Cascades of crystals and Lara Dutta

Metal, crystals and opulent fabrics were all part of Raakesh Agarvwal's super-luxurious collection of eveningwear showcased on Day Five of Lakme Fashion Week. The colour scheme ranged from midnight blue to rich plum and fuschia pink, and the fabrics were mainly silk, tulle and net.

Dripping on gold, actress Lara Dutta took to the runway as the showstopper.Here's a look at the uber-rich offerings.

Pia Trivedi is the first entrant, in a hot little mini sporting a weave pattern.
