Kanika Kapoor served the epitome of luxury during her time at Cannes. The singer was spotted at the French Riviera exuding charm and chicness as she opted for gorgeous attire throughout the weekend. Kanika was also present at the star-studded Chopard Party, where she performed live in front of notable people from the fashion and film industries around the world. The singer was seen attending the Chopard party in a crystal-embellished flutter-sleeve gown by AREA. Crafted from jersey, the gown featured a cut-out detail at the neckline and waist while being covered with crystal embellishments.

Kanika Kapoor accessorised her look with Chopard diamond earrings to match the sparkle of the gown. In an attempt to blend fashion and functionality, the singer opted for a Chopard L'Heure Du Diamant round watch, featuring diamonds all around the dial. Her overall makeup look was bold with smoky eyes and a bright coral lip. Kanika went for a sleek, side-parted, wet hairstyle look, providing a clean and polished finish that complements the elegance of her outfit. For her day out looks at the French Riviera, Kanika channeled a breezy summer look that seemed both comfortable and chic at the same time. She opted for Emilia Wickstead's Judie cropped top in the color white that featured spaghetti straps and delicate green and yellow floral prints, perfect for daytime wear in the summer. She paired it up with a matching high-waisted skirt from the designer, which was adorned with soft floral motifs all over it. Kanika chose to accessorise her look with a pair of statement Hawaii gold earrings by Buccellati and added Loewe's Paula Ibiza white oval-framed sunglasses, adding a playful touch to the chic look. For the bag, the singer carried Loro Piana's L19 North-South Wicker Bag- a structured, woven, cream leather top-handle bag, perfectly complementing her breezy summer attire. Kanika was also seen out and about on the streets of Cannes, channelling her inner fashionista in a chic daytime look. She opted for a sage green layered cotton trench by JW Anderson that featured an asymmetric collar and a button-down, utility-inspired design. The cuffs were adorned with gold-toned buckles, adding an elevated touch to the casual street-style look. Kanika was seen sporting a basic white top and light-wash jeans with tailored outerwear. To complete her look, the singer carried a timeless Hermes Kelly handbag in the shade taupe and added an oversized pair of shades with a hint of retro glam. First Published: June 03, 2025, 10:09 IST

Economic development officials tout business competitiveness to national site selectors
Apr. 17—Real estate expert Mark Urbanowicz's first impressions of Albuquerque? Good infrastructure, a beautiful environment offering balanced quality of life and a unique place to do business. He and three other commercial real estate officials from outside of New Mexico joined a Thursday luncheon hosted by the economic development organization Albuquerque Regional Economic Alliance, or AREA, at Albuquerque Academy to learn more about the metro area's investment potential from local executives. This week, AREA drove the out-of-state visitors around town to tout the city's business competitiveness. AREA CEO and President Danielle Casey at the luncheon described the tour as letting the visitors "get to know what's going on and kind of look under all the rocks and learn about the market and understand what we're doing to really advance our economic development ecosystem." AREA also took the real estate officials to local events like an Isotopes game and golfing, which Urbanowicz said is an important factor business leaders consider when setting up shop somewhere. "What's going to be more important in attracting business and attracting talent in the future will be quality of life," said Urbanowicz, an executive managing director with Vestian. Chad Matheson, senior vice president for AREA, broke down some state and metro-area economic and jobs statistics for the visitors at the luncheon, particularly highlighting the growing market for research and development. In terms of job count in the Southwest, New Mexico has the fourth-largest R&D market and it grew 23% from 2018-2023, he said. "From a research and development perspective, really honing our core competencies and material sciences is one that I feel we have a tremendous potential in," Matheson said. In addition to science and technology-related fields, the state has a demand for professionals in health care, manufacturing and construction, finance and insurance, and education, Matheson added. Officials with Central New Mexico Community College, Presbyterian Healthcare Services and Sandia National Laboratories attended the Thursday event as well to explain some of their program offerings to the visitors, from quantum computing partnerships to health care simulation labs. "There's likely some way that we can work with just about anybody," said David Kistin, manager of technology and economic development at Sandia Labs. This was site selector Jeffrey Garza Walker's fourth tour of Albuquerque, initially coming to the state six years ago to consider its business opportunities. He's the executive vice president and managing principal of SRS Real Estate Partners and lives in Phoenix. It's exciting to see New Mexico "starting to move forward with your initiative" to become a hub of economic development, Garza Walker said. He said it's important for an area to be ready for big companies to move in to, pointing to site readiness and a strong labor force as being key. "One company can change the whole dynamic. And I believe you've got the right people in the room that are trying to get you ready for that," Garza Walker said of AREA.
