Sharon Stone, Hilary Swank at Ash's AmfAR gala

India's first ever amfAR gala, held in Mumbai on Sunday (November 17, 2013) and hosted by Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, was a glamorous and glittering affair attended by stars from Hollywood as well as Indian celebrities.

Hollywood actress Sharon Stone, who co-hosted the show with the Bachchans, was gorgeous in a single-shouldered black column dress. Ms Stone is the Global Fundraising chair for the annual gala.

Million Dollar Baby actress Hilary Swank, making her first visit to India, also wore black but a more modern version than Sharon Stone's classic take.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan arrived on husband Abhishek's arm. Predictably, Aishwarya chose a cream and gold outfit by go-to designers Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla.
