Useful, yes. Very Gen Z? Not quite. They want one with a point of view, something that can start a conversation on Instagram, […]
When Dua Lipa dropped two words on Instagram on June 20, 2026, “Mr. & Mrs.”, the internet forgot to breathe.

The rings, the rosewater, the relatives who’ve traveled great distances just to witness this moment, and then, inevitably, the question that keeps you up three nights before: what do I wear?

Just when we thought embellishments had won, florals came back and stole the spotlight. After years of being eclipsed by heavy embroidery, all-over threadwork, and maximalist embellishment, the floral printed saree has found its way back to the spotlight, and Bollywood has been doing the heavy lifting.
