Rasha Thadani walks past the competition and Ibrahim Ali Khan matches every step

All eyes were on Rasha Thadani and Ibrahim Ali Khan at Day 8 of India Couture Week 2025 in Delhi as the two made their showstopper debut for designer JJ Valaya. Walking the ramp together for the first time, the duo sparked major chatter online and quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the event.

Rasha wore a striking black lehenga detailed with multi-coloured threadwork and shimmering gold accents. Her blouse and bralette pairing gave the ensemble a contemporary spin, while her dupatta flowed like a cape, adding drama and movement with every step. Ibrahim complemented the vibe in a velvet sherwani teamed with Pathani bottoms, keeping the silhouette sharp and strong.

Their appearance was part of JJ Valaya’s latest collection titled "East", which reimagines traditional crafts through a global lens. With fabrics ranging from silks and brocades to organza and velvet, the collection takes cues from India, the Balkans and the Far East. Rasha and Ibrahim’s confident walk brought this cross-cultural fusion to life on the runway.

What followed after the show was a wave of online reactions. Rasha’s poise and flow caught the attention of fashion enthusiasts who were quick to notice how naturally she held her presence. Her walk drew comparisons to more seasoned celebrities, with many calling her a standout among Gen Z debutantes. Ibrahim, too, received love for his effortless command and comfort on stage.

Interestingly, their moment came just a day after a few other celebrity walks at the same fashion week drew criticism. That contrast only added to the buzz around Rasha and Ibrahim, who brought freshness and presence to the stage without missing a beat.

With no prior ramp experience and no over-the-top theatrics, the two managed to make a lasting impression. In a space where fashion meets performance, their debut might just signal the arrival of two new faces who know exactly how to walk the talk.
