Next up is this outfit by Masaba Gupta who made her couture week debut as the fashion director of Satya Paul. The designer used the floral motif differently, opting rather to go with its X-ray effect.

Much of Gupta's colour scheme was derived from her own collection featured at the Lakme Fashion Week in March this year.
