Bollywood royalty Kareena Kapoor Khan channelled vintage glamour in a pre-draped maroon sari designed by Tarun Tahiliani.

Completing her regal appearance, she wore gold and emerald jewellery, a sleek bun, and striking makeup that accentuated her features.
Shahid Kapoor exuded charisma in a tailored blue suit featuring a double-breasted blazer, tapered trousers, and a button-down shirt. Adding his signature flair, he left a few buttons undone and styled the look with tan Chelsea boots, a trimmed beard, and a swept-back hairstyle.
Nushrratt Bharuccha turned heads in an exquisite strapless ivory gown. The standout feature? A dramatic floral attachment on the front, paired with a sculpted bodice and flowing skirt. Keeping it chic, she styled her hair in a sleek center-parted bun and opted for minimal yet striking makeup.
Known for her bold fashion choices, Uorfi Javed brought her signature experimental style to IIFA in a glittering black mini-length outfit. The ensemble featured sequin embellishments and a cape-like attachment, giving it a futuristic edge. She accessorised with silver earcuffs, rings, embellished heels, and a sleek bun.
