We love Sushmita Sen! We really do (Psst see this and this)! So you can imagine how thrilled we were to see her at the Blender's Pride Fashion Tour's Mumbai leg over the weekend!
Snapshots from a very, very glamorous evening:

Barring the stray appearances at fashion shows, we don't see Sushmita Sen very often in public.
Over the weekend, the movie star stepped out of the wings to show her support to designers Shivan and Narresh.

That's them, flanking the super tall model-turned-actress.

Their eponymous designer label happens to be the first high end beachwear brand in India.

And this time around, they got Sushmita Sen to endorse it!

The Shivan-Narresh luxury swimwear brand also, incidentally, happens to promote the sari! Yes a sari. In a beachwear line!
And though it isn't the first time they've showcased it -- see this and this -- we do quite like the idea of a pocket in a beach sari. Seems rather practical no?

So anyway, besides the beach sari and Sushmita Sen, there were some sizzling designs. Such as this cutaway monokini.

This hot skirt that set our hearts racing...

The classic bikini...

And of course the must-have piece of garment these days -- a crop top!

Since no beachwear line can ever be complete without a black bikini, there's this.

A sexy figure-hugging black dress that we couldn't get our eyes off...
