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.
