The last day of Amazon India Couture Week saw two shows from designers Manav Gangvani and Manish Malhotra. This year marks Malhotra's 25th year in fashion and the designer celebrated the milestone moment with an extravagant grand finale. Here's everything you need to know from day five of Couture Week:
1. Star power: Kangana Ranaut was the show stopper for Manav Gangwani while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan closed Manish Malhotra's grand finale.

3. New turf: Malhotra announced the launch of his store in London and a second one Dubai later this year.
4. The Setup: Manav Gangawani's runway made for a lengthy ramp—one that ensured every audience member got a close look at the garment detailing.
