Padukone, 23, was the show-stopper twice -- for designers Ranna Gill and Rina Dhaka -- on day four of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in New Delhi.

The actress dazzled audiences in a multi-hued full-length gown and a short brown-and-white dress on a day when ballroom gowns and cocktail dresses ruled the ramp.

"It's great to be back with the people I started off with and to know that they feel the same way for me," Padukone told reporters after the show.

"Its really nice to come back to where I started off from."

Brown and black dresses dominated Dhaka's autumn/winter designs while Gill featured dark brown, green and blue gowns and mini-jackets in her collection.

Earlier on Saturday, designer Renu Tandon draped nine career women from different fields -- including actress Chitrangada Singh -- in black and grey balloon dresses and golden sarees.
