Anushka Sharma was spotted wearing a gold sequinned dress with a plunging neckline from designer Nikhil Thampi. The actress wore it unveil her Femina cover. Jazzing up her outfit was her Christian Louboutin Gold Corpus pumps. I’m loving the unconventional neckline this dress has. Voluminous hair and fiery red nails complete her look.

Kangana Ranaut
Va va voom! Guess who’s looking uh-mazing?! Kangana Ranaut just got herself a gig as the face of Femina Believe – a first of its kind learning academy for women in India. The academy will empower women through skilled training in everything from style & dining etiquette to communication skills, body language, cooking and photography!
Kangana Ranaut
What are the damages? Anywhere from Rs 2,500 to 10,000 per course starting in Delhi and Mumbai and then expanding into 6 metros by early next year.
SUPER clever me thinks, and what a prefect brand ambassador? Kangana has definitely come a long way grooming herself from awkward newbie to mega fashionista, so I bet a lot of young hopefuls will look up to her for inspiration.

Now take a look at her shoot behind-the-scenes and leave me a comment if you think she’s looking smoking!

It’s time to pony up! The hottest hair trend for 2015 isn’t intricate braids or elaborate curls, but rather, a classic ponytail! Sleek, messy, low or high, the ponytail is versatile and so easy to pull off. With a host of award ceremonies, parties and events this year, we’ve seen several celebrities carry it off with élan! We’ve already told you about how we loved Katie Holmes’ super long tail at the Golden Globe Awards, and now, we bring some more of our favourite ponytails, courtesy the stars!
Amongst a sea of celebrities at the Star Guild Awards, Priyanka Chopra stood out in her vivid orange gown and chic ponytail! With strategic highlights, and a coiffed crown, her ponytail was on point!

Our favourite Modern Family star definitely kept her look modern in her sleek, high ponytail! High on shine and glamour, her polished ponytail was perfect for the Golden Globes party.

The epitome of casual chic is Jacqueline Fernandez! Dressed in the blues, with a wavy ponytail, she look trendy and beautiful.

Femina’s issue on ‘India’s Most Beautiful Women’ aptly featured the gorgeous Kareena Kapoor on its cover. With a wicked smoky eye, and messy high ponytail, she defined edgy glamour.

If a supermodel wears it, then it must be in fashion! Cara Delevingne gave off the ultimate cool-girl vibe in a badass ponytail, and leather ensemble at the 2015 BAFTA Los Angeles Tea Party. With a zig-zag part, curled bangs, and a tousled ponytail, her hair was off the charts!

Surveen Chawla and MissMalini
While many are counting down to Valentine’s day, the beauty loving crowd (a.k.a me), was in a different state of mind. The Nykaa Femina Beauty Awards, had no shortage of noteworthy style moments as guests including Kajol, Huma Qureshi, Sonam Kapoor, Akash & Isha Ambani, Tanisha Mukherjee and Gauahar Khan embraced the red carpet. Now just one day before it began we mentioned in our post that we were the official blogging partners for this event. NBD right? Well, it’s safe to say I was like a diabetic patient when they get to bite into a piece of candy. The event was full of the industry’s top tastemakers and celebrities – all gathered to honour the major beauty brands that took home the trophies. After all, with a great show, comes great pictures, and the spotting of an A-list celebrity or two. Can’t wait to know what went down? Take a look…
MissMalini
Our very own #BossLady presented an award at the show – So cool!
Shriya Saran, Huma Qureshi and Surveen Chawla
Meanwhile, these were some of the other winners:
The Best Lip Balm – Maybelline’s Baby Lips.
They also bagged an award for the best nail polish – Maybelline Color Show (Maybe they were born with it?)
The Best Moisturiser – Olay Total Effect Night Cream
The Best Cleanser – Ponds Active Cleansing Face Wash
Kajol and Tanisha Mukherjee
The Best Shampoo – TRESseme Keratin Smooth Shampoo. Can you guess who won best conditioner? It’s okay I’ll tell you, it was L’oreal Paris Total Repairing Conditioner.
The award for Classic Beauty went out to Kajol, I mean how gorgeous is she, you guys! Also check this out to see who Kajol’s Hollywood outfit doppelgänger is. We were blown away too!

Sonam Kapoor
In case you missed all the live tweeting, Team MissMalini was at the Nykaa Femina Beauty Awards last night! The first of its kind – and O-M-G, it was a blast! What more does a beauty blogger want than to spend lots of time with A-list, beautiful celebrities, sip on some wine, and watch away as the best in beauty get their due credit? Which celebs you ask? Well, the ultimate stylista was among us, of course: Sonam Kapoor! We sat down with her for a little chat on beauty, happiness, and what she would be if she wasn’t an actor. The answers may just throw you off a little.
Sonam Kapoor
Pure Garnet. My lipstick shade for L’Oreal Paris’ Pure Reds Range.
Of course we remember that, we modelled for Pure Reds, remember? Our fashion blogger, Anushka Mulchandani knows how to rock the shade!
Anushka Mulchandani
That would be mascara, blush, sunblock, makeup remover, and a smile!
Sonam, that definitely puts a smile on our face and we agree.
Just being happy, honestly
I don’t think there’s any age to dress a particular way. It’s all about feeling confident and rocking what you wear. Look at Jennifer Lopez wearing hot shorts at 40!
A writer.
Ahh, well. She’s just like us isn’t she? We also caught up with the evergreen Kajol and spotted lots of other celebrities at the show! Read all about it here.

Nargis Fakhri For Masaba Gupta
So we all know just how ridiculously gorgeous Nargis Fakhri is, whether she’s exercising, eating, strutting her stuff on the runway, beaming on screen or just being… this chica makes us go PHWOAR. So who would have thought that she could appear on the cover of Femina (the April issue) and surpass all our hotness expectations to look EVEN hotter. Yup, so I used the word ‘hot’ a few too many times, but there just isn’t any other way to say it. We cannot stop staring at this.
Nargis Fakhri | Source: Instagram @nargilove
You see what we were trying to say?! Nothing short of a sun-kissed, ethereal, greek goddess. We’re beyond mesmerised.
Nargis captioned this photo with ‘Oh my, is that me on the cover of Femina April Issue? Oh why yes, that is me.’ And she pretty much summed up our thoughts in those two sentences (times a hundred).
You keep that fire raging Nargis! <3

You already know we love this tribal swimsuit on Nargis Fakhri‘s seriously smoking body. She revealed the cover picture from her swimwear shoot with Femina Magazine on her Instagram, last night. The sleeked-back hair and bronzed body has us very ready for the summer (or you know, not so ready… got to get my butt to the gym). And Miss Fakhri’s Instagram snaps of the spread are only getting steamier. Take a look.
From a fashion perspective: I am very much coveting that one-piece, the red boots, and the metal cuffs. From every other perspective: holy sh*t, that’s hot!
There’s that too. But not everything about the shoot was… uhh, well… hot? Nargis Fakhri brought a little guest along.
Yes, Mr.Fecal strikes again! Some obsession, huh? Not that we’re complaining. Team MissMalini is filled with emoji queens.
Anyone want to gift us some emoji stuffed toys?

The L’Oréal Makeup Station
Makeup is meant to bring out your natural beauty and enhance your features. The key to a flawless glow is good skin. So, it’s imperative to stick to a skincare routine that can make you a better version of yourself, but makeup never harms!
For all you beauty bugs, we’re listing down everything you need to know to take your makeup to the next level. Femina Believe’s Makeup Expert, Pinky Asnani is letting you in on the mistakes you can avoid while getting ready. Are you prepared to transform into a more fabulous you?
During the day, a liquid foundation is great! Now, we don’t need to tell you how important sunscreen is. You could mix your favourite SPF with your liquid foundation and blend, blend, blend!
Makeup Faux Pas: Cakey texture.
Tip: Less is more when it comes to any beauty product. Remember to blend evenly. Try using a kabuki brush.
MAC Pro Longwear Foundation
Mascara has the power to deepen and define your eyes. For a minimal makeup look, you could just opt for mascara and you’re all set! For more, check this out!
Makeup Faux Pas: Clumpy lashes
Tip: Curl your lashes from roots to the tip for a full coverage. However, too many layers could amount to clumping and a fake-ish look. If you happen to smudge it into your skin, don’t worry, let it dry out and then remove it with a q-tip!

Eyebrows are one of the most important, if not eye-catching features of your face! They define and bring out the beauty of your eyes.
Makeup Faux Pas: Over-lined and dark eyebrows.
Tip: Excess filling will make it look too dark. Balanced eyebrows are key! Remember, the eye pencil is meant for filling in the blank spaces, not to create new eyebrows. Use a brow powder with an angled brush in the direction of your hair to fill in.
Benefit brow pencil
Using a cream or powder-based blush could add warmth and colour to your face. Opt for a matte blush for the daytime and a shimmer based one for the night!
Makeup Faux Pas: Barbie doll-like appearance due to too much application.
Tip: The rule of less is more applies here too. For a powder based one, dust off the excess from your brush and then apply. Too much will make it look like someone hit you in the face! No one wants to step out like that.

Contouring might be a new-age trend, but we wish we had been doing this all our lives! For more on contouring, check this out!
Makeup Faux Pas: Bronzer that looks like lines.
Tip: No one likes a patchy bronzer (whether it’s cream, liquid, or powder). So for an even application, just blend with a soft hand from up to down and try rounded motions.
Bobbi Brown Foundation Sticks
Lipstick can make your outfit just pop! And it’s summer guys, so it’s time to bring out all those bright colours!
Makeup Faux Pas: Bleeding lipstick.
Tip: To keep your lipstick from fading, use a lip liner to fill in your lips. Line your lips, after which you can go in for your lipstick or lipgloss.

Parineeti Chopra
When I say keepin’ it 100, I mean… she isn’t afraid to stay real, she never really has been, and bring out her quirky side. We’re all about Parineeti Chopra‘s recent experimental streak and tremendously hot bod, why wouldn’t we be? She gave us #streetstylegoals at #AIFWSS16 and then some trendy vibes in a maxi jacket. Last night, she won an award for Femina‘s Power List that honors women achievers in fashion, Bollywood, business, philanthropy, and more.

Yes, that’s what she wore and did she slay or what? This time, it’s all about that quirk for the gorgeous star. She’s wearing Kristy De Cunha and Christian Louboutins with them spikes! She was styled by Nitasha Gaurav for the event and her makeup and hair was done by Rosario Belmonte. Here’s what Nitasha has to say about the look:
Parineeti is in such great form, so we decided to do the Kristy De Cunha dress for this event because it’s a quirky pattern and silhouette that will show off her form. I think it made a fun and fresh statement with the smokey eyes and poker straight hair.

One minute Anushka Sharma‘s rocking her sweats at the airport and the next minute she’s on the cover of a magazine looking like this! Femina released their 56th-anniversary issue with Anushka Sharma on the cover, and may I just say, she looks sexy as hell. In a semi-sheer, purple sequinned number, everything from her pose to the look in her eyes seems to give the message, “I’m sexy and I know it“. Well, she doesn’t need to tell us twice! The cover was shot by editorial favourite, Prasad Naik. Here’s a short BTS clip Femina posted on their Instagram page…
We can’t wait to see what she comes up with next. Always full of surprises, this one.

Alia Bhatt
It’s a new month, guys… well, almost! A new month means new cover stars and these cover stars are bringing you the best in bridal, beauty, and luxury fashion. Let’s start with cover star number one: Alia Bhatt. Last month, she was on Cosmopolitan India‘s 19th-anniversary issue and now she’s gone from glamazon to trendy-chic on the cover of Femina in head-to-toe Dior. I need those boots… seriously.
The cover spread was shot by Rohan Shrestha, styled by Divyak D’Souza, art direction by Meetesh Taneja, and makeup by Elton J Fernandez. In the picture above, she’s wearing Rajesh Pratap Singh with Isharya jewels.
Here, once again, she’s wearing Rajesh Pratap Singh and Dior.
And here, with all that flawless wet hair happening, she’s wearing Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna, Amit Aggarwal, and Dior!
Moving along to cover number 2, Parineeti Chopra is on the cover of Bridal Mantra. Take a look.
She’s wearing Manish Malhotra and Anita Dongre‘s Pink City Maang Tikka.
The shoot was styled by Anisha Jain and makeup, once again, is by Elton J Fernandez. Her nose piece is once again, Anita Dongre’s Pink City. The necklace is from Anmol Jewelers.
And this 3rd cover is a special beauty issue by Grazia India. So, of course, Sonam Kapoor‘s face is front and center.
Here’s the lowdown: she’s wearing Gucci, she’s been styled by Ekta Rajani, her makeup is by Mallika Bhat, hair by Hiral Bhatia, and the cover story has been shot by Rid Burman.
Sonam is sporting a bare minimum makeup look and since this is the beauty issue, we know what’s going to be trending!

Sonakshi Sinha is the covergirl for Femina‘s January 2016 issue! Although it’s her first time on the cover of this magazine, she couldn’t have looked any more stunning. While we’re waiting to get our hands on the issue (that’s in stores tomorrow), we wonder what she did to achieve that winged eyeliner. Yah noh? It’s quiet cool! Not the usual flick we’ve seen on her in the past, Sonakshi seems to carry off this bold eyeliner and sleek hair-do like a boss! Oh, wait. She IS the boss!
Now while we wait to get our hands on the January issue, let’s hit repeat on this single!
