    L-R: Sonam Kapoor embracing color galore; and a shoot for Mayyur Girotra

    Not long ago, there was a time when all anyone wanted to channel was quiet luxury. When we were really embracing the neutral color palette with all our heart: browns, beige, olive green. When things like logos, bright colors, fun silhouettes and maximalism were frowned upon. Much to our relief, we are over that now, and going far into the the other end of the spectrum. When we've collectively decided to love all things maximalist and colorful. This ideology has extended itself to celebration wear, and we couldn't be happier. If you would like to channel this energy this season, here is some major inspiration.

    How To Embrace Color Galore This Season

    Remember Alia’s multi-colored chiffon saris in Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani? This beautiful sari from Kshitij Jalori is a great pick if you’re looking to channel Rani’s vibe.

    Two things that go really well together? Lots of color and all things quirky! If you’re looking to embrace lots of color, one way to go about it is forgetting about anything remotely mundane, and going all out on the fun! Exhibit A: This Torani cropped lehenga on Khushi Kapoor. The heart motifs on the skirt? The heart-shaped blouse? The flowers? Consider us obsessed!

    And when nothing else works, go for a mishmash of colors. Case in point: This beautiful, voluminous Rimple and Harpreet kurta on Sonam. It’s fun, vibrant, and has every color in the world! And just when you start to think that it's getting too crazy, think about how Sonam went one step further by pairing this color-galore kurta with an equally colorful clutch bag and pair of earrings! Maximalist girlies, take notes!

    However, quirky isn’t the only vibe that goes well with color galore! You can wear lots of color and still have a lot of gravitas. Like this beautiful anarkali on Aditi Rao Hydari. It's super colorful, and is still somehow very elegant.

    Another vibe that goes effortlessly with color galore? Bohemian! Is something really boho if it doesn’t have every color in the world? When in the mood to wear some color, consider going all out on the drama: exaggerated silhouettes, mixing prints, big motifs!

    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.
