Bollywood and fashion came together at IIFA Rocks on the eve of International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards in the island city of Macau on Friday with an ode to villains and vamps and 100 years of Indian cinema.
The fashion show was presented by designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil.
Dark and heavy colours ruled the catwalk with anarkali suits and dresses high on the waves and drapes, while the designers added bling to their collection by pairing golden borders and bases with the dresses. While the woman represented Bollywood vamps with their dark and mysterious looks, the men also flaunted heavier and darker emotions by donning fitted trousers and coats.
However, it was Neil Nitin Mukesh, the show stopper, who took the limelight with dark brown suit with broad-ended trousers.
Bollywood made its presence felt by some splendid performances by Arjun Kapoor, Sonu Sood, Arijit Singh and Dia Mirza among others.
The ceremony also witnessed the distribution of IIFA technical awards, where director Anurag Basu’s Barfi! led the race.
Among the other attractions was actors Vir Das and Boman Irani tickling the audience’s funny bone as they promoted their upcoming film “Santa Banta”.
IIFA rocks is a run-up to the main IIFA Awards on Saturday night, which recognises the best of Bollywood. It is held in a different country every year.
