If you are famous, and dress like a rag, we just have to pull you up. These 8 celebs made it to Your Life's Worst Dressed Hall of Shame, last year. We did a quick check to see if they took our advice |

Rank 1
Kashmira Shah, actor
What we said then: When your tummy shines enough to reflect light, you know you are over-bronzed. Besides, unless Kashmira was planning to do a Chhalka chhalka at Fardeen Khan's sangeet, the item number garb doesn't gel. Why look like a tart at a high profile wedding celebration? Current status: Zero improvement. Just because you've got to turn up at the premiere of the film Holiday, doesn't mean you send all semblances of appropriate dress sense packing for a vacation. Pooja Bhatt's film released way back in February, but we're yet to figure out the logic behind Kash's transition from a truck driver's pin-up girl to a truck driver's blushing bride. | |

Rank 2
Manisha Koirala, actor
What we said then: Put on some make-up for heaven's sake! Manisha Koirala is looking stressed. What is she on? Actually make that, what is she not on? Someone please tell her that wearing a belt is not going to disguise her figure or the absence of it. Current status: Just as bad. Manisha is blessed with an angelic face, making her one of Subhash Ghai's greatest finds. But her recent public appearances make us wonder where the charm has disappeared. She turned up at the premiere of Superman Returns, once again, looking not quite herself. If you are conscious of your tummy, don't wear white, or baby pink. Black would have done just fine, and left her hands free to do more than mask the paunch. | |

Rank 3
Rakshanda Khan, TV actor
What we said then: Was Rakshanda Khan's ensemble meant to be inspired by the tri-colour? She should have moved the flower on her belt a bit to the right, to add a chakra and complete the patriotic picture. The gypsy skit went out of fashion eons ago. Since then, the knee length, and even the mini have arrived on the scene. Current status: Just won't listen. Rakshanda may be one of the busiest stars on Indian television today, but how about making some time to dress well? She landed at co-actor Riva Babbar's birthday party in a gypsy skirt (again!) and a matching racer back that said "STAR". Yellow and yellow make you a dirty fellow, not a star, Rakshanda. | |

Rank 4
Sonali Kulkarni, actor
What we said then: Is Sonali celebrating World Purple Day? Fashion's FIRST thumb rule β you don't have to match your lipstick and your hairband with the colour of your dress. What's an intelligent actor like Sonali doing in this ensemble anyway? Current status: Just as bad. We are convinced this Maharashtrian mulgi suffers from a multiple personality disorder. She has a record of turning up at an event in either an over-coordinated ensemble, or mismatched accessories. But catch her outside the boundaries of blinding flash bulbs, and she will stun you with her easy beauty. | |

Rank 5
Bobby Deol, actor
What we said then: What's the point of wearing a tee under a denim jacket, when you are going to button up till your chin? The grumpy face isn't helping either. Current status: Just as bad. If aagyakari Bobby listens to everything Dharam paaji tells him, he should advice him to ditch buttoned up jackets. It's stuffy when they are buttoned up to your chin. And what's with that magenta horse shoe on your heart? | |

Rank 6
Shilpa Saklani, TV actor
What we said then: How far away is the horse? What was she thinking when she paired a white dress with tan boots and a green bag? Total mismatch. This nurse got married last week. It's been more than two years since Shilpa got married to Apoorva Agnihotri, but she refuses to let go off her chooda. Great idea, when you know you are a role model for pati vratas watching your soaps on TV, but wearing it with a shirt dress and calf length boots is style sacrilege. Current status: Advice taken. Shilpa was spotted at co-star Riva Babbar's birthday party in westerns, and while a hint of sindoor was visible, the chooda had been replaced with a dainty silver bracelet. Way to go! | |

Rank 7
Amrita Arora, actor
What we said then: While the long, mid-riff revealing slit in Amrita's top screamed for attention, the not-so-long V at the back did much more. A slow charming smile, a toss of her curled maneβ¦ and then the sudden shock of a white bra (hooks, straps et al) out there for the whole world to see. Either she didn't know it or thought it was okay. Which is a bigger fashion faux pas? You decide. Current status: Advice taken. No one can escape being caught in a tricky fashion dilemma β once in a while! We are glad Amu untangled herself from the strappy episode, and regained her backless position. | |

Rank 8
Katrina Kaif, model/actor
What we said then: What does a 20-something, former model-turned-IT-guy's-girlfriend do when she wants to conceal her newfound flab from the photographers' prying lenses? Certainly not what Salman Khan's squeeze Katrina did β she threw on a funeral black tent, big enough to fit a camel, and had no visible contour. Either that, or Katrina mistook "fashion" for "funeral" on the invitation card. The grim expression, boring hairdo and unadorned neck, ears and wrists bear testimony to her myopia. A heavy blow to the false image of a probable fashion diva that she projected until now. Current status: Advice taken. Welcome back fashion diva. Katrina represents a rare species of Bollywood stars who bounce back to their svelte self after going through a plump interlude. | |
