Dia Mirza Rekhi: Style is a reflection of your journey, your individual voice
Dia Mirza Rekhi's style is in a league of it's own. Not the one to copy or imitate others, she has, right from the beginning of her professional journey, aimed to be original. And been conscious of associating herself only with films and people who align with her vision, rather than for the sake of it. Outfit: Rohit Bal Jewellery: Kishandas & Co. Dia stands out in a signature black jacket from Rohit Bal's ICW collection, Kashgul, embellished with vivid floral embroidery that echoes the lush beauty of Kashmir. Her look is perfectly punctuated with a statement choker by Kishandas & Co., strung with rubies, pearls, and glistening diamond clusters. Outfit: Jayanti Reddy Jewellery: Kishandas & Co. She wears a mint green peplum-sharara set by Jayanti Reddy, brought to life with hand-embroidered sequins and delicate floral threadwork. The look is elevated with statement emerald and diamond jewellery from Kishandas & Co. Her fashion and lifestyle choices too go deeper than surface level. 'Style and wellness are most certainly deeply connected. Style is really a reflection of your journey, it's an individual voice that you have,' says the 43-year-old. Outfit: Tulsi by Neeru Kumar The actor is a vision in a deep purple lehenga set by Tulsi, crafted in lustrous Uppada silk with intricate zari and patra embroidery. The flowing silhouette moves with graceful ease, while the blouse is detailed with ornate embroidery along the sleeves and back. As an actor, looking good on screen is critical. With the looks she possesses, Dia's face card has always been strong. She credits it all to her genes, but reveals she has changed a bit, 'I am just so lucky to be blessed with great DNA, that I have taken so much for granted. I have only recently started doing facials, once in three months. I would not do it before that. I am now in my 40s, and recognize that I need to take more care of my skin.' Outfit: SABE by Sanil & Beenu Makhija Jewellery: Kays Jewels She looks radiant in a green-gold net jacket with dabka, resham and applique work, paired with a pre-draped georgette saree and corset blouse. The yellow sapphire and diamond set from Kays Jewels adds warmth and light. Dia, reflecting on the one constant in her sartorial journey, says, "From my Miss Asia Pacific days to now, I have always been drawn to simplicity, to our rich, cultural heritage, beauty of our handicrafts. That's why what I wear reflects story of our craftsmanship and textiles. Outfit: Rishi & Soujit Jewellery: Kays Jewels Dia wears a midnight blue jacquard satin set with a structured overlap waistcoat and draped skirt, detailed with oxidised grey bead embroidery. She completes the look with diamond jewellery from Kays Jewels.

Nargis Fakhri: There's something about old-Hollywood fashion, it's like wearing a piece of history
As the camera lens focuses and the lights flood the set, Nargis Fakhri doesn't just pose — she owns the frame. For the June cover shoot of HTCity Showstoppers, the actor arrives with a quiet confidence, radiating a blend of timeless glamour and personal evolution. Nargis Fakhri in outfit: Rose Room By Isha J Jewellery: Diacolor Fine Contemporary Jewels 'There's an artiste in me that's so excited right now,' she beams, every inch of her presence echoing an aura of poise and personal pride. All set to grace the silver screen again in Housefull 5, and soon making her Telugu debut alongside Pawan Kalyan, Nargis is not only making a cinematic comeback but also stepping into a new fashion chapter — one rooted in authenticity, individuality and self-love. Also Read| Nargis Fakhri says she survives on water for 9 days twice a year to look snatched: 'It's very difficult but…' From Minimalism to Moodboards 'During my early modelling career, I gravitated towards classic and timeless pieces,' she shares in a candid conversation, a flash of nostalgia in her voice. 'Wardrobe basics that could be styled effortlessly made sense to me. But as I moved into acting, working with stylists helped me explore red carpet glamour, casual chic and everything in between,' she adds. Nargis Fakhri's outfit: Ridhima Bhasin Jewellery: Kays Jewels Today, her sartorial sensibilities go beyond trends. Fashion, for Nargis, is a mirror to her mood. She says, 'Whether it's a comfy, casual look or a more styled ensemble, my outfit always reflects who I am and how I want to show up in the world.' It's this mindful dressing philosophy that has not only set her apart in an industry often dictated by passing fads but also helped her find a balance between comfort and couture. Threads of a Creative Childhood Long before she turned heads on international red carpets, Nargis' style journey was being stitched together in childhood bedrooms, filled with fabrics, scissors and wide-eyed curiosity. 'As a kid, I made my own clothes. That creative energy gave my fashion an edgy, experimental quality.' It's no surprise then, that her creative curiosity also led her beyond films. 'While my main work has been in film, I've had the chance to explore music a little — collaborating on tracks like Woofer with Zora and Snoop Dogg, and Habitaan Vigaad Di with Parichay and Kardinal Offishall,' she shares, 'It's something I've really enjoyed and would love to do more of. Especially seeing how Indian audiences are embracing genres like rap and hip-hop, it's exciting to think about collaborating with artists like Raftaar, Divine or MC Stan in the future. There's so much talent here, and being part of that creative space — even in a small way — would be incredible.' Old Hollywood Dreams, Modern-Day Confidence Nargis Fakhri outfit: W For Woman Jewellery: Kays Jewels A self-proclaimed vintage soul, Nargis admits she's currently 'living her retro era.' Think tailored silhouettes, elegant lines, and classic charm reminiscent of the '50s. 'There's something about old-Hollywood fashion — it's like wearing a piece of history,' she smiles, 'It adds a unique sophistication to modern wardrobes.'
