The theme for this year's ball is pink, as it draws inspiration from the colours and light of India. The event also saw a slew of celebrities in attendance. From Naomi Campbell, Edward Enninful to Al-Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani, many important names were present at the event.

Another reason why the Pink Ball remained in headlines was the fashion looks of celebrities from world over. Both Nita and Isha made many heads turn with their fashionable looks. Isha chose to wear an ensemble by designer Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. It featured floral motifs in embroidery. The flattering fit of her attire and the emerald jewellery that she decided to pair it with, both of it made sure she got a thumbs up from everyone.

On the other hand, Nita's vintage, handwoven Kanjivaram saree in pink looked beautiful on her. Her off shoulder blouse and the intricate work on her pallu made from pure silver won many hearts.
