An initiative taken by Virat Kohli and Sanjiv Goenka - Indian Sports Honours - to recognize and award the sportspersons from various fields was nothing less than a star-studded event. Not only did this gala affair witness the who’s who of cricket and other sports field, but it was a classic - when Bollywood meets Sports kinda scenario.
It was not just our B-town celebs that caught our attention on the red-carpet but the players did an amazing job, as well. The guys, whom we’re so used to seeing kick-butts on the field, clearly whooped some tush in the style department, on this glamorous night.
Be it everybody’s favourite couple, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma or India’s badminton and tennis champions - Saina Nehwal & Sania Mirza, these guys clearly don’t fail to sizzle, be it on or off the court.
Without further ado, here’s a round-up of our favorite stars, strutting on the red-carpet.
Anushka and Virat
One cannot talk about this list without mentioning this duo. The power-couple looked super chic and uh-dorable in their power-suits. Anushka stunned the entire country in a backless, red power-suit by Nikhil Thampi and accessories by Anmol jewelers. Styled by Allia Al Rufia, Anushka was the classic epitome of lady-in-red, whereas Virat looked nothing short of Prince Charming in a fitted suit.
The couple may not have confirmed their relationship status publicly, but that by no means has stopped them from frequently confessing their love for each other, in subtle ways.
"I've learnt a lot, become more sensible in the last 4 years all because of her. She's taught me how to be more patient and taught me how to utilize the position you are into the fullest," Kohli said on Breakfast with Champions.
Malaika Arora
The ever gorgeous, Malaika Arora, clean bowled the entire sports fraternity in a custom-made Monisha Jaisingh ensemble and Essence jewelry. Maneka Harisinghani’s on-point styling never fails to amaze us.
Siddharth Malhotra
The actor kept it chic and casual, pairing a teal green blazer with a casual skull printed tee.
Sophie Choudry
Amberen Yusuf did a commendable job while dolling up Sophie in a BCBGMAXAZRIA ensemble and Farah Ali Khan jewelry.
Plus, the Valentino clutch was to-die-for.
Zaheer Khan & Sagarika Hegde
The couple who’s all set to tie-the-knot by the year end looked like a match made in heaven, clad in a Lovedeep Gulyani and Rohit Bal.
Sania Mirza
It was a metallic kinda night for this tennis champion, who was styled by the style aficionado, herself - Ami Patel. Killing the night in a metallic suit from Topshop and Suhani Parekh jewellery, Sania slayed the night with her beautiful plus 1 - Farah Khan Kunder, spotted in a Manish Malhotra outfit.
Saina Nehwal
The golden girl!
Saina was a treat to our eyes in a Neta Lulla shimmery number.
Akshay Kumar
The ‘Khiladi’ actor looked his usual best, sporting a fitted suit and sneakers that we can’t get our eyes off!
