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.

Sarah Jessica Parker Bids Goodbye To Carrie Bradshaw: 'Been Frustrated And Rooted For Her'
Last Updated: Sarah Jessica Parker says an emotional goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw as And Just Like That wraps up with Season 3, calling it a 'joyous adventure.' Sarah Jessica Parker is officially bidding farewell to Carrie Bradshaw — the iconic character she embodied for nearly three decades. With HBO Max's And Just Like That concluding after its third season, Parker took to Instagram to reflect on her 27-year journey as the Sex and the City heroine and expressed heartfelt gratitude for the ride. 'Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all," Parker wrote in a deeply emotional post. 'I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and a lifetime of debt. To you all." View this post on Instagram A post shared by SJP (@sarahjessicaparker) Parker's co-star Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte York, also penned a touching note following the announcement. 'I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever," Davis wrote. The news of the show ending was confirmed just as Season 3 started airing. Showrunner Michael Patrick King explained that they had initially chosen to delay the announcement to preserve the audience's excitement. 'We didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season. It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years," he said. From chronicling the ups and downs of single life in Manhattan to evolving into a tale of middle-age and reinvention, Carrie Bradshaw has remained an enduring cultural icon. With And Just Like That offering a bittersweet close to the story, Parker's tribute reminds fans just how deeply intertwined her real-life journey has been with the fictional one.

Veronika Kudermetova says she told Holger Rune she's married after his message Veronika Kudermetova spoke at a podcast supported by another Russian tennis player, Elena Vesnina. Kudermetova noted in the episode that Holger Rune had sent her just now. The talk was short. 'Rune recently texted me,' Kudermetova said on the podcast, which was covered by the UK outlet Express. 'I told him, 'Boy, I'm probably too old for you. If you looked at my Instagram, you'd see I have a husband.'' After she replied, Rune quickly ended the chat. 'He replied, 'Oh, sorry.' Since then, he doesn't even say hello to me anymore,' Kudermetova added with a laugh. Beginning in 2017, Kudermetova has been married to her trainer, Sergey Demekhine. From Russia as well, Sergey Demekhine, 41, formerly a professional tennis player. Most recently at Wimbledon's Champions Dinner in July 2025, Kudermetova's Instagram often has the pair together.

The off-the-court drama was raised during Kudermetova's singles match on Thursday, July 31, 2025 with Coco Gauff.
