Nicole Scherzinger, Grammy-nominated singer, performer and global entertainment icon, wore custom Gaurav Gupta Couture while performing at the FIFA World Cup 2026 Closing Ceremony alongside Robbie Williams and Laura Pausini. The trio debuted Desire, the official FIFA anthem, in a spectacular performance watched by millions around the world.
For the performance, Nicole wore a custom electric blue Gaurav Gupta Couture ensemble featuring a high-neck silhouette, a sheer corseted waist, hand-draped detailing, and the house’s signature sculptural pleated accent at the hip. Styled by Michael Philouze, it was finished with a dramatic flowing train and matching electric blue tights, the look was designed for movement and performance.
Speaking on dressing Nicole, couturier Gaurav Gupta said, “Nicole has an extraordinary stage presence that is both powerful and effortless. We wanted to create a silhouette that felt sculptural yet alive in motion, allowing the couture to move with her performance. It was an honour to see this custom creation become part of such an iconic global celebration.
Nicole’s appearance at the FIFA World Cup 2026 Closing Ceremony further reinforces Gaurav Gupta Couture’s presence at defining global cultural moments, where contemporary Indian couture continues to intersect with music, performance and international entertainment.
