Siya Wahal’s Wedding: A Bride Who Wore Her Own Story Through Isa by Dolly Wahal

There’s something incredibly special about a bride who chooses to wear her own designs on her wedding day. For Siya Wahal, co-founder of Isa by Dolly Wahal, this wasn’t just a fashion choice—it was deeply personal. Her wedding became a natural extension of her journey, blending love, memory, and the creative language she has spent years building. Hosted across Mumbai and Delhi, the celebrations were thoughtfully intimate, never overwhelming. Siya and her partner, after years of long distance and busy individual lives, wanted their wedding to feel intentional—something that reflected who they are rather than what was expected. And that honesty came through in every detail. The Mehendi was held at the Isa studio, which made the entire function feel especially close to her heart...

The Revival of Y2K Fashion: A New-Age Nostalgia

Y2K is not just a fashion movement or a fleeting trend; rather,  it is a cultural revival that celebrates the bold, experimental spirit of the early 2000s. Marking the transition from 1999 to 2000, this era reflected optimism, technological curiosity, and a fearless approach to self-expression. Fashion during this time was anything but subtle, it embraced metallics, vibrant colors, unconventional silhouettes, and playful textures. In 2026, Y2K fashion has resurfaced not as a remembering, rather being tailored to modern sensibilities.  Today’s generation blends nostalgia with practicality, making old trends feel fresh, wearable, and relevant again. Among the many elements of this revival, footwear stands out as a defining feature, capturing the essence of Y2K while adapting to contemporary ...

Ranveer Singh Just Confirmed: The Bandhgala Is the Only Occasion Wear That Matters Right Now

There's a particular kind of confidence that comes with wearing something that knows exactly what it is. No apologies, no overexplanation. Just structure, fabric, and the quiet authority of a silhouette that has outlasted every trend that ever tried to replace it. Ranveer Singh understood this perfectly when he walked into the NMACC third-anniversary gala — and for once, the most daring thing he did was show restraint in his statement bandhgala. A Look That Said Everything by Saying Very Little The man who once showed up to an airport in what appeared to be a court jester's fever dream arrived at this particular pink carpet in a custom Anamika Khanna bandhgala, and somehow that felt more radical. Deep, ink-black, fine pure wool. An open collar fastened with handcrafted ...

From Dreamy Saree to Power Tuxedo—Alia Bhatt Owned the Night Twice

And yet again, Alia Bhatt proves why she remains as the undisputed style queen of Bollywood. For the recent Star Screen Awards in Mumbai, the actor got the internet talking as she championed two looks by Gaurav Gupta. The two designers, who look poles apart in spirit, moved seamlessly from soft, romantic elegance to sharp, commanding power dressing as she stepped into her role as the evening’s host.  The flawless transition between the two looks was a detailed study in fashion duality. It was a showcase of how a single evening can hold two different style identities. Look 1: Alia Bhatt Floats Onto the Red Carpet in a Dreamy Ivory Saree For her red carpet appearance, Alia Bhatt celebrated ethereal femininity in a custom ivory silk saree by Gaurav Gupta.

World Siblings Day 2026: How to Coordinate Sibling Outfits Without Looking Matchy With Petite Pomme Kidswear

World Siblings Day, celebrated worldwide on April 10th, is basically your annual excuse to relive childhood chaos, inside jokes, and those endless wardrobe borrow-and-fight sessions over TV remote and video games, except now, with better fashion sense. And while matching outfits with your sibling might sound cute in theory, nobody wants to look like they're headed to a themed family photoshoot from 2005.  The real style move for World Siblings Day is coordination, not duplication.

The Ultimate Guide To Choosing The Right Kurta For Your Skin Tone

A kurta can look beautiful on the rack and still not feel right once you wear it. That usually happens because the colour may be trending, but it may not be the one that brings out your skin tone best. This is exactly why so many women get confused while choosing kurtas for daily wear, festive dressing, or family occasions.  The simple answer is this: warm skin tones usually look best in earthy, mustard, rust, coral, and warm reds, cool skin tones often suit blues, pinks, berry shades, and cooler greens, while neutral skin tones can carry both warm and cool colours quite well.  Once you understand that, choosing the right kurta becomes much easier. At Rain & Rainbow, we believe colour should make you feel comfortable, confident, and naturally well dressed, not overthought. In this guid...

What is the Difference Between Kurti and Kurta?

When searching for the ethnic wear online or offline, kurtis and kurtas are the two most bought options, be it for daily wear wardrobe, or for a festive or special occasion.
