After powering South Africa Champions to a commanding nine-wicket win over Pakistan Champions in the final of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025, de Villiers took part in a hilarious post-match moment that showcased his lighter side. With the trophy secured and fans on their feet, Wayne Parnell led the celebrations by recreating the now-viral "aura farming" dance, a meme-worthy social media trend. To everyone's delight, AB de Villiers joined in, performing the move with a cheeky grin, giving cricket lovers a moment to remember. Watch: — ABDszn17 (@ABDszn17) But the real aura was in his bat. De Villiers, battling a hamstring issue, played through visible discomfort to score a flawless 120* off just 60 deliveries. His knock included 12 4s and 7 6s, bringing up his century in just 47 balls. Supported by JP Duminy's 50*, South Africa chased down 196 with 19 balls to spare, maintaining their unbeaten streak in the tournament.

Gen Z In India Leading the Luxury Market Boom: Affording Premium Experiences With Credit
New Delhi: Gen Z in India is rapidly changing the way luxury is consumed—making high-end goods and experiences more accessible than ever before. This shift is driven by rising incomes, digital credit options, and a strong desire for unique experiences and stylish brands. Gen Z's Growing Financial Power Spending Muscle: In 2024–25, Gen Z alone accounted for about 43 percent of India's total consumer spending, with their direct expenditures reaching around $250 billion a year. Their influence is reshaping retail and luxury markets across the country. Rising Incomes: The steady rise in disposable incomes among India's young urbanites is fueling this trend. By 2027, India is projected to have 100 million affluent individuals, many from Gen Z and millennials, driving demand for premium goods. The Luxury Market Boom Luxury Market Value: India's luxury market hit $17.67 billion in 2024 and is projected to surpass $85 billion by 2030, growing at about 3.17 percent annually. Affordable Luxury: 'Affordable luxury' products—premium brands within reach—are booming. Urban Gen Z and their peers in smaller towns are key drivers, as platforms like Tata Cliq Luxury, Nykaa, and Ajio Luxe expand high-end product access beyond the metros. Digital Credit Tools Make It Happen EMI and BNPL: Easy access to Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) and Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) has made it possible for young shoppers to own expensive gadgets, take luxury holidays, buy designer clothes, and invest in wellness experiences without paying the whole amount upfront. First-Time Borrowers: According to TransUnion CIBIL, 41 percent of all first-time borrowers in India are Gen Z. They are comfortable making purchases and managing payments through digital platforms. E-Commerce, Influence, and Conscious Choices E-commerce Reach: Online luxury retailers are tapping into smaller cities, where Gen Z is quickly becoming a significant customer group. Influencer Impact: Over 25 percent of Gen Z luxury buyers have made purchases via Instagram or were influenced by social media personalities and live commerce events. Experience Over Ownership: Many Gen Z consumers value unique experiences (like travel or live events) as much as, or more than, owning luxury goods. The option to rent or buy pre-owned luxury products is also gaining traction. Ethics, Sustainability & Financial Awareness Conscious Consumption: Today's young luxury buyers increasingly look for brands that are ethical, transparent, and committed to sustainability—reflecting strong values alongside craving for exclusivity. Financial Savvy (and Its Risks): The easy availability of credit has benefits and downsides. While average urban Gen Z incomes stand at about Rs 33,000 per month (with expenses near Rs 20,000), about half say they are unable to save, highlighting a need for smart borrowing and financial education to avoid debt traps.

The K-Beauty secret Gen Z can't get enough of
Stray Kids' Hyunjin and IVEJang won young, as well as famous K-pop singers, are also diligent about skin care Try scrolling without seeing a glowy face or " glass skin " tag-it's nearly impossible. But this isn't just marketing sparkle; studies show it's about global pop icons blending lifestyle with skincare. According to Statista, 58% of global shoppers say K-pop and K-drama shape what they choose from Korea. For young adults, the craze feels personal, and that's no accident. Take Jang Wonyoung, the much-admired idol from IVE. She's famous not just for her stage talent, but for her signature hydration routine -multiple thin layers of essence and cream that build up a fresh, plumped look, all sealed with gentle patting. "Hydration is the core of my routine. I never skip sheet masks-sometimes even twice a day before shoots!" she revealed in an interview collected by Korea Cosmetic Newspaper. This "layering" approach is getting rave reviews from young fans for delivering real, lasting results. But she's not alone: Stray Kids' Hyunjin, another K-pop favorite, openly discusses how he manages sensitivity and breakouts. His go-to: calming, nature-based products like cica toner and green tea cleansers, always sealed by sunscreen. In a recent YouGov survey, 62% of Indian Gen Z say they pick routines that "look authentic and gentle," a trend Hyunjin helped fuel by posting his nighttime routine-proving that even without a glam squad, a K-pop-inspired ritual can be part self-care, part self-expression. It's no wonder Korean skincare is flying off shelves in India, with reports by KOTRA and Social Beat India confirming a sharp jump in K-Beauty's popularity, driven by idol-fueled trends-not just ads. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo What Makes K-Beauty So Addictive? Aloe, Tech, and the Idol Factor Ask anyone in their twenties: why all the K-Beauty hype? It comes down to real benefits, affordable prices, and-according to K-Beauty expert consultant Ms. Cho Hyee Jung-super gentle but innovative formulas. "K-Beauty products are winning over young Indians because their natural ingredients and advanced blends give that moisturized, healthy 'glass skin' look with zero irritation," she explains. Ms. Cho adds that the ritual itself feels like "a healing session," blending wellness with daily style. Numbers back this up. Cosrx India's survey finds 62% of Gen Z (18-26) are chasing "youthful confidence," with 96% buying skincare in the last 6 months. Key sellers stay below ₹1,200-about ₹1,200 for a full set, with deep sale prices even hitting ₹400. Compare that to global brands at ₹2,500 and up, and you see why so many K-beauty products sell out online. And while K-Beauty is famous for natural boosts-think aloe, green tea, hyaluronic acid-what really stands out is personalization. Korean brands now offer AI-powered skin analysis and AR try-ons, plus halal/vegan options. Some even customize formulas for Indian skin and climate, as per Vogue Business' latest report. Social Media, Idol Routines, and the Ultimate Fandom-Beauty Link Move over, influencer plug: K-pop idol recommendations are powering a new level of skincare chatter. In just two years, Social Beat India clocked 6.2 million posts about K-beauty and K-pop, with the 19-24 crowd at the heart. Launchmetrics data shows K-pop stars now drive nearly 60% of global beauty event buzz-sometimes clicking over ₹515 crore in media value, each event. The result? YouGov India reports a 22% spike in real purchases-all from fan trust in how Jang Wonyoung or Hyunjin "really care for their skin." Brands see this, too: K-pop idols have moved up to creative directors, even shaping new product releases based on their routines and feedback. More Than a Trend-Why K-Beauty Fits Your Vibe For millions of young Indians, copying a K-pop skin routine isn't about copying a star; it's about finding personal power, relaxation, and a sense of global connection. KOTRA says over 70.7% of K-content fans (ages 17-30) "genuinely consider Korean skincare when shopping". Ms. Cho notes that K-Beauty's rise isn't a quick trend, but a shift to "wellness, individuality, and a moment of self-care that genuinely feels good. " No matter your budget or your skin challenges, there's a K-pop-inspired routine or product that fits-and a generation finding joy and confidence, one sheet mask at a time.
