Several of Mumbai's sexy celebs modelled for their favourite designers at a fashion event in the city this week -- take a look.

The Blenders Pride Fashion Tour held an exclusive fashion preview on August 25, ahead of its Mumbai showings.

The tour, which is into its sixth edition, looks at promoting the works of 12 leading Indian designers across the country.

Having covered the cities of Chandigarh, Hyderabad and New Delhi, will be hitting Mumbai in the first week of September, followed by Kolkata and Bangalore.

Heres are the many celeb muses who were dressed to the nines for the designers they inspired.

Malaika Arora Khan looked ravishing in an animal-print gown, with a flurry of charcoal sequins down one side of the bodice and a thigh-high slit.
