Shilpa Shetty - The Bride

If Anamika Khanna got Sonam Kapoor, Manav Gangwani, Karisma Kapoor and Ritu Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, then it was left to couturier Tarun Tahiliani to present the hot and sultry Shilpa Shetty as his showstopper at the HDIL India Couture Week at Grand Hyatt on Saturday.

Good thing Shilpa’s beau Raj Kundra was sitting among the front benchers along with sister Shamita, for Tarun dressed up Shilpa as a bride, and there must not have been a man there in the audience (single and married) who would not have wanted to tie the knot with the gorgeous actress.

She took the ramp with a confident stride, her head held high, wearing a coy smile along with a majestic red-gold brocade and zardozi lehenga studded with semi-precious stones. That, and the beautifully studded neckpiece, made Shilpa look every inch the breathtaking bride. Tarun’s collection of 77 garments opened to an over-packed show area. Describing the couture line, Shilpa gushed, “I loved the stuff and I felt like a runway bride.”  Source
