Couture Week: Shruti Haasan, Zayed Khan on the ramp

Last updated on: October 16, 2009 09:46 IST

Empire line waists and halter neck tops ruled the roost at Manav Gangwani's show on Day Four of HDIL Indian Couture Week in Mumbai.

The colour palette of the collection called 'A Tempestuous Affaire' was golden, black and green. Gangwani who is known for his rather sensuous silhouettes stuck to his reputation and showed his collection for almost half an hour! Check it out!

Her first film Luck might not have earned Shruti Haasan too much praise but the Bollywood star made heads turn as she opened the show.

Tantalising and sensual, Gangwani gives the flowy dresses a break and goes for this figure-hugging piece instead.

Interesting pallu -- extremely fair skin needed to carry this one off.

We can think of at least seven naughty things you can do with that belt and sari!

An all-black sherwani with a hint of green at the collar...sure had us at hello!

Sexy and sensuous border-studded saree -- a far hotter alternative to the little black dress!

We'd have probably given the golden sherwani a pass had it not been for the interesting brooch there.
