PIX: Esha, Hema, Shefali are catwalk queens!
We bring you a round-up of showings by Shyamal and Bhumika, Vizyon and more!
The second half of Day Three at Lakme has seen a few famous faces on the ramp, so love it or hate it, here come the celebrity showstoppers! And of course, we bring you the most eye-catching designs by Payal Kothari, Paromita Banerjee, Vizyon, Debarun and Shyamal and Bhumika.
We commence with the Vizyon 'Golden Age' collection by Shradha Murarka and Ninon Palisse, the inspiration for which was the beauty of Art Deco jewellery, architecture and the paintings of Tamara de Lempicka. Seen here is a red steeply incut red satin dress.
Grecian goddess
A flowing burgundy gown sports a Grecian silhouette and metallic detailing on one shoulder.
Deep purple
Softly draping, this plush purple jumpsuit is set off by a statement neckpiece.
Sunny entrance
Panels of bright yellow come together to create a plunging number with a hint of leg showing through.
Ancient glamour
Armour-like accoutrements add drama to this flowing empire-waisted gown.

Ethnic effervescence
Next up is Deepti Gujral, in this splendid gold and burgundy affair.
Regal ravisher

Golden girl
The eternal golden girl Hema Malini follows up her daughter's act with an even better one for Shyamal and Bhumika. Now that is timeless appeal!

The Call
Paromita Banerjee's garments, which are always promoting the beauty of Indian textiles were collectively titled 'Daak', which translates as 'The Call' in Bengali. Seen here is a white shirt and black skirt, over which is worn a sheer tunic.
Bead it right
Candice Pinto steps out in a relaxed tunic strung with beads across the front.
