Rahul Mishra’s Bridal Lehenga With A Twist

A confluence of Indian and Western bridal aesthetic, Rahul’s white wedding lehenga was a work of art. Embellished with dainty floral motifs, the scalloped hem skirt has an international feel. So does the tube blouse. Rahul has smartly finished off the look with a dupatta-style veil. Here’s a look that is the best of both worlds and will have equal appeal for the desi and well as the white bride.

The Saree That Broke The Internet

Remember Zendaya’s trailing saree from the NMACC opening ceremony? Rahul just recreated the same for the Paris Fashion Week and it was a hit! We love the bedazzling blouse featuring oversized sequins fashioned to look like feathers. Only Rahul can think of creating something so out of the box!
