A Nepalese-born designer based in Lincolnshire has seen her sustainable gowns worn by several celebrities, including an actress at the London red carpet premiere of Tom Cruise’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’.
Multi-award-winning designer Sanyukta Shrestha, who is from Hagworthingham near Horncastle, attended the premiere event on May 19.
Egyptian/Swiss actress Yasmina El-Abd wore one of Sanyukta’s luxurious sustainable gowns as Tom Cruise and his co-stars joined His Royal Highness Prince William and HRH Princess Kate at the red carpet event.

She grabbed the attention on the red carpet with her yellow Sanyukta Shrestha gown made from organic hemp and bamboo and hand weaved in Nepal.
She was in attendance with her agent – Abi Kingsley-Parker of Boston-based AKP Management – who also dressed in Sanyuka’s eco wear.

Yasmina told Sanyukta: “I felt like a princess wearing your beautiful sustainable creation, Sanyukta.
“Your brand is the living proof that we can enjoy the finest things in life while empowering others and staying kind to our planet. Your warmth and generosity are something else! Love you.”

Sanyukta’s evening wear has been worn by several celebrities, including Victoria’s Secret supermodel Candice Swanepoel, American girl band Fifth Harmony, and sopranos Natalie Coyle and Amy Nuttall.
They have been worn at red carpet events including the BAFTAs and Oscars, while Sanyukta also sported her own design – a black sustainable vegan gown – during the recent premiere event in London.

Her sustainable bridal collection, which was first launched in 2011, is also now well-placed in the UK and in Northern Ireland through the bridal stockists, as well as the brand’s own flagship shops in London and Lincolnshire.

Sanyukta Shrestha’s collection uses “luxurious organic fair-trade fabrics that conserve a century old traditional Nepalese craft fussed with flattering shapes, elegance and individuality”.
The Lincolnshire mum, and London College of Fashion graduate, launched her own company of the same name 11 years ago and has been recognised by the media as “the Greta of the wedding world”.

Works to replace worn out carriageway on A17 Washway Road, as well as sections of other nearby local roads, will start in late July.
The start date for the project is Monday 25 July, with the scheme expected to last for up to six weeks (subject to weather).
As part of the works, overnight closures will be in place in the following areas from 6pm to 6am, weekday evenings only:
A17 Washway Road (between a point 160 metres north Middle Marsh Road junction and a point 260 metres south of the B1357 Common Road junction)
Middle Marsh Road (at A17 junction)*
Red Cow Drove (at A17 junction)*
B1357 Common Road (between A17 junction & a point 60 metres south)
*Please note that Middle Marsh Road and Red Cow Drive will not be closed at the same time.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “This section of the A17 near Moulton is nearing the end of its serviceable life, so we’ve taken the decision to rebuild the worst areas.
“This will involve removing the current carriageway and replacing it with 6,000 tonnes of tarmac and stone.
“This six-week scheme will no doubt cause some disruption, but we’ll be working to minimise the impact by only carrying the works out overnight and maintaining access for residents and the emergency services throughout the project.”
Works to replace worn out carriageway on the A151 Dozens Bank in West Pinchbeck will start in late July.
The start date for the project is Monday 25 July, with the scheme expected to last for up to three weeks (subject to weather).
As part of the project, a full 24/7 closure of Dozens Bank will be in place from Crown Hall Farm to Lake Ross Caravan Park.
The diversion route for the closure will be via A151 to Bourne / A15 to Market Deeping roundabout / A1175 to A1175-A16 Applegreen roundabout / A16 to A16-A151 roundabout / A151 to West Pinchbeck, and vice versa. A local diversion will also be in place for Clay Drove.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “Although we had to postpone this important project last year, I’m really glad to say works to improve Dozens Bank are now planned to start next month.
“This will involve removing the current carriageway and replacing it with 1,600 tonnes of tarmac and stone.
“When finished, these improvements will make travelling the A151 much safer and more comfortable for all road users.”
The county council carried out temporary repairs to Dozens Bank in October 2022 to resume two-way movement and it easier for people to get around.
