Celina Jaitly embraces Austrian culture in traditional dirndl look
Actress Celina Jaitly, who is an avid social media user, took to social media to share her fondness for Austria's traditional attire—the Dirndl.
In a heartfelt note, the 'No Entry' actress celebrated the elegance of the dirndl while also humorously acknowledging the unrelenting cold that often requires a jacket even in summer. Taking to Instagram, Celina posted an image of her wearing a dirndl and explained its significance. She revealed that the dirndl is a traditional dress worn by women in Austria, especially in the alpine regions. With roots tracing back to the 19th century, the dirndl was originally worn by rural women and has now evolved into a proud symbol of cultural heritage, commonly seen at Oktoberfest and local fairs. Celina described the dress as a blend of history and elegance, with its fitted bodice, flowing skirt, and charming apron reflecting the grace of Austrian traditions.
The 'Golmaal Returns' actress wrote, 'Dirndl dreams and jacket realities.. Austria, I love you, but can we please warm up a little? The Dirndl (pronounced DEERN-del) is a traditional dress worn by women in Austria, especially in alpine regions. Its roots date back to the 19th century, originally worn by rural women. Today, the Dirndl is celebrated as a beautiful blend of history and heritage, worn proudly at festivals like Oktoberfest and local fairs. With its fitted bodice, flowing skirt, and charming apron, the Dirndl reflects the warmth and grace of Austrian culture.'
'Given the fact that it's so cold where I live in Austria from September until the end of June, I personally can truly enjoy wearing the light Dirndl only in July and August .. always with a warm jacket ready to cover up. So much for the 'eternal summer' vibe,' she added.
Celina Jaitly has made Austria her home since 2010, where she lives with her husband, Peter Haag, and their three sons. Deeply fond of the country's natural beauty, she frequently shares glimpses of her life in Austria through social media, offering a peek into her serene surroundings and family moments. Her posts often reflect her strong connection to the culture and landscape she now calls home.

Instagram will soon let you rearrange your profile grid the way you want
Meta-owned social media platform Instagram announced on Thursday, June 12, that it will soon allow users to 're-order the posts' on their grid, giving them more options over how and where their content shows up on their profile. The announcement does not come as a surprise, as Instagram head Adam Mosseri said earlier this year in January that the platform was looking for a way to make profile grids customisable. Instagram was previously spotted working on the feature back in 2022, but eventually ended up scrapping the idea for some time. Until now, all posts on a profile appear in a chronological order, and the only way to make older posts appear at the top of the profile is to pin them. But with the upcoming update, users will be able to make their profiles more aesthetically pleasing and highlight certain content. In a blog post, Mosseri also said that they are testing a new feature that lets users quietly post to their profile 'without broadcasting it to everyone's feeds.' The platform is also expanding Trial Reels to everyone on the platform. Introduced for creators in December last year, Trial Reels enable creators to try 'content that's outside of their niche.' These reels are not visible to a creator's followers but instead show up for random people. Instagram says 40 per cent of creators who used the feature started posting reels more often and saw an 80 per cent uptick in reels reach from non-followers. As for Stories, Instagram will soon get a Rosalia font inspired by her handwriting. Also, Instagram's new Spotify integration allows users to quickly share music they are listening to in real time to Notes. The company also announced that it is launching Drafts, an initiative that will help creators by providing financial support, co-ideation, connections, collaboration opportunities and more.
