The 18th edition of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 opened with a spellbinding show in New Delhi, led by internationally acclaimed designer Rahul Mishra. The evening belonged to Tamannaah Bhatia, who graced the runway in two unforgettable looks that embodied the designer’s soulful new collection, Becoming Love.
🌸 A Collection Rooted in Mysticism
Mishra’s collection, originally showcased in Paris, draws deeply from Sufi mysticism. Titled Becoming Love, it traces the spiritual evolution of love — from longing and attachment to divine connection. The garments featured intricate hand embroidery, motifs of blooming lotuses, garden landscapes, and celestial artwork depicting Lord Krishna’s Raas Leela.
“Becoming Love is not just about fashion. It’s a meditation on emotional and spiritual awakening,” said Mishra.
👑 Tamannaah: Muse and Magic
Opening the show, Tamannaah Bhatia first walked in a soft-toned, hand-embroidered gown — glimmering with sequins and delicately woven florals. Her elegance reflected the introspective beauty of love’s first stirrings.
Her second walk transformed the mood — she appeared in a brilliant lehenga, crafted with dazzling embellishments and layered embroidery. Though reminiscent of Indian bridalwear, the design felt refreshingly modern and bold.
“Tamannaah was not just a showstopper, she was the soul of the story,” noted fashion observers. “She brought Mishra’s vision alive.”
🌟 A Promising Start to Couture Week
The show was a grand opening to Couture Week’s 2025 chapter, signaling that this season will be a blend of deep artistry and bold expression. Mishra’s blend of Indian tradition and Parisian finesse offered a glimpse into the future of global couture — rooted in identity, yet expansive in imagination.
