PIX: Bips, Soha, Angela are all glitter gals!

Here's a first look at the best catwalk moments from Day One of India International Jewellery Week.

The second edition of the India International Jewellery Week got off to a great start on July 31 in Mumbai.

High-end jewellers put up dazzling displays of diamonds, gold and gems with several celebrities and well-known models taking to the ramp. Take a look.

The renowned Gitanjali Group kicked things off officially, with a star (and bling!) studded showing from their label Giantti.

Gitanjali tied up with the Beti campaign against female foeticide, so a lot of mother-daughter duos took to the ramp to pledge their support.

But first, flying solo we have the lovely Sonam Kapoor draped in a simple powder-blue sari and strings of pearls. Classic!

Glam in green

Riya Sen was also minus mother Moon Moon but managed to look as alluring as ever in a green sari and precious necklace.

Mom and me

Bipasha Basu looked ravishing in peach and a diamond necklace, stepping out in style alongside her mother -- so that's where she gets her youthful skin from!

Designs on you

Designer Neeta Lulla accompanied her daughter Nishka -- while the senior designer opted for all-black, the younger one shone in a colourful ghagra choli.

Daddy duty

Actor Rohit Roy (in a dapper suit and aviators) and his daughter made for a cute sight on the catwalk.

Models in the making

These four little girls were simply adorable, enjoying their moment in the spotlight.

Thrice as nice

Actress Madhoo was a vision in this grey-silver gown and strutted out holding hands with her daughters.

Matching in yellow

Actress-singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and daughter Kaveri Kapur matched up perfectly in sunny yellow.

Swishing in

Proving moms can still look sexy in a poncho dress was actress Deepshikha, accompanied by her young one.

Bevy of beautiful women

Soha Ali Khan also made an entrance in a glittering lehenga and earrings. She is seen here posing alongside Mrs Basu, Riya Sen and Bipasha at the close of the Gitanjali collection.

All-white

The next show was by Eekani Jewels, the brand of designer duo Khyati Dani and Tarun Jethanandani, who displayed all their pieces against white outfits, such as you see here.

Strike a pose

Model Deepti Gujral poses in a necklace of red gem and diamond strands with matching earrings.

Making a statement

Wearing a jewelled headband, bracelet, cocktail ring and chandelier earrings, Surelee Joseph is the epitome of elegance.

Passion for pearls

B-Town starlet Nargis Farai, drizzled in pearls, was the Eekani showstopper.

Teamwork

Nargis poses with the Eekani Jewels team at the close of their collection.

Mad about mauve

Model Sanea Sheikh was one of the first catwalk queens showcasing the work of jewellery designer Monica Kapur -- she is seen here in a mauve gown with a matching earring-necklace set.

White vision

Nethra Raghuraman looks like an Indian empress in her maang tikka and necklace, set off by a white corset-lehenga.

Delicate danglers

Kapur offers up this pair of delicate danglers and matching pearl-gold necklace next.

Mermaid mesmeriser

A one-sided floor-sweeper and tasteful accessories make for a pretty picture.

Sheer beauty

Anjali Lavania shows off her figure in a sheer gown and another set of glittering jewellery.

Cocktail chic

Who says you can't rock a cocktail with the right pieces? We love this green mult-strand set.

Something for the men

TV actor Manish Goyal was the showstopper for Monica, wearing a collar clip.

Sparkling all over

Model Angela Jonsson stunned on the ramp for Gehna Jewellers, owned by the Datwanis -- she wore an eye-popping necklace, tiara, earrings, cuff, ring...the list is endless!

Bridal blush

And finally, here is Geeta Basra for Sangam Chains, looking very bridal in her red lehenga and heavyduty gold!
