Shriya Saran is the queen in power!

Last updated on: March 18, 2016 15:21 IST

Bollywood actor Shriya Saran ruled the ramp at Amazon India Fashion Week Fall 2016.

Lights. Camera. Drama!

Designers Kanika Saluja and Samant Chauhan took the runway by storm on Day 2 at AIFW Fall 2016.

Label Anaikka by Kanika Saluja celebrated the essence of Victorian fashion through her 'Lock, Stitch & Twist' collection. Symbolising power and strength, the collection amalgamated the old with new. This season, her label also debuted in the menswear segment.

Samant Chauhan's 'The Silk Route' collection was contemporary and fierce. While he gave us an insight into the Nepalese culture at AIFW Autumn/Winter 2015, this year he chose to work on intricate Rajput designs.

But it was Bollywood beauty Shriya Saran dressed like a goth goddess who caught our attention.

Take a look!

Sonalika Sahay

Image: What a stupendous display of the 19th century -- a model in a blood red gown with embroidered winged pattern neckline.

Rikee Chatterjee

Image: And this winged arm design on a black leotard was simply stunning. We only wonder how Rikee Chatterjee effortlessly sashayed down the ramp with blindfolded.

Image: Which one would you pick -- a classic suit or a bandhgala with a pair of jodhpurs?
