Celebrities stepped out in style for the 25th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards in Jaipur.

The green carpet was a display of bold and diverse fashion choices for the Digital Awards, with each star bringing their unique flair to the event.

Kareena Kapoor Khan dazzled in a corset saree that was a reimagined piece from Tarun Tahiliani's 17-year-old collection. The pre-draped satin-silk saree featured embellished golden borders, intricate zardozi work and shimmering sequins.

She paired it with a matching silk overlay, designed with embellished borders, an open front and a flowing train. Gold jewellery adorned with contrasting emerald gemstones completed the look.

The following night on Sunday, Kapoor Khan, who was one of the performers, walked the green carpet in a dramatic lavender gown by Lebanese designer Tony Ward. The strapless dress featured a corset bodice and pleated matching fabric around her waist that cascaded down into a train.

Katrina Kaif also wore a Tarun Tahiliani creation on Sunday. The actress's blush pink ensemble featured a corset blouse and lehenga skirt finished in colourful embroidered flowers, with gold sequins adding to the glamour. The look was finished off with a tulle train.

Fellow actress Kriti Sanon also exuded glamour on day one in a Mark Bumgarner outfit, featuring a seamless bodice, asymmetrical cutouts and a coiled fabric detail paired with a mermaid-silhouette skirt. She completed the look with a wet-hair style, minimal make-up and satin pumps.

Sanon, who won Best Actress for her role in the thriller Do Patti at the Digital Awards on Saturday, swapped her look for a more traditional one on Sunday. Wearing an all-white ensemble by designer Rajesh Pratap Singh, Sanon wore a simple white tunic over a bellowing sheer lehenga choli and accessorised with chunky jewellery by Amrapali Jewels.

Shahid Kapoor looked charming on the green carpet on Saturday in a tailored blue suit featuring a double-breasted blazer, matching tapered pants and a button-down shirt. He styled the look with tan Chelsea boots, a trimmed beard and swept-back hair, leaving the top buttons of his shirt open for a more casual look.

On Sunday, where he was one of the performers, he stuck with blue but made it traditional royal in a velvet sherwani by Falguni Shane Peacock.
