Sonam Kapoor spends ‘unexpected week off' with her ‘baby boy' Vayu
Actress and fashionista Sonam Kapoor shared a glimpse of how she spent her 'unexpected week off' with her son Vayu and no distractions. Sonam took to her Instagram, where she shared a handful of moments featuring the 'beautiful time' she spent with her 'baby boy.' The images and videos featured the actress and her son spending time on the swings, in pilates sessions, and at home.
'An unexpected week off with no agenda and what a beautiful time spent with my baby boy. No distractions and just life as it should be. @anandahuja we've made such a little peace of heaven for ourselves. Love you so much. #everydayphenomenal,' she wrote as the caption. It was in May 2018, when Sonam and Anand got married after years of dating. They welcomed their son, Vayu, in August 2022. On April 15, Sonam delivered a sleek look in a monotone attire which made her look absolutely boardroom-ready. Her look was styled by her sister, Rhea Kapoor.
Sonam looked extremely elegant in a tailored black double-breasted jacket along with side buttons, and flap pockets on either side. The diva added a belt over the blazer, to enhance the appeal.
She paired the blazer with a white shirt with cuffs visible from the blazer's sleeves. These cuffs were further styled with cufflinks.
Keeping in tune with the Sakura aesthetics, Sonam's makeup included a sculpted base, along with defined eyebrows, neat eyeliner, pink-toned eyeshadow, pink blush, and lipstick. As for hair, Sonam styled them in a sleek center-parted bun.
Sharing the pictures on her IG, the actress wrote, 'Namaste Japan! Looking forward to the show tomorrow @dior,' while her sister captioned, 'Sakura Season with @sonamkapoor in Kyoto with @dior.' Talking about Sonam's work commitments, post the actress' maternity leave, she made her acting comeback with the 2023 crime-thriller 'Blind.'
Up next, Sonam will be seen in the 'Battle of Bittora.' It is based on Anuja Chauhan's 2010 novel of the same name that shares the love story between two upcoming politicians who despite being in love are contesting elections against each other. The drama will be produced under the banner of Anil Kapoor Film, in collaboration with Communication Network. Meanwhile, as Rhea Kapoor's film 'Crew' turned one in March, Sonam heaped praise on her sister and tagged her as brilliant. Rhea first shared a black and white video featuring Tabu, Kareena Kapoor and Kriti Sanon with the song 'Choli Ke Peeche' playing in the background. Sonam shared the video on her Instagram stories and wrote: 'My sister is brilliant.'
'Crew' is a heist comedy film directed by Rajesh A Krishnan. Produced by Ekta Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Digvijay Purohit under Balaji Motion Pictures and Anil Kapoor Films and Communication Network. In the film, three air hostesses become involved in a gold smuggling operation. The film is noted to be a parody of Vijay Mallya owned Kingfisher Airlines, which closed down due to bankruptcy and non-payment of dues and salaries to employees.

The most exquisite high jewellery releases of the year
Paris Couture Week played a pivotal role in introducing the year's most extraordinary high jewellery creations, though these remarkable collections will define the entire 2025 luxury landscape. The world's foremost jewellery houses have unveiled their latest masterpieces, transforming nature's wonders into breathtaking wearable art through unparalleled craftsmanship and visionary design. From Cartier's wild felines to Tiffany's oceanic fantasies, these creations represent the pinnacle of jewelry craftsmanship – some immediately available to collectors, others serving as tantalizing previews of complete collections to debut later this year. Cartier Cartier brought its acclaimed Nature Sauvage trilogy to a spectacular conclusion with a menagerie of creatures rendered in precious gems. The collection's centerpiece is a magnificent white gold collier featuring a diamond leopard with onyx spots, poised protectively over a 26.53-carat Ceylon sapphire – a deliberate homage to the legendary 1949 panther brooch created for the Duchess of Windsor. Technical marvels abound, from golden tigers with articulated diamond paws that mimic real movement to crocodile earrings with emerald eyes that glint with lifelike intensity. A particular standout is the octopus cocktail ring, its rosy-hued stone 'tentacles' appearing to undulate around the finger. The collection solidifies Cartier's position as the unrivaled master of animal-inspired jewellery, blending artistry with mechanical ingenuity. Tiffany & Co. Tiffany's 2025 Blue Book collection plunges into the ocean's depths, reimagining Jean Schlumberger's aquatic fantasies for the modern era. The maison's artisans have created a marine universe where starfish and seahorses emerge from intricate diamond tracery, their forms accentuated by deep blue sapphires that capture the sea's mysterious glow. The showstopping bib necklace, with its delicate platinum threads mimicking fisherman's nets, cascades with precisely set gems that play with light like sun on water. Equally impressive are the earrings featuring sea turtles with emerald shells, each scale individually set to create mesmerizing texture. While the full collection won't be available until spring, these preview pieces demonstrate Tiffany's unparalleled ability to transform nature's fluid beauty into enduring jewels. Dior Victoire de Castellane's latest collection for Dior translates the house's lace motifs into 76 exquisite floral jewels. Inspired by Christian Dior's country estate in Milly-la-Forêt, the pieces feature diamond daisies and sapphire roses blooming across guipure-like gold lattices so delicate they appear woven from sunlight. The corsage bracelet is a technical marvel, its diamond-encrusted petals engineered to float independently, creating the illusion of blossoms trembling in a breeze. A necklace composed of pearl-studded forget-me-nots showcases Dior's signature romanticism, while a pair of earrings transforms lace patterns into geometric floral abstractions. This collection reaffirms Dior's position at the intersection of haute couture and high jewellery. Boucheron Boucheron presents two extraordinary collections that bookend its design legacy. Untamed Nature meticulously recreates founder Frédéric Boucheron's 19th-century botanical studies in diamonds and white gold, including a hyper-realistic moth brooch with wings rendered in gray and white mother-of-pearl marquetry that required 800 hours of craftsmanship. On 7 May, the maison will unveil the highly anticipated Serpent Bohème Vintage collection (pictured above), reimagining its iconic 1974 design for contemporary collectors. The updated version features streamlined pear-shaped diamond links that create more dynamic movement, with a fully pavéd white gold iteration that converts into four separate pieces. A brushed-gold cuff with the collection's signature floral motif adds a vintage-inspired option, its textured surface recalling rediscovered heirlooms. Chaumet Chaumet's 10-piece Bamboo collection elevates the humble plant through architectural jewelry design. The standout tiara features diamond-capped white gold stems topped with hand-engraved rose gold leaves, while a bib necklace of platinum and gold 'stalks' centers on a remarkable 13-carat black opal surrounded by mint-green tsavorite garnets. The maison has hinted this capsule is merely the first expression of its bamboo inspiration, with more elaborate interpretations planned for later in the year. The current pieces already demonstrate Chaumet's unique ability to merge organic forms with precise, almost structural design elements. Graff Graff transforms the humble sparrow into a breathtaking symbol of devotion with The Gift of Love necklace. Two diamond birds (125 carats total) appear caught in mid-flight, their sapphire eyes and onyx beaks adding lifelike detail. The romantic narrative peaks as one sparrow offers its mate a rare 13.51-carat fancy intense yellow diamond – a stone so exceptional it elevates the entire composition to museum quality. Piaget Celebrating 150 years, Piaget revisits its 1970s heyday with vibrant, unapologetically bold designs. The phoenix necklace spreads wings of engraved rose gold feathers set with rubies and pink sapphires, its detachable 12-carat pear-shaped rubellite pendant offering versatility. This jewellery collection serves as a prelude to even more jubilant anniversary pieces coming in fall 2025. Discover Piaget's first watch collection in 60 years at Art Dubai this weekend From Cartier's immediate showstoppers to Boucheron's upcoming May release and Piaget's future anniversary creations, 2025 promises to be a landmark year for high jewellery. These collections prove that nature – whether wild, delicate, or mythical – remains the ultimate muse for jewelry's most visionary creators. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Supplied

Jonathan Anderson takes over at Dior as Maria Grazia Chiuri steps down after nine years
Rumours that have been on the fashion world's lips for months have finally been confirmed: Jonathan Anderson is taking over as sole creative director at Dior. It comes days after the announcement that Maria Grazia Chiuri is stepping down as artistic director of the brand's women's collections after nine years. In a statement announcing the appointment, Bernard Arnault, chairman and chief executive of Dior's parent company, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, described Anderson as 'one of the greatest creative talents of his generation'. The northern Irishman was named Dior's head of men's fashion in April, sparking speculation that he was being lined up to take over the women's department as well. This Irish designer now oversees the women's division, encompassing ready-to-wear and haute couture. His first men's wear collection is expected this month, while his first collection for women will be showcased in autumn. Chiuri was creative head of women's haute couture and ready-to-wear at Dior for nine years. In an era when designers seem to be permanently on the move, the change feels deeply significant. She joined in 2016 from Valentino – where she worked with Pierpaolo Piccioli, the newly appointed creative chief at Balenciaga – and set about reinvigorating the house by delving through its archive, bringing back heritage ideas such as the nipped waist Bar jacket created by Dior himself in 1947, and the Saddle Bag, from the Galliano era. Her first fashion show for the brand famously included a T-shirt emblazoned with the title of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's essay We Should All Be Feminists, setting the tone that has underpinned all her collections. Christian Dior couture chairman and chief executive Delphine Arnault wrote: 'I extend my warmest thanks to Maria Grazia Chiuri who, since her arrival at Dior, has accomplished tremendous work with an inspiring feminist perspective and exceptional creativity, all imbued with the spirit of Monsieur Dior, which allowed her to design highly desirable collections." A huge hit with customers, Chiuri was particularly focused on couture details, which ran through much of her work, thanks to the immense skill of the Dior teams. In her statement, Chiuri wrote: 'I am particularly grateful for the work accomplished by my teams and the ateliers. Their talent and expertise allowed me to realise my vision of committed women's fashion, in close dialogue with several generations of female artists. Together, we have written an impactful chapter of which I am immensely proud.' Under Chiuri's tenure, the house has become known for a romantic yet wearable aesthetic. She swapped out corsetry for elastic and introduced layered net ballet skirts and heavily logo-ed kitten heels. In March 2023, Chiuri unveiled her pre-fall collection in front of the Gateway of India in Mumbai, partly in tribute to the contribution of Indian artisans to fashion. In March 2019, she restaged her circus-themed haute couture collection in a giant tent in Safa Park, Dubai. Rumours of Chiuri's departure have been swirling for months. Her 2026 cruise collection show in Rome just days ago was regarded as her finale, even before the official announcement. The crowd showed their appreciation with a standing ovation – a rarity in an industry where everyone is racing off to the next show. There is no news yet of where Chiuri might go next, if anywhere. A day after leaving Dior, she made public a restoration project of Teatro della Cometa, a historic theatre in Rome she bought in 2020 and meticulously brought back to life with her daughter. However, her departure means there is one less woman heading up a major house. Her appointment all those years ago felt like the beginning of a new normal where women held powerful, influential roles. Since then, however, Phoebe Philo, Clare Waight Keller and Sarah Burton have all stepped back from Celine, Givenchy and Alexander McQueen respectively. Burton has since reappeared at Givenchy, but Waight Keller is now creative director at high-street name Uniqlo, and Philo has her own, low-key brand. Miuccia Prada still remains at Prada and Miu Miu, but otherwise, the fashion industry is once again dominated by men, making Chiuri's departure the end of an era in more ways than one.

Jonathan Anderson Is Announced Creative Director Of Dior
The French major force of fashion has announced Jonathan Anderson will succeed Maria Grazia Chiuri as creative director for men's, women's and couture collections In the world of high fashion, few announcements ripple across the industry with such gravity as an announcement about the Big Four: whether Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel or Dior. Today, as the morning light hit the ivory façades of Avenue Montaigne, a new era began for latter. 'We have some very exciting news,' Delphine Arnault, Chair and CEO of Christian Dior Couture told Business of Fashion, announcing a new era for one of the industry's behemoth brands. 'Jonathan Anderson is going to be the head of creation for Dior—across men's and women's, couture and accessories.' It's a poetic full-circle moment. For the first time in decades, Dior's artistic vision will be steered by a single creative force, as it once was in the days of Monsieur Dior himself. The announcement is also not entirely surprising, as Jonathan had already been appointed Creative Director of Dior men's collections earlier this year, and his name has been on the lips of every industry insider since Maria Grazia Chiuri announced her departure on Thursday. 'Over the last 11 years that he has been at LVMH, we've often spoken about what could come next,' said Delphine. 'There was always one brand he was drawn to. And now, we believe this is his moment.' Anderson, now 40, brings more than youth. He brings duality — the artisan and the futurist, the romantic and the realist. With an eye trained in meticulous craftsmanship and a mind unafraid to disrupt, he arrives with plenty of energy to take on one of fashion's biggest beasts. 'He has a very clear vision for the brand,' says Arnault. 'He's completely energised by the challenge.' The Northern Irish designer certainly has the meteoric rise to suggest he's up to the task at hand. One of the most daring talents of his generation, Jonathan launched his own menswear brand straight out of London College of Fashion in 2008. In 2013, he succeeded Christopher Kane at Versace's Versus, and shortly after was appointed creative director of Spanish luxury label Loewe. The rest, as they say, was history. In the 11 years at the helm, Jonathan's influence was transformative. Perhaps one of LVMH's greatest coup, Jonathan turned sales of approximately €230 million in 2014 according to Morgan Stanley, to between €1.5 billion and €2 billion in 2024, according to Bernstein analyst Luca Solca. Whether it was an evening gown or a tank top, Jonathan's touch was golden—a talent that we expect to shine even brighter as he accepts the keys to the house of Dior, with the maison's full manpower and métiers d'art at his fingertips. Knowing Jonathan's clean and contemporary aesthetic, we predict he will start with a sketch and simple dream, poised to put together Dior's new design DNA one stitch at a time.
