Femina hosted its annual Style Diva pageant in Mumbai on Sunday and it seemed like one big mad, stylish party!

For starters there was Neha Dhupia who looked a million bucks…

And Ayushman Khurana who totally nailed the bow-tie and jeans thing!

Huma Qureshi who rocked the magazine's cover a few months ago seemed rather pleased to be there too.

Neeta Lulla made her presence on the runway too.

And all of them, for some reason, seemed to have loved black! :-)

Ayushman broke into a song…

The ladies seemed to have loved it (as did the audience, we're given to believe).

And Ayushman was evidently having a blast, though we could not also take our eyes off that super-awkward pose that Neha has been caught in here.

Though we suppose it was better than being photographed like this… (though we're pretty sure it was just one of those oddly-timed picture).

But we digress…

Style Diva is all about young aspiring models… so here we have 'em:

And this one who loved her John Lennon glasses… in the confines of a large room… in the middle of the night.

And this one who made sure we saw her studded bangles alright! (Sponsors please note!)

This bevy of models we could not get our eyes off…

And these winners who struck a rather cute pose, don't you think?

That's (L-R) Monica Thomas (the first runner-up), Sidni Shankarwar (the winner) and Neelam Virwani (the second runner-up).
