When Dua Lipa dropped two words on Instagram on June 20, 2026, “Mr. & Mrs.”, the internet forgot to breathe. What followed was a series of photographs by legendary lensman David Sims that confirmed what the fashion world had been quietly anticipating: this was not going to be your average celebrity wedding wardrobe. From a sun-drenched Ibiza bachelorette […]
There’s a particular kind of pressure that comes with dressing for your own haldi. It’s a daytime function, usually outdoors, with sunlight doing things to fabric you never anticipated, a crowd of people photographing you from every angle, and the very real possibility that turmeric will find its way onto your outfit whether you invited it or […]
For the past few seasons, bridal fashion has whispered. Quiet luxury took over, with brides leaning into muted palettes, minimal embellishment, and the kind of understated elegance that practically apologizes for taking up space. It was beautiful, sure.

Intimate weddings shift the focus from grand spectacle back to the couple.

The word Akshaya in Sanskrit means “that which never […]
Over the years, Bollywood has shaped not just our everyday style and festive wardrobes, but bridal fashion too. From Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s regal red lehenga, steeped in rich gold zari embroidery in Jodhaa Akbar to Alia Bhatt’s mesmerising mustard lehenga by Manish Malhotra, detailed with metallic accents, on-screen bridal looks have long served as inspiration for real-life wedding trousseaus. […]
Less weight, more meaning: 2026 bridal trends are rewriting the rules of wedding style. Flipping through my mum’s wedding album, I can only imagine what bridal fashion looked like about five decades back. The late 1980s bridal fashion had a quiet confidence of its own: a peacock blue Katan Banarasi featuring a purple border, delicately splattered with silver Butti work, paired with a matching blue.

If Indian weddings are known for their grandeur, these designers are the reason why. Indian bridal fashion is a world of its own, where craftsmanship meets couture and maximalism is celebrated unapologetically. From hand-embroidered heirloom lehengas to experimental drapes that blur the line between tradition and modernity, Indian wedding designers continue to set global benchmarks. What […]
You know the internet will go abuzz with gossip when the Sharif household goes out to drop their wedding pictures. Needless to say, Shanzeh Ali Rohail did exactly that with her bridal choices.
