Bollywood's HOTTEST stage performances? VOTE!

There are song sequences in films and then there are live performances.

It's a fascinating sight when film stars descend on a stage with a flourish -- sometimes theatrics, fireworks are involved -- to thundering applause and distant cries of fans pledging life-long allegiance.

At the recently held South Filmfare awards, actress Shruti Haasan held court (or stage, if you will) in a striking outfit and entertained the crowd with her dancing skills.

Here, we look at Bollywood's other onstage charmers and their most striking outfits from the recent past!

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actress Deepika Padukone rocks out in a leather outfit and black aviators at the recently held India International Film Academy awards in Macau.

With chart-toppers like Balam pichkari and Dilli wali girlfriend from her latest hit film, expect fireworks from this stunner.

Race 2 hottie Jacqueline Fernandez makes for an arresting sight in her showgirl outfit and stance.

An asymmetrical hemline, the eye-popping blue and dramatic headgear make it a standout look.

Himmatwala actress Tamannaah, performing at the CineMaa awards, emerged in a rather bizarre outfit, her florals and pearls in place.

Working her charm at the CineMaa awards in 2012 was Midnight's Children actress Shriya Saran, dressed in a sheer outfit and jewels.

The actress showed off her toned midriff.

Kareena Kapoor works her charm at the People's Choice Awards, held in November last year.

The actress delivered a standout performance on her Dabangg 2 hit number Fevicol se in a flattering black outfit with gold embellishments and sheer detail.

Another star performer at IIFA 2013, starlet Sophie Choudry is all about tassles and that extra bit of glitter in her Beyonce-esque outfit.

Choudry will soon be seen in a small yet pivotal role in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara!

Madhuri Dixit doesn't  need flashy outfits for she has her famous smile to do the job.

The 46-year-old stunner put up an electrifying performance at the IIFA awards in her blue and yellow 'news-breaking' ghagra.

Often accused of being an insipid dresser, Katrina Kaif makes up for her lack of will to experiment with a reasonable amount of skin show.

For her TOIFA awards performance, the actress dressed up in a sequinned top and tassles.

Priyanka Chopra flaunts her latkas and jhatkas at a Filmfare awards show in an orange lehenga. 

Bipasha Basu is all toned abs and fierceness at an IIFA awards in 2011.

Her neon blue bikini top and denim shorts scream for some much deserved attention.

The first TOIFA (TOI film awards) held in Vancouver, British Columbia, earlier this year marked Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's return to the awards night stage.

But the actress-mum decided to sport her trusty and rather overwhelming anarkali, rendering her stage appearance rather forgettable.
