Deepika dazzles Hollywood-style!

Designer duo Gauri and Nainika put on a power-packed show on Day Four of the LFW.

In association with Grey Goose vodka, the line was a reflection of old-school Hollywood glam -- ravishing cocktail dresses sporting rosettes, large bows and corset fits, inspired by icons like Audrey Hepburn and Gina Davis. The celeb quotient was provided by the lovely Deepika Padukone, who showstopped in a floor-sweeping number. Take a look.

As renowned jazz singer Geane serenaded the audience live, Carol Gracias started things off in a dramatic red number with corset bodice and an exaggerated rose at the shoulder.

This first line of scarlett affairs was inspired by a specially-created ladies' martini by the Grey Goose brand for the collection, called 'La Beaute Rouge'.

Flounce 'n' bounce


Next up is a flouncy one-sided affair with gentle pleating and rouching at the neckline.

Bow flow


Rambling and rounded, a bright bow-tied drape takes to the runway.

Classic jumpsuit


This slightly slimmer jumpsuit is one-up on any run-of-the-mill gown with its red carpet appeal.

Shifting shades


Candice Pinto sails out of the wings in a new segment of black-white combos, with rosettes adorning both sleeves.

Trailing togs


A single rosette makes a statement once more as a majestic train trails behind this ensemble in true star style.

Pleated and panelled


Sporting pleated and panelled detail on a mini, Carol takes to the ramp once more flouting her shapely gams.

Winging it with wraps


Wrapped and pegged by a single satiny rosette, another thigh-high dress makes its mark.

Layer it out


With a style reminiscent of classic Charleston outfits, an asymmetric number gently undulates into layers and ruffles, fastened to one side by rouching.

Retake


We see another take on a winged cocktail, this time with capped sleeves slightly altering the overal appearance.

Blaze of black


Seductively draped and layered, an ankle-length black gown blazes onto the runway, the white bloom at the neck standing out like a statement accessory.

Peek-a-boo


A slit down the fitted bodice of this outfit shows off a becoming bit of skin and sets off the flitting underskirt.

Mermaid muse


From form-fitting to flouncy, a mermaid silhouette holds hints of pink, deviating from the black and white formula so far.

Deepika dazzles


Looking every inch the superstar, actress Deepika Padukone showstops for the designers in their best one yet -- a delicate empire-waisted silk and tulle gown.

Flanked by the fashionistas


Gauri and Nainika lead Deepika down the ramp once more to thunderous applause. A glam collection if ever there was one!
