The creme de la creme of Bollywood put their most fashionable foot forward for the beginning of the IIFA Awards. Ahead of the ceremony, a green carpet was held in Abu Dhabi (where the awards are taking place). Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan led the celeb roll call. Ananya Panday was among the early guests on the green carpet. She showed up in a white outfit. The Student Of The Year 2 star wore a shimmery white saree, designed by Manish Malhotra. Just like Ananya, Sara Ali Khan too opted for a white outfit, a short anarkali and palazzos by Faraz Manan. Kriti Sanon was a ray of sunshine in a yellow and gold number. Lara Dutta was a vision in purple and Nargis Fakhri matched the green carpet (well, almost).
