A reality star has become the president of the most powerful nation in the world, Angelina Jolie broke up with Brad Pitt and your Rs 1000 note is now as good as Monopoly money. It's safe to say that the world is going crazy.
And with the wedding season approaching at breakneck speed, there's no reason why brides can't take the road less travelled too.
Proving just that is Ileana D'Cruz, posing for the November bridal special created by online retailer Pernia's Pop-Up Shop. Ileana plays the 'new-age' bride — the unapologetic modern woman who's done with conventions and has her own take on a traditional wedding wardrobe. In case you want to say goodbye to the age-old bridal diktat, then flip through the gallery for all the inspiration you need.
