Zendaya is the queen of red-carpet events, and the actor proved the same as she walked the pink carpet at the NMACC India In Fashion Gala last night. The star looked resplendent at the event as she arrived dressed in a beautiful saree, straight off Rahul Mishra’s runway collection. She wore a midnight blue pre-draped number decked in shimmering stars and floral patterns, featuring a pallu that acted like a train at the back. She styled it with an embellished gold bralette blouse, a Bulgari bracelet, rings, black heels, earrings, a messy bun, and minimal makeup.

Alia Bhatt made it to our NMACC best-dressed list the first time, and for the second time, she did not disappoint. Rhea Kapoor styled her for the Day 2 Gala in a gorgeous Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring Summer 2023 off-white and gold gown decked in shimmering sequins and a sheer overlay. She styled it with a matching floor-sweeping cape, floral-shaped earrings, ornate gold rings, killer high heels, bold makeup picks, and open locks.

Kriti Sanon undoubtedly holds the top 3 positions in our best-dressed list for Day 2 of the NMACC Gala. She wore a reimagined saree gown custom-made by designer Monisha Jaising. She wore a black silk gown featuring gold brocade embroidery, a one-shoulder neckline, a cut-out on the bust, a risqué thigh-high slit, and a floor-grazing hem. She wore it with a matching jacket, centre-parted braided hairdo, jhumkis, bold smoky eye shadow, nude lips, and dewy makeup.

Priyanka Chopra arrived at India In Fashion exhibition with Nick Jonas. The couple looked stunning as they posed together on the pink carpet. While Priyanka chose an Amit Aggarwal creation, Nick wore a custom, Manish Malhotra. She chose a multi-coloured pre-draped silk saree featuring a thigh-high slit on the front and a pallu worn on the arms. She wore it with an embellished bandeau top, shimmering high heels, a Bulgari choker necklace, a bracelet, statement rings, and diamond studs.

Malaika Arora attended the NMACC Gala with Arjun Kapoor. She chose a Rahul Mishra off-the-runway look for the event – a nude-coloured bodysuit decked in heavy multi-coloured embellishments, full-length sleeves, and a tasselled floor-sweeping cape on the back. She wore the ensemble with a layered necklace, matching earrings, a box clutch, and killer high heels. A half-tied hairdo, smoky eye shadow, nude lips, blushed cheeks, glowing skin, and contoured face completed the glam picks.

Bhumi Pednekar looked gorgeous in a metallic constructed outfit by Anamika Khanna as she walked the pink carpet at the star-studded fashion extravaganza during the NMACC Gala. She wore the edgy ensemble with gorgeous silver embellished statement jewellery, open tresses, light plum lip shade, smoky eye shadow, mascara on the lashes, feathered brows, and high heels.

Gig Hadid chose a custom Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla saree for day 2 of the NMACC Gala. She wore a gold jewelled blouse and a white Chikankari saree. The drape came embellished with gold patti borders and featured a thigh-high slit on the side. Lastly, a sleek bun, stacked gold bangles and embellished high heels rounded it off.
