Luscious Namitha hit the ramp for designer Sidney Sladen on December 16 at the Chennai International Fashion Week (CIFW) along with Bollywood hunk Neil Nitin Mukesh.

She was dressed in an animal print off-neck gown, as she sashayed down the ramp like a pro to the music of ‘Yeah' by Usher. Giving her company was Neil, who was especially in Chennai for the event, wearing a red coloured semi-formal jacket and flaunting his killer smile.

Says Neil, "Walking the ramp on the very first day of such a momentous occasion was a huge honour. Mark my word, the day I get married, it will be your Sidney who will do the job."

Namitha, talking about her experience at the CIFW, said, "I was nervous as hell and took a deep breath to calm myself down, before I walked the ramp. It was such a pleasure walking with Neil, I thought he would be a snob, but I was pleasantly surprised."

Also making an entrance in her trademark bubbly style, the effervescent Genelia D' Souza sashayed and shimmied down the ramp in a red velvet and lace number for designer Ishita Singh. "This is an extremely special and emotional moment for me because I started my film career in Chennai. I'm usually known as a tomboy, so this gorgeous feminine creation should shut every body up now" she said.
