Bebo, Kat, Bips and more catwalk for a cause!
It was the mother of all celebrity fashion shows at HDIL India Couture Week on Day Three, as Salman got all of B-Town's biggest actresses together.
They're not exactly known to get along famously, but Bollywood's hottest divas put up a heartwarming, united front on the ramp on Day Three of HDIL India Couture Week.
And of course, the only person who could get them to make a grand gesture like that is the king of grand gestures himself, Salman Khan.
The actor pulled out all the stops to ensure his 'Couture for a Cause - The Being Human Show', organised in association with Forevermark diamonds, was a smashing success.
Priyanka, Rani, Sushmita and other stars participated in two fashion segments, the first of which showcased styles through the ages, decade-wise; the second saw a switch to 'Being Human' tees and denims.
Things got off to a start in the Roaring '20s, with Preity Zinta opening the show in a flouncy black glittering dress, teamed with a matching hat and diamond earrings.
Tantalising '30s
Katrina Kaif was up next, in a deep red slinky velvet gown reminiscent of the '30s.
Fantastic '40s
Channeling old-world charm from the '40s was Rani Mukherjee, in a white kalidar lehenga with black velvet embroidered border and a matching zardozi-embellished blouse.
Flirty '50s
For the '50s, Bipasha Basu stunned in a sultry black halter gown with thigh-high slit.
Sexy '60s
It was great seeing Karisma Kapoor representing the '60s in a sizzling netted red sari with glittering silver zardozi border and diamond choker.
Sensual '70s
Sushmita Sen was the perfect hippie chick of the '70s in tiny gold hotpants and a bikini top, topped off with a flowing floral print chiffon kaftan.
Enlightened '80s
Reclining seductively on a chair, Priyanka Chopra showed us the best of the '80s in a net minidress with wide black belt and corset blouse.
Naughty '90s
The inimitable Kareena Kapoor represented the independent gal of the '90s in a black satin tuxedo suit, worn over a glittering black bustier.
Grooving in style
When Sallu himself entered, grooving along to the beats of young percussionists from India's Got Talent finalists The Sanjay Mandal Group, it was enough to drive the audience wild!
Getting down to business
The actor then proceeded down the ramp to showcase his togs -- red denims, teamed with a black velvet jacket edged with red trim designed by Arjun Khanna.
Hot quotient
The second segment of the show was kicked off once more by Zinta, this time in a hot denim mini and 'Being Human' tank top.
Having a little fun
The bubbly actress was her usual mischievous self, catching hold of and twirling around Katrina Kaif, who was up next!
Regained composure
Kat, in a pink tank and jeans, was still smiling when she reached the end of the catwalk.
Petite 'n' pretty
Rani showed off her petite frame in orange and denims.
Hot sho(r)ts
Bips' fabulously toned legs were on display in teensy shorts and a lemon yellow tee.
Yummy mummy
We don't believe two babies have come out of that bod either -- Karisma was slim, trim and fresh-faced in green that matched her eyes.
True blue
Sush may need to knock off a couple of extra pounds, but she still looked gorgeous in blue 'n' black.
Pretty picture
Piggy Chops decided to show off her curves in shorts too, along with a sky-blue tank.
Purple passion
Bebo followed with a big smile, in purple and boot-cut jeans.
Eight leading ladies!
Sallu then reappeared minus his jacket and led all his leading ladies down the ramp as the applause reached a deafening crescendo.
Waving his thanks
The Dabangg star was wearing one of his own 'Being Human' tees in white, teamed with a sleeveless jacket as he waved out his thanks.
