Rani Mukerji to Shilpa Shetty: Who wore what to Bollywood choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant’s birthday bash

Bollywood celebrities gathered for a glam night out as choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant hosted a birthday gala at her Mumbai home. Big names like Rani Mukerji and Karan Johar arrived in style to mark the special occasion, adding star power and sparkle to the evening. Vaibhavi Merchant recently received her second National Film Award for Best Choreography for the song Dhindora Baje Re. She received her first National Award in the same category for Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje in 1999.

Starting with the birthday girl, she looked every bit the star of the evening in a stunning blush-pink mini dress. The flowy fit-and-flare look featured a dreamy soft bodice and exuded a modern-princess feel that looked almost surreal. She completed the look with delicate diamond jewellery, including a sleek necklace, a pair of matching earrings, and a statement bracelet. Adding just the right amount of sparkle, she complemented the outfit with black high-heel pumps decorated with beautiful bows.

Rani Mukerji, who is best friends with Vaibhavi Merchant, was one of the first actors to grace the red carpet. She wore the Violetta Midi Dress by ERDEM from their Pre-Fall 2024 collection. The outfit featured an A-line, calf-length hemline with bold red floral patterns set against a midnight-hued base. The chic and dignified dress had a scooped neckline, cinched waistline, and fitted bodice, but the cost of this sophisticated ensemble may come as a surprise. It carried a hefty price tag of around Rs 1.38 lakh.

Shilpa Shetty brought her signature chic glamour to the party, wearing a lime green fitted midi dress. It featured a high neckline with full sleeves and soft gathering around the waistline. The effortless styling carried a rich, sophisticated glow. She completed the look with statement earrings, a pair of sleek stilettos, and a structured square-shaped glittery bag. With open locks and on-point makeup, she truly ruled the moment.

Karan Johar is known for his bling and quirky styling, but he opted for a subtle look for this red carpet appearance, making him one of the best-dressed of the evening. The director chose a robe-style velvet blazer paired with matching trousers, which looked clean and exuded an aura of finesse. He accentuated the look with a bold pendant, statement shoes, and his trademark glasses, which completed the ensemble.

Arjun Kapoor leaned towards a minimal route and kept a monochrome contemporary touch with a hint of relaxed sophistication. He wore a crisp black shirt with matching trousers and styled it with a sleek silver chain, polished dress shoes, and his signature tinted black glasses. This effortless contemporary red carpet look exuded a polished edge without trying too hard.
