Sangeeta Bijlani and Zareen Khan look ethereal at Archana Kochhar’s fashion show

We almost forgot what a resplendent beauty Sangeeta Bijlani is! Just for a moment, maybe, her mesmerising ethnic look on the ramp took us back to her glorious ‘Tridev’ days. On the 15th year celebration of Fortis Hospital in Mumbai, designer Archana Kochhar unfurled her new bridal and couture collection with B-town lovelies Zareen Khan & Sangeeta Bijlani turning showstoppers for her fashion show. What’s endearing is the fact that this event was organised to raise funds for the hospital’s project AASHA, which will assist in conducting 100 free pediatric heart surgeries for underprivileged children. Doesn’t this noble cause make the show even more special?

It was great to see Zareen Khan making a public appearance after being missing from the Bollywood circuit for a while now. The pretty actress looked ethereal in a stunning blue lehenga with heavy gold gota detailing as she turned a muse for designer Archana Kochhar’s latest bridal collection. What we love is her cold shoulder blouse, deep red lips and intense kohled eyes that totally work for the ensemble. But we’re not too pleased with the overdose of all-blue accessories that included chunky earrings, bangles, a neckpiece and even blue nail paint and bindi.

We liked Sangeeta’s look a lot better as she stuns in a classy burgundy and red gown sari with gold work and ruffles at the bottom. The makeup and hair artist Vipul Bhagat has done a fab job and highlighted the actress’s sultry eyes and sharp features well. He opted for dark burgundy lips and kept her hair open with natural waves. Sangeeta accentuated the look with a delicate pair of diamond danglers and went the minimal accessories route (bang on).

Which look do you like more? Is it Zareen’s conventional bride avatar or Bijlani’s ‘East Meets West’ look?
