With a bang! Washboard abs open India Fashion Week

Shilpa Shetty walked the runway for Tarun Tahiliani. And we melted in our seats!

Master couturier Tarun Tahiliani opened the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WLIFW)'s Autumn Winter 2014 edition with a bang.

Tahiliani's collection was everything you would expect it to be -- glamorous, colourful and exactly what you'd be seen in on your wedding day.

Shilpa Shetty was supposed to be just one of the three showstoppers for the designer but the stylish actress-turned-producer clearly stole the show.

Actors Harman Baweja and Ayesha Khanna also walked the ramp for Tahiliani and were here to promote their upcoming movie Dishkiyaoon with Shetty, their producer.

Harman who looked as dashing as only a Hrithik Roshan lookalike would, walked confidently in sharp black jacket (that he mysteriously chose to button down to the last one) and a pair of jodhpurs.

Also looking fabulous in an all-black ensemble was Ayesha Khanna, who looked tad nervous, though managed to pull it off rather well after all.

The collection featured spectacular outfits with necklines so ornamental they seemed to render a jeweller useless.

Tahiliani's collection was jewel-inspired and also featured prominent empire-line silhouettes such as this one as well as Swarovski elements in multi-colour hues.
