fbb Colors Femina Miss India 2017 West Zone Finale

Hello beautiful,

Has it ever happened to you that something you always dreamt about as a kid came true one day? How did that feel? Attending fbb Colors Femina Miss India 2017 West Zone Finale felt exactly the same to me. fbb gave me this golden opportunity to cover the zonal finale exclusively as a blogger. I feel so glad that fbb gave me this chance to witness this grand crowning event for the states of Goa, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. 12 gorgeous girls selected from the local auditions that took place in the fbb outlets of their respective states contested for the west zone finale. After screening them in three rounds of ramp walk, cocktail, question and answer, top three finalists were selected. These three from every state flew down to Pune at Hyatt Regency and were groomed for the finale. There were ten sub contests in all that were conducted a day prior to the final event. The winners for fbb Colors Femina Miss India West 2017 sub contests are as follows:

On the day of the event that was held in Hyatt Regency, Pune and hosted by Sachin Kumbhar and Gaelyn Mendonca an esteemed panel of judges was appointed. Adinath Kothare, Srinidhi Shetty, Vijendra Singh, Waluscha D' Souza and Swapnil Shinde did the job of judging and selecting the best beauty from every state. Shibani Kashyap and Gauhar Khan with Salman made the night memorable one with their performances. This time too, there were three rounds but unlike the auditions these were more ramp walk based ones. The first one being 'Modern India' round, all the contestants looked beautiful in indo-western attires designed by designers Alpa & Reena. The scintillating attires made the girls look all the girls look so damn glamorous that it seemed impossible to figure who will make it to the top three. Dressed in sarees, lehengas and dhotis but with a twist, every contestant looked worthy to be crowned that night. 

The next round was the most awaited one as it was from the title sponsor of Miss India 2017 i.e. fbb! The girls looked everything from chic to sassy in Rehan Shah's creations. The designs were a mix of edgy black party outfits to summer fresh floral chic casuals. Their make-up for the black outfits was bold and for the chic ones was peachy with a lot of blush. Hair was done to perfection with gorgeous curls. I must say that this round was the best and it brought the style to the entire event which otherwise would not have been the case without fbb in the picture. It was my personal favourite because it was fashion which you and I could wear and look our bests just as the contestants did. They carried it so well and made me fall in love with the outfits.

The third round was of evening gowns designed by designer Nivedita Saboo. Now, this was the round which had the kind of dresses that looked right out of a queen's wardrobe. Stunning is what the girls looked in them. These gowns were also the ones in which four beauties, one from every state were crowned as winners. 

I got the opportunity to ask each of the winner how did it all feel like and here's what they had to say:

Interestingly they all have names beginning with 'A'. They truly deserved an A grade for their efforts and made the best contestants for the crown that night. I wore two outfits, one was a boho blue dress from fbb that was my OOTD and other was a mesh white top with silver metallic skirt that was my OOTN.

I enjoyed that day so much that I vlogged about it. Stay tuned till it goes live on my YouTube channel very soon!
