Is Priyanka Chopra seriously reconsidering her Bollywood career? From the looks of Lakme Fashion Week, a modelling job seems to be pretty appealing, considering she's appeared on two designer catwalks. She showed up at Vikram Phadnis's final day show in a white number that seemed destined for Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.

Chopra's not the only one with fashion on her mind, as a day of uninspired design — the Indian press had praise only for Anju Sharma's knot collection — was enlived by some star power. Cricketer Shreesanth pulled on a shiny black suit for Phadnis, while Shriya Saran went red for the same designer. Choreographer Shiamak not only danced, but sang on Phadnis's runway.

Meanwhile, Celina Jaitley and Madhu Sapre stole the shows for Babita Malkani and Prriya and Chintan respectively.
