On February 4, 2026, ELLE India marked three decades of defining style, feminism, and culture with a spectacular 30th-anniversary Fashion Soirée. The evening was a masterclass in refined elegance, focusing on a curated, intimate atmosphere that reflected the magazine’s journey from its debut in 1996 to its current status as a cultural titan.
The red carpet was a testament to ELLE’s enduring influence, featuring rising stars and icons like Medha Rana and Renee Sen, alongside the February cover star, Rakul Preet Singh, who perfectly embodies the modern, global Indian woman. Supported by contemporary skincare brand Dab to Fab, the night celebrated the ELLE Archive, a year-long tribute revisiting iconic covers, while simultaneously signaling the brand’s next grand evolution.
The 30th anniversary of ELLE India is not a look back; it is an inflection point. Amidst the flashbulbs and silk, a new narrative was unfolding, one that takes the iconic ELLE spirit off the printed page and into the very foundations of the Indian skyline. As the exclusive technical representative for ELLE Branded Real Estate worldwide ARQUINAUT CEO, Gregory Martinez De Riquelme, explained “In a market that already celebrates ELLE as a symbol of luxury and self-expression, our vision is a landmark that redefines Couture Living” The 30th anniversary is not a look back; it is an inflection point for a brand that has spent 30 years understanding the Indian soul.
