Check out the offerings of designers Manav Gangwani, Meera & Muzaffar Ali and Suneet Varma on Day Two of Delhi Couture Week.

The second day of Delhi Couture Week on July 24 saw dare-to-bare designs from Manav Gangwani and Suneet Varma, along with the ethnic elegance of Meera & Muzaffar Ali in three separate showings.

We bring you some of the hottest creations that sizzled on the catwalk.

First up we have Manav Gangwani's line, which gave a whole new meaning to the word 'bold' -- don't believe us? Here's a completely sheer dress with only strategically placed glitter to preserve the model's modesty!

Next we have this unique creation, which moves from a structured, armour-like bodice to gigantic sunset ruffles. Someone page Lady Gaga quick -- she's definitely going to love it!

This sunny yellow sari moves into a Grecian-style fastened dupatta at the shoulder -- and the gold choli is super-sexy too.

The designer continues to experiment with opulent silhouettes like this layered, shining sparkler with elevated, exaggerated collar.

Gangwani continues to make statements with this ivory shimmering churidaar kameez -- we love the eyeball-grabbing ruffles around the neck!
