Priyanka Chopra has once again proven why she is considered India’s global fashion icon. The actress recently stepped out for the promotional tour of her upcoming action film, transforming the red carpet into a pirate-core runway with three stunning ensembles.
Her first look featured the elegant Datt Tidal Gown, inspired by sea elements. The off-shoulder white gown showcased delicate lace detailing and soft tidal patterns that reflected beachside aesthetics. Feminine and graceful, the outfit was priced at Rs 69,132 and styled with gold hoop earrings and a statement ring, keeping the look minimal yet impactful.
For another appearance, Priyanka embraced modern glamour in a structured white gown featuring bold cut-outs and a thigh-high slit. The silhouette highlighted sophistication while maintaining the dramatic pirate-core theme through its fluid design and confident styling.


The final look made the biggest statement — an electric blue sheer gown from Altuzarra’s Fall/Winter 2025 couture collection. The outfit featured a structured top with a prominent bow neckline, paired with a completely see-through skirt that added a bold, edgy appeal. She elevated the look with a Judith Leiber Bali Parrot Clutch and Christian Louboutin Hot Chick Pumps in burnt copper tones.
With corsets, sheer silhouettes, dramatic textures, and statement accessories, Priyanka Chopra once again demonstrated how theatrical fashion storytelling can redefine celebrity style. In an era where red-carpet looks often feel predictable, she continues to push boundaries and command attention with confidence and elegance.

BLACKPINK member Lisa and popular Thai actor Win Metawin sent fans into a frenzy after they were spotted together at the prestigious Amazing Thailand Ambassador Exclusive Night. The high-profile event, celebrating Thailand’s culture and global influence, brought the two stars together as part of the country’s international tourism campaign, instantly becoming a talking point across social media platforms.

Fresh from wrapping up BLACKPINK’s globally successful DEADLINE World Tour alongside Jennie, Rosé and Jisoo, Lisa made a striking appearance that blended couture elegance with deep cultural significance. She wore a Balmain Haute Couture gown inspired by Pierre Balmain’s Spring/Summer 1960 collection, originally reimagined for Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother of Thailand. The ensemble featured a golden bandeau top and voluminous sleeves woven with traditional Thai textiles, paired with a butter-yellow duchesse satin wrap skirt that flowed effortlessly, creating a sculptural yet graceful silhouette. Completing the look with a matching stole, Lisa elevated the ensemble further with exquisite Bvlgari high jewellery, reinforcing her status as a global fashion icon.

Standing beside her was Win Metawin, one of Thailand’s most popular young actors and also a key face of the Amazing Thailand campaign. Win opted for a sleek all-black ensemble, pairing a classic shirt and tie with straight-leg trousers and a velvet blazer. Adding a meaningful cultural touch, he wore a golden brooch shaped like Thailand, subtly echoing the evening’s theme of national pride. The duo were seen interacting warmly on stage and posing together for photographers, moments that quickly went viral online.

Fans flooded social media with admiration, praising not only their visuals but also the symbolic pairing of two of Thailand’s most globally recognised cultural ambassadors. Many highlighted the chemistry between the two, while others applauded the way fashion, heritage and modern stardom came together in a single frame. Comments celebrating Lisa as a “global princess” and Win as Thailand’s “proud representative” dominated timelines, further amplifying the event’s impact.

While Lisa continues to expand her influence beyond music into fashion and cultural representation, Win Metawin is gearing up for his next major project, the historical fantasy drama Scarlet Heart Thailand, currently under production. Their appearance together underscored the growing global spotlight on Thai talent and culture, making the night not just a fashion moment, but a celebration of Thailand’s evolving presence on the world stage.

“The Bads of Bollywood” Premiere: Aryan Khan’s Directorial Debut Turns into a Star-Studded Spectacle

Tanisha Cardozo

In a city that has seen its fair share of glamorous nights, this one stood out. Red Chillies Entertainment hosted a grand premiere of The Bads of Bollywood at the opulent Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai, and the event was anything but ordinary. The venue shimmered with lights, echoed with camera clicks, and buzzed with a sense of cinematic history being made.

What was meant to be a premiere for a new web series quickly evolved into a full-blown media spectacle. The red carpet felt like a who’s who of Bollywood. From Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt to Kajol and Ajay Devgn, the A-list turnout was jaw-dropping. Every entrance was a moment, with celebrities donning dramatic couture, glamorous gowns, and statement looks that sparked a fashion frenzy.

The biggest highlight, however, was the presence of Shah Rukh Khan and his family, attending in support of Aryan Khan, who made his much-anticipated directorial debut. Aryan, known for staying out of the spotlight, finally stepped in—but on his own terms—as the creative force behind The Bads of Bollywood, a satirical action comedy web series that premiered on Netflix the same night.

The evening wasn’t without its emotional undertones. One particularly touching moment saw Bobby Deol comforting Aryan Khan, in what appeared to be an attempt to lift his spirits amidst the overwhelming attention. These intimate gestures gave the night a human touch, a reminder that behind the glitz were real emotions, dreams, and first steps being taken.

As the show begins its streaming journey on Netflix, all eyes are on Aryan Khan, who has taken his first step not as an actor, but as a director with a vision. The premiere may be over, but the buzz around The Bads of Bollywood has only just begun.

Mumbai turned into a fashion haven on August 8 as designer Gaurav Gupta unveiled his latest bridal couture collection Quantum Entanglement—a breathtaking celebration of Indian tradition woven into modern couture artistry.

Showstoppers Who Stunned

Commanding attention as the show’s finale highlight were actors Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra, walking the ramp as the ultimate modern bride and groom.

Janhvi floated down the runway in a shimmering white lehenga that exuded elegance and sophistication. Featuring intricate embroidery and a statement off-shoulder choli, the ensemble struck a perfect balance between regality and contemporary fashion. Her look was completed with a sleek bun, subtle makeup, and a statement necklace that framed her neckline beautifully.

Sidharth Malhotra complemented her effortlessly in a cream sherwani adorned with subtle yet elaborate embroidery. A clean white dupatta draped over one shoulder added a refined finishing touch to his regal look.

Quantum Entanglement: The Collection

Gaurav Gupta’s Quantum Entanglement is a masterclass in storytelling through fashion. Rooted in his heritage and signature futuristic style, the collection featured flowing silhouettes, intricate folds, featherlight ripples, and 3D embellishments. Shades of white, silver, and pastels dominated the runway, capturing light and movement with every step.

The collection sought to explore the connection between tradition and individuality — just as quantum entanglement ties together particles across space, Gaurav’s pieces aim to connect emotion, identity, and cultural depth.

A Star-Studded Affair

The fashion gala wasn’t short on star power. Celebrities like Dulquer Salmaan, Malaika Arora, Khushi Kapoor, and Disha Patani graced the front rows, making it a red-letter night for India’s fashion elite.

Bridal Couture for the New Generation

With this collection, Gaurav Gupta cements his place as a designer for the modern Indian bride and groom — those who revere tradition but aren’t afraid to express themselves with bold, innovative design choices. Quantum Entanglement is not just couture; it’s a vision of heritage reimagined.
