A BIG ticket fashion week got off to an oh-so-glamorous start on Tuesday evening with Shilpa Shetty and Sushmita Sen turning showstoppers for two young designers.

Shilpa walked the ramp in a figure flattering cut-out gown with a dupatta draped over it while Sush stunned us in a sheer black striped gown with puffed flare details at the waist as she glided down the runway with oomph.

`At the end of the day, I think, being a woman is about being comfortable in your skin, being powerful in your expression, and I could not have had a more powerful showstopper than the one I had tonight because all of those logistics put together, sexy is what sexy does,` said a glowing Sushmita.
