The eye-grabber of the evening doubtlessly was the Masakali girl Sonam Kapoor in a white flawless off-shoulder Chanel dress. The lady matched it up with black nail paints, simple make-up, and smoky eyes with dash of silver, and small butterfly-shaped hair jewels. And this is arguably the first time Chanel has sent their design to an actress in Bollywood.
Priyanka Chopra , who won the Best Actress figurine, was not really the winner in her style statement which is becoming a tad repetitive. Granted that the Alberta Ferrarti dress looked fetching, but even the royal blue, one-shouldered gown failed to accentuate Priyanka’s beauty because of her usual pin-up hair-do and long diamond earrings On the contrary, the Bachchan bahu Aishwarya Rai looked stunning in a Sabyasachi black and bronze sari. Adding the oomph factor was her sleeveless blouse in a vest kinda style and her hair rolled in a bun. Thank goodness the experiment suited her.
Asin , who won the Best Debutante award, looked different from the rest. She looked regal in her purple dress and her retro hairstyle. Genelia D'Souza was glamorous in shiny, figure-hugging black Cavalli gown and her fringes looked cute! Another lady in gown was chirpy Preity Zinta who opted for a black outfit with lace-work on the off-white bust of her gown and a matching clutch.
While most of the ladies were dolled up like princess, a few chose the ethnic Indian wear. It was Sari day for hotties like Bipasha Basu and Kareena Kapoor . Bipasha chose a beautiful Sabyasachi black sari and teamed it up with red coloured blouse and lot of bangles and green earrings. The white emphasizes elegance, and style diva Kareena managed it well in a white sari with intricate silver work. No points for guessing it were Manish Malhotra again for her.
Black is a safe bet, but the winner of Best Supporting actress Kangana Ranaut ’s black dress with chains to highlight the neckline can be described in one word - weird. Sushmita Sen chose black and looked effortlessly elegant, though the lady wasn’t her best. Prachi Desai ’s love for black is well known and she sported the same colored Raakesh Aggarwal gown with excitement, but to our utter disappointment.
