First Look: Aishwarya Rai on the ramp after 15 yrs

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walked for fashion designer Manish Malhotra on the first day of the HDIL India Couture Week 2010 in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Dressed in a traditional ivory-coloured lehnga and a sexy backless corset, Rai looked stunning as ever.

This is the first time that Aishwarya Rai has walked for any designer in the last 15 years.

Manish Malhotra whose last few shows have not had any Bollywood showstoppers pulled this one off to everyone's pleasant surprise.

"Aishwarya has that timeless beauty about her but yet she is contemporary and pretty," the designer said.

Emerald was the primary colour of Malhotra's collection at the Couture Week.

Though going by Aishwarya's picture here, we'd assume ivory looks just fine as well.
