There was Abhay Deol dressed in sepia-toned, jet-set aviator shades near the bar and hard-to-miss Sayani Gupta scaling the three-floor party area in a sequinned, blood-red ensemble with a male friend - in that order.

Designer Narendra Kumar wore a baseball cap, jewellery designer Shaheen Abbas came with husband Roshan and designer Surily Goel with socialite pal Haseena Jethmalani and actor Preity G Zinta. Both channelled their inner Goth fairy princesses, with Jethmalani in a deceptively simple jumpsuit until she turned and you spot a fallen angel wings harness. Zinta wore a black lace dress. Add to that list a dozen dazzling catwalk ladies, and a bunch of cool, creative musicians and artists, and you've just started on the starry guest-list.
