Evander Kane's fiancee Mara Teigen recalls nightmare last minute dress hunt at Leon Draisaitl wedding in France
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.

Mara Teigen explains the sad loss but hints at a silver lining
Even though the new dress worked, Mara Teigen was still sad that all the special outfits she had picked for months had stayed unseen. She said she would show them later in a try-on video because they 'deserve to be seen.'
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. The event was full of gorgeous flowers, fine French food, live music, and lovely views of the countryside.

This Malayali music producer's French song remix was streamed over 100 million times on Spotify
How does 23-year-old Sachin Sree Sabari, better known as Sachin SSS from Kerala's Palakkad district, connect to 'Dernière Danse' (French for Last Dance), the 2013 French track by Indila that has racked up over a billion YouTube views? The song, which became the first French-language music video to cross that milestone, is a favourite soundtrack for countless Joker tributes to DC's infamous anarchist. Also read: DJ SixEight on the viral 'Starboy' X 'Praayam nammil' mix : 'We have not used AI in the video' A few months after the song hit the billion-view mark, Sachin dropped a funk-infused remix and uploaded a tutorial to his channel in November 2023. 'Dernière Danse Funk' has since notched up over 100 million streams on Spotify — fuelled by Indian Instagram creators using it for transition videos that mimic the Joker's signature smirk. However, this recognition did not come easily for Sachin. 'I used to produce tracks and post tutorials during my college days at RLV College of Music and Fine Arts, Tripunithura. As soon as I posted a tutorial, I decided to take a short break from releasing music online, until one day, I saw a comment claiming that our track was the same as the one by a few foreign artists. This track was published after our video came out,' he says over a Zoom call. The track was released by artists ZODIVK, MC KRAKEN, and YXUNGXROTICA in February 2024. 'I was very upset when I learned about it. I contacted the artists and the streaming platforms, but they were not willing to help. Then, I shared my concerns, with proof on social media, which garnered response from a few artists,' says Sachin. The artist had created the groovy funk track in less than two hours. Sachin was directed to Navaneeth Krishnan, an artist manager. 'He reached out to the label that owns the track,' says Sachin. 'It took us six months to add Sachin's name to the track's credits. It was clear that those artists purchased the project files, which were meant for educational purposes,' says Navaneeth. 'I am very happy about the track crossing 100 million streams online,' says Sachin, who is a self-trained music producer. Sachin also gained the right to release a track, 'Dernière Danse Funk (Deluxe Version)', with a Malayalam verse, 'eth mood? pwoli mood!' (translation: How's the mood? Great!), a homage to his mother tongue. Sachin has worked with composer Christo Xavier in projects such as Turbo and Sookshmadarshini. Currently, he is working on Rahul Sadasivan's Diés Iraé and a few other movies. He is also working on a few tracks of his own.

Travis Hunter and wife Leanna Lenee welcomes new family member ahead of his rookie NFL season
Travis Hunter and wife Leanna Lenee welcome new family member (Image via IG) Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter is gearing up for one of the most anticipated debuts in recent NFL history, but before he takes the field this fall, he and his wife, Leanna Lenee, have made a personal addition to their household — and it's not a baby crib that's arriving, but a scratching post. A purr-fect addition to the Hunter household The couple recently adopted a kitten, documenting their search for the perfect pet on social media. The choice feels fitting for the Jaguars' two-way phenom, who will now share his home with a smaller member of the feline family — a symbolic nod to the big cats that inspire his team's name. Hunter and Lenee, who started dating in early 2022, were engaged in February 2024 and tied the knot this past May. Their relationship has been marked by grand gestures; Hunter has gifted his wife a Tesla Model X and a custom Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 BRABUS 800, while Lenee surprised him with a Ram truck for his 21st birthday. And while she might be a devoted Green Bay Packers fan, there's no doubt she'll be cheering for Jacksonville this season. Travis Hunter's on-field potential and the Jaguars' hopes for a turnaround Selected No. 2 overall in the April NFL Draft, Hunter arrives in Jacksonville after a standout college career under coach Deion Sanders at Colorado, where he thrived as both a wide receiver and cornerback. The Jaguars appear ready to lean on his offensive firepower, pairing him with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who is looking to rebound from an injury-plagued 2024 season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unfriendliest Countries in the World, Ranked BigGlobalTravel Undo Last year, Hunter showcased his versatility with 98 receptions, 1,258 receiving yards, and 15 touchdowns, while also contributing 11 passes defended and four interceptions on defense. Jacksonville, coming off two disappointing seasons with just 13 combined wins, is banking on his playmaking to reignite both sides of the ball.
