Flowing, elaborate, layered and slinky western dresses scored over the India Sari and Salwar Kameez for most Bollywood actors at the green carpet of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards. While only Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra among the A classers stuck to the graceful six yard drape, most others like Bipasha Basu, Kangana Ranaut, Mughda Godse, Genelia D’Souza, Sushmita Sen, Diya Mirza, Amrita Rao and others proudly showed off their curves in body hugging Western attires.

Aishwarya wore a mint coloured, subdued, yet heavily embellished creation by designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla and looked extremely eye catching walking in toe with husband Abhishek Bachchan. Bipasha, Kangana and Sushmita were the best dressed among those who opted for the Western Silhouette. Bipasha wore a dress by delhi based designer, Sisters Gauri and Nainika Karan, Kangana wore a pristine white wedding dress like attire by Rick Roy. Sushmita, looked fit and slender in a slim, long Roberto Cavalli number.

Star wives Suzanne Roshan and Mallika Khan took walked the green carpet wearing exquisite gowns. The men gave the women a neck to neck competition on the fashion quotient. The bow tie look seemed very much like the flavor of the season with Abhishek Bachchan and Arjun Rampal flaunting the same. Hritik Roshan who was named the IIFA style icon of the year, ended up making a major fashion Faux pas by wearing silver formal shoes for the ceremony, where he was also named the best actor in a leading role for “ Jodha Akbar”.
