The Bollywood star who we wish hadn't played it safe with black-n-white, theu00a0TV host who limped into the show area on crutches, the preggers actress who teetered on stilletos, and a few new trends turned heads at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week.

Takeaway trend: The jumpsuit is hot this season

We've been seduced before, and yet we were beguiled by sisters Gauri & Nainika's collection. It was the first time that the Delhi duo were showcasing on Mumbai soil, but that didn't take away from audience anticipation.

The media was excited, and the models gung-ho at the thought of wearing classic, sexy western wear.

The show opened with a band of swelled soufflu00e9 silhouettes disciplined by unforgiving corset chests, as models sauntered to jazz music. The choice of music All that jazz from Hollywood musical Chicago, Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman's duet Something Stupid andu00a0 Frankie Valli's I can't take my eyes off you, caressed the senses, while the clothes kept the mood alive.u00a0u00a0

That inspiration was drawn from the Valentino's atelier was apparent, but no one complained since we believe it was an aesthetic homage.

The calm energy exuded by the large spiral rose perched on the bust of the opening garment worn by model Carol Gracias, and the tulip dress with an organza bow seemed like laborious works of art.

The short length of the garments facilitated skin show, a welcome change from last season when the sisters stuck to ankle length gowns. Their take on the garage guy's jumpsuits was stunning in red, cream and black with rosettes a must-have this season.

When Deepika smiled at Giselle
Actress Deepika Padukone's resolution to stick to non-colours (she prefers black-white and beige) was disappointing. We would have loved to see her in a smashing red jumpsuit. But it was heartwarming to see her flash a smile at Love Aaj Kal co-star Giselle Monterio, who arrived late for the show.
