IIFA 2013: Shahrukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan…who made a splash on the green carpet?

A galaxy of B-town stars walked the green carpet at the prestigious IIFA awards ceremony held in Macau. Who caught your attention in their stylish avatar?

As the green carpet was rolled out at the Venetian Macau for IIFA 2013, we were eagerly waiting for high and mighty B-town folks to take their starry strides forward. Soon it started raining glamour and we were left totally dazzled as the gorgeous beauties and strikingly handsome men strolled in to the glitzy gala.

Shahrukh Khan looked his debonair best in a shiny tuxedo. The moment the Chennai Express actor walked in, fans went berserk and greeted him with ear-splitting cheers. SRK charmed the audience and the photographers alike with his distinctively bearded look. Shahid Kapoor and Aftab Shivdasani were spotted posing for the shutterbugs. Both Sasha and Aftab impressed us with their suited avatars. The bow-tie helped the two to make their charm work on the ladies. Abhishek Bachchan decided to go all jhataak and over-the-top in his flashy green kurta, which came as a bit of a style jhatka, considering we had seen him in a candy pink jacket just before that. After getting not so pleasant reactions from onlookers, junior B quickly decided to go in for an outfit change, seeming more haute and happening in a more conventional tuxedo. Sushant Singh Rajput, Anupam Kher and Zayed Khan decided to keep the affair straight and suited. Vicky Donor actor Ayushmann Khurrana made a statement with his designer bandhgala and blue pajamas. Neil Nitin Mukesh almost blinded us with his give-me-red look.

If the men managed to turn on their charm on the green carpet, the stylish divas made sure that they added bling to elevate the fashion parade to its next level. Madhuri Dixit Nene looked gorgeous in a pink chiffon ensemble with floral motifs. Vidya Balan won our vote for a beautiful black ghagra-odhni with intricate gold work. Anushka Sharma look absolutely heavenly in her long white beaded-backed Cavalli gown. Jacqueline Fernandez and Amrita Rao added much needed drama with their finely crafted costumes. Clearly, pale was the shade of the season as Sridevi, Dia Mirza and Neha Dhupia chose pastels to shine in. Yami Gautam looked thanda with a not so exciting combination of colours, but showed off her elegant collarbones. Minissha Lamba, Huma Qureshi, Gauhar Khan and Parineeti Chopra numbed our style senses with their not so appropriate fashion intelligence.

Take a look at this colourful fashion parade and tell us who inspired you with their unique styles and who put you off with their green carpet disasters!

IIFA 2013: Jacqueline Fernandez, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Sridevi sizzle on the green carpet

It was women power in full display at IIFA 2013 as Jacqueline, Madhuri, Sridevi, Gauhar Khan and others strutted the green carpet

Jacqueline Fernandez struck the perfect pose in red, showing off her slender figure. Sridevi looked glamorous in green and Madhuri Dixit-Nene was every bit the diva in a gorgeous ethnic number. Neha Dhupia was her experimental self, while Dia Mirza looked radiant, walking arm in arm with her beau, but we really liked Gauhar Khan’s look for the evening.

The gentlemen chose black or grey – Arjun Kapoor, Ayushmann Khuranna, Sonu Sood, Neil Nitin Mukesh (again, the Johny Bravo look is a big NO!), Anurag Basu and Zayed Khan opted for black while Prabhudeva and Anupam Kher wore grey suits. Boman Irani and Vir Das certainly were in a funny mood as they were photographed wearing turbans (the look for one of their gags, we suppose). Anurag Basu was practicing his post awards smile and wore his heart on his sleeve.

Macau certainly is shining bright this night with all the Bollywood stars descending on the green carpet.
