Evander Kane's fiancee Mara Teigen recalls nightmare last minute dress hunt at Leon Draisaitl wedding in France
Evander Kane's fiancee Mara Teigen recalls nightmare last minute dress hunt at Leon Draisaitl wedding in France (Image via Getty) Evander Kane's fiancee, Mara Teigen, had a big wardrobe problem on August 2, 2025. They were in Provence, France, for NHL star Leon Draisaitl's wedding at Domaine de Manville. Just hours before the welcome party, Teigen's clothes bag went missing when they landed in Marseille. Only her bag with shoes, pajamas, and toiletries arrived. That left her and Evander scrambling to find something to wear in a hurry. She called it a 'nightmare' and had to wear whatever was available. Mara Teigen recalls the wardrobe mishap in detail Mara Teigen said she had planned her outfits for their long Europe trip for months. She shared that they had stopped in Paris, Croatia, and Montenegro before heading to Provence. But when they arrived in Marseille just before the wedding, only one of her two bags landed. 'My bag wasn't there,' she said, very upset at how hard that felt. With no time to waste, Teigen and Evander Kane dashed to the closest outlet mall. She found a dress, but said it was 'nothing close' to what she had picked out . 'It was literally the only dress and I just had to wear it,' she explained. Teigen added, 'I'm just too independent and like my own stuff. So, it was a nightmare.' She held on to hope that her clothes would catch up soon, but they never did. Then, in a small boutique in a nearby French town, she found a beautiful Zimmerman dress that fit her and was fitting for a black-tie wedding. 'It happened to be my size. Happened to be beautiful,' she said, relieved at the happy ending.

This story comes just days after Evander Kane and Mara Teigen attended the wedding of Leon Draisaitl and Celeste Desjardins at the lovely Domaine de Manville in Les Baux-de-Provence, France.

‘I was better than Ranbir Kapoor': Muzammil Ibrahim on why he deserved 'Best Debut' award for his movie
Actor Muzammil Ibrahim , who debuted in Bollywood with the 2007 film Dhokha, recently spoke about the recognition he feels he was denied. The model-turned-actor stated that his performance in his first film warranted the Best Debut award , which instead went to Ranbir Kapoor for Saawariya, released the same year. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency In a conversation with Filmibeat Prime, Muzammil expressed that the industry has not treated him fairly. He believes that had a star kid performed similarly in a debut role, the outcome would have been very different. He added that he did not find Ranbir Kapoor's performance in Saawariya particularly exceptional and feels his own contribution deserved more acknowledgment. He said, "I don't remember Ranbir Kapoor acting that great in Saawariya. I know that I deserved the Best Debut award for my first film. I do feel that I have not gotten my due." Recognition and Industry Bias Muzammil admitted that while he is beginning to receive some recognition for his work, it is still not comparable to what he believes he earned. He emphasized that if he had been born into a film family, the attention and limelight following his debut would have been far greater. Reflecting on the early buzz surrounding him, he recalled that many considered him India's next potential superstar, although he clarified that he did not claim this title himself. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Remember Him?

He explained that producers have previously removed him from parallel lead roles to protect established stars' positions. This is not the first instance Muzammil has highlighted being sidelined. In an earlier interview with Siddharth Kannan, he revealed that director Ayan Mukerji had initially written a role for him in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, but it was eventually given to Aditya Roy Kapur. The actor's candid remarks shed light on the challenges faced by outsiders in Bollywood and the impact of industry dynamics on career opportunities.
