PIX: Sonakshi, Sonam, Arjun at their stylish best!

Presenting high-end fashion and starry showstoppers from designers on days three and four of Delhi Couture Week!

The third and fourth days of Delhi Couture Week saw the handiwork of celebrated Indian designers such as Shantanu & Nikhil, Manish Malhotra and Rohit Bal take to the ramp in a flurry of stylish showings.

And of course, the celebrity quotient elevated profiles considerably!

Here, we bring you the most lensworthy catwalk moments.

We start off with the talent of Adarsh Gill, captured in an orange draped full-length number modelled by Bhawna Sharma.

Silky blue

Next we have this slinky two-tone blue gown with a crystal-embellished bodice.

Silvery stunner

The designer ups the ante with this beautiful scallop-edged silver lace sari.

Bridal belle

This heavily-worked red bridal showstopper is the ideal finale to Gill's showing. Which bride wouldn't feel like a princess in that!

Demure fashion

Designer duo Ashima-Leena started off with this eye-catching silk salwar kameez.

Winning combination

The jacket-sari combo is really trending and the contrasting tones here set off the outfit.

Altar-bound

Pia Trivedi plays the demure to-be bride in this attractive lehenga.

Royalt presence on the ramp

Yesteryears actress and Begum of Pataudi Sharmila Tagore was as graceful as ever, bringing a regal presence to the ramp and setting off her ethnic number becomingly.

Earthy elegance

Talented twosome Shantanu & Nikhil didn't disappoint -- their flamboyant flair was at its best with designs such as this yellow-brown ghagara choli.

Pale passions

Michelle Innes looked lovely in this powder-blue lehenga with floral embroidery.

Sunny strut

Pleats, layers and plenty of tulle came together perfectly to make this dramatic statement.

Fiery hue

For the bold fashionista, this bold orange ensemble with sparkling silver embroidery is just the thing.

Wonderful in white

Shantanu and Nikhil's creamy showstopping creation was carried off perfectly by Sonakshi Sinha, who seems to be in love with the catwalk!

Classic drape

His distinct designs can be identified from a mile away, but we're glad we got to see Manish Malhotra's stunners, like this classic sari, up close.

Gargantuan but gorgeous

Surelee Joseph did justice to this rich mix of fabric, colour and tasteful embroidery.

Drop-dead red

The sight of Sanea Shaikh twirling in this fantabulous ensemble is enough to have anyone stop in their tracks!

Ivory delight

The designer pales his palette with this ethereal creamy lehenga and sexy choli.

Fitting in fabulously

Look closer. With her stauesque frame and sharp features, she's such a dead-ringer for a professional model that you may almost miss Sonam Kapoor while taking in that fantastic showstopping design!

Making an impression

Gaurav Gupta sought to mesmerise with a burst of creativity and he didn't disappoint -- check out this silver-kissed lace bodysuit.

Haze of pink

It's not often that you see a lehenga completely devoid of any embellishment, but this one worn by Candice Pinto has a striking effect all the same.

Innovative twist

What you're seeing here is actually a skirt that moves into sari-like pleats at the bottom, while the see-through choli is toned down with part of the dupatta strategically stitched on!

Lime look

Gupta switches to a bolder hue with this voluminous lime number adorned with ruffles on one shoulder.

Fishtail fantasy

And here we have a yellow red-carpet special with fishtail silhouette -- like the rest of the designer's collection, it blends Eastern and Western influences.

Burnished bombshell

Rohit Bal's line kicked off with drama straight away -- we love this burnished gold and white plunging gown.

String it along

This daring blouse is nothing more than strings of gold coming together in a barely-there pattern! The floral skirt, on the other hand, shows off abundant threadwork.

Cutwork couture

Another heavily worked floor-sweeper is set off with a sheer cutwork top. How amazing does it look!

Extravagant entry

Things only seem to get more opulent with this jaw-dropping outfit modelled by Tinu Verghese.

Say it with...

Golden letters etched on a shirt, if Bal has anything to do with it! Arjun Rampal seems to be enjoying the moment.
