Faring well at Filmfare ’16

It’s finally that time of the year again! Filmfare Awards, to date, preserve the reputation of being one of the most venerated ceremonies in Bollywood tinsel town. Apart from exalting exceptional actors and commercially efficacious films, the ceremonial continually plays host to B-town’s most exquisite beauties. Here’s a rundown of the red carpet looks that lured us this year at the ceremony held on January 15 at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium in Mumbai.

Huma Qureshi



Undoubtedly, it was Huma’s night. The Dedh Ishqiya actor, who is recurrently slammed for her red carpet style just hushed all her detractors. Enterprising a classy avatar, Huma wore a distinctive fish-tail gown by Mayyur R Girotra. The black and beige number comprised elaborate gold fabrication on the tail and hugged the star in all the apt places. Polishing up, the Badlapur hottie coupled her one-sided off-shoulder outfit with a chunky statement-making bracelet and gold ring.



Parineeti Chopra



It’s official — the most striking comeback of the year has been locked. From the sultry gown, slicked back mane, and a fitter, enviable bod, Parineeti hit the bull’s eye. Draped in a Shivan and Narresh outfit that boasted cut-out details and a sensual thigh-high slit, the Kill Dil cutie sure slayed spectator hearts. Adding edge to her urbane demeanour, the starlet modelled gladiator sandals, a funky box clutch and nominal make-up that emphasised her striking doe eyes.



Jacqueline Fernandez



The Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan babe has surpassed herself — yet again. As expected, she led the diva roll call at the A-list affair, exhibiting the precise amount of her awe-inducing fit frame. Wreathed in an ultra-sheer, lacy, net-detailed black gown by Hussein Bazaars, Jackie was anything but limited on glamour and corporeal appeal. Sweeping her lustrous locks on one side and acing the nimble side part, the Kick charmer left us wanting more ladies rocking the mesh fabric. Sigh!
