IIFA Awards 2018: Iulia Vantur, Urvashi Rautela, veteran Rekha shine with their sartorial picks

The 19th edition of International Indian Film Academy is being hosted Bangkok over the weekend. The avant-garde witnessed a mixed bag of dance, music, glitz and glamour, put forth by the who's who of Bollywood including stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Shraddha Kapoor, Nushrat Bharucha and Kartik Aaryan amongst others.

The three-day gala was a testimony to the presence of some of Hindi filmdom's iconic stars and new actors on the red carpet, in the audience and on stage. However, the evergreen Rekha will be performing live after 20 years and her stage act is clearly a highlight at the awards night, hosted by Riteish Deshmukh and Karan Johar.

Breaking into the big league of musicians this time was Romanian beauty Iulia Vantur. The actress glorified the carpet in a Monisha Jaisingh creation.

Urvashi Rautela served up a rightful dose of love and elegance in a white and gold number!
