Red carpet round-up: ELLE Beauty Awards 2016

After months of prep and excitement, the ELLE Beauty Awards 2016 finally rolled out last night. We crowned the real superstars in the field of beauty along with a host of awesome people. Sayani Gupta slayed in a Gauri and Nainika number paired with the perfect dark lip. Pooja Hegde meanwhile opted for a baby-pink Shivan and Narresh dress and a messy top knot. However, it was her adorable ELLE ring from Valliyan that had all our attention.
