Sabyasachi's Latest Bridal Collection Redefines Bridalwear Beyond Performance
Last Updated: In Sabyasachi's latest Heritage Bridal 2025-26 collection, maximalism and minimalism don't clash but they meet like memory and intention. In an era where bridal fashion often equates to spectacle, Sabyasachi Mukherjee has stepped back from the noise. His newly released Heritage Bridal 2025–26 – The New India and The New World collections don't shout. Instead, they whisper with conviction, craft, and clarity. Announced through a pared-back Instagram post, the message is unmistakable: this is bridalwear for the self-assured. No towering mathapattis, no excessive layering, no need for visual noise. These brides don't need 20 kilos of jewellery to say who they are. They already know. Elegance Without Excess Sabyasachi 's latest bridal collection focuses on intentionality – refined lehengas grounded in Indian textile heritage, styled minimally to let the embroidery and tailoring breathe. Sheer veils replace ornate dupattas. Jewellery is sparse, not because of restraint, but because each detail is deliberate. 'Lehengas, rich with craft, are paired with quiet dupattas so the embroidery can breathe," the designer shared. The collection is for the modern bride who knows what she wants. Sabyasachi adds, 'The styling is spare; jewellery edited; every detail essential. She chooses with discernment and wears heritage as presence, not performance." Sabyasachi's modern bride chooses discernment over display. She wears her heritage with quiet strength. Bridging Cultures, Not Compromising Identity The New World speaks to today's multicultural, cross-continental unions. 'As more Indian men and women find love across continents, cultures, and genders, I find myself drawn to the quiet transformations taking place inside weddings," Sabyasachi writes. These are not watered-down traditions. They are refined expressions of love, rooted in culture but shaped by modernity. Lighter fabrics, translucent dupattas, and simplified silhouettes become symbols of evolving identity, not erasure. In this world, maximalism and minimalism don't oppose each other. They coexist, like memory and intention. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sabyasachi (@sabyasachiofficial) Sabyasachi's bridalwear doesn't just evolve, it leads. These collections mark a shift in the way Indian brides (and grooms) are choosing to express themselves: with clarity, emotion, and grace. 'For heritage to be relevant, it must be dynamic," he reminds us. And in choosing substance over spectacle, his brides embody exactly that.

Gary Lineker claims BBC departure was ‘a case of quit or be quitted'
The former Match Of The Day presenter was asked if his departure from the corporation was 'of his own volition, or a case of quit or be quitted?' to which he replied 'the latter', during an interview with The New World, formerly known as The New European. The 64-year-old left the BBC early following a post about Zionism which featured a depiction of a rat, historically an antisemitic insult, which he apologised for, saying he stands 'against all forms of racism'. The presenter will no longer front BBC coverage of the 2026 World Cup or the FA Cup next season as had been intended, with his last episode of Match Of The Day coming on May 25. Speaking about his departure, Lineker said: 'That's what changed after that. I made a mistake and I immediately took it down and apologised, which I thought should have been enough.' He went on to say that he believed he had complied with the BBC's impartiality rules as he had looked at the war in Gaza 'without a vested interest'. Lineker added: 'I've got no skin in the game. I'm not Muslim, I'm not Palestinian, I'm not Israeli, I'm not Jewish. I come from a place of complete impartiality. And then it becomes about truth. 'People talked about me being antisemitic. I'm not anti-any group of people. Any race, any colour. But I am anti the killing of children.' The former England striker went on to say he did not blame director-general Tim Davie for his exit, adding: 'Tim Davie I know and I get on well with. I know how difficult it is for him with what's going on. 'Do I dislike people at the BBC? Not the people that I know.' At the time of Lineker's departure, Davie said in a statement that the pair 'agreed he will step back from further presenting after this season', after the former presenter 'acknowledged the mistake he made'. Davie added: 'Gary has been a defining voice in football coverage for the BBC for over two decades. His passion and knowledge have shaped our sports journalism and earned him the respect of sports fans across the UK and beyond. We want to thank him for the contribution he has made.' In his own statement, Lineker said that 'stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action'. The ex-Barcelona player went on to say in The New World interview that he has toned down his use of social media following the incident. He explained: 'Social media's changed a lot. People say to me 'when did you start having a view on things?', and I say 'well I've always had a view but social media gave me the platform'. 'Perhaps I wish it hadn't. I've come off X completely. I only use it to promote a podcast now. It's just become horrible. Nasty.' Lineker also runs Goalhanger Podcasts which produces podcasts such as The Rest Is Football, The Rest Is History, The Rest Is Politics, and The Rest Is Entertainment, and the Leicester-born star revealed in the interview that his company would soon produce a science podcast. The Rest Is Football podcast, which Lineker presents alongside former footballers Micah Richards and Alan Shearer, moved from the BBC to British internet sports streaming platform DAZN following Lineker's BBC exit. The BBC has been contacted for comment.

Gary Lineker reveals he WAS sacked by BBC in talks after antisemitism row
Gary Lineker left the BBC earlier this year after sharing an antisemetic post on his social media account and has now revealed that his early departure was enforced upon him Gary Lineker has confirmed that it was the BBC 's decision, rather than his own, for him to leave the corporation early after the Match of the Day presenter shared an antisemitic post on his social media. Lineker, 64, shared a pro-Palestine video which was accompanied by a rat emoji earlier this year. That led to an outpouring of anger and calls for the BBC to sack Lineker instead of allowing the former England striker to see out the remainder of his contract. It was announced in May that Lineker would leave the BBC at the end of the 2024-25 season, with the popular presenter stating that "stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action." But in a new interview with The New World, Lineker has revealed what really happened prior to his exit. When he was asked if leaving was his choice or a case of 'quit or be quitted', he replied: 'The latter.' Reflecting on the incident, he said: 'I missed it [the rat emoji]. To be honest, I wouldn't have understood the connotations anyway until it was pointed out to me. I genuinely didn't see it. I'm not an idiot. I may not have known it was an antisemitic trope, but I would have wondered why someone had put a rat there. Why would you ever conflate a rodent with a human? 'I wouldn't do that on purpose – it would be the biggest act of self-harm ever. But, yeah, it was a tough couple of days.' Lineker, who was due to front the BBC's coverage of the FA Cup in the new season and the 2026 World Cup, swiftly removed the post and issued a public apology. That wasn't enough, though, and the decision was made for Lineker to leave the corporation early rather than continue appearing in the 2025-26 season. In a statement released at the time, Lineker apologised again, saying: ' Football has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember – both on the pitch and in the studio. 'I care deeply about the game, and about the work I've done with the BBC over many years. As I've said, I would never consciously repost anything antisemitic – it goes against everything I stand for. 'However, I recognise the error and upset that I caused, and reiterate how sorry I am. Stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action.'
