Indian cinema’s beloved couple, Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth, brought timeless elegance and regal charm to the runway as they turned showstoppers for designer Jayanti Reddy at the FDCI Hyundai India Couture Week 2026 in New Delhi.
The actor couple stole the spotlight on Tuesday evening at the Taj Palace hotel, closing Jayanti Reddy’s showcase hand-in-hand in an exquisite celebration of heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary couture. Their appearance was among the most memorable moments of the ongoing fashion extravaganza.
Jayanti Reddy’s latest collection, The Glided Era, paid tribute to the rich cultural legacy of Hyderabad and the opulence of the Nizami era. The collection featured heritage textiles, antique floral motifs and intricate hand embroidery rendered in a sophisticated neutral colour palette, reflecting the designer’s signature blend of traditional Indian silhouettes and modern styling.
Aditi Rao Hydari embodied understated royalty in a gold and beige embellished peplum-style bodice paired with a voluminous sharara skirt. The ensemble was adorned with intricate zardozi embroidery, delicate beadwork and shimmering sequins. She completed her look with an elegant choker set, pin-straight hair neatly tucked behind her ears and a bold lip colour that added a contemporary touch to the regal outfit.
Complementing Aditi’s ensemble, Siddharth embraced the collection’s refined aesthetic in a heavily embroidered beige sherwani jacket, styled unbuttoned over draped dhoti-style trousers. Elevating his look further was a striking multi-layered pearl and emerald necklace that echoed the grandeur of Hyderabad’s royal heritage.
Designer Jayanti Reddy herself joined the couple on the runway, wearing a shimmering sheer beige embroidered top paired with tailored white trousers. Together, the trio posed beneath illuminated stage arches, creating a picture-perfect finale that drew enthusiastic applause from the audience.
More than a celebrity appearance, the showcase was a seamless fusion of fashion, history and storytelling. Through intricate craftsmanship and elegant silhouettes, The Glided Era celebrated India’s rich textile traditions while embracing contemporary couture.
With their effortless chemistry and regal presence, Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth brought Jayanti Reddy’s artistic vision vividly to life, making their runway walk one of the defining highlights of FDCI Hyundai India Couture Week 2026.
