IIFA 2017 Green Carpet Highlights: Mira Rajput, Disha Patani look stunning while Sonakshi Sinha fails to impress

IIFA 2017 Green Carpet was one star-studded event. Here are all the highlights from the event. Know who wore what

The 18th edition of International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards has just begun in New York. And stars have started making their grand entry. After seeing the Bollywood celebs at the press conference, IIFA Stomp, Shuruaat Gala Dinner and IIFA Rocks green carpet, it’s time to watch out for the main event. As celebs are excited to see who gets what, we are eager to watch who wears what. While the first day was eventful and we saw some best and a few worst dressed celebs, the second day was quite experimental. Alia Bhatt was one of the prettiest one from the lot, while Katrina Kaif last night’s outfit was a bit disappointing. Before we see awards, let’s see who walks in their best on the Green Carpet.

Though this year we are going to miss Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone, filmmaker Karan Johar, Saif Ali Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Mira Rajput, Misha, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, and Salman Khan are all set with their performances at the star-studded event. Apart from these, this will be Varun Dhawan and Disha Patani’s debut at IIFA along with Sara Ali Khan and other star kids. Once again, television actor Arjun Bijlani will host the IIFA Green Carpet in New York. The actor was last seen in Star Plus show — Pardes Mein Hai Mera Dil and this will be his second time as the IIFA host. Stay with us for all the live actions from the IIFA 2017 Green Carpet:
