Stars on the Delhi Couture Week runway

Bollywood actresses will walk the ramp for leading couturiers at the SynergyOne Delhi Couture Week (July 22 till 25, 2011)

In India, no one can skip noticing Bollywood stars. And with good reason: They look great, act and speak well and love to wear their fave designer's clothes (they charge for wearing them on ramp and often pick it free-of-cost for casual outings). That's also the reason why even Delhiites wait for this time of the year so they can get a sneak peek into how the actresses would look in couture designs in the capital city.

Sunil Sethi, President FDCI is hosting the entire 5 day show at the Taj Palace Hotel. "It's going to be uber grand," he promises.

STARS ON THE RUNWAY:
Actress Madhuri Dixit will come to India, take a break from doing dance shows on television and sit pretty in the Front-Row for designer Varun Bahl.
Karisma Kapur walked out the last minute. She was to walk for designer Anju Modi. That couturier's team is now looking at some big face, such as Rekha or Priyanka Chopra.
Daabangg girl Sonakshi Sinha will do the showstopping act for designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil.
Lara Dutta, Soha Ali Khan, Raveena Tandon and Dia Mirza will root for Manav Gangwani.
Zarine Khan is walking for Adarsh Gill.
Sharmila Tagore will be the showstopper for designers Ashima and Leena.
Designer Manish Malhotra show, which is eagerly awaited by Delhiites has no filmi showstoppers.

Girl with the blue scarf says: FRIENDLY GESTURE: Each of these actors charge nothing less than 10-15 lakhs to walk as a showstopper. The entire fashion show itself lasts only as long as 10-15 minutes. The ones who sit on the Front Row to cheer and pose for shutterbugs pick a cool outfit, often free-of-cost as a friendly gesture for the designer. Of course, they don't return these outfits.
