Style with swagger: Women own the suit and tie look
With every crisp lapel and confident stride, these women are proving that power dressing knows no bounds. Here's how you can take some fashion inspo.
'Choose luxe fabrics like silk, satin, or crepe to bring softness to the look'
The boldness of tailored suits and sharp ties combined with a feminine touch of luxe fabrics is an unstoppable combination, when it comes to power dressing. Celebrity stylist Riddhima Sharma recommends, opting for luxe fabrics. She says, "Choose luxe fabrics like silk, satin, or crepe to bring softness to the look.
Femininity is not about dresses or frills—it's about expression, balance, and self-assurance. A woman in a blazer and tie can be just as graceful, stylish, and empowered as she is in a gown.
A well-fitted blazer and pants are non-negotiable. Opt for structured shoulders, nipped-in waists, and cropped or flared hems to accentuate your natural curves. High-waisted trousers or pencil-cut pants elongate the legs and add sleekness to the outfit."
'Blazers are versatile and shouldn't be limited by height or body type'
Blazers and ties are one of the most versatile wardrobe staples and have been a dominating trend off late. "Cropped blazers tend to flatter petite frames, while oversized or anti-fit styles often look amazing on tall girls. That being said, blazers are one of the most versatile wardrobe staples and shouldn't be limited by height or body type—they can be styled to suit anyone," says celebrity stylist Ashna Makhijani Shah.
Box- Styling hair to nail that ultimate boss babe blazer look
When styling hair to nail that ultimate boss babe blazer look without losing the feminine edge. It's all about mirroring the structure of the suit while softening it to celebrate the woman wearing it.
- Opt for a half sleek hairdo. This one's your perfect middle ground, structured crown with flowy ends.
- Women can also go for the Ariana-style, mid half pony. Think of it as the sweet spot between a full ponytail and leaving your hair open.
It lifts the face, keeps the front clean, and lets the rest flow. Structured yet soft. Bossy but playful.
-Another interesting option is the voluminous '80s Blowout. It spells big hair, big energy. It's classy and controlled, think old money meets new ambition.

When Rekha's Father Said She "Messed Up" Her Life By Getting Involved With Amitabh Bachchan: "Extramarital Affairs..."
New Delhi: Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan have been part of Bollywood's most talked-about rumours for decades. Their on-screen chemistry made headlines, but the off-screen whispers about their relationship were never confirmed. Both stars stayed quiet, but years ago, Rekha's father, actor Gemini Ganesan, shared what he thought about the speculation. In an old Star & Style interview, Gemini Ganesan didn't hold back. 'People tell me that Rekha has messed up her personal life by getting involved with Amitabh. But I never discuss Rekha's personal affairs with her. Why should I?' he said. 'When I married Savitri and Pushpavalli several years ago, eyebrows were raised, and it became the biggest scandal in the industry. And yet today no one is aghast when they hear about Dilip Kumar marrying Asma or Dharmendra marrying Hema. So, in one way I think I have been the trend setter for extramarital involvements in the industry,' Gemini Ganesan added. Rekha was born in 1954 to Gemini Ganesan and Pushpavalli, who were never married, reported The Times of India. Pushpavalli had already separated from her husband, while Ganesan stayed with his first wife. Rekha went on to have her own share of headlines around her personal life. From being linked to actors and filmmakers to her short-lived marriage with businessman Mukesh Agarwal in 1990, stability never came easy. That marriage ended tragically when Mukesh died by suicide just months later. Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan married Jaya Bachchan in 1973. The couple are proud parents to son Abhishek Bachchan and daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda. On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha have shared screen space in several projects like Do Anjaane, Mr. Natwarlal, Suhaag, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and Silsila.

An informal, vibrant setting serving sakes and beers with an array of small, tapas-style dishes, designed for the love of sharing. That's Otoki, the new Japanese izakaya having a moment in Mumbai. The new Japanese restaurant also features one of India largest collections of sakes curated by Maia Laifungbam. Food: Japanese comfort dishes shine in the menu the most.

Or the chicken nanban—Japanese style fried chicken tossed in vinegar-based nanban sauce. But the main event here is the sushi. Each palm-moulded bed of fragrant rice is draped with a glorious freshness of fish, from bluefin tuna, to Hokkaido scallops, Hamachi and salmon belly. The grilled eel unagi with the sweet soy kabayaki glaze is a must try. Don't miss on to take it all with a glass of sake. Otoki has 32 varieties of sakes from the crisp sparkling to rare dessert sakes. Try the delicious Umeboshi which marries gin with pickled plum, if you are not a sake fan.
