If it's in Mumbai, the stars will come. After showcases in Delhi in March, Lakme Fashion Week returned to the home of Bollywood for its latest season. And there were plenty of A-listers on and off the runway.

Shows began at the Jio World Convention Centre on Tuesday, opening with designer Anamika Khanna and her label AK-OK, which had actors Anil Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Angad Bedi and singer Armaan Malik in attendance.

Known for blending Indian textiles with western silhouettes, Khanna's collection consisted of white cottons, prints in silk and plenty of shiboris, which is a style of fabric dyeing.

Mrunal Thakur, known for her roles in Bollywood films Super 30 and Batla House, was the showstopper for Mishru, a label known for its bridalwear as well as Indian fusion ready-to-wear.

Actress Diana Penty, who's no stranger to the runway, was the star of designer Pallavi Mohan's show while Kriti Sanon walked the ramp for designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil.

Former model Malaika Arora was also on the runway for the label Limerick and singer Kanika Kapoor showed her support for designer Swatti Kapoor.
