A Manish Malhotra show at Lakme Fashion Week has to have Bollywood presence, be that in the audience or on the runway. The runway, this time, was represented by Genelia and Tusshar. After seeing Dimple and Kabir, we are sorry to say, we aren’t quite impressed! ;)

At a Manish Malhotra showing, you can expect a bevy of stars from the Cine world sitting front row and center. This year was no different and one of the many attending was Asin. What caught our eye was the metallic Dior Midnight Clutch in her hand. The clutch I love. The outfit. Can you say ‘bleh’.

Lakme Fashion Week started off with a show commemorating 50 years of Barbie. Several Indian designers had previously submitted their designs as to how they would dress the doll and the winning design would be then be worn by former model and now actress Katrina Kaif.

The show started off with Walushca Robinson in a pink Vikram Phadnis creation (already seen on Priyanka at the last LFW -see inside) and with models showcasing more outfits by various other designers. The winning design was Nishka Lulla’s, whose design was a tiered mini with a brocade bodice (as seen on Katrina). The best part of the show though was Waluscha’s daughter Chanel who while wearing a net gown designed by ‘The Shirt Company’ accompanied her mother on the ramp. So Awwwww.
