With an electric excitement in the air, the celebrities strutted down the red carpet, pausing to pose for photographs. Priyanka Chopra, who won the Best Actor (Female) award, worked every bit of her pastel pink one-shouldered Gauri and Nainika gown, with a rosette detail lending an interesting visual element.

Lisa Haydon looked statuesque in her grey sequinned Cue by Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna creation. The gown with its plunging neckline and thigh-high slit was accessorised with a black clutch. Giving Haydon company in the thigh-high line was Alia Bhatt, who wore a strapless black Prabal Gurung gown, with strappy stilettos and a gold headband. Standing out from the stream of cocktail attires were Deepika Padulone and Tabu. With minimal accessories, Tabu let her red Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla sari do all the talking, while Padukone looked striking in a black lehenga sari from Jade, with gold jhumkis to boot. Shraddha Kapoor made a splash in a Notte by Marchesa gown.
