PIX: Bollywood hotties go the nude route

Nude is the new black in Bollywood!

With more and more actresses opting for nude shades in outfits, the global trend has filtered down to the desi tinseltown.

We bring here the hottest appearances made by filmi ladies wearing their nude dresses in all shapes, sizes and designer labels.

Malaika Arora Khan

Malaika Arora Khan is anything but subtle.

Known to flaunt her best assets with the most dramatic of cuts and daring silhouettes, the voluptuous Munni set hearts racing in this total filmi Monisha Jaisingh lacy dress at this year's IIFA awards in Toronto.

Bipasha Basu works hard in the gym and would rather have the results show!

Never mind the faux pas when Ameesha Patel turned up at IIFA in an identical dress, Bipasha or more precisely, her legs stole the show at the green carpet.

Mallika Sherawat brought her A game to the Toronto film festival in this dangerously-cut nude gown as she attended the premiere of her first international project -- Jackie Chan-starrer The Myth.

The actress might have had just a miniscule role in the film but she's become quite a fixture on international red carpets.

Mommy-to-be Lara Dutta is a certified scorcher.

At this year's IIFA awards, the actress wore a Gustavo Cadile gown with a serious plunging neckline.

At the unveiling of her new film Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu's trailer, Kareena Kapoor cut a striking picture in this georgette floral dress.

A most appropriate dress for a day event!

Freida Pinto wore a gorgeous grecian-inspired gown for her film Immortals' premiere last month.

She must have the best stylist in the world!

Mrs Anurag Kashyap walked the Blender's pride fashion show earlier this year in this devilish Gavin Miguel gown.

Talk about dreams and fairies! 

Sonam Kapoor wore this stunning Roberto Cavalli dress to one of the designer's parties at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

The young actress's wardrobe at the film fest was a major draw with desi designers.

Neha Dhupia smouldered on the cover of Grazia magazine in a cute ruched dress in a nude shade and ruffled sandals.

Minssha Lamba may not have had registered her presence at the Cannes Film Festival but her nude Gauri & Nainika gown received a thumbs up from Indian fashion pundits.

Genelia D-Souza flashes her smile in a nude mini dress.

While the look is a little monotonous, her effervescence makes up for the lack of drama in the outfit.
