Khushi Kapoor chose a striped beaded gown by Gaurav Gupta with a subtle fishtail flare

At Gaurav Gupta’s first-ever bridal couture showcase in Mumbai, Khushi Kapoor was in attendance to support her sister Janhvi Kapoor, who closed the show as the showstopper. The event marked the launch of Gupta’s 2025 Indian couture collection, Quantum Entanglement, unveiled on August 8 at the Jio World Convention Centre.

For the evening, Khushi chose a sleeveless formfitting gown by the designer from his 2024 couture collection, Jyotirgamaya. The pearl gown featured a high, fitted neck that gave structure to the otherwise fluid silhouette. It was hand embroidered all over with vertical stripes of transparent and metallic silver bugle beads, each strip following the garment’s seams to elongate the frame and catch light with minimal movement. The embroidery varied in density across the bodice and hips, visually enhancing the contours of the dress. Toward the hem, the gown subtly flared out into a light mermaid shape, giving the look some swish.

The show itself marked a milestone for the designer since it was his first bridal couture collection conceptualised as a theatrical journey through a modern Indian wedding. Titled Quantum Entanglement, the show unfolded across three immersive spaces, guiding over 500 guests from cocktail hour to vows to reception. Drawing from the physics theory from which it takes its name, the collection explored its theme through dual-toned pairings, mirrored silhouettes and intricately engineered embroidery. Think sculpted sari gowns, lehengas embedded with 3D florals, Banarasi brocades woven over 200 days and layered with antique-inspired crystal work. Bridalwear was reimagined with latticework veils, mother-of-pearl inlays and architectural corsetry, bridging tradition with precision-led innovation.
