Akshay Kumar Makes A Dazzling Comeback To The Runway In Royal White Sherwani
Akshay Kumar turned showstopper for Falguni Shane Peacock on Day 3 of the Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 in New Delhi. The third day of the 18th edition of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 saw Falguni Shane Peacock taking over the Taj Palace in New Delhi. The collection was all about royal opulence. Actor Akshay Kumar returned to the runway after more than a decade and turned showstopper for Falguni Shane Peacock. Akshay Kumar 's showstopping look featured a pristine white sherwani that was paired with matching white pants. In this striking look from Falguni Shane Peacock's Raj Mahal Bijoux collection, actor Akshay Kumar epitomises understated regality with a modern edge. The look featured a textured sherwani that blends classic tailoring with minimalist sophistication. The sherwani features a subtle woven pattern and is adorned with gold buttons. Falguni Shane Peacock's latest couture collection, Raj Mahal Bijoux, is a glittering tribute to India's regal past: a world where opulence reigned supreme, and every jewel told a story. Aptly titled 'The Palace of Jewels', the collection is a poetic exploration of the lavish lives of maharajas and maharanis, blending heritage with haute couture in the designers' signature grandiose style. Drawing from the architectural marvels of India's royal palaces, from the intricate stonework of Jaipur's City Palace to the magnificent marble peacock sculpture of Baroda's Laxmi Vilas Palace, the collection echoes the craftsmanship and artistry of a time when fashion was inextricably linked to grandeur. The garments breathe life into palace walls, frescoed ceilings, and lush gardens where exotic birds roamed freely—motifs reimagined in ornate embroidery, fluid drapes, and dramatic silhouettes. At the heart of Raj Mahal Bijoux lies the romance of handwoven sarees, sheer veils, and sculpted capes. The designers delve into the legacy of India's royal jewels: legendary emeralds, uncut diamonds, and heirloom treasures, to create embellishments that sparkle with history. Yet, the collection is far from being merely nostalgic. Each piece is designed for the modern-day maharani. Raj Mahal Bijoux is steeped in cultural reverence. It pays homage to the hands that continue to shape Indian couture: the artisans and weavers who translate centuries-old techniques into modern masterpieces. From detailed handwork and zardozi embroidery to layers of silk, tulle, and sequins that mimic the textures of royal court attire, every ensemble is a work of wearable art. tags : Akshay Kumar Falguni and Shane Peacock fashion FDCI India Couture Week India Couture Week lifestyle view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: July 26, 2025, 09:07 IST News lifestyle Akshay Kumar Makes A Dazzling Comeback To The Runway In Royal White Sherwani Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

ICW: 'Kaafi late nahi hogaya,' hilariously says Akshay Kumar as he closes Falguni Shane Peacocks show past his usual bedtime
New Delhi [India], July 26 (ANI): Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is known for leading a disciplined lifestyle, which mainly includes hitting the bed early and waking up at 4 am in the morning. However, sometimes, due to work commitments, his "early sleep and wake-up routine" gets hampered. Friday night was one of those rare days when Khiladi Kumar stayed up late. He had no qualms about it as he was in his hometown, Delhi, for ace designers Falguni Shane Peacock's special show at India Couture Week 2025. After walking the ramp for the designers, Akshay briefly spoke with media around 11 pm on Friday night, joking about closing the show past his usual bedtime. "Well, thank you very much. Main Hindi mein bolunga. Aap sabhi logo ka bhaut bhaut dhanyawad, jitne bhi yahan log aaye, aur media. (Looking at his watch) Kaafi late nahi ho gaya hai?" Akshay quipped, leaving members of the media in splits. The 'Kesari' star was in full candid mode. When one of the shutterbugs said, "Dilli mein chalta hai sir", Akshay, with a touch of humour, responded, "Tabhi Haal dekh tera." Akshay returned to the runway after many years, but his comeback was definitely worth the wait. Dressed in an ivory bandhgala sherwani, Akshay looked handsome as he exuded desi swag with his showstopper look. His black sunglasses and silver juti elevated his traditional look, echoing with designers' offering Raj Mahal Bijoux - The Palace of Jewels. On making his comeback to runway after 12 years, Akshay expressed, "Actually, after a long time I'm doing this walk, ramp walk. Mujhe yaad hai, aaj se kariban 12 saal pehle, maine phir ek baar ramp walk kiya tha, maine inhi ke saath kiya tha. And it's been an honour doing that." Akshay also lauded designers, models and the entire team for their relentless efforts that go behind conducting one show. He added, "I have enjoyed each and every bit of it. Specially, maine dekha hai ki kitna hard-work jaata hai ek show karne ke liye, organise karne ke liye aur 25 minute ke andar poora ka poora khatam ho jaata hai. Log itna saj dhaj ke aate hain aur 25 minute ke andar poora show khatam ho jaata hai. But, I just want to tell you that Shane and Falguni, the way they present themselves in such an international way, I think they have made India so proud." Meanwhile, on the acting front, Akshay will be seen soon in Priyadarshan's film 'Bhooth Bangla'. He also has 'Haiwaan' and 'Hera Pheri 3' in pipeline with ace director Priyadarshan. (ANI)
