Ranbir Kapoor
On the ramp: Opening day
Style file: Bollywood’s favourite boy next-door walking for the filmdom’s favourite couturier, Manish Malhotra, was bound to be a smashing hit, and so it was. Ranbir strolled down the ramp in a burgundy jacket coupled with a pair of velvet trousers. Full points from our side.

Aditi Rao Hydari
On the ramp: Day two
Style file: This royal beauty took to the runway as the showstopper for celebrated designer Ritu Kumar, who presented her Varanasi Weaves collection on Thursday evening. Aditi donned a lush pink brocade sari with a gold churidar, albeit in a modern-day manner.

Dia Mirza
On the ramp: Day two
Style file: This actress-producer, known for her infectious positive energy, sashayed down the ramp for Anita Dongre, whose collection was an ode to traditional weavers and craftsmen. Dia looked resplendent in a black maxi with red embroidery and was joined on the ramp by a few weavers themselves.

Malaika Arora Khan
On the ramp: Day five
Style file: The uber glamorous Malaika is set to tog up in an Arpita Mehra number. Modern patterns infused with traditional silhouettes is Mehta’s USP and with a sex siren for a showstopper, this is bound to be one show worth keeping your eyes peeled for.

Shilpa Shetty

Arjun Rampal
On the ramp: Day four

Esha Gupta
On the ramp: Day five

Kareena Kapoor Khan
