It was a star-studded night filled with glitz and glamour at the Elle Awards 2026. Who's who from the industry, be it fashion influencers, TV celebs, or music icons, attended the glam night, putting their best fashion foot forward.
From Tamannaah Bhatia to Bigg Boss 19 winner Gaurav Khanna, along with his wife, Akanksha Chamola, Abhishek, Avneet Kaur, and singer Shaan with his son, among others, attended the bash.
Most of the celebs amped up the glam quotient; however, many were slammed for their ill-fitted and overly body-hugging silhouette outfits.
Let's decode the worst-dressed celebs of the night
Gaurav Khanna and his wife, Akanksha, twinned in shades of black. Gaurav looked dapper in a black suit and was seen lovingly posing with Akanksha.
Akanksha wore a black mini outfit. The plunging neckline caught all the attention. She opted for a black full-length stocking, exuding old-world classic charm.
Several photos and videos of Akanksha and Gaurav have gone viral. In these videos, she is seen hugging BB 19 fame Abhishek Bajaj and also posing with her husband, Gaurav.
However, netizens slammed Akanksha for her bold outfit. Many called out her sense of dressing and dubbed it as vulgar.
Prateik Smita Patil and Priya Banerjee Patil
Hosts Prateik Smita Patil and Priya Banerjee Patil looked elegant in black and white ensembles. Priya opted for a white see-through outfit, while Prateik wore a black tuxedo.
Tamannaah Bhatia
Tamannaah Bhatia's jaw-dropping look exuded gothic glamour vibes. The silhouette was a structured, midi-length bodycon dress that emphasised her hourglass figure.
The bodice featured built-in underwire cups with visible vertical black lines. The dress had a nude-coloured base overlaid with intricate black floral lace. Keeping up with the naked dress illusion trend, Tamannaah's couture was sophisticated yet sultry.
Adding high-fashion drama, the outfit featured a long black tulle or silk organza train attached at the back, which she was seen holding to showcase its volume.
Netizens had mixed reactions to her outfit. While she paired it with high heels, many noticed her expressions and felt she looked very uncomfortable while walking and carrying the outfit.
Avneet Kaur
Avneet Kaur opted for a two-piece bodysuit-skirt combo in a soft bubblegum pink.
The bodice featured a one-shoulder, semi-sheer top with a high-cut hip cutout. A thick braided pink rope cinched her waist and trailed down to the floor, mimicking a long sculptural tassel and adding oomph to her waistline. She paired it with a matching high-waist mini skirt.
She was the perfect example of Gen-Z red-carpet fashion. However, fans felt that her tight, body-hugging outfit made her look indecent. Many pointed out that the thin material appeared almost see-through, which did not go down well with a section of netizens. Several advised that she could have dressed more decently, stating that her assets were bulging out of the outfit.
If female celebs glammed up for the event, Men's fashion was also on point. Here's looking at male celebs who aced the game.
