Presented at the Jio World Convention Centre, the experience promised to reimagine the modern Indian wedding as an immersive evening of fashion, ritual and storytelling.
Guests walked into a world built for feeling. Over five hundred attendees from across fashion, cinema and culture experienced the show as a sensorial journey across three acts: from cocktail hour to vows to reception. The evening unfolded as a cinematic crescendo, merging sound, light, and couture in a transformative space. Gupta's vision went beyond garments, creating a portal where memory, ceremony and movement exist as one.

This collaboration with Gaurav Gupta is a statement of bold intent, that elevated the experience with confidence and craft. Chivas didn't just present in weddings, it owned the moment, with the unmistakable signature of luxury.
Speaking of the show, Pulkith Modi, Marketing Lead - International Brands, Pernod Ricard India, shared, "Chivas Luxe Collective is a personification of modern luxury in India. Its essence comes alive in moments of celebration and splendor. Weddings are one of the most indulgent celebrations in India, and a natural space for Chivas Luxe Collective to blend in.

At Chivas Luxe Collective perfumes, we embrace opulence and regal moments, and this collaboration exemplifies just that."
The evening also marked a historic first as Gaurav Gupta unveiled a seven-piece capsule with Italian luxury maison Rene Caovilla--the Venetian brand's debut collaboration with an Indian designer. Each heel, crafted like couture in miniature, is brocaded, beaded and hand-embellished to mirror the Gupta universe. Spanning shades from Vermillion Red to Electric Blue, the capsule fused cultural heritage with innovation, with a global retail debut in January 2026 at Gaurav Gupta flagships and Rene Caovilla boutiques.
A Rene Caovilla spokesperson commented, "The partnership began naturally. After meeting at Paris Haute Couture Week last January, we started a beautiful creative dialogue and a growing connection. Both collaborations' passion for both cultures and both firms' long-term loyalty were great."
Beauty took centre stage at Gaurav Gupta's couture show, with Nykaa Luxe as the exclusive beauty partner, shaping a bold new language for the modern bride.

Partnering with Gaurav Gupta and celebrity makeup artist Namrata Soni, Nykaa Luxe crafted fearless, high-impact looks that echoed the couture's architectural precision and emotional depth. Beauty didn't just complement the garments; it became part of their structure, their energy, and their narrative.
"At Nykaa Luxe, we believe beauty should be as bold and intentional as the women who wear it," said a Nykaa spokesperson. "Our partnership with Gaurav Gupta was an exploration of artistry without restraint, where colour, texture, and form spoke a language of confidence. These looks were not accessories to the couture, but its equal counterpart, carrying the same spirit of vision, precision, and unapologetic self-expression."
Hair became a sculptural medium, with Kerastase as the official hair partner, celebrity hairstylist Mitesh Rajani has crafted structured yet fluid looks using the brand's Elixir Ultime. Each style reflects the duality of the collection--sharp yet sensual, bold yet refined.
