It is that time of the year again when Bollywood’s biggest and brightest stars assemble under one roof for the biggest awards show, the 64th Vimal Elaichi Filmfare Awards 2019 that recognises and honours the best talents in show business. With the red carpet rolled out and the spotlights turned up bright, we are all set to see our favourite stars put their fashion foot forward as they strut down the carpet in and make a fashion statement or two.

The big night in Bollywood will be hosted by none other than the Baadshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, who will be joined by a host of celebs like Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Janhvi Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Rajkummar Rao and more, all set to put up some top-notch performances through the awards night.

64th Vimal Elaichi Filmfare Awards 2019 Best Actor nominee, Ranveer Singh came dressed to take home the black lady in a Versace gold hibiscus silk blazer and pulled the printer ensemble off with ease. Among the early arrivals of the night, the star topped his new look (for the ‘83’ biopic) off with a spiked hairdo and moustache as he posed on the red carpet. Ranveer is nominated in two categories - Best Actor In A Leading Role (Male) – Popular and Critics’ Award For Best Actor (Male), for his role as Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus ‘Padmaavat’.

Alia Bhatt, nominated in two categories- Best Actor In A Leading Role (Female) and Critics’ Award For Best Actor (Female) for her stellar performance in the spy drama‘Raazi’, will hope to add another Filmfare trophy to her collection with another win tonight. Shining bright like a true star, the actress made heads turn in a stunning sheer gown with shimmery detailing.

The men arriving on the 64th Vimal Elaichi Filmfare Awards 2019 red carpet are certainly giving the girls a run for their money! Best Actor In A Leading Role (Male) and Critics’ Award For Best Actor (Male) nominee, Ranbir Kapoor was one of the late arrivals at the award show. His fashionable look for the night proved to be worth the wait as he turned up looking dapper in a blue three-piece-suit that he topped off with a bowtie. The actor has been one of the favourites to take home the top prize for his performance in the Sanjay Dutt biopic, ‘Sanju’.

This may have been Sara Ali Khan’s debut on the 64th Vimal Elaichi Filmfare Awards 2019 red carpet, but the beauty nailed her appearance like a pro. Ditching the flashy gowns, Sara was a vision to behold as she opted for a regal and elegant shimmery lehenga choli with a sheer dupatta and hair worn in soft waves. The actress made her debut last year with two back-to-back hits with ‘Kedarnath’ and ‘Simmba’.

Rajkummar, who rocked the stage early this evening with Shah Rukh Khan, took a walk down the red carpet in a glittery black suit that he topped off with a statement bowtie. Ayushmann also earned some major fashion points of his own by sporting a bright red dinner jacket with a bowtie.

Vicky Kaushal and Gajraj Rao may be battling it out for the Best Actor In A Supporting Role (Male) at the 64th Vimal Elaichi Filmfare Awards 2019, but on the red carpet, the two nominees had only love for each other.
