Kangana Ranut, Sonam Kapoor and Rani Mukerji were among the many stars who walked the red carpet at the GQ Men of the Year Awards here are some sartorial hits and misses.

 

We start out with the curvy Neha Dhupia who nailed the red carpet look with her choice of outfit! 'Nuff said. You may now drool!

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut or a lifelike wax statue of hers (we aren't sure which is which here) made a shocking entry promising to burn everything in the line of her vision.

Sonam Kapoor

We've been tad exhausted by Sonam Kapoor's incessant attempts at showing how fashion conscious she is. So when she turned up in this Jean Paul Gaultier number, we couldn't help break into an evil smirk.

What she's wearing is probably worth the GDP of an African nation but did she carry it off the way she was hoping to? We aren't quite sure. You tell us!

Meanwhile here's a quick look at all the sartorial hits and misses at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in Mumbai.

The bowtie was on prominent display and model Keith Sequeira and Vir Das carried it off rather well while yesteryear model Bikram Saluja seemed to have risen up from the dead in this rather intriguing maroon jacket.

And while we couldn't help but give her clutch (?) bag (?) toolbox (?) two thumbs up, Poorna Jagannathan seemed like she could have done with some sleep.

Shruti Hassan

Pictures like this one make us wonder why we don't see more of Shruti Hassan. Heck we'd even tolerate a bad film if she looked like this for the duration.

Director Abhishek Kapoor looked like he could've done with a few sartorial lessons from girlfriend Pragya Yadav. We wouldn't be surprised if that jacket was thrust upon him by the good folks at GQ to maintain the decorum of the evening. Sigh!

Arjun Khanna seemed like he'd only just stepped off a yacht while Narendra Kumar put up a rather impressive show. What we couldn't help wondering though was if designer Nandita Mahtani was following in on Victoria Beckham's footsteps. No really, when was the last time you saw her smile in a photograph?
