It's official! We're wearing jeans to weddings now
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 lehenga.Could 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 festivities.Jeans 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.

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 maximalism.Falguni 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.

Drake and Bobbi Althoff fallout explained as the duo rekindles their friendship two years after dating rumours and podcast drama
Drake and Bobbi Althoff's relationship started with major internet attention when the rapper appeared on The Really Good Podcast in July 2023. The awkward, dry-toned banter between them went viral almost instantly, helping Bobbi skyrocket from a niche TikToker to one of the most talked-about podcast hosts online. For many, it was the first time seeing the Hotline Bling appear in such a stripped-down, casual setting and it worked. Why did Bobbi Althoff delete her Drake podcast episode? But just as fans were rewatching clips on loop, the full video mysteriously vanished. Bobbi deleted the Drake episode only a month after it aired, and no real explanation was given. That decision quickly fuelled speculation online, with many assuming some kind of behind-the-scenes drama had gone down between the two. Theories about a fallout started circulating on social media, made worse when Bobbi was reportedly kicked out of Drake's SXSW afterparty for showing up without an invite. The duo also ended up unfollowing each other on social media, sparking further speculations. Bobbi Althoff & Drake unfollowed each other on instagram and she seems to have deleted any content from her Drake interview on socials. 🤔 When Bobbi sparked Drake dating rumours after divorce filing The timeline only got messier. In February 2024, Bobbi Althoff filed for divorce from her husband, Cory, with whom she shares two daughters, while also revealing that they had separated in July 2023. That's the exact same month her interview with Drake dropped, leading fans to connect dots that may or may not be real. Romance rumours flooded TikTok and Reddit, but Bobbi was quick to shut them down. She even posted a private DM exchange with Barstool's Dave Portnoy, writing, 'I did not want to do this podcast in the first place, and now so much negativity is coming from it.' Bobbi Althoff shuts down Drake romance speculation—sort of Despite the rumours, both Bobbi and Drake stayed publicly silent about each other for months. The only hint of closure came during a January 2024 interview with Keke Palmer, where Bobbi briefly addressed her experience with the rapper. 'He's a very nice person,' she said, offering neither confirmation nor denial, just a neutral statement that didn't add much to the mystery. Drake tells Bobbi to 'unblock' him in surprise Instagram comment Then came a surprising twist. Recently, Bobbi shared a screenshot of a comment Drake left on one of her Instagram posts: 'UNBLOCK MY NAME FROM YOUR COMMENTS.' Her dry response? 'I'll consider it.' While no one knows why his name was blocked to begin with, the interaction was enough to get fans speculating all over again. It's unclear if the comment was serious or playful, but it was the first public acknowledgement between the two in years, suggesting maybe their alleged beef is cooling off. Who is Bobbi Althoff? Bobbi Althoff is a social media personality and podcast host best known for her deadpan interview style and rapid rise to fame. Originally gaining popularity on TikTok for her satirical 'mom content,' she pivoted into podcasting in 2023 and quickly went viral thanks to interviews with celebrities like Drake, Lil Yachty, and Offset. Her show, The Really Good Podcast, has since become one of the internet's most discussed platforms for awkward celebrity interactions.

Your comments are proof why Renukaswamy's family needs justice: Ramya slams Darshan fans
Actress Ramya is once again facing a wave of online trolling for speaking out in support of Renukaswamy's family — the victim in the ongoing murder case linked to actor Darshan . Last week, the Supreme Court strongly criticised the Karnataka High Court's decision to grant bail to Darshan, questioning the rationale behind the order and suggesting it nearly amounted to an acquittal. Sharing a screenshot of this development, Ramya took to Instagram to demand justice for Renukaswamy's death, and wrote: 'SC is a ray of hope for the common people of India- justice for the family of Renukaswamy.' However, her post did not sit well with Darshan's fanbase, many of whom flooded her comments section with abusive and hateful messages. Unfazed, Ramya responded with a sharply worded Instagram Story that read: 'To all the DBoss fans — Welcome to my Instagram :) Your comments are proof why Renukaswamy's family needs justice!' This isn't the first time Ramya has been targeted. Last year, shortly after Darshan's arrest, she had posted, 'No one is above the law. No one should take the law into their hands.' That too had triggered a wave of trolling from his supporters. Meanwhile, Darshan — currently out on bail — has been on a temple run, recently spotted visiting multiple temples across Karnataka. He had also traveled to Thailand last week to shoot portions of his upcoming film Devil, and returned to Bengaluru two days ago. Ramya and Darshan have shared the screen in two Kannada films — Datta and Snehana Preethina.

IND vs ENG 4th Test: 'Ben Stokes behaved like a spoiled kid' - Ex-India cricketer
Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has lambasted England captain for his conduct after he called for a draw before the final hour in Manchester. "Ben Stokes behaved like a spoiled kid," Sanjay Manjrekar said on JioHotstar. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Former England cricketer Jonathan Trott, however, defended Ben Stokes. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "Common practice in England, and Ben Stokes' mentality is that there are no personal milestones. If you get offered to end game earlier, it's taken," Trott said. Manjrekar was quick to correct Trott and said: "Trott comes from a different culture. Whole world doesn't play as per English way of cricket." Jadeja and Washington were batting on 89 and 80 respectively before the start of the last hour of play when England skipper Ben Stokes, aware that a result was out of reach, offered to shake hands. However, with milestones around the corner, the Indian batters refused, which didn't amuse Stokes, who then introduced Brook into the attack to bowl some deliberate full-tosses, allowing both to complete their well-deserved tons. "I didn't have a problem with it. England seemed to have a problem with it. They were a bit tired, tired bowlers so they wanted to get off but two lads worked hard to get to 80s and 90s and they wanted to get Test match hundreds," Hussain said on 'Sky Sports'. "Stokes didn't have to bowl Brook and look silly at the end. We make far too much of these things. They played well and all credit to India," Hussain said. When Cheteshwar Pujara asked the same question to Washington Sundar, he sidestepped the issue. "I think everyone saw on TV what happened and they all must have enjoyed it," Washington said on JioHotstar.
