दीपिका पादुकोण और रणवीर सिंह को मंगलवार की सुबह मुंबई में गेटवे ऑफ इंडिया के पास स्पॉट किया गया। इस दौरान इस कपल का हमेशा की तरह ही स्टाइलिश लुक नजर आया।
Like picking out a wedding dress, finding the perfect bridesmaid dress — one that works for each and every one of your closest friends and their individual bodies — can be difficult. After all, different colors, silhouettes, and fabrics look good on different people. The process is even trickier for your bridesmaids who are plus-size, many of whom have very few dress options to choose from to begin with. Those dresses that are available are rarely stocked in-store for them to try on, nor are they designed with plus-size bodies in mind.
That said, brands are starting to better serve plus-size bridesmaids. This year alone, a number of bridal retailers and brands have ventured into the plus-size fashion space, with BHLDN, Lulus, and Birdy Grey all introducing bridal and bridesmaid collections in extended sizes.
To make sure that every one of your bridesmaids finds a dress that works for them, we rounded up 15 plus-size dress options for your big day.

लॉकडाउन खत्म होने के बाद से एक ओर जहां सिलेब्स फिर से काम पर लौटे हैं, तो वहीं उनके फैशन सेंस में बड़ा चेंज देखा जा रहा है। अब ऐक्टर्स फैंसी क्लोद्स की जगह कैजुअल क्लोद्स में ज्यादा स्पॉट किए जा रहे हैं।
बॉलीवुड एक्ट्रेस और डांसर नोरा फतेही (Nora Fatehi) एक तरफ जहां अपने कातिलाना डांस मूव्स को लेकर लोगों की जुबां पर हैं तो वहीं दूसरी तरफ इस हसीना का किलर फैशन फैंस का सुख चैन लूटे बैठा है।
हिना खान और भूमि पेडनेकर, दोनों ही अपने स्टाइल के लिए जानी जाती हैं। इन अदाकाराओं के रेड कार्पेट से लेकर इवेंट के लुक्स कमाल के होते हैं। वैसे एयरपोर्ट फैशन के मामले में भी ये हसीनाएं काफी आगे रहती हैं और इसका सबूत लेटेस्ट पिक्स में देखने को मिल रहा है।
इस बात में कोई दोराय नहीं कि बदलते समय के अनुसार बॉलीवुड एक्ट्रेसेस का झुकाव सिंपल कपड़ों को छोड़ फस-फी सिल्हूट्स यानी तामझाम वाली ड्रेसेस की तरफ ज्यादा बढ़ा है। अब बी-टाउन हसीनाएं अपने स्टाइल और ग्लैमर को बरकरार रखने के लिए रेडी रेड कार्पेट्स से लेकर कैजुअल दिनों तक में ऐसे कपड़ों को पहन रही हैं, जिन्हें कैरी करने से पहले हम जैसे लोगों को 10 बार सोचना पड़ जाए। ऐसा ही कुछ हमें हाल-फिलहाल में एक्ट्रेस () के साथ देखने को मिला। मनीष मल्होत्रा से लेकर अबू जानी संदीप खोसला, अनामिका खन्ना, साक्षा एंड किनी, अनीता डोंगरे और अर्पिता मेहता को अपनी अलमारी का हिस्सा बना चुकीं कियारा आडवाणी को करीब से फॉलो करने वाले लोग इस बात को जानते होंगे कि एक्ट्रेस एथनिक से लेकर वेस्टर्न सिल्हूट्स को अच्छे से कैरी करने में माहिर हैं। हां, वो बात अलग है कि हमेशा सिंपल लेकिन एलिगेंट लुक्स से लोगों को दीवाने बनाने वाली कियारा को जब डिज़ाइनर मनीष मल्होत्रा की बोल्ड साड़ी में देखा गया तो हर कोई उन्हें देख दीवाना हो गया। दरअसल, कियारा ने अपनी अपकमिंग फिल्म 'इंदू की जवानी' के गाने 'हीलें टूट गईं' में फेमस फैशन डिज़ाइनर मनीष मल्होत्रा की डिज़ाइन की हुई गोल्डन सीक्वेंस प्री-स्टिच्ड साड़ी को चुना था, जिसमें एक्ट्रेस का स्टाइलिश अंदाज़ देखते ही बन रहा था। डिज़ाइनर की इस प्री-स्टिच्ड साड़ी में एक प्लीटेड स्कर्ट थी, जिसे दुपट्टे से बने पल्लू से जोड़ा गया था। यही नहीं, साड़ी को दिलचस्प ट्विस्ट देने के लिए मैचिंग का स्ट्रेपी वाला ब्लाउज़ भी था, जो एक्ट्रेस के टोन्ड मिड्रिफ (कमर के आस-पास का हिस्सा) को उभारने का काम कर रहा था। बात करें कियारा आडवाणी के ओवरऑल लुक की तो इस हैंडमेड कस्टम सीक्वेंस साड़ी में सोने के तारों से बनी झिलमिलाती कढ़ाई को उकेरा गया था, जो दूर से ही लोगों का ध्यान अपनी तरफ खींच रही थी। यही नहीं, अपने ओवरऑल लुक को ग्लैमरस रखने के लिए कियारा ने सटल मेकअप के साथ, न्यूट्रल-टोन्ड लिप्स, स्मोकी आईज, बीमिंग हाइलाइटर और बालों को वेवी कर्ल्स में स्टाइल किया था, जिसके साथ हाथों में डिज़ाइनर एमरल्ड ग्रीन क्लच एक्ट्रेस के ओवरऑल लुक में चार चांद लगा रहा था। जैसे ही कियारा की इस लुक में तस्वीरें सामने आईं वैसे ही उनके चाहने वाले अपनी प्रतिक्रिया देने से पीछे नहीं रहे। जहां कियारा को देख कुछ फैंस 'जहर' 'उफ्फ-उफ्फ' जैसे कमेंट्स करने लगे तो वहीं कइयों को एक्ट्रेस का यह लुक रास नहीं आया। हालांकि, यह पहली बार नहीं है जब कियारा ने यूं साड़ी पहनकर हर किसी को अपना दीवाना बनाया हो इससे पहले भी एक्ट्रेस अर्पिता मेहता की डिज़ाइन की हुई ब्लैक एंड वाइट पोल्का डॉट साड़ी में नजर आ चुकी हैं।
I was in the sixth grade when I got my first pair of UGG boots. I went with my mom, who was 43-years-old at the time, and also purchasing her first pair. Hers were sand and tall, while mine were chestnut and short. And for the next five Chicago winters, we wore them almost every day — and had the ice melt stains to prove it. I wore my UGGs to school, to cheerleading practice, and, as haunting Facebook photos show, on my eighth-grade class trip to Washington, D.C. I wasn’t alone. Almost every girl on the trip wore them, most often paired with yoga pants and the same tie-dye sweatshirt we all bought at the airport. As most girls who were teens in 2008 will tell you, UGGs were the epitome of style.
In the early 2000s, UGGs were ubiquitous in the spotlight, too. Paris Hilton wore them, as did her Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie. So did stars like Beyoncé and Britney Spears. Models weren’t immune either, with Kate Moss famously being photographed wearing an extra dirty pair in 2003. To this day, I think of Sienna Miller wearing folded-over UGG boots with low-rise jeans, a white T-shirt, and a cropped cardigan — and a black Motorola RAZR! — in 2005.
My interest in the boot waned when I entered high school. While there, I started reading fashion magazines religiously, most of which were calling them “ugly,” and began experimenting with clothes that weren’t also on everyone else. I lay my UGGs to rest. The celebrity sightings tapered off over the years as well. Sure, Shia LaBeouf wore a Pennsylvania Senior Games T-shirt with joggers and UGGs in 2014; Pharrell Williams donned UGGs on the red carpet that same year; and Diana Ross wore UGGs and a sweatsuit (how 2020 of her) in 2017, but, otherwise, they fell off of my radar as the footwear of choice.
That is, until 2020, when the prospect of quarantining in my Brooklyn apartment for an undetermined amount of time led me to reconsider my ban on what people in fashion view as a divisive shoe.
Two weeks into my solo lockdown in March, I caved and ordered a pair of UGG’s Classic Mini IIs in black. I wasn’t shopping for anything else, but something about a fresh, comfortable pair of UGG boots prompted me. When the box arrived, I put them straight on, and just like that, I was 11 years old again, walking out of Nordstrom with my chestnut UGGs already on my feet, the shoes I walked into the store wearing tucked away in a shopping bag. In addition to my trusty pair of New Balance 990v5s, which I ran in before anyone was up, they were the only shoes I wore until summer hit. (Yes, I’m aware that 990s aren’t designed for running, and yes, I still wear them for that purpose.) Even then, with my AC blaring, I sometimes still put my UGGs on.
Maybe it’s the memory of them that’s been ingrained in my mind from years of daily wear, or perhaps the comforting feeling of wearing what feel like slippers all day (even when working), but something about UGGs keeps them close to my heart. To find out if others, too, feel the same continued kinship to their UGG boots as I do, I posed the question on Instagram. “My high school boyfriend bought me my first and only pair in ‘09. Somehow they are still alive in my closet,” said Kathryn Zahorak from Los Angeles. “Someone got me a pair of UGG slippers and they changed my life,” wrote Sam Ehrlich from New York. Karsen Schafer-Jünger, also from New York, said that she still remembers when, as a ‘00s kid, she “was surprised to find a pair on Christmas morning” because her family was struggling with money. “They were chocolate brown classics and it was a BIG deal,” she told me. She, too, bought a new pair of UGGs recently: red Mini IIs just like mine. And those were just a few of the highlights. (Naturally, my childhood friends had to remind me of the D.C. photos, as if the memory of them wasn’t still crystal clear in my head.)
Rising interest in UGGs isn’t exclusive to my Instagram bubble. For the quarter ending on September 30, Deckers, UGG’s parent company, reported a 2.5% increase in brand net sales for UGG, with $415.1 million compared to $404.9 million for the same period in 2019. On fashion search engine Lyst, UGG’s slippers and boots are two of the top-searched products for the Californian brand of 2020, with each garnering 201,000 and 90,500 average monthly searches, respectively. Moreover, Lyst recently reported that UGG slippers were saved to individual wish lists more than 10,000 times in the days leading up to Black Friday.
In September, model Emily Ratajkowski was photographed in New York City wearing a leather blazer with a lime green hoodie (also by UGG), bike shorts, and chestnut-colored Classic Mini IIs. A month later, fellow model Irina Shayk wore a hot pink pair of the brand’s Ultra Mini boots, which she paired with one of 2020’s biggest trends: a tie-dye loungewear set. The next day, Shayk, again, stepped out in her UGGs, this time in a black sports-bra-and-leggings set, a teddy jacket from UGG, and tiny sunglasses. The looks caught headlines. “Irina Shayk Joined the Growing List of Celebs Who Love These New UGG Boots” was splayed across Who What Wear’s homepage, while Grazia’s coverage was titled, “Irina Shayk Is Single-Handedly Bringing Back The UGG Boot.”
Even before the pandemic made comfort wear the year’s biggest fashion trend, the brand was en route for a “comeback” (some would argue that they never went anywhere). In the last four years alone, UGG has collaborated with some of this decade’s most prominent and innovative names. For fall ‘18, the brand joined forces with Japanese luxury brand Sacai. A year later, bicoastal indie brand Eckhaus Latta and New York streetwear label Heron Preston both announced collaborations with UGG. (All three collaborations sold out, as have the pieces resulting from most of their other partnerships.) Jeremy Scott, Philip Lim, Y/Project, Bape, and Kith have all, too, joined forces with the brand in the past.
This June, three more brands — Telfar, Molly Goddard, and Feng Chen Wang — joined UGG’s long list of collaborators. “I find UGG really sexy,” said designer Telfar Clemens — who first deconstructed the classic UGG boot for the brand’s fall ‘11 show — said in a press release. “I’ve always been obsessed with a certain kind of ubiquity and when something really unique ends up on everybody.” Unique, sure, but the design is simple, and, for the most part, unchanging. UGGs are shearling boots and slippers, designed to be worn post-surf, and adapted for a lot more. That’s it. So why did they become a worldwide phenomenon — one with a handle on everyone, from millionaire celebrities to teenage girls? Perhaps the answer is uncomplicated as timing.
Like Clemens said, there’s something appealing about an item that everyone knows. Maybe during a year when nothing is familiar, when wearing heels is a distant memory, they were bound to return full force. Ugly or not, I, for one, am all too willing to welcome them with open arms. And pair them with a shearling UGG x Telfar shopping bag while I’m at it.

Snagging an air fryer for 50% off is fun and all (thanks to TikTok), but this Black Friday, we’re focusing our attention on a category that feels even more relevant in lockdown than cooking appliances: jewelry. Hear us out: Those of us who spend a majority of our day hopping from Zoom meeting to Zoom meeting know that jewelry is the easiest way to make a look appear polished, even if you’re wearing loungewear. An Entireworld sweatsuit? Just add your trusty gold hoops. A button-down and track shorts? Harry Styles’ pearl necklace is an easy add-on. But, after nine months spent on Zoom, our jewelry collection could use some new pieces. That’s where Black Friday jewelry sales come in.
Right now, thousands of retailers are majorly marking down their items for the biggest sale day of the year — many of which offer deals on jewelry, from chain necklaces and signet rings to colorful baubles. But while we love online shopping more than anyone, scrolling endlessly through lists of sales can feel overwhelming. So, to make upping your Zoom fashion game an easy feat this sale season, we went ahead and rounded up 17 of the best jewelry sales going on now.
From brands sold at Nordstrom like Lizzie Fortunado and Zoë Chicco that are up to 50% off from now until December 1 to small, indie brands like Wolf Circus and Missoma that are knocking 20% and 25% off, respectively, in the days ahead, there’s certainly something special for everyone to shop in the slideshow ahead.
