Shanaya Kapoor's high-octane Sabyasachi saree made a serious case for maximalism
(Image Credits: Instagram) The hypnotic allure of sequins has long held a place of pride in maximalist fashion. From disco-era glamour to red-carpet drama, glittering embellishments have always signalled decadence and now, master couturier Sabyasachi has redefined them once again with his latest creation, casting Shanaya Kapoor as his radiant new muse. Exuding vintage charm with a modern edge, Shanaya turned heads in a breathtaking silver cocktail sari from Sabyasachi's 2025 Heritage Collection, a look that whispered old-world opulence while dazzling in contemporary appeal. Crafted in a languid, silver-drenched fabric, the saree featured intricate floral embellishments and delicate thread embroidery, echoing the quiet luxury of royal craftsmanship. (Image Credits: Instagram) But it was the glint of contrasting golden sequins along the border and pallu that truly brought the drape to life. Designed with the elegance of springtime in mind, the shimmering accents evoked a gilded garden, crafted meticulously by artisans whose work elevates this ensemble into wearable art. Shanaya Kapoor stuns fans in her trendy mint green ensemble Shanaya paired the dramatic saree with a pale gold sequinned bralette-blouse, its fine straps and sweetheart neckline adding a hint of sensuality to the refined glamour. The ensemble struck a beautiful balance between heritage and modernity, each element a tribute to the grandeur of Indian craftsmanship with a distinctly youthful, red-carpet-ready twist. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo (Image Credits: Instagram) Adding to the retro glamour, Shanaya styled her hair in a voluminous bouffant-inspired updo, giving a nod to vintage Bollywood elegance. Her accessories further accentuated the old-world-meets-new vibe, a statement Art Deco-inspired necklace featuring emeralds, rubies, and diamonds from the House of Umrao, paired with intricate mosaic drop earrings, gave her look an heirloom sparkle. In perfect contrast to the shimmering saree, her makeup remained soft and understated. With a flush of peach on the cheeks, bronzed contours, and a dewy highlighter, she kept the skin luminous. Her eye makeup was subtle yet defined, forgoing heavy shadows in favour of winged eyeliner and mascara-lifted lashes, keeping the focus firmly on the statement ensemble. Designers like Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra have transformed the cocktail saree into a year-round showstopper, no longer just reserved for festive evenings. With sequin-studded creations like this one, the saree evolves into a celebration of craftsmanship, personality, and panache. In a world that often leans minimalist, Shanaya Kapoor's look is a love letter to maximalism done right: elegant, extravagant, and unmistakably Indian in its soul.

The Most Versatile Fashion Labels For Summer Travels
The new Heritage Stripe Cabin suitcase in Sandstone will be your new case for life. (Credit: Antler) Celebrating its 110th anniversary this year is British luggage brand, Antler. To mark the occasion, the brand has launched is its new Heritage Collection which calls upon the company's expertise and embraces the future of luggage design, blending archival details with modern materials. The collection of cases, which has been two years in the making, includes the Heritage Stripe Cabin – Antler's most advanced and premium design yet, engineered for seamless travel. The Antler Heritage Stripe Cabin case fuses tradition with cutting-edge technology. (Credit: Antler) The carry-on case has a premium-grade polycarbonate structure that offers strength without excess weight. The robust aluminium frame and reinforced corners provide structural integrity and protection from impact, whilst also referencing a historic design code from Antler's legacy in trunk design. The case also has soft-close, comfort-grip handles and locks and also boasts replaceable wheels, customised for disassembly and repair, giving it longevity (although it's worth noting that the brand offers a lifetime warranty on all suitcases). The innovative double-latch closure is also inspired by archival Antler designs—but reimagined for today with an integrated TSA-approved lock for added reassurance. The new Heritage Collection was two years in the making and features references to archival designs. (Credit: Antler) The case is available in two new colourways, Sandstone and Basalt, inspired by nature's enduring elements. Sandstone reflects the warm, timeworn textures of British coastal landscapes, while Basalt embodies the strength and resilience of coastal rock.

In her spare time, however, her long-term passion is travelling the world, with one of her favourite places being Ibiza.

The Citrine Essence dress by Preema Aura can be worn over swimwear and also dressed up with an under-slip for the evening. (Credit: Preema Aura) 'I feel incredibly blessed to be turning a lifelong dream into reality,' she says. 'For me, beauty is not just in appearance, but in how we feel. That's why I'm transforming Preema Aura from a passion project into a full-fledged fashion brand. In 2010, after a casual encounter with a taxi driver who remarked, 'You have a Preema Aura around you,' the name was born. At the time, I was focused on growing my aesthetics practice while quietly designing dresses for myself, expanding from evening wear to beachwear.' She continues: 'Ahead of my 50th birthday celebrations in Ibiza, unable to find the dresses I wanted, I designed three elegant, sheer pieces to be worn over bikinis. These versatile dresses could transition from luxurious poolside wear to elegant evening attire, and this inspired me to launch my own collection of luxury resort wear.' Selenite Dreams is an ethereal design which is part of the Sand to Soiree collection. (Credit: Preema Aura) Crafted from delicate textiles, with luxury embellishments, the 'Sand to Soiree' Collection of sheer dresses can be worn over a bikini during the day and then can be transformed at night by adding a slip underneath.

What to buy during Le Creuset's Stoneware Savings event happening now
Le Creuset is renowned for its ultra-tough, enameled cast-iron Dutch ovens — they can truly last a lifetime and come in several sizes and unique shades that make them collectible. With that said, the brand's lineup of stoneware baking dishes, most of which are a part of the Heritage Collection, is not to be slept on either—the good news: Le Creuset's stoneware baking dishes are up to 30% off right now. The deals include fluted pie dishes, square baking dishes, mixing bowls and much more. Whether you're shopping for yourself or a thoughtful Mother's Day gift, you'll find something to suit you. Heritage 3-Piece Rectangular Baking Dish Set This acclaimed set includes 1.1-, 2.5- and 4-quart rectangular baking dishes, all available in the brand's 10+ signature colors. The dishes all have a nonporous and scratch-resistant glaze, making them ideal for cooking all types of baked goods: casseroles, cakes, brownies, side dishes and more. They're oven safe up to 500 degrees and dishwasher safe according to the brand. If you're a banana bread fan or any sweet or savory quick bread, you'll need a loaf pan that can handle a lot, like Le Creuset's fluted option. Available in eight shades, the pan's out edge makes it both decorative and functional, since the fluted shape makes it easy to maneuver to and from the oven. While it's dishwasher and oven safe up to 500 degrees like many of Le Creuset's pieces, it's also freezer safe, too, according to the brand. Heritage Fluted Pie Dish If you consider yourself a pie person, a fluted stoneware pie dish like this is a good way to get excited about all the lemon meringue, blueberry and cherry pies you can make this summer. Aside from having an elevated look, the dish comes in more than 10 shades, including the popular Flame, and it's dishwasher and freezer safe. What's also great about a fluted pie dish is that it makes it easier to give your pie crust a more unique look. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up Why trust NBC Select?

Antler's most premium line yet begins rollout in-store
Fast-expanding British travel brand Antler's quest to become a £100 million brand by fiscal 2029 takes a big step forward with the launch of a premium Heritage Collection. The brand, which currently enjoys annual sales of £45 million, has lauched a collection described as 'a modern evolution of 110 years of British luggage excellence… where Antler's legacy of expertise meets the future of luggage design'. The hard-shell collection claims to set 'a new standard for suitcase construction, blending archival details with modern materials', via the new Heritage Stripe Cabin and upcoming Heritage Stripe Trunk. The former just-launched case is engineered with a premium-grade polycarbonate structure 'that offers strength without excess weight'. It said the robust aluminium frame and reinforced corners 'provide structural integrity and protection from impact, while also referencing a historic design code from Antler's legacy in trunk design'. Arriving this autumn, the Heritage Stripe Trunk also 'marks a bold new chapter for Antler'. Reimagining 'a classic 1950's silhouette for the modern voyager', it has a 90L packing capacity and is designed for 'voyage-style' packing, featuring a streamlined, zipperless design with integrated TSA-approved lock. 'Its distinctive shape offers a stylish alternative for those who require more space for longer journeys, seamlessly accommodating packing cubes and internal organisers to suit contemporary packing habits', Antler said. Two new colourways, Sandstone and Basalt, 'are inspired by nature's enduring elements' with the former reflecting 'the warm, timeworn textures of British coastal landscapes', while the latter 'embodies the strength and resilience of coastal rock'. Complementing the launch, Antler has also introduced the limited-edition Heritage Tote. The water-repellent organic cotton canvas and Scottish leather detailing 'present a smart exterior', complete with a secure internal zip pocket for laptop, tech and personal items.
