Falguni Shane Peacock’s latest couture collection, “Raj Mahal Bijoux,” showcased at India Couture Week, was a spectacle to behold. The extensive collection was inspired by India’s rich heritage, encompassing its architecture, artistry, and lifestyle. The collection combines skilled craftsmanship with luxurious couture techniques to make ensembles that lavishly embody regal grandeur.
The remarkable collection showcased everything from magnificent lehengas and glorious sarees to dreamy gowns and flamboyant menswear, swathed in artistic motifs and ornate embellishments, creating ensembles befitting royalty. Creative elements such as metallic bowties, structured bustiers, dramatic drapes, ornamental veils, and opulent trails further added to the splendour of the outfits.
So, when it was time for Falguni Shane Peacock to select a showstopper for the show, the choice of Akshay Kumar was an obvious one. The actor embodies the essence of royalty, opulence, and timeless elegance—qualities that are central to the couture collection Raj Mahal Bijoux.

For the showstopper look, the actor walked down the ramp, dressed in an ivory bandhgala sherwani, oozing old-money charm. The splendid creation featured intricate tone-on-tone silk embroidery in a grid-like pattern, imparting a regal yet sophisticated appearance. In true Falguni Shane Peacock style, the sherwani was adorned with detailed sequin-work all over for a glimmering effect but in a subdued manner. The padded shoulder detailing and the side slits added structure and movement to the sherwani, while the gold buttons added a contrasting element to the monotone ensemble.
The luxurious sherwani is paired with a white kurta and straight-fit pants underneath for a cohesive and stylish look. The dapper look was further enhanced with a pair of black sunglasses and embellished juttis.
