It's official! We're wearing jeans to weddings now
Falguni Shane Peacock introduce jeans to the bridal runway!
Maximalist in appearance but high on practical wearability - no crippling discomfort. An approach Gen-Z and younger millennials are obsessed with. Probably why nearly every phone in the front row went up to record 'the look'.In an exclusive conversation with India Today, designer Shane Peacock shared that the reason behind bringing jeans to a bridal show was to try something different, keeping Gen-Zs in mind. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sandip Das (@sandipphotographer)The designer said he wouldn't be surprised if brides choose to get married in jeans someday. BTW, some brides are already embracing denim in their own way. In 2023, one even took her vows in a denim lehenga.Could jeans become a wedding trousseau staple, thanks to their comfort and unapologetically individualistic appeal? We can't say a definite no. After all, brides have been increasingly experimenting with unconventional silhouettes like pantsuits and jumpsuits for their wedding festivities.Jeans aside, the real scene-stealer was showstopper Akshay Kumar - not in jeans, and definitely not with Twinkle Khanna unzipping them for him mid-ramp, like that unforgettable moment years ago. The superstar returned to the runway after more than a decade.

A known early-to-bed loyalist, Akshay ditched his famed sleep schedule for the show, bringing his signature energy to the runway in an embellished ivory sherwani - a timeless ensemble that could easily double as a modern groom's uniform. His sparkling silver juttis, however, added a touch of FSP's signature maximalism.Falguni and Shane drew inspiration from the grandeur of Indian royalty for their new collection 'Raj Mahal Bijoux' and rendered it in their couture pieces. An eclectic mix of Swarovski crystals, emeralds, and rhinestones adorned the ensembles; elaborate veils, cape-like drapes, and saree-inspired silhouettes took center stage. The show setup, too, transported the audience to a grand garden party, with marble peacocks - reminiscent of Baroda's Laxmi Vilas Palace - festooning the hall.
Sarees with dupattas to continue being in vogue.
While brides frolicked in sparkling silhouettes with a colour palette ranging from soft pastels to intense blacks and blues, FSP's menswear collection also stood out for its bold tryst with bling. This collection didn't just showcase sherwanis swathed in ornate embellishments at the front, but fully drenched in crystalline glam at the back too.
