It was always only a matter of time before the Euphoria wave came to the Indian wedding circuit, and in the capable hands of JJ Valaya, the future looks bright indeed. For his ‘Alma’ collection at the ongoing FDCI India Couture Week 2022, the couturier sought inspiration from the cultural repositories of Spain, fusing the country’s beauty staples seamlessly with Indian bridal couture. The result is an envy-worthy lineup of hair and makeup moments that will help you stand out in the crowd with enviable ease. Ahead we roundup the top bridal beauty lessons to steal from the show.
Glitter lips
While beauty’s obsession with high-shine lips is a tale as old as time, JJ Valaya’s iteration of disco lips is nothing like the subtle shimmer-infused lipsticks you’ve always known. Instead, he chose to round off his embellished lehengas with glitter-specked lips drenched in the come-hither hues of scarlet red.

Embellished hairline
Two trends are better than one, and it should come as little surprise that the couturier chose to push the envelope by punctuating retro-inspired finger waves with a row of rhinestones. Bring the look home by teasing your tresses into a wet-look hairdo and flank the contours of your hairline with stick-on rhinestones.
Floral halo
Say hola to your inner Frida Kahlo by opting for a statement-making floral crown of glory—there’s endless inspiration to be found on JJ Valaya’s fall/winter ‘23 runway. Start with a swept-back updo as your base with a sleek finish for additional lustre. As the finishing touch, reach for some fresh blooms and secure them along the crown of your head or behind your ears to lend a floral touch to the look.
Embellished face nets
Eye candy takes on a literal meaning with the designer’s lineup of vintage-inflected facial nets, studded with crystals and rhinestones to catch the light. If you are feeling bold, team yours with the floral hairdos spotted on the runway to add intrigue to a monochrome look.
Rhinestone-encrusted eyes
For the eyes, the couturier maintained fidelity to the more-is-more mandate and added extra sparkle to the runway with rhinestone-encrusted eyes that wouldn’t have looked out of place in the hallways of East Highland High School. Give in to the diamond rush you have been harbouring since your last Euphoria binge by dotting a few crystals under your brow bone and along the crease on sangeet night.
