बॉलिवुड में कई ऐसी फिल्में हैं जो साउथ की फिल्मों की हिन्दी रीमेक हैं। वहीं कई स्टार्स हैं जो साउथ फिल्म इंडस्ट्री के साथ ही बीटाउन मूवीज में भी दिखाई देते हैं। यही वजह है कि ऑडियंस भी दोनों ही सिनेमा के सितारों को काफी पसंद करती है और सोशल मीडिया पर ढेरों लाइक्स व तारीफों से भरे कॉमेंट्स करती है। ऐसा ही तब हुआ था जब साउथ की सुपरस्टार सामंथा अक्किनेनी बॉलिवुड की सुपरस्टार करीना कपूर के फैशन को फॉलो करती नजर आई थीं। दरअसल, करीना कपूर ने कुछ समय पहले ऑर्गैंजासिल्क की एक बेहद खूबसूरत साड़ी पहनी थी। इस साड़ी का कलर लाइट ब्लू था और उस पर बर्ड्स, क्लाउड और प्लांट्स तक का प्रिंट देखने को मिला था। इसके साथ करीना ने वन शोल्डर ब्लाउज पहना था, जो स्टाइल स्टेटमेंट को और बढ़ाता दिखा। हालांकि, असली अट्रैक्शन तो साड़ी के पल्ले के फ्रंट पर लिखा 'बेबो' था, जो करीना का निक नेम भी है। करीना कपूर की इस साड़ी को पहने तस्वीरें जैसे ही सामने आईं, फैन्स उन पर फिदा हो गए। लोगों ने साड़ी के साथ करीना के सिंपल हेयरस्टाइल, ईयररिंग्स और नो-मेकअप लुक के परफेक्ट कॉम्बिनेशन की भी तारीफ की। उन्होंने इस लुक को स्टाइल और इनोसेंस का मिक्स बताया। लोग इस लुक को भूल पाते कि इसी दौरान सामंथा अक्किनेनी भी बिल्कुल ऐसी ही साड़ी और स्टाइल में नजर आईं। समांथा ने अपने लिए बेबी पिंक कलर की ऑर्गैंजा सिल्क की साड़ी चुनी थी। इसे उन्होंने हॉल्टर नेकलाइन वाले ब्लाउज के साथ मैच किया था। समांथा ने जूलरी में सिर्फ गोल्डन स्टड्स चुने थे। करीना की साड़ी के फ्रंट पर जहां उनका निक नेम था, तो वहीं समांथा ने अपनी साड़ी पर 'जानू' लिखवाया था, जो उनके फिल्म के किरदार से जुड़ा नाम था। यानी इस ऐक्ट्रेस ने साड़ी को ही प्रमोशन का सहारा बना लिया था। सिर्फ साउथ ही नहीं बल्कि हिन्दी फिल्म की ऑडियंस ने भी समांथा के लुक को काफी पसंद किया और उन्हें भी सोशल मीडिया पर काफी तारीफें मिली थीं। वैसे कुछ लोगों ने दोनों की तस्वीरों को एक ही फ्रेम में लेते हुए इनकी तुलना भी की थी, लेकिन इस बात में कोई शक नहीं कि दोनों ही अदाकाराएं सिल्क साड़ी लुक में सुंदर नजर आई थीं।
For most of us, with the exception of secondhand finds and sale deals, items from luxury labels like Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Chanel are aspirational rather than attainable. But ever since the pandemic began earlier this year, there’s been a sort of humbling effect in the fashion industry. No one label has been immune to the effects of COVID-19 — which include decreased consumer spending, shut-down factories and distribution centers, and store closures — and every brand, from Urban Outfitters to Loewe, has had to adapt in order to stay afloat amidst the uncertainty. One way that luxury fashion labels have responded to the changes is by interacting more with consumers, not just by engaging with them online but also by inviting them to participate, with social media campaigns like #AtHome.
At the beginning of April, back when New York City was four weeks into quarantine, French fashion label Jacquemus, helmed by social media maven Simon Porte Jacquemus, kick-started an Instagram campaign centered around recreating the brand’s iconic asymmetric heels using products found at home. He named the campaign #JacquemusAtHome and went on to repost dozens of worthwhile submissions — which employed everything from avocados and lemons to toilet paper rolls and sponges — to the brand’s account, which at publish time has more than 2.2 million followers.

Next came #WangFromHome, a “White T-shirt Contest” that encouraged the brand’s followers to customize their white T-shirts by ripping, pinning, tying them, etc. During the campaign, Alexander Wang went live with model Behati Prinsloo via his Instagram series #StayingInWithAlex to demonstrate how he makes a perfect T-shirt. Then, on May 3, Wang, accompanied by Kaia Gerber, chose two winners and went on to send them handpicked packages full of his favorite goodies, each worth up to $1,000.
In the five weeks since, more interactive at-home campaigns have come from the likes of Bottega Veneta, Isabel Marant, Roxanne Assoulin, R13, and more. One from Christopher John Rogers shows influencers taking the brand’s avant-garde and colorful gowns and styling them for their daily activities, which range from drinking tea to arranging a floral bouquet and eating noodles, while using #CJRatHome.

Non-luxury fashion brands like Urban Outfitters, Free People, and Building Block are also creating challenges with the hashtags #AtHomeWithUO, #DressedInFP, and #bbbagsathome, respectively. Unlike their luxury counterparts, though, these campaigns are more literal, showing what you could look like if you purchased a matching sweatsuit, pair of jeans, or a handbag — items that are considerably more affordable and realistic for one’s wallet right now.
Marketing on social media is hardly a new method for getting customers talking. But for long-standing brands that were previously able to utilize just their name to maintain sales, COVID-19 has been a kick in the ass to get more digitally involved and connect with an audience on a more meaningful level. “There’s an extraordinary opportunity for brands to explore more broadly their aura beyond products,” Patrizio Miceli, head of creative agency Al Dente, told WWD; Miceli reps luxury labels like Louis Vuitton and Emilio Pucci. “A new relationship is emerging between brands and their audience, and communication has to be much stronger. There should be less focus on products, and more on services,” he said.
According to a survey published by Optimum, roughly 38% of US adults plan to spend less on fashion and clothing items as the financial burdens caused by COVID-19 continue to rise. At the same time, a fourth of those questioned aged 18 to 34 actually plan to increase their spending on fashion items in the wake of coronavirus, making it all the more important for luxury brands to focus on younger consumers — younger consumers who engage with brands via platforms like Instagram.
“For luxury houses, the big change will be how to help people fill their time in new ways,” Miceli says. If shopping for extravagant shoes and black tie gowns wasn’t in the cards for you before coronavirus, it almost certainly isn’t during it. You do, however, have all the time in the world to recreate these coveted fashion items #athome with an equally as sought after roll of toilet paper. If you’re lucky, you might just get a $1,000 goodie bag out of it.

Fashion and retail are among the many industries suffering a massive blow to business due to the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to indefinitely closing the doors of brick-and-mortar locations, retailers have been forced to furlough employees, push aggressive markdowns on merchandise to encourage consumers to keep spending, and, in the unfortunate case of companies like J.Crew and Neiman Marcus, declare bankruptcy in the hopes of staying afloat. But a surprising lifeline has been tossed in the direction of small and medium-sized fashion businesses, by the mega online retailer Amazon.
The cyber giant’s style-oriented platform, Amazon Fashion, announced the launch of its partnership with Vogue and the Council of Fashion Designers of America as part of a multi-pronged effort to help struggling businesses. The initiative was kicked off with an immediate monetary contribution of $500,000 to A Common Thread — the story-telling initiative across Condé Nast platforms to raise awareness and funds to support the American fashion community. The collaboration, which is called Common Threads: Vogue x Amazon Fashion, also includes a digital storefront dedicated to providing designers with access to Amazon’s vast customer base and advanced fulfillment network.
“I’m thrilled to announce this partnership, and want to thank Amazon Fashion, not only for its generous support of ‘A Common Thread,’ but also for so quickly sharing its resources to aid American designers affected by the pandemic,” Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour said in a statement. Wintour also serves as Condé Nast’s U.S. Artistic Director and Global Content Advisor. “While there isn’t one simple fix for our industry, which has been hit so hard, I believe this is an important step in the right direction.”
This means the digital marketplace known for its viral puffer coats and oft-irresistible cheap style finds is now home to a slew of fresh inventory from lust-worthy labels like Batsheva, Brock Collection, Derek Lam 10 Crosby, and Tabitha Simmons. These are just a handful of the 20 brands ready and waiting for you to sift through their high-end wares via Amazon. It’s not the first time some of the industry’s biggest players have gotten involved with the retailer — just a few months ago, Diane von Furstenberg celebrated International Women’s Day by shining a light on the site’s smaller, women-led businesses — but the Common Threads collab is definitely one of the largest for Amazon Fashion so far.
“We’re honored to partner with Vogue and the CFDA to provide immediate support and to extend our services to help these brands reach tens of millions of new customers,” said Christine Beauchamp, President of Amazon Fashion. “Fashion is a priority for our highly engaged customer base, and we are dedicated to serving as an innovative destination for both well-known and emerging brands to grow their businesses.”

Since its 1995 debut, cult comedy Clueless has been responsible for many things. Chief among them: launching the careers of Alicia Silverstone, Brittany Murphy, and Paul Rudd and spawning some of the most oft-quoted lines from the ‘90s (“As if!", “You’re a virgin who can’t drive,” etc.). Very loosely based on Jane Austen’s novel Emma, the Amy Heckerling-directed film follows Cher Horowitz (Silverstone), a rich and popular Beverly Hills high-schooler, as she befriends a clumsy new student Tai (Murphy), conducts makeovers, and plays matchmaker with varying degrees of success — all before realizing her love for her ex-stepbrother Josh (Rudd).
But perhaps Clueless’ biggest legacy is its fashion. The looks, created by costume designer Mona May, have inspired more than two generations to don plaid yellow skirt suits, numerous fashion collections paying homage to the film’s stylish protagonist, and trends that are still having a moment almost 25 years later.
Of course, fashion is cyclical, so it’s no surprise that a quintessentially ‘90s trend like plaid — popularized by the grunge subculture’s thrift-shop aesthetic before turning mainstream — has made a comeback in recent years. Nor that slip dresses, a timeless wardrobe staple, never went out of style to begin with.
Still, when upon my most recent Clueless viewing last month, I spotted Cher’s tiny bag in a mall scene for the first time, I couldn’t help but note how on-trend it appeared. Looking barely big enough for a credit card — let alone a flip phone from that era — it may as well have been the crochet-savvy grandmother of one of Jacquemus’ popular Le Chiquito bags. As for the sheer trench that Cher layers over her Calvin Klein strapless dress, the one her father famously refers to as “underwear,” that was the same style I was waiting to come back in stock for most of last fall. I was totally buggin’!
After watching the movie with an eye for the trends that are still popular today, ahead, the six styles that prove that Cher was always a trendsetter.
Organza Tops
A master in layering, Cher gives her basic tanks and slip dresses a flair by throwing sheer button-downs and trenches over them. Organza blouses and trenches had a huge moment at the end of last year and, if we are to trust most recent collections, aren’t slowing down anytime soon.Photo: CBS via Getty Images.

Even before the pandemic reignited everyone’s love for hair accessories, scrunchies, padded headbands, and barrettes have made a strong comeback on their own. But it was Cher who unabashedly — some might even say iconically — paired a youthful version of the latter with a sexy red mini dress for her “date” with Christian.Photo: CBS via Getty Images.

Tiny Bags
Cher’s teeny-tiny bag doesn’t get a lot of time on screen — and that’s a shame. Sage-colored and featuring a top handle that Cher casually holds it by, it’s a style that’s perfectly in line with her cutesy aesthetic and fashion’s frequent affinity for style over function. Despite the very many essays questioning the micro bag’s purpose in the last year, designers have sent down versions of the style as recently as the February runways — and we’re still fans.Photo: CBS via Getty Images.

Created in the ‘40s, in response to wartime fabric shortages, the babydoll was originally intended as nightwear. But as we’ve seen most recently with the nightgown trend, a lot of sleepwear eventually becomes suitable (and fashionable) to wear outside the house. By the ‘90s, babydoll dresses shed their nighttime history and transformed into casual dresses, often in floral patterns as depicted on Cher. Two decades later, there are whole brands dedicated to the aesthetic.Photo: CBS via Getty Images.

Feather Sleeves
In what might be fashion’s most iconic film quote, Cher tells a robber who wants her feather-adorned Azzedine Alaia jacket, “You don't understand this is an Alaia… It's like a totally important designer.” But this isn’t the only important piece that features fluffy sleeves. In another scene, Cher showcases a knit cardigan with feather cuffs. Fast-forward to today, and you can find this sleeve detailing on pieces ranging from pajamas (Sleeper has made a name for themselves thanks to its popular styles) to button-downs.Photo: CBS via Getty Images.

Matching Sets
While Cher’s most iconic look is a plaid yellow suit, she wears other matching skirt sets throughout the film. With co-ords on the rise again, retro patterns like plaid, argyle, and houndstooth have particularly been trending, as well as two-pieces in knit materials. Photo: CBS via Getty Images.

When did you last wear a bra? Perhaps you’re perturbed by the question – you have one on right now, of course. Or has it become occasion wear, slung on for Zoom meetings, date nights at the dining table, or, thrillingly, just for the sake of it when venturing into the outside world for groceries. Maybe, like me, you’re not quite sure when you last put one on and couldn’t even say where most of yours now are – I think at least three of mine have been inadvertently kicked under the bed to gather dust and cat hair.
The question of bras in lockdown has been a contentious one. Tweets abound from those enjoying quarantine sans bra, struggling to imagine a return to a fully dressed, partially underwired world. A mild rash of articles based on disproven scientific claims has emerged, questioning whether prolonged periods of bralessness will lead to breast sagging (short answer: no, the only real worry is for those with fuller busts whose bras offer significant support and help to ease back pain). Elsewhere statistics point to some fascinating – and contrary – consumer behaviors. Lingerie sales are rocketing: lacy and racy varieties have enjoyed a significant leap, while sales of Calvin Klein’s soft cup style at Selfridges have risen by 70%.
For those of us not using this time to stock up on underwear, the question of bras, or bralessness, is also a question of nipples. Besides hoicking up and holding one’s boobs in place, and generally shaping the silhouette, a bra also tends to hide one’s nipples (unless it is made from a very sheer or flimsy fabric). To go without is to accept that one’s areolae may be partially visible. That shouldn’t really be a big deal, but sometimes, for a number of longstanding and gendered reasons, it still is. Eight years after Lina Esco spearheaded the Free the Nipple movement, a woman’s bare breast is still censored on Instagram – an obvious double standard that only highlights the platform’s binary and outdated approach to gender.
Much of this contention is the result of the various loaded meanings bestowed on breasts throughout history. Whether maternal and life-giving, brimming with erotic potential, or subject to highly uncomfortable objectification, they have never been a particularly neutral body part. A cursory look at representations of the nipple in popular culture tells a conflicting tale of motherhood and sexuality, with an eclectic range of references: Renaissance portraits of the Madonna and Child; paintings of 18th-century French aristocracy, nipples peeking out above embellished necklines; images of catwalk models swathed in translucent fabric; Ellen Von Unwerth’s highly sexualized photoshoots.
Let’s return for a moment to those 18th-century dresses. At many points throughout this complicated history, the nipple has formed a consciously chosen element of an outfit – to decorative and political ends. Émilie du Châtelet, born in 1706, was a natural philosopher and mathematician who is now remembered – somewhat frustratingly – for her role as Voltaire’s mistress. She was also known contemporaneously for her penchant for low-cut dresses that revealed her nipples, which she rouged to accentuate their appearance – the same attention we might give our eyes or cheeks today. She wasn’t an anomaly either. The fashion for tight bodices that cantilevered breasts into a position where the nipple might be visible proved popular. In an era where breasts didn’t always have the immediately eroticized connotations that they do today, they formed an intriguing accessorizing possibility.
Sometimes, their desired effect was obvious. Pauline Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon, was born in 1780 and had a taste for scandal. Not only did she allegedly commission a gold cup in the shape of her breast – a truly artisanal form of exhibitionism – but she too rouged her nipples and is said to have reveled in others’ responses to her sheer dresses.
Ping forward several centuries and the nipple took on another meaning. Protests at the Miss America pageant in 1968 have since entered the realms of the mythic, marking the moment when bra-burning became associated with the feminist movement. However, this is a tired cliché rather than accurate history. Although protestors outside the event did throw items which they saw as symbolic of female oppression – including bras, makeup, and high heels – into a ‘freedom trash can’, they were never set alight as often alleged. The 1960s did spur a rejection of bras within the women’s liberation movement though, given their discomfort and uneasy association with patriarchal restriction. In this context, a nipple glimpsed beneath clothing could be read as a fierce refusal of propriety. To others, it became a new kind of fashion statement. Sixties hippyish ideals and ’70s loose silhouettes (not to mention disco fever) embraced bralessness, suggesting a blithe, undone glamour that was epitomized by the likes of Jane Birkin, Bianca Jagger, and Marisa Berenson.
It was in the ’90s, though, that nipples really went mainstream. Madonna famously bared hers in a Jean-Paul Gaultier harness at the designer’s 1992 amfAR fundraiser in Los Angeles. Kate Moss regularly wore sheer slips and barely-there dresses, and plenty of her supermodel peers walked in shows for YSL, John Galliano, Prada, and Alexander McQueen (among others), their breasts either partially or fully revealed. Following on from her ‘Tits’ T-shirt of the ’70s – now part of the collection at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art – Vivienne Westwood continued to nod to the historic eras she regularly raided for inspiration, designing low-cut bodices that squashed the wearer’s boobs into the revealing territory of those 18th-century rouged nipple devotees.
On TV, too, nipples featured prominently. Think Debra Messing on Will and Grace, the cast of Sex and the City (preceding, of course, Samantha’s stick-on nipples of season 4) and, perhaps most significantly, Rachel on Friends. Through relationship mishaps, ill-advised cat purchases, and many, many hours in Central Perk, Jennifer Aniston’s nipples formed a strangely integral part of her character’s wardrobe, complementing a rotation of tight tanks, sleeveless turtlenecks, cropped jumpers, and V-necks. The prevalence of the nipple on late ’90s TV screens might be explained by the narrow range of padded bras available at the time compared to our present abundance of choice. But it also embodies a particular cultural moment – one that championed sartorial freedom, comfort, tongue-in-cheek provocation, female independence, and thinness.
With only a few exceptions, many of the examples here from across the historic spectrum fit into a category sometimes described as ‘fashion tits’. Fashion tits are small, perky, and relatively unobtrusive. They do not always require a bra for practical reasons. They dovetail neatly with society’s generally narrow ideals of acceptability. Although still sexualized, they arguably escape some of the objectification endured by those with larger breasts. Fashion tits are often deemed more acceptable when fully visible through clothing or hinted at, à la Kate Moss, beneath a white T-shirt.
Many of the current crops of famous figures could be said to embody this kind of ’90s style and silhouette: the likes of Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, Zoë Kravitz, Miley Cyrus. Regularly cited in articles about the resurgence of the nipple in recent years (and invariably described in The Daily Mail as ‘flashing’, ‘flaunting’ and ‘leaving little to the imagination’ whenever they commit the crime of being a woman in public without a bra), they nonetheless fit a particular beauty mold. It is a mold whereby a visible nipple is a bodily fact rather than anything especially daring.
There are other figures to think about, too, during these long, half-dressed days at home – not least patron saint of the nipple-as-fashion-statement, Rihanna. When she turned up at the CFDA awards in 2014, glittering from neck to ankle in a sheer gown, she asked one reporter: “Do my tits bother you? They’re covered in Swarovski crystals, girl!” Sitting here in my gray American Apparel T-shirt, which I’ve worn twice this week already, that seems like a much more dazzling version of bralessness than any I’m currently experiencing.

From their pastel-colored lenses and bandanas circa 2000 to the black shapeless frocks they’re known for today, the Olsen twins have been our style icons for as long as we can remember. And after seeing what one of the 33-year-old sisters (it’s hard to tell with the mask on) has been wearing in quarantine, it’s clear that the time spent at home hasn’t affected their style one bit.
Yesterday morning, just hours before news reports announced that Mary-Kate Olsen was divorcing her husband of five years, French banker Pierre Olivier Sárközy, photos surfaced of one-half of the sister duo venturing outside in New York City for the first time in two months. According to InStyle, the photos show the sister in question getting out of Ashley’s car, but, since there’s arguably no twosome in popular culture more inseparable than Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that they share cars the same way they share CFDA-winning fashion labels.
In the photos, the twin can be seen in the kind of getup our at-home wardrobes needed to be reminded of: a tailored navy blue duster, an oversized baby blue Oxford button-down, white sneakers, and a pair of charcoal gray puddle pants so good we’re ordering a similar pair as we speak. She was also sporting a pair of disposable gloves, a blue bandana around her neck, and a black face mask, the latter of which the Twitterverse seems to think is made of leather, which, on an Olsen twin, wouldn’t be that surprising.
Olsen also accessorized with black Wayfarer-esque sunglasses and a lanyard around her neck. Though the latter may seem like a strange styling choice, it is one that I’ll likely be adopting now that it has an Olsen’s stamp of approval.
Whether it was Mary-Kate or Ashley, the quarantine style icon we’ve been waiting patiently for these last five weeks has officially been found. Now all that’s left to do is recreate the entire look — lanyard and all.

टीवी सीरियल 'ये रिश्ता क्या कहलाता है' से घर-घर में फेमस हुई हिना खान (Hina Khan) कभी अपनी फिटनेस को लेकर, तो कभी अपनी स्टाइल की वजह से चर्चा में बनी रहती हैं। यही नहीं हिना पिछले कुछ समय से अपने फैशनसेंस को लेकर काफी सुर्खियां बटोर रही हैं। हाल ही में हिना ने अपने इंस्टाग्राम पर अपनी कुछ तस्वीरें शेयर की है जिसमें वह ब्लैक एंड रेड फ्लोरल बॉडीकॉन गाउन में सभी का दिल चुरा रही हैं।
बॉलीवुड गलियारे में जब से सैफ अली खान (Saif Ali Khan) की लाडली सारा अली खान (Sara Ali Khan) ने अपने कदम क्या रखे, हर किसी को उन्होंने अपने फैशन और ड्रेसिंग स्टाइल से मंत्रमुग्ध कर दिया। जी हां, सारा के वॉर्डरोब कलेक्शन में आपको स्टाइल के साथ-साथ सलवार सूट और कुर्ता सेट्स के ऐसे कई डिज़ाइन देखने को मिल जाएंगे, जिन्होंने हमें इंडियन वियर को इतने ग्रेस के साथ पहनने के लिए इंस्पायर किया। इनकी स्टाइलिश तस्वीरों को देखकर ये कहना बिल्कुल गलत नहीं होगा कि वह नए जमाने की फैशन आइकन हैं।
भारत में जब लोग स्टाइल की बात करते हैं, तो आमतौर पर वह मूवीज या फिर सिलेब्रिटी के रेड कार्पेट लुक से इंस्पायर्ड दिखते हैं। यह दिखाता है कि बॉलिवुड और सिलेब्स ऑडियंस की जिंदगी के किस-किस हिस्से पर असर डालता है। फिल्म 'मोहरा' जब रिलीज हुई तो उसका गाना 'टिप-टिप बरसा पानी' सुपरहिट हो गया। इस गाने की यूएसपी रवीना का साड़ी लुक था, जो सॉन्ग में हॉटनेस का एलिमेंट ऐड करता दिखा था। यह लुक ऐसा हिट हुआ था कि इसने उस दौरान के फैशन पर भी असर डाला। गानें में बारिश में भिगती और डांस करती रवीना ने ब्राइट येलो कलर की प्लेन साड़ी पहनी थी। यह साड़ी प्योर शिफॉन से बनी हुई थी, जिस वजह से इसका लुक सी-थ्रू था, जो इसे भीगती रवीना को हॉट लुक देने के लिए परफेक्ट चॉइस बनाता था। बात करें ब्लाउज की तो उसका स्टाइल तो ऐसा था, जिसे ऐक्ट्रेसेस से लेकर आम लड़कियां भी आजतक फॉलो करती दिख जाती हैं। रवीना के ब्लाउज को भी शिफॉन से ही बनाया गया था। इसकी ट्रांसपरेंसी खत्म करने के लिए उसमें कॉटन से बने अस्तर को स्टिच किया गया था। वहीं नेकलाइन को प्लंजिंग वी शेप दिया गया था, जो लुक को और बोल्ड टच दे रहा था। स्लीव्स को केप ऐंड फ्रिल डिजाइन दिया गया था, जो उसे वेवी लुक दे रहा था। मार्केट में बढ़ गई थी डिमांडइस फिल्म और गाने के कारण येलो शिफॉन साड़ी की डिमांड उस समय मार्केट में काफी बढ़ गई थी। इसे देखते हुए दुकानों पर खासतौर पर इसे रखा जाने लगा था। खासतौर से यंग लेडीज के बीच इसकी डिमांड ज्यादा थी। श्रीदेवी के कारण भी पॉप्युलर हुई थी शिफॉन साड़ीवैसे शिफॉन की साड़ी की पॉप्युलैरिटी की बात कि जाए तो फिल्म 'चांदनी' के कारण भी इसे काफी बूस्ट मिला था। श्रीदेवी इस मूवी में प्लेन शिफॉन की कई खूबसूरत साड़ियों में नजर आई थीं। उन्होंने इस सिंपल सी साड़ी को भी ऐसा ग्लैमरस टच दिया था कि महिलाओं के बीच यह साड़ी ट्रेंड बन गई। हॉट सॉन्ग और शिफॉन कनेक्शनवैसे बात हो जब शिफॉन की साड़ी की तो इसका इस्तेमाल तो अभी भी बॉलिवुड में किया जाता है। खासतौर पर जब रोमांटिक और हॉट गाना शूट करना हो, तब ऐक्ट्रेसेस को शिफॉन की साड़ी पहनाई जाती है। यहां तक कि अभी भी इसका पैटर्न श्रीदेवी और रवीना की साड़ियों जैसा प्लेन ही रखा जाता है।
रामानंद सागर की 'रामायण' में लक्ष्मण का किरदार निभाने वाले सुनील लहरी अपने जमाने में काफी हैंडसम हुआ करते थे और लगता है उनके जींस ही उनके बेटे कृष पाठक में आए हैं। सोशल मीडिया पर यह हैंडसम डूड अक्सर अपने फोटोज शेयर करता है। हर तस्वीर इस बात की गवाह है कि स्टाइल के मामले में यह यंग मैन काफी आगे है।
पूर्व मिस वर्ल्ड मानुषी छिल्लर (Manushi Chhillar) आज अपना 23वां जन्मदिन मना रही हैं। अगर आप मानुषी के इंस्टाग्राम पर एक नजर डालेंगे तो आप देखेंगे कि वह अपनी खूबसूरती से ही नहीं, बल्कि स्टाइलिंग से भी किसी नई हीरोइन को पछाड़ सकती हैं। साड़ी हो या सूट, ड्रेस हो या फिर जींस, मानुषी हर तरह के आउटफिट में बेहद सुंदर लगती हैं। यही नहीं, मानुषी को लेटेस्ट ट्रेंड्स की भरपूर जानकारी है जो इनके ड्रेसिंग सेंस से साफ़ पता चलता है। ऐसे में आज हम आपको दिखा रहे हैं मानुषी के कुछ स्टाइलिश लुक्स...
