    We don't know about you, but we love Priyanka Chopra Jonas. She is a fashion chameleon who can ace all aesthetics. Whether is sexy or sophisticated, the soft romantic aesthetic, or the opulent 'Maharani-core' aesthetic; she can do it all. And there is nothing like her Indian looks. I mean, there is a reason why they call her the Desi Girl, after all! If you, like us, love PC's style, we suggest you take inspiration from her looks this wedding season! Here's how to do it:

    Goddess-coded

    This beautiful custom Anamika Khanna look on Priyanka Chopra is as ethereal as it gets. She styled her pristine white and gold sari with traditional opulent jewellery: layered necklaces, huge studs, a maangtikka, stacked kadas, and hair ornaments for her loosely tied braid. She also wore a beautiful kamarbandh, which adds another layer of drama to the look. We’re particularly loving how she completed the look with a tiny green bindi! Consider us obsessed!

    In Full Bloom

    Priyanka nails the effortlessly beautiful aesthetic just as well as she aces the ethereal, Goddess aesthetic. Case in point: this Arpita Mehta look on her. The beautiful pre-draped sari paired with a matching floral-print corset looks as comfy as it is stunning. Okay, our floral era might be making a comeback!

    Sheer elegance

    Bridesmaids-to-be, take notes, because PC is serving some serious cocktail party inspiration in this sheer red Rahul Mishra sari. She styled her sexy, sleek sari with a sleek middle-parted bun, diamond chandelier earrings, a diamond cuff, and a bold red lip. PC hardly misses the mark when the brief is sexy, and this look reiterates it. Consider this your sign to get a sheer cocktail sari this wedding season!

    More is More

    If you are looking to take the drama up by several notches as a maximalist girlie this wedding season, consider taking inspiration from this Zuhair Murad look on Priyanka. She styled her mirror-work pant suit and ivory tulle draped halter-neck top with a sleek middle-parted bun adorned with white roses, a dainty maangtikka, and a glossy lip. We love how she went one step further by adding a super OTT feathered clutch bag to reiterate her “go big or go home” brief for this look!

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
