Khushi Kapoor Brings Power And Precision To The Ramp At India Couture Week 2025
Last Updated: Khushi Kapoor brought power and poise to the runway in a Rimzim Dadu ensemble that was inspired by the delicate links of traditional payals. Khushi Kapoor brought commanding elegance to the Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 runway, closing Rimzim Dadu's show in an ensemble that felt equal parts art, armour, and avant-garde couture. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FDCI (@fdciofficial) In a setting of earthen hues and modern installations, Khushi Kapoor emerged as a futuristic princess warrior, glowing with grit and grace. Her look, a sleek yet powerful interpretation of traditional Indian ornamentation, fused old-world craftsmanship with contemporary innovation. The sculpted halter top, moulded using Rimzim Dadu 's signature pre-oxidised metal technique, mimicked the ripple of molten fabric while offering the strength of sculptural steel. The detailing along the hem, inspired by the delicate links of traditional payals, added a layer of sensual geometry to the otherwise minimal silhouette. The long skirt featured a chainmail-like pattern, crafted to resemble burnished Banjara jewellery. Each metallic loop was aged to perfection, giving it a tactile, lived-in feel that spoke of history and heritage. This wasn't just embroidery; it was engineered couture. Taking over two months to construct, Khushi's ensemble was designed to embody raw elegance, every element meticulously shaped to evoke a sense of armour softened by ornament. Her styling amped up the narrative: bold emerald jewellery added colour contrast to the monochrome metalwork, while her softly tousled hair and smoky eyes kept the look contemporary and arresting. The collection itself was a celebration of contrasts – craftsmanship and modernity, delicacy and strength. Rimzim Dadu's 2025 couture line built upon her legacy of textile innovation, pushing boundaries with pre-oxidised metallic threads, structured silhouettes, and tactile surfaces. Inspired by weathered heirlooms and tribal adornments, the pieces leaned into oxidised textures, sculptural forms, and architectural finesse. From pleated metallic saris to experimental jackets and modular separates, every look was a modern heirloom – designed to empower, not just adorn. Khushi Kapoor's showstopper moment brought the house down, redefining what Indian couture can be: not just ornate and traditional, but sharp, storied, and utterly future-forward. tags : fashion FDCI India Couture Week India Couture Week khushi kapoor lifestyle Rimzim Dadu view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: July 30, 2025, 10:36 IST News lifestyle Khushi Kapoor Brings Power And Precision To The Ramp At India Couture Week 2025 Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Akshay Kumar Makes A Dazzling Comeback To The Runway In Royal White Sherwani
Akshay Kumar turned showstopper for Falguni Shane Peacock on Day 3 of the Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 in New Delhi. The third day of the 18th edition of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 saw Falguni Shane Peacock taking over the Taj Palace in New Delhi. The collection was all about royal opulence. Actor Akshay Kumar returned to the runway after more than a decade and turned showstopper for Falguni Shane Peacock. Akshay Kumar 's showstopping look featured a pristine white sherwani that was paired with matching white pants. In this striking look from Falguni Shane Peacock's Raj Mahal Bijoux collection, actor Akshay Kumar epitomises understated regality with a modern edge. The look featured a textured sherwani that blends classic tailoring with minimalist sophistication. The sherwani features a subtle woven pattern and is adorned with gold buttons. Falguni Shane Peacock's latest couture collection, Raj Mahal Bijoux, is a glittering tribute to India's regal past: a world where opulence reigned supreme, and every jewel told a story. Aptly titled 'The Palace of Jewels', the collection is a poetic exploration of the lavish lives of maharajas and maharanis, blending heritage with haute couture in the designers' signature grandiose style. Drawing from the architectural marvels of India's royal palaces, from the intricate stonework of Jaipur's City Palace to the magnificent marble peacock sculpture of Baroda's Laxmi Vilas Palace, the collection echoes the craftsmanship and artistry of a time when fashion was inextricably linked to grandeur. The garments breathe life into palace walls, frescoed ceilings, and lush gardens where exotic birds roamed freely—motifs reimagined in ornate embroidery, fluid drapes, and dramatic silhouettes. At the heart of Raj Mahal Bijoux lies the romance of handwoven sarees, sheer veils, and sculpted capes. The designers delve into the legacy of India's royal jewels: legendary emeralds, uncut diamonds, and heirloom treasures, to create embellishments that sparkle with history. Yet, the collection is far from being merely nostalgic. Each piece is designed for the modern-day maharani. Raj Mahal Bijoux is steeped in cultural reverence. It pays homage to the hands that continue to shape Indian couture: the artisans and weavers who translate centuries-old techniques into modern masterpieces. From detailed handwork and zardozi embroidery to layers of silk, tulle, and sequins that mimic the textures of royal court attire, every ensemble is a work of wearable art. tags : Akshay Kumar Falguni and Shane Peacock fashion FDCI India Couture Week India Couture Week lifestyle view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: July 26, 2025, 09:07 IST News lifestyle Akshay Kumar Makes A Dazzling Comeback To The Runway In Royal White Sherwani Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
