Filmfare Has a Party: Priyanka, Alia, Tabu, Dia

The pre-show party for the Filmfare Awards saw a red carpet crowded with some of Bollywood's biggest stars. Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Dia Mirza, Tabu and other celebrities sashayed past popping flashbulbs in Mumbai on January 22.

Now that's an ensemble that takes serious fashion chutzpah. Priyanka Chopra twirled for photographers in an Elena Perseil hoodie-dress that would have looked dreadful on anyone else. We're not sure she get away with it entirely.

This Student has definitely graduated. Alia Bhatt ditched her cute look for a sultrier one in a white Temperley London vest-suit worn with a sleek bun and red lips. About her new look Alia said, "You have to sometimes spice it up a bit. But I'm not leaving behind the cuteness."

Actress Tabu looked sensual in a black gown. She opted for a no accessory look and let her hair fall straight. 10 on 10.

Actress Dia Mirza walked the red carpet in an embellished black dress with her husband, Sahil Sangha. She wore her hair up and accessorised her outfit with a glittering purse and matching black pumps.

Actress Amrita Rao dazzled in a Leger body-con dress. Side swept hair and red lips upped her look.

Richa Chadda took the traditional route in an Akanksha Gajria sari. Don't miss the Judith Leiber cupcake clutch.

Gauahar Khan, who made headlines last year after she was slapped by a man in public, teamed a faux-leather studded tan skirt with a black cropped jacket-top.

Fugly actress Kiara Advani looked spunky in a formal silk suit. Brownie points for the Leiber Chihuahua clutch.

Actress Rhea Chakraborty looked sassy in a printed maxi by Deme. Side-swept hair and a shell-studded clutch finished out her look.

Singer Sona Mohapatra wore a rather puzzling black outfit.

Bollywood's young brigade - Saquib Salim, Amit Sadh, Mohit Marwah, Jackky Bhagnani and Tahir Raj Bhasin.
