The Queen Of Sizzling Style! Disha Patani’s Sheer Corset Outfit | Glamsham.com

Disha Patani again demonstrated her fashion acumen at a recent Mumbai event, where she took everyone by surprise in a daring black sheer corset dress that has gone viral on the internet. Famous for her impeccable sense of style and poise, the Yodha star actress effortlessly turned heads as she made an exit, looking charming with her signature smile.

In the viral clip, Disha wore a dainty black lace corset with elaborate cut-out designs and a sheer, body-hugging figure. The ensemble best showed off her toned body, revealing her well-documented fitness regimen. She dressed her accessories down — settling for a gold chain-strap mini bag — and left her soft, wavy locks loose. Her makeup was understated, radiating with a natural finish that suited the sultry outfit.

In spite of the boldness of the outfit, Disha walked with poise and dignity, welcoming the paparazzi warmly with a soft smile before entering inside. The social media reacted immediately with fans raining fire emojis and congratulatory messages such as, “She’s the epitome of hotness,” and “Only Disha can do this so effortlessly!”

In her private life, Disha recently wished on the birthday of her good friend Aleksandar Alex Ilic, who is often spotted with her and actress Mouni Roy. Posting a cute birthday message on Instagram with a picture of the pair dressing in matching white, Disha wrote, “Happy b’day my Alexi. Thank you for being the bestest friend that you are. Stay the most beautiful you. Keep shining.”

Disha debuted as an actor in the Telugu movie Loafer (2015), but gained prominence with M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story. She has then gone on to give the hits of Baaghi 2, Malang, Radhe, and Yodha, and can be seen in the sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD next.

The heavy golden border on the outfit gave it the royal touch, complemented by matching velvet pants and a see-through dupatta filled with small-scale golden embroidery and heavy borders.

To round off the look, Shehnaaz wore golden high heels, layered blue and gold bangles, and weighty jhumkas—jewelry that seemed to fit the lavish attire to perfection. She captioned the photo, “Royal Feels, velvet dreams. #ikkkudi releasing on 31st October in cinemas!” The look was appreciated by fans and friends, with producer Rhea Kapoor simply posting under the photo, “Beautiful,”.

5 Times Aditi Rao Hydari Proved She Is Bollywood’s Ethnic Queen

by jummy84 October 11, 2025
written by jummy84

Aditi Rao Hydari’s traditional wardrobe is one to watch out for – for its variety of ensembles ranging from distinct lehenga pieces, statement sarees, to elegant suits and a lot more! Given Aditi’s rich fashion sense, here’s looking at 5 times she stunned us with her ethnic ensembles.

5 Times Aditi Rao Hydari Proved She Is Bollywood’s Ethnic Queen

Vibrant Orange Saree

Aditi Rao Hydari dazzled in a bright orange saree featuring pink floral work, a full creation by Raw Mango. She paired the drape with a deep pink blouse with a modest V-neckline and rich floral embroidery, giving out an elegant appeal. Letting the saree have its moment, Aditi accessorised her look with heavy earrings and a few rings – and dished out cues to slay the minimal traditional look.

Heavily Embellished Lehenga

Aditi kept it regal by donning a heavily worked-up golden lehenga featuring zari work all across. The elbow-length sleeves and a V-neckline added structure to the full appearance, and the tissue dupatta amped up the outfit’s royal feel. Keeping it traditionally powerful, she opted for a sleek bun, pulled off the accessory department with heavy jhumkas, kadas – and stunned in bold, red lips.

Emerald Green Suit

Aditi Rao made a subtle traditional statement in an emerald green kurta suit by Raw Mango. While the plain fabric gave it a sophisticated appeal, the golden work across the neckline, torso and throughout the dupatta made it a standout. She kept it simple yet natural in metallic jhumkas and rings, and stunned in soft-glam makeup.

Black Anarkali

Aditi kept it traditionally royal in a full-black anarkali with a wide embellished border at the bottom, a creation by Sabyasachi. She paired it with a netted dupatta with golden work throughout, adding an extra layer of ethnic appeal. She kept the accessory department simple yet glamorous with a heavy earring and opted for matte makeup.

Ombre Saree

Aditi Rao looked as vibrant as ever in a pink ombre saree featuring minimal golden work across the drape and lace details around the blouse and the edges of the saree, a creation of Raw Mango. She accessorised her look with jhumkas and kadas and simply styled her hair in soft waves.

Be it a kurta, sarees or lehenga pieces, Aditi Rao Hydari knows how to pull off a range of ethnic ensembles, and we’re here for it!

Cut the fake outrage about me not having a ring.

Prue Leith remembers Queen Elizabeth’s pride at inventing dorgi after royal pets hook-up

by jummy84 October 8, 2025
written by jummy84

8 October 2025

Queen Elizabeth was very proud to have accidentally created a new dog breed through a “secret liaison” between two royal pets, Dame Prue Leith has revealed.

Queen Elizabeth with one of beloved pet dogs at Sandringham House in 1970

The dorgi hybrid occurred in the 1970s when one of the Queen’s corgis, Tiny, had a private moment with a dachsund named Pipkin, who belonged to the monarch’s sister Princess Margaret, and the two siblings were so enamoured with the pups the tryst produced that they began breeding the pooches.

Great British Bake Off judge Prue can recall a meeting with the Queen and her husband Prince Philip at Buckingham Palace years ago where the late monarch shared her pride at having played a part in creating a new breed of dog that was officially recognised by The Kennel Club, the UK organisation that runs the Crufts international dog show.

Appearing on the Making A Scene podcast, Prue revealed: “One day I was asked to lunch at Buckingham Palace with Prince Philip and the Queen and they had two or three other people from the Palace and then they had six guests. I think this was the idea of getting the royals to meet the people. There was an Olympic sportsman, the Archbishop of Canterbury and various people – so there was a mixture of posh people and ordinary people.

“This flunky told us at the beginning it’s not the done thing to initiate a conversation with the royals. Of course, I forgot that.

“So the Queen came in and she was surrounded by little dogs. I immediately said, ‘Oh, how wonderful ma’am you’ve brought the corgis to lunch.’ She said, ‘They’re not corgis, they’re dorgis.’ Then we had a long conversation about her breeding programme and how one of her dogs had a secret liaison with a dachshund, and so the produce of this union was one half corgi, half dachshund and so she adored this dorgi and so she started to breed dorgis. She was very excited because she said The Kennel Club had just agreed that this was a recognised breed.”

TV chef Prue, 85, admits it is a cherished memory and it came from a conversation she would never have instigated if she didn’t decide to ignore royal protocol.

She added: “So I had this proper conversation with her about something completely you don’t think you’re going to talk about to the royals. I would never have done if I wasn’t just clumsy.”

During her lifetime, Queen Elizabeth – who passed away in September 2022 at the age of 96 – was a committed dog lover and had many corgis and dorgis with a variety of fun names that included Cider, Rum, Berry, Candy, Brandy, Chipper, Harris, Pickles, Piper, Tinker, Vulcan and Fergus.

The former monarch was also Patron of the Dogs Trust dog welfare organization in the UK and her children and grandchildren inherited her love of canine companions.

King Charles and his wife Queen Camilla have a Lagotto Romagnolo named Snuff and a rescue dog called Mole as pets.

Charles’ son Prince William and his wife Princess Catherine have a pet cocker spaniel named Orla, who is the niece of their late dog Lupo, who passed away in November 2020.

Ethan/Utica on Being First Drag Race Queen on Show

by jummy84 September 28, 2025
written by jummy84

For RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Utica Queen, Project Runway was always in the cards. 

Fans of the RuPaul-hosted reality series know the talent Utica, aka Ethan Mundt, possesses with a sewing machine. His sleeping bag gown created during season 13’s Bag Ball shook the show’s audience in 2021, and is remembered as one of the best design looks created on the set of RuPaul’s Drag Race. 

It was only a matter of time before Mundt would hop over the pond, so to speak, and appear on the design competition show. “Project Runway has been on my radar for a while,” Mundt tells The Hollywood Reporter, acknowledging the landmark decision to cast a well-known personality from outside of the franchise. 

“This is the first opportunity that a queen from RuPaul’s Drag Race gets to go and showcase the work, to actually showcase what a queen can do,” he adds. “Of course, I was nervous to be judged as just a queen from Drag Race. But I think that I came in and really gagged them a bit.”

Below, Mundt reflects on the first-of-its-kind reality TV crossover, which of his Project Runway looks he hopes to be remembered for, if he thought about showing up to the season 21 finale in drag and if RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars lies in Utica’s future. 

***

Let’s back up to the very beginning. Did you apply to appear on Project Runway, or were you approached to potentially join the cast?

Project Runway has been on my radar for a while, but I got into this cycle of making things for Drag Race and doing commission work. I always thought that Project Runway would be so fun and an amazing journey. But I was approached by the show, and when that happened, I was like, “Oh yes, it is time.” But of course, I went through all the hurdles that a contestant will go through — the psych evals, the interviews, showing off the work and just being really present amongst the casting process. I went through the waiting game, and then they gave me the final call. So it was a little bit of both — a little bit of reaching out and a little bit of just going through all the hoops to make it happen.

When the opportunity arose to appear on Project Runway, did you worry or hesitate that you could potentially be treated differently by contestants or judges because of your history on RuPaul’s Drag Race?

We go into this process with preconceived notions of our work and our personality, but I think walking into the room and having other contestants who have been in the same boat, like Jesus and Caycee [who previously appeared on earlier seasons of Project Runway], and when we found out later in the season that Veejay was also on [Project Runway Philippines], it felt like, “Oh, this is our second shot to really make it happen.” And in a way, it kind of felt like an all-star season. This is the first opportunity that a queen from RuPaul’s Drag Race gets to go and showcase the work, and not just be a talking head anymore, but to actually showcase what a queen can do. So, of course, I was nervous to be judged as just a queen from Drag Race. But I came in, and I think I really surprised not only the audience but the contestants and the judges to really showcase something so special on that runway. I think that I came in and really gagged them a bit.

This is the first time that someone from RuPaul’s Drag Race has gone on Project Runway. Now that you are embedded in the history of these two beloved reality shows, what does that feel like?

Of course, it’s a big honor, and I’m really gagged that this opportunity has not happened yet. There is such a rich world of drag designers and drag artists that are just creating beautiful pieces and inspiring fashion. So, it’s amazing. I really hope this opportunity opens the doors for other drag designers and drag artists to continue to make and be a part of the story. I’m hoping to see some of my [drag] sisters or other designers on the show, and just really put their stamp on the world and change the fashion community [with] something a little bit more boisterous, a little bit more loud, a little bit more experimental. As our country moves into states of chaos right now, we need art to really pave the way, to bring hope. It’s a big honor to be a part of this narrative, especially right now and what’s happening in the world.

Season 21 had a fully queer top three. What does that mean for you, not only to make it to the finale of Project Runway to show your first collection, but to be surrounded by this particular group of queer designers, given the current political climate?

It’s fabulous. Showing off all this queerness is definitely what we need right now to show that we can rise through adversity and make it out on top. It’s the moment. It’s what the world needs to see that is just a big, special moment to say, “Fuck you to the powers that be,” that queer people can come out on top and create beautiful work along the way. And you know, being a queen and being queer is a political statement in itself. So I’m glad that through art, we’re already making waves.

You won the first and last challenges of the season. What does that signify to you about your growth on Project Runway?

I think I made the show into my sandwich (laughs). Start the competition out with a bang, and just have a fabulous time through it. And then to end it with such a bang, I think is every designer’s dream who wants to go on the show. It makes it reality. It’s really amazing to be able to say that I came in and gave it my all and gave them a great go, and I gave them equally as great clothes.

On Drag Race, your sleeping bag look is a standout piece you’re known for. Which look from your time on Project Runway do you hope to be remembered for?

I think I have the privilege to say that there have been a few. Of course, the cape [from the premiere], the athleisure with the red stripe, the avant-garde [Wicked challenge], my butterfly [unconventional challenge] look, right? Starting the competition off with a bang with the cape and then moving right into killing the athleisure [challenge] was just insane. To be able to say I have a few notable looks is really special.

With your finale collection, you utilized a male model. Did you ever think about potentially casting drag queens as your models?

Of course. I did ask for trans women, drag queens, men that I could put into drag. But we got a few male models, some of them could walk, some of them could not. From what I got to pick, I feel like I got a really good squad of people that have supported me throughout the competition. And unfortunately, the finale was only five days prep, so as much as I would have loved to put some of my characters in drag, [timing] did not allow to make that happen.

You showed up to one of the runways in full drag as Utica instead of Ethan. You have since revealed that production asked you to show up in drag. Did you think about coming to the finale in drag as Utica, or were you set on presenting yourself as Ethan for your final moment on Project Runway?

I did consider going to the finale drag. I had the look already, but girl, [it was] so hectic. And then also, I’ll be honest, with the crazy critiques and everything that happened for the denim [challenge when I showed up in drag], I approached them afterwards, and I was like, “I did not come on this show to have my character critiqued in this way. Critique the clothes, critique the moments of the show, but I will not gift my art of being presented in drag, which takes a lot of time — I have to get up early, it’s inherently uncomfortable.” And I never got the air that they were going to shift their point of view in that regard, so I did not gift them with being in drag again. But it was so crazy. In a way, I’m kind of glad that I did [not come in drag], because hand sewing my model into her dress at the end, I don’t know if I could have done it in drag.

Given this newfound explosion in your career as a designer, does this mean that Utica and performing in drag is potentially going to be sidelined, or are you still equally as focused on drag while also expanding your work as a designer?

I definitely want to continue both avenues. I have the bandwidth for both. Utica informs the clothes, so I think that I would love to continue both energies as I move forward. And I mean, both of them sign checks, so I would love to keep the energy going (Laughs).

Disney/Spencer Pazer

Do you think that having competed on Project Runway and moving into a different reality show with a different network could prohibit you from returning to Drag Race for an All Stars season? Are you even open to going back to All Stars in the future?

I would love to go back to All Stars. I definitely want to let Project Runway cook and take advantage of the opportunity and not under-saturate it, because it’s such an incredible moment for the drag community to be on this show. But, I would not say no to an All Stars opportunity. I think there is room for someone like me to come back with getting the blaze in and just create a fabulous moment on All Stars after all of this. There are so many queens that branch out to do different things from Drag Race, and Drag Race is one of the reasons why my career has become what it has. I would love to go back and really just create a beautiful moment when the time is right.

What reality show will you go on next? You have RuPaul’s Drag Race and Project Runway under your belt. What’s next?

I would love another making show, whatever that may be, like Next in Fashion, if they ever bring that back, or Making the Cut. Or I would love to be a model on Project Runway. To come in and have [designers] fight over my Polaroid would be so sickening, or even a judge on the show. I think that would just be fabulous to be a part of the franchise in a different way, rather than being a contestant. 

Looking back at Project Runway season 21, what do you think is the number one thing you’ve learned that you will take away from this experience as a designer?

My special brand is things that are off the beaten path and a little loud. Getting the critique that my things are too draggy is fine. I’m pushing the envelope, doing things that are new, and I’m really going to take with me that I can create a special moment on the runway and include everybody’s bodies into the narrative. I think I’m trusting myself throughout this whole competition, and I’m going to continue to do that into the fashion world. I am leaving the competition without any restraints from the show. I’m gonna do nothing but grow from the experience. And for my first whack at Project Runway, I think I killed it.

Describe your Project Runway experience in one word.

Showstopper.

Statue of rock n’ roll queen Tina Turner unveiled in Tennessee community where she grew up

by jummy84 September 27, 2025
written by jummy84

BROWNSVILLE, Tenn. — A 10-foot statue of rock n’ roll queen Tina Turner was unveiled Saturday in the rural Tennessee community where she grew up — before becoming a Grammy-winning singer, an electrifying stage performer, and one the world’s most recognizable and popular entertainers.

Statue of rock n’ roll queen Tina Turner unveiled in Tennessee community where she grew up

The statue was revealed during a ceremony at a park in Brownsville, located about an hour drive east of Memphis. The city of about 9,000 people is near Nutbush, the community where Turner went to school as a child. As a teen, she attended high school just steps from where the statue now stands.

The statue shows Turner with her signature wild hairdo and holding a microphone, as if she was singing on stage. It was designed by sculptor Fred Ajanogha, who said he tried to capture her flexibility of movement on stage, how she held the microphone with her index finger extended, and her hair style, which he compared to the “mane of a lion.”

Turner died May 24, 2023 at age 83 after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich. Her Grammy-winning singing career included the hit songs “Nutbush City Limits,” “Proud Mary,” “Private Dancer,” and “We Don’t Need Another Hero,” from the film “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.” Her movie credits also include “Tommy” and “Last Action Hero.”

Turner teamed with husband Ike Turner for hit records and live shows in the 1960s and ’70s. She survived her troubled marriage to succeed in middle age with the chart-topping “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” released in 1984.

Her admirers ranged from Mick Jagger to Beyoncé to Mariah Carey, and she was known as the “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

The unveiling was part of the annual Tina Turner Heritage Days, a celebration of her life growing up in rural Tennessee, before she moved away as a teenager. The statue was sculpted in clay by Ajanogha in Atlanta and cast in bronze by a West Tennessee foundry, and it took about a year to complete. It is 7 feet and 9 inches tall with a base of 2 feet, making it stand about 10 feet high .

Karen Cook said she traveled from Georgia to attend the event with her friend, a cousin of Turner’s, to honor the legendary performer.

“She’s a great artist, I love her music,” said Cook, 59. “My mom listened to her a lot. It’s a big deal and a great thing for the community to have Tina Turner in her small town.”

About 50 donors gave money for the statue, including Ford Motor Co., which donated $150,000. Ford is building an electric truck factory in nearby Stanton.

The statue stands near a museum honoring Turner at the the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center in Brownsville. The museum opened in 2014 inside the renovated Flagg Grove School, a one-room building where Turner attended classes in Nutbush. The school closed in the 1960s and was used as a barn before the dilapidated building was moved by tractor-trailer from Nutbush to Brownsville.

Queen Are “Having Conversations” About Sphere Residency

by jummy84 September 25, 2025
written by jummy84

Guitarist Brian May says the current incarnation of Queen is “having conversations” about playing a residency at Las Vegas’ futuristic venue Sphere.

Over the past 15 years, the legendary act has been performing as Queen + Adam Lambert, with classic members May and drummer Roger Taylor joined by the onetime American Idol contestant on vocals.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, May said he was very impressed by The Eagles’ residency at Sphere, which was just extended into January 2026.

”I was blown away,” said May of seeing The Eagles’ concert at the venue. “It’s one of the best shows I’ve ever seen in my life. Such a wonderful marriage of sound and wonderful music and incredible visual contact content. And yeah, it’s got my mind working.”

He added, “ I’m very keen on the Sphere … I sat there watching The Eagles, thinking, ‘We should do this. The stuff that we could bring to this would be stupendous.’ So, yeah, I would like to do it. We’re having conversations.”

The 78-year-old guitarist went on to say that Sphere would present an ideal situation for him, as he no longer envisions himself embarking on extensive tours at this point in his career.

“ I’ve had 50 years of touring, and there’s a part of me that thinks it’s enough,” explained May. “I don’t like the idea that you wake up in your hotel room and you’re trapped. I had a few experiences recently where stuff happened at home with my family and I could not go home. It got under my skin and I just thought, ‘I’m not sure if I want this anymore.’ I feel like I’ve given up my freedom too many times. So my feeling at the moment is I don’t want to tour as such. I still want to play shows. I still want to innovate.”

As part of Rolling Stone‘s larger cover story on the 50th anniversary on the classic song “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Roger Taylor also weighed in on the band’s future, saying, “I don’t think we’re done. And I don’t think we’re gonna say, you know, final farewell tour or whatever. ’Cause it never is, is it?”

bitchy | Times: Queen Camilla is also displeased with Charles & Harry’s meeting

Something which has been glossed over in the past week’s royal coverage is that Queen Camilla was not around for any of the royal maneuvers. Camilla has been hiding out in Balmoral (or Birkhall, more specifically) for the past month. She’s barely been seen after she went on a luxury vacation on a yacht with her family. Camilla did not join her husband in London last week for his day-trip, and she was not around when King Charles met Prince Harry at Clarence House. I think Charles set it up that way on purpose. Despite Camilla’s cozy relationship with the tabloids and the tabloids’ insistence that Charles would do anything to “protect” Camilla from Harry, Charles doesn’t consult with Camilla about every single thing and they spend a great deal of time apart. Which brings me to Roya Nikkhah’s exclusive in the Sunday Times. The piece is called: “Why Prince William can’t forgive Harry.” Roya was told the same thing that every other royal reporter was told, that William is absolutely furious about Harry (but too lazy to do much about anything). Check out the curious mention of Camilla in this piece though.

What will William make of his brother’s return? A royal source said William “has been very jolly all week” but publicly he has made no comment, preferring to focus on his own engagements. He will have kept a close eye on Harry’s coverage and the public’s reaction, though. While his younger brother bounced through balloon fights with children at the WellChild awards and splashy announcements of a £1.1m donation to Children in Need and more than £360,000 for the injured children of Gaza and Ukraine, William dutifully trudged from Berkshire to Lambeth to Cardiff for engagements which also championed young people and mental health awareness.

As much as Harry insists he remains committed to “a life of public service”, the reality is he walked away from the daily grind five years ago, with profound consequences for William and his family. Those wounds run deep.

For all Harry’s assaults on the royal family during Queen Elizabeth’s final years, the missiles fired in his memoir, Spare, the bombshells of the Sussexes’ Netflix documentary and all the interviews in between, friends say it is the fact there is no longer a wingman, a brother to share the present and future heavy load, that has always stung William most. He may never forgive him for the impact that has on Catherine, who is in remission from cancer, and Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, ten, and Prince Louis, seven, whose future responsibilities may have differed slightly if the Sussexes had stuck around.

As a close friend told me after Harry and Meghan left these shores, William “definitely feels the pressure now it’s all on him. His future looks different because of his brother’s choices. It’s not easy.”

Now the King has taken the first tentative step on the path towards reconciliation, the spotlight will turn to William, along with questions of whether he will, or should, do the same. There will be public commentary, expectation and hope that if a father considers forgiveness, why not a brother? But as another of William’s closest friends once told me, when it comes to relationships with the future king, “it is all about trust and loyalty”. William feels he has lost both with Harry and that may prove too difficult a roadblock to pass.

The King is now back at Balmoral for a few days before returning to London for the Duchess of Kent’s funeral on Tuesday, then hosting the Trumps at Windsor Castle from Wednesday on their state visit.

Charles will have briefed the Queen on his meeting with Harry, who has described her as “dangerous” and “a villain” who “left bodies in the street” in her quest to improve her public image. Camilla could be forgiven for not being jubilant about her husband’s reunion with Harry. As a royal source said: “He has been extremely unkind to her in print and in word and she doesn’t forgive easily.” And as a close friend of the King said: “The royal family make elephants look like they have short memories.” Some members of the family may, in time, forgive Harry for the damage and hurt they feel he has caused, but none of them will forget.

[From The Times]

It’s interesting to consider that Charles might have blown off Camilla and William’s “concerns” by meeting Harry. It’s also striking that this is yet another instance where Camilla and William are on the same side, the side of racism, jealousy, pettiness, hatred and press-briefings. As for the main thrust of this piece, William and his inability to forgive Harry, I actually love how the stories keep changing. There’s never been any consistency with William’s side – he’s been absolutely furious with Harry for years. Years before Netflix, years before the Oprah interview, years before Harry & Meghan dipped. It’s almost like William’s original grievance, the real breaking point between brothers, was the fact that Harry fell in love with Meghan, an accomplished, beautiful, multilingual, kind, gracious American woman. William has not been able to keep his sh-t together for a f–king decade because his brother married a bad bitch. Incidentally, Camilla also couldn’t stand it – it was like Diana all over again.
