Tamannaah Bhatia Opens Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 With Rahul Mishra's ‘Becoming Love'
The 18th edition of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 kicked off in New Delhi on July 23, setting the tone with an ethereal yet rooted showcase by Rahul Mishra. Taking centre stage was Tamannaah Bhatia, who delivered not just one but two striking fashion moments, marking an unforgettable start to the season.
Titled Becoming Love, Mishra's couture collection offered a soul-stirring interpretation of love through the lens of Sufi mysticism charting its emotional evolution from infatuation to transcendence. Drawing from the spiritual and symbolic, the designs incorporated divine imagery such as blooming lotuses, the celestial Raas Leela of Lord Krishna, and dreamlike representations of heavenly gardens. The collection, which followed his Paris Haute Couture Week presentation, was reshaped with the Indian audience in mind, steeped in cultural motifs and exquisite detailing.
Tamannaah's first appearance on the runway was like a page out of a fantasy novel. She glided in a hand-embroidered gown bursting with floral intricacy and luminous sequins that shifted subtly under the spotlight, a living metaphor for the merging of souls in love. Every step she took revealed a palette that changed with her movements, echoing the gentle unraveling of the self into the beloved.
Her second walk, however, grounded the dreamscape in sheer couture opulence. She reappeared in a dazzling lehenga drenched in ornate embroidery and star-like sequins. Though the silhouette paid homage to traditional forms, the styling felt utterly contemporary — polished yet bold, with Tamannaah adding her signature flair to the look.
While Rahul Mishra's garments were a conceptual journey through myth, cosmos, and emotion, it was Tamannaah who truly animated them. She didn't merely wear the couture; she became its living, breathing embodiment. If the opening night was anything to go by, the rest of Couture Week promises to be just as spellbinding.

Kajol Channels Tanuja On 50th Birthday, Greets Paps In Classic Black And White Saree
Kajol turned 50 on August 5 and looked like a spitting image of her mother Tanuja as she greeted paps in a white and black saree with a retro hairdo. Kajol turned 50 on Tuesday, August 5, and marked the milestone with grace, style and nostalgia. The actress stepped out of her Mumbai residence to greet the paparazzi waiting outside, and her look immediately caught attention. Draped in a classic white saree with a shimmering black border and a black blouse, Kajol bore a striking resemblance to her legendary mother, veteran actress Tanuja. Her look was completed with a retro middle-parted ponytail and minimal makeup, allowing her natural features to shine. She wore statement earrings and a ring, while keeping her accessories subtle. Kajol's warm smile and confident wave to the cameras made fans nostalgic for the golden era of cinema with many calling her a spitting image of Tanuja from her younger days. The visual homage to her mother didn't go unnoticed, and social media was quick to draw comparisons, with fans posting side-by-side images of Tanuja in her youth and Kajol's birthday look. Earlier in the day, Kajol's husband, actor Ajay Devgn, took to Instagram to post a birthday message filled with love and humour. Sharing two monochrome photos of Kajol — one from her youth and another recent click — Ajay wrote, 'Could say a lot but you would still roll your eyes. So… happy birthday, favourite Kajol." In February, Kajol had also shared a birthday post for Ajay, joking, 'All the cool people were born in August, but we don't mind wishing you a happy birthday 😉 …. thank u for always being older than me." Kajol and Ajay Devgn tied the knot in 1999 and are parents to two children – Nysa and Yug. On the work front, Kajol was last seen in the supernatural thriller Maa, while Ajay's latest release Son of Sardaar 2 hit theatres recently. Kajol's upcoming project Maharagni: Queen of Queens is also generating buzz. First Published: August 05, 2025, 22:33 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
