Fashion & Lifestyle | Couture Week Spotlight

New Delhi’s Taj Palace hotel witnessed a breathtaking display of heritage and romance this Tuesday evening as beloved actor couple Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth stole the spotlight at the FDCI Hyundai India Couture Week (ICW) 2026. Walking hand-in-hand, the duo served as the exclusive showstoppers for celebrated designer Jayanti Reddy, bringing a perfect culmination of modern elegance and historical grandeur to the runway.

A Tribute to the Nizami Legacy

The evening belonged to Reddy’s latest couture line, titled ‘The Glided Era’. Drawing deep inspiration from the rich cultural tapestry of Hyderabad and the unparalleled craftsmanship of the Nizami period, the collection was a visual feast of heritage textiles. The runway was dominated by a sophisticated neutral color palette, providing the perfect canvas for antique floral motifs and painstaking hand-embroidery to shine.

Decoding the Royal Ensembles

The couple’s meticulously coordinated outfits flawlessly echoed the collection’s regal aesthetic, blending traditional Indian silhouettes with a fresh, contemporary spirit.

• Aditi’s Ethereal Look: The actress radiated grace in a striking gold and beige ensemble. Her outfit featured an intricately embellished peplum bodice, perfectly paired with a voluminous sharara skirt. The garment was a testament to traditional artistry, boasting heavy zardozi work, delicate sequins, and ornate beadwork. A classic choker set, sleek pin-straight hair tucked neatly behind her ears, and a striking bold lip provided the finishing touches to her majestic appearance.
• Siddharth’s Modern Sherwani: Complementing his partner, Siddharth exuded royal charm in a heavily embroidered beige sherwani jacket, worn stylishly unbuttoned over draped, dhoti-style trousers. To elevate the look, he donned a luxurious multi-layered necklace crafted from pearls and emeralds, perfectly balancing masculine elegance with Nizami opulence.

A Picture-Perfect Finale

As the showcase drew to a close, designer Jayanti Reddy joined her muses on the runway. Dressed effortlessly in a sheer, shimmering beige embroidered top and sharply tailored white trousers, Reddy stood proudly alongside the actors.

The presentation culminated with the trio posing against the dramatic backdrop of illuminated stage arches—a moment that instantly became one of the most memorable highlights of the ongoing ICW 2026. Ultimately, the night was a triumphant showcase of Reddy’s signature vision, brought to life brilliantly by two of Indian cinema’s favorite stars.
