creation. The one shouldered dress with a train that was neither too long or too short, earned her a place on many a Best Dressed list.


Elisabeth Moss shone in a dark green pleated Donna Karan gown for her walk down the red carpet.

Stylish After 50

There is no age limit to being stylish and fashionable. One's fashion sense does not melt away into the sunset after 50. Plus there's absolutely no rule that says a woman in her 60s or 70s who has grandchildren must stop wearing make-up, painting her nails and wearing lovely clothes. Way too often have I heard the common refrain: " So old already why must dress up, who is going to look at us?" or "Already a grandmother, why want to do all this some more...." Said in typical Malaysian lingo of course! First of all, I don't get the concept of dressing up for other people. When you look good, you feel good, it is as simple as that. It is not about the number of people who might stop by to lavish you with compliments. It is about making a statement about who you are - someone who believes in looking good by wearing clothes that compliment her. Forget the white streaks in your hair, those faint lines on your face. Clothes, shoes and accessories don...

Curly Haired Indian

 Last Friday I walked into a shop at Amcorp Mall that sells hair products and accessories. As I entered, I heard a customer whining to the sales staff at the counter about her hair. Said customer was a middle-aged Indian woman with long freezy hair down her back. When she noticed me, she gave me a look and told the staff at the counter: " You see lar, we Indians all have this kind of hair only." I was quite amused that she was putting me in the same category as her, considering that I don't have a huge lump of friz bobbing down my back. If only someone had given this woman some sage advice about managing her thick mane, maybe she wouldn't be whining and hankering after silky-smooth stresses - which she naturally cannot have unless she resorts to rebonding and rebonding till death, by which time she might no longer have any hair left. If only someone had told her that maybe she should not have her hair that long! And that perhaps she should trim it a little...

Mehrunissa the forgotten empress

A classic love story always ends with both lovers dying together, one partner dying, and the other living on and eventually dying of a broken heart. As myth, legend, folklore and history will tell us. The other half of a truly loving relationship will find it inconceivable to go on in normal fashion, once their partner is no more. In most of these 'classic' love stories,  the woman is always the epitome of feminine beauty, and the man is always dashing and every ounce the virile hero. Which is why the story of Shah Jehan and Mumtaz Mahal, and the monument of love he commissioned in her memory - the Taj Mahal, has fascinated the world for centuries. Because of her marble mausoleum and the story of 'great love' which led to its construction, Mumtaz Mahal became and is the most famous Mughal woman of her time.   The Mughal woman I'm more fascinated with however is Nur Jehan or Mehrunissa. The 20th and last wife of Emperor Jehangir, the father of Shah Jehan. ...
