Ace designer Gaurav Gupta presented his collection 'Arunodaya' on day six at India Couture Week 2024. The mesmerizing showcase saw a blend of elegance and innovation, leaving the attendees captivated by its luxurious fabrics and beautiful designs.

The highlight of the evening was Bollywood newbie Khushi Kapoor and her rumoured boyfriend as well as 'The Archies' co-star, Vedang Raina, who graced the ramp as showstoppers for the designer.

The duo's chemistry was quite evident as they walked the ramp for Gupta's stunning collection. Their interactions on stage hinted at a deeper connection, adding a romantic touch to the evening.

Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina marked their debut together as Betty Cooper and Reggie Mantle in Zoya Akhtar's Indian adaptation of Archie Comics, which premiered on Netflix. The film also starred Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Mihir Ahuja, Yuvraj Menda, and Dot, among others.

Talking about their outfits, Khushi dazzled in a glittering silver lehenga, paired with a bead-embellished blouse featuring flowing cape-style sleeves. Her high-waisted, fit-and-flare lehenga was adorned with geometric patterns and swirling stones. She completed her look with a multi-layered choker necklace, voluminous waves, and neutral-toned makeup.

Vedang Raina, complementing Kapoor's look, wore a sophisticated sherwani with a high neckline and long sleeves. His outfit, adorned with shimmering black beadwork, was paired with black trousers and brogues, making for a striking ensemble.

Gaurav Gupta's 'Arunodaya' collection, which means 'dawn' in Sanskrit, symbolizes hope and new beginnings. Gupta's collection perfectly embodied this theme, with each outfit reflecting the beauty of a fresh start.

India Couture Week 2024 kickstarted on July 24. Falguni Shane Peacock will be closing the fashion gala on July 31.

On the acting front, Khushi will be seen in 'Naadaniyaan' with Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim Ali Khan, who will be making his debut in Hindi cinema. Then she has a movie with Junaid Khan, whose latest release is 'Maharaj'.

Vedang will be seen in 'Jigra' alongside Alia Bhatt. Helmed by Vasan Bala, 'Jigra' will be co-produced by Karan Johar and Alia herself. The film is all set to hit the theatres on September 27, 2024. Director Vasan Bala previously helmed films like 'Monica O My Darling', a crime thriller film 'Peddlers' and 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota'. 'Jigra' was announced last year in September. The announcement video showed the film is a tale of a sister's love for her brother and how she would do anything to protect him.
