Last night in Mumbai, a stellar group of Bollywood stars came together on one stage to officially announce the IIFA 2014 Awards that will be held in Tampa Bay in Florida later this year.

Bipasha Basu, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan promised their fans in the USA a fabulous show with lots of song, dance and entertainment.

This year, actors Shahid Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar will host the awards ceremony. But in a departure from the previous seasons, there won’t be the pre awards IIFA Rocks fashion show. Instead, we hear there will be a deejay night.

See what the hot ladies wore to the launch announcement:

Compared to the dazzling dress by Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna which she wore for the launch of an ice cream brand in Mumbai a few days ago, Kareena Kapoor Khan decided to opt for a played-down look for this event.

She wore a tie-dyed khameez by Anand Kabra, with colourful buttons on the shoulder and thick floral cuffs. Comfortable pajamas and statement gold jewelry by Maheep Kapoor completed her simplistic look.

Bipasha opted for a Bollywood favourite – Manish Malhotra! She wore an emerald green blouse and a bright yellow saree with gold detailing on the borders.

Her hair was styled into a bun and she wore a triple strand necklace of pearls and beads. But is it just us or do you also get an “old” vibe from this look? We’d rather see it on a Helen or an a Waheeda Rehman instead of on a Bipasha.

Earlier today we had told you about this look which Madhuri Dixit sported at another event which happened prior to this one. The printed dress is by Pankaj & Nidhi.
