Dressed in creations from his label, celebrities put their best fashion foot forward, turning the evening into quite the style spectacle. While some looks missed the mark, several others had us stopping mid-scroll and stealing the limelight for all the right reasons. From Janhvi Kapoor's feline-inspired glam to Ananya Panday's nostalgic Bollywood moment, here are the best-dressed celebrities from the night. Consider this the only fashion roundup you need!Janhvi’s feline momentWe have to start with Janhvi Kapoor, who brought some serious feline energy to the bash in a figure-hugging black-and-gold lehenga set. The look featured a fitted, square-neck blouse and a matching mermaid skirt, both covered in intricate gold sequin work arranged in striking animal-inspired patterns. A sheer black dupatta draped around her arms completed the look. Janhvi Kapoor at Manish Malhotra's Diwali bash.

Heavy bronzer, a hint of blush, nude lips and subtle smokey eyes, all tied together with a dewy finish, struck just the right balance. The makeup was kept relatively restrained, letting the bling-heavy ensemble have its moment without taking away from the overall look.Ananya recreates 'Say Shava Shava' lookAnanya Panday lived out every '90s kid's fashion dream as she arrived in an outfit inspired by Rani Mukerji's iconic sequinned 'Say Shava Shava' look from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. A nostalgic fashion moment, and one that instantly took us back to the Bollywood classic! Ananya Panday's 'Say Shava Shava' moment in a sparkly lehenga.

Ananya wore a soft ivory-pink lehenga set, completely swathed in sequins and paired with a delicate, sparkly waist chain and a sleek, understated dupatta.The result was a rather dreamy take on Rani Mukerji's iconic on-screen look.Suhana Khan's look reminded us of Isha Ambani Suhana Khan took a rather regal route as she arrived at Manish Malhotra’s bash in a multi-hued lehenga set. The ensemble featured a heavily embellished golden blouse paired with a voluminous skirt crafted using an assortment of colourful lace fabrics, lending the outfit a rich, layered appeal.

But hers was a long strapless dress featuring different border laces from all over India. Suhana’s outfit was a lehenga-choli version of it.Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's timeless red sareeActress and beauty queen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made a fashionably late entry to the bash with husband Abhishek Bachchan looking like a diva in an all-red saree.

Amid a sea of ivories, golds and pinks, she arrived in an impossible-to-ignore, bedazzling purple lehenga set. The sleek silhouette featured a bold cutout neckline blouse paired with a mermaid skirt, both adorned with sequins and intricate embellishments.

Bebo turned up in an all-sequinned silver saree, and it was every bit a hit. She has worn several variations of this six-yard wonder over the years, but this one had its own charm. Letting the sparkle do all the talking, she skipped heavy jewellery and makeup. All she needed was her innate glam, that blingy saree and a foolproof halter-neck blouse!
