From leopard prints to waist cut-outs: Kareena Kapoor Khan is serving looks!
is not just a Bollywood icon, she's a fashion force whose style evolution continues to inspire and impress. At 44, Kareena proves that glamour has no expiry date. Her latest editorial spread for The Nod magazine is a testament to her unshakable confidence, effortless elegance, and ability to channel a new fashion energy with every look. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Taking to Instagram Stories, Kareena gave her followers a glimpse of the striking outfits from the shoot, and each ensemble was a masterclass in high-fashion storytelling. From classic glam to androgynous drama, from breezy sophistication to fiery sensuality - Kareena served it all, and more. The noir muse Kareena kicked off the style parade in a black body-hugging number by Norma Kamali. The form-fitting gown featured a daring sweetheart neckline and a thigh-high slit, commanding attention with its sculpted elegance. Draped effortlessly over her shoulders was a long-sleeved leopard-print jacket, adding a punch of wild glamour to the otherwise minimalist silhouette. Celebrity stylist Naheed Driver finished the look with statement jewellery: a Hanut dagger pendant adorned with emeralds, rubies, and diamonds, and a bold cross necklace in gold and ruby detailing. The styling spoke of power and allure, a look that could easily belong on the red carpet or a Milan runway. Androgynous royalty For her second look, Kareena channelled fierce sophistication in a plaid ensemble by Rahul Mishra. The oversized double-breasted coat with its dramatically puffed shoulders - exuded a regal power-play vibe. Paired with high-waisted, straight-cut trousers in matching red-and-black plaid, the look was equal parts structured and playful. It's a modern, exaggerated spin on traditional tailoring, one that only someone as self-assured as Kareena could wear without being overshadowed. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Dreamy in pastel feathers Softening the mood, Kareena next appeared in a serene pale yellow gown by Taller Marmo. The off-shoulder silhouette flowed beautifully, punctuated by delicate feather trim at the neckline, subtle yet show-stopping. The lightweight fabric and sun-kissed hue made it a quintessential summer statement, perfect for seaside soirées or sunset weddings. Diamond garland earrings by Hanut added just the right dose of sparkle, proving that minimalism can still be memorable. The bold burnt orange moment The final look was a monochromatic burnt orange dress from Ralph Lauren, defined by a plunging V-neck and midriff cutouts that framed Kareena's waist with precision. The ruched detailing added texture, while the full sleeves balanced the boldness of the exposed waist. Accessories were kept minimal, just a bracelet and rings on one hand. Hair worn down and a fresh, barely-there makeup look gave the entire outfit a relaxed yet refined finish. Whether wrapped in structured plaid or sweeping feathers, Kareena Kapoor continues to prove that true style isn't just about trends - it's about attitude, authenticity, and evolution. This editorial isn't just a fashion moment. It's a reminder: Kareena doesn't follow fashion. She defines it.

Norma Kamali Resort 2026 Collection
Movies are a formative part of the American psyche. Historically, their influence has perhaps been strongest when times are rough; there are innumerable stories of people who found escapism and/or a reason to keep pushing forward for the price of a nickel or a dime at a theater. The fourth edition of Vogue World will take on Hollywood, in October; Norma Kamali arrived there early with her richly-hued, playful, even slightly decadent resort collection. Kamali asked a rhetorical question on our walk-through: 'What's the point where American fashion came into its own? To me, it's really the classic films of the '20s, '30s, '40s, '50s. I was thinking about how these films really are not celebrated as our fashion history. There was Vogue, there were fashion magazines, but they were very elitist. My mother and her contemporaries would go to the films to see hairstyles and styles to wear—that's how they would learn about fashion, makeup, everything. And so I was thinking, I don't want to do vintage retro, but the spirit of classic American fashion is alive and well on every red carpet; the spirit of it has never gone away, it's part of who we are.' Kamali inherited a film fascination that goes all the way back to the black-and-white era, from her mother. This collection has a section devoted to both of these hues. The designer tells a sort of winter wonderland story with the whites, pairing faux fur with sequins that have the diamond glitter of fresh fallen snow, and there's a whiff of Mae West-voluptuousness to a series of intricately patterned sequins on mesh. This group includes slender column dresses and what looks like lingerie briefs and panties, but which are in fact swimsuits. Why not bring a little bit of Hollywood glamour to the pool? Film noir meets punk in jersey pieces with patterns traced by hundreds of hand-applied silver safety pins. The majority of the collection, however, borrows its palette of deep emerald green and garnet-red from a jewelry box. As Kamali put it: 'We can appreciate black-and-white in moments, but we see so much more. And now with everything else [like AI] we're going to see even deeper.' In this designer's hands a Jean Harlow-style bias-cut gown becomes a technicolor dream. Graphic color-blocked second-skin activewear pieces added a Bladerunner / Kill Bill aspect to the offering, but the stars of the show are the long dresses, especially Kamali's take on the all-over sequin 'mermaid dresses' that were once favored by Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Monroe. Bias-cut columns with slit-open bat-wing sleeves also deliver Hollywood glamour (along with a riotous red Marcel-waved wig). 'This is my tribute to classic films,' Kamali said, 'the attitude of this elegance that's classic and timeless.'

Norma Kamali, the fashion icon you've never heard of
I decide, on point of principle, to make it my first question to Norma Kamali, the fashion designer who also has a side gig as the queen of positive ageing. How old is she? 'Seventy-nine,' she shoots back, grinning. 'I will be 80 on June 27.' Never, in all my years of interviewing both men and women, has anyone over the age of 30 answered that question so readily. 'I obviously have no problem talking about my age,' Kamali continues. 'I just don't relate to it. I don't think anybody does.' Pause. 'Eighty is somebody else.' Clad head to toe in black leather, she is sitting on a white leather sofa in her immense suite in a swanky London hotel, the kind that comes with

I Photoshopped My Face Onto 20 Wedding Guest Dresses to Find the Top One to Wear
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission. I have two jobs: a writer for Rolling Stone by day and a professional wedding guest by… every single weekend. Since 2019, I've RSVP'd 'yes' to over 40 weddings — yes, you read that right, forty. At this point, I'm essentially the human embodiment of 'Shout.' So, if you've got an upcoming wedding circled on your calendar and are already spiraling about what to wear, congrats — you've come to the right place. More from Rolling Stone De'Longhi Rivelia Review: Is it Worth the Counter Space? These Digital Gifts Can Be Ordered Online (and Delivered Instantly for Mother's Day) Knicks vs. Celtics Livestream: Here's How to Watch NBA Playoff Games Online Without Cable Not only have I created a complete guide to wedding dress codes — from black tie to cocktail attire to the ever-mysterious 'semi-formal' (what even is that?) — but I've also taken the liberty of photoshopping myself (with questionable skill, I might add) into various outfits to really narrow down your options. Step one in deciding what to wear to anyone's 'I do's' is figuring out the dress code, location, and season. Here's a pro tip: when choosing a color, consider where the wedding is happening. Is it indoors or outdoors? A tropical beach or a rustic barn? Think about these details and the couple's wedding aesthetic before impulsively buying that neon jumpsuit (don't do it). At a Glance: The Best Wedding Guest Dresses White Tie Wedding: x REVOLVE Claire Pleated Gown Black Tie Wedding: Norma Kamali Fishtail Gown Formal Wedding: Katie May Leyla Maxi Dress Cocktail Wedding: Reformation Arta Dress Casual Wedding: Hutch Corset Dress Need more clues? Scrutinize the invite. Study the wedding website. Stalk the couple's Pinterest board (on private mode, obviously). You might even pick up hints from what the bridesmaids or groomsmen are wearing, the venue, or the couple's hobbies. But if you're still confused, ask the couple directly — but do so in a way that doesn't scream, 'I totally forgot that your wedding is next weekend and now I'm panicking.' To save you from stress-induced outfit meltdowns, I've rounded up a comprehensive list of stylish garments you can grab online for every dress code, season, and photo-worthy moment. Browse my favorite picks below, and just remember, these photos are going to live on the lucky couple's walls forever — so there's really no pressure. Although white tie is much less commonly requested attire for most modern weddings, this dress code calls for what you'd imagine is worn at a royal wedding or diplomatic affair. Tuxedos are required and expected to include tails and a vest and should be accompanied by formal shoes, white or gray gloves, a bowtie, and formal shirting. Dresses should be floor-length gowns that are accessorized elegantly with jewelry and a clutch. A shawl or dress jacket is an optional pairing for formal dresses in colder weather.

Black Tie is a step down from White Tie in that tuxedos do not require tails or gloves, and you have the option to swap out the White Tie vest for cummerbunds. Dress attire remains relatively the same, however, a jacket or shawl is not necessary and less formal fabrics like silk or linen are acceptable so long as the ankles remain covered. Shorter dresses (long above ankle, midi, and cocktail) may be acceptable if fitted in more structured fabrics. If unsure, it's best to consult the bride before making a final dress decision.

Black Tie Optional or Formal is another step towards more casual dressing than the previous Black Tie. For suiting, tuxedos are not required however, a formal dark suit with a white dress shirt paired with a tie or bowtie, is necessary. Dresses can be swapped for pantsuits, formal jumpsuits, long dresses above the ankles, or structured cocktail dresses in formal fabrics. These are very minimal differences between the required dress attire for White Tie, Black Tie and Formal or Black Tie Optional dress codes so if unsure of if your dress is an acceptable diversion, we recommend consulting the bride for a gut check.

Suit colors can vary more broadly than dark or formal but tie or bowtie are still required.

Semi-Formal / Casual: Semi-Formal or Casual is the broadest of all dress codes. This means that when selecting an outfit, pay careful attention to location, temperature, and venue — all will be imperative to choosing clothing within the correct palette and theme. Suiting requires dress pants, dress shirt and tie. Matched or unmatched suit jackets are not required but can be worn in lieu of a tie. Dressing is variable and can include any length of less formal dress, structured jumpsuits, or elegant two piece sets.
