Actress Sonakshi Sinha walked the ramp for ace designer Manish Malhotra as he opened the Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014 in Mumbai.

Manish Malhotra specialises in making women look ethereal.

And that’s just what he did at the Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014 in Mumbai.

Sonakshi Sinha looked alluring in a sheer black kurta that nearly kissed the floor.

Eye-popping white embroidery lends relief to the outfit’s dark hue and simple, graceful lines.

Manish opened the Fashion Week with a 60 ensemble collection called 'A Summer Affair.'

The asymmetrical design of the this outfit is intended to surprise -- what looks like a flowing kurta from behind blends seamlessly into a cropped navel-revealing top.

The slim pants are a nifty touch.

A breezy, peachy, delicately embroidered maxi gets a defiant slash that reveal slim white pants.

Slightly old-style, but the use of the nude-coloured background allows the embroidery to stand out in its full glory.

Manish again seems to be stepping back into a older, more conservative world as he attempts to cover every inch of skin in this rather boring creation.

No wonder, the model seems so upset!

Mix and match?

White embroidery, dark background, slight design variation and confusing addition of slim pants… did two outfits get accidentally get mixed up here?
