It's official! We're wearing jeans to weddings now

If the idea of 'why can't I just wear jeans' and attend a wedding has ever crossed your mind, celebrated fashion designer duo Falguni Shane Peacock just showed how you can actually execute couple couturiers, known for their extravagant high-on-bling fashion creations often decked with feathers and fringes, put forth a regal showcase on Day 3 of the ongoing Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 in association with Reliance Brands, an initiative of a stream of sparkling lehengas, figure-hugging gowns, sherwanis, bejewelled sehras and reimagined sarees, a model took over the runway in a pair of blue jeans. Not a basic pair, but an elevated version boasting a fringe-heavy hem. A stylish white shirt layered with a bedazzling long black jacket and an unmissable blingtastic brooch lent the ensemble a wedding-ready makeover. 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 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 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. Akshay Kumar turns showstopper for Falguni Shane Peacock in ivory silk sherwani. Don't miss the blingy juttis. 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 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.

A heavy use of metal stood out as well.

US Woman Charges Husband Rs 1,167 Daily For His Lunch, Sparks Debate On Social Media

Last Updated: Charging for homemade lunch, a US woman reignites debate on valuing time, effort, and unpaid domestic work A woman in the US. has sparked a social media debate after revealing that she charges her husband Rs 1,167 (about USD 14) every day to pack his lunch for work. The woman, known as Ray, is a mother of two and a content creator on TikTok. In a now-viral video, she explains that while she enjoys cooking for her husband, she believes her time and effort deserve compensation, especially when he would otherwise spend the same amount buying food from places like McDonald's or Greggs. 'If he can pay a stranger for lunch outside, why not pay me, the one who puts in real effort and love into making it?" she says in the video. Ray insists that this arrangement keeps both of them happy; he gets a fresh, homemade meal, and she gets fairly compensated for her work. She adds that preparing lunch daily involves time, hard work, and creativity, especially when she tries to make it new and delicious every day. Being paid for it, she says, feels fair. Ray shared a video of herself making a salad for her husband, which has now been viewed over 200,000 times on TikTok. While some users supported her approach, others questioned the idea of charging money within a marriage. 'Isn't this turning a relationship into a business transaction?" one user asked, arguing that the idea of saving money by bringing lunch from home becomes meaningless if you're paying for it anyway. Still, many others praised Ray. Some even called the setup empowering, saying it acknowledges the unpaid labour women often do at home. One user commented, 'This isn't bad, she's valuing her time. I might start charging my husband, too!" The video has reignited conversations around unpaid domestic work, especially in marriages, and whether it deserves financial recognition. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
