All the final contestants who walked the ramp were wearing collections by Chetan Veena Fashion Couture from Hyderabad and the evening gown collections designed by Aenna Sharma.
Barkha Nangia, Director Glamour Gurgaon, who conceptualized the event said: “This year saw unexpected circumstances that took the entire world by the storm. To contain the spread of Covid 19, we all were confined to our houses. This year has been a tough year for all of us and was a testing time for women. Despite all the odds, they stood high and handled all the aspects of their life. This pageant celebrates the essence of womanhood in the modern world and also pays the tribute to the women and all the frontline fighters of COVID 19.”
