The former US Secretary of State ditched her pantsuits for lovely ethnic separates.

Hillary Clinton, who is in India, attended the India Today Conclave dressed in easy separates from designer Payal Khandwala's Autumn/Winter pret collection.

It was a pleasant surprise to see Hillary ditch her favourite pantsuits for an ethnic linen asymmetrical kurta by the Indian designer.

She paired the kurta with brown pants and completed the look with a chunky necklace.

Kareena kept it classy and chic in an ivory tailored Prabal Gurung power suit with ruffled sleeves and bootleg pants.

Karisma chose a gorgeous black and white dress from Sachin and Babi's collection.
