Fashion lovers, gather up! Once again, at the end of the week, we've got our best-dressed celebrities who owned every move in style. When it comes to slaying the A-fashion game, our favorite Bollywood ladies are experts. From Mrunal Thakur's boss babe look to Mira Kapoor's mesmerizing white appearance, here are the five celebrities who ruled this week with their style statements. 1. Mrunal Thakur For the first look, we have Mrunal Thakur, who channeled CEO energy in a satin shirt neatly tucked into formal pants, creating a polished appearance. The highlight of her outfit was a long brown trench coat with oversized silhouette that added drama and instantly grabbed attention. Letting her outfit speak for itself, she kept accessories minimal with cool sunglasses and styled her hair into a sleek bun, with front strands softly framing her face. 2. Disha Patani Bold fashion and Disha Patani always go hand in hand. At the F1 race in Monaco, Europe, the actress wore a wrap top from Jaded London worth Rs 7,050, featuring a deep neckline that showcased her cleavage. The criss-cross pattern around her waist became the real showstopper of her look. She paired it with forest camo colossus jeans worth Rs 11,000. Completing her style, trendy sunglasses perched on her nose and a brown bag hung from her shoulder. She looked absolutely sizzling. 3. Mira Kapoor A successful entrepreneur and the beautiful wife of Shahid Kapoor, Mira Kapoor attended an event in an off-shoulder long white gown by Simkhai, priced at Rs 57,300. The off-shoulder design highlighted her collarbones and shoulders, while the ruched pattern added a fresh feel and cascaded into a flare. The back was the real charmer with a stylish cut-out design. Keeping the styling simple, she opted for golden earrings, a watch, and a bracelet. Her hair was left open with a side partition. 4. Sara Ali Khan Exuding a fairytale vibe, Sara Ali Khan's bold look in a mini blue dress had us completely hooked. She wore a strapless, body-hugging blue outfit that perfectly accentuated her figure. But the real showstopper was her bag, featuring an oversized bow design that stole the spotlight. She beautifully enhanced her look with statement stud earrings and a ponytail hairstyle, leaving some strands loose for a soft touch. 5. Kajol Inspired by the look of Goddess Kali, Kajol donned a custom Torani saree for the trailer launch of her upcoming movie Maa. The simple black saree was draped traditionally around her pallu, paired with a glamorous, fully embellished golden blouse. She completed the look with a round bindi on her forehead and left her hair open with a middle partition. These five looks from this week are our favorites. These Bollywood ladies never fail to impress us with their fashion, and we can't wait to see what's next. Till then, stay tuned with Pinkvilla for more stunning style moments!

Kajol takes inspiration from 'Maa Kaali' for Maa trailer launch
Kajol takes inspiration from 'Maa Kaali' for Maa trailer launch Kajol' latest look for the trailer launch of her upcoming film 'Maa' is magically fierce. Her stylist Radhika Mehra broke down the concept of her look. Credit: Instagram/Radhika Mehra Radhika Mehra says that the look was 'inspired by the powerful energy of Goddess Kali.' The saree colour was reflective of ash-toned skin of the goddess. The saree was free flowing and the idea was drawn by imagining how the goddess might have worn it. Coming to the gold corset blouse, it was all about mixing traditional with contemporary. The corset is essentially a modern take on an armour. According to Mehra, ' it's bold, it's beautiful, and it's got that divine feminine edge - part jewellery, part power statement.' Kajol's custom saree was brought to vision by Karan Torani who runs the luxury clothing brand Torani.

Elevate your style with embroidered accessories. Here's how
In a country where languages and cuisines change every 50-100 kms (or less), it shouldn't come as a surprise that India's textile legacy is just as rich and diverse. From Kashmir, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh in the north, to Gujarat in the west, Bengal in the east and Karnataka, every state has its embroidery traditions that date back centuries. If Kashmir is renowned for its sozni and ari work, UP's chikankari and zardozi have brought alive the designs of many a couturier. An unfortunate part of the narrative is that for a long time, the contributions of the craftspeople (karigars) practicing these embroideries were mostly left out with nary a credit. Today, things are taking a turn with India's rich, intricate threadwork finding their place on the ramps and collections of luxury houses a la Dior, Chanel and Hermès and artisans being recognised for the same. India's traditional embroideries when made by hand are the ultimate sign of luxury. And Lounge's round up for the week, of accessories adorned with intricate Indian embroidery styles like dabka and naqshi, shows you how to add an element of quiet elegance to your ensemble. It is also a hat tip to the karigars and their craftsmanship.

San Leandro's Torani flavored syrup company celebrates 100 years
SAN LEANDRO, Calif. - The idea came from Italy with Italian sodas. They are now in cocktails, mocktails, and lattes. And all these creations, filled in colorful bottles, were made at Torani in San Leandro, now celebrating 100 years in business. "We're celebrating our 100th anniversary," said Torani CEO Melanie Dulbecco. "And it's finally our coming out party, so finally people know that we are made in the bay for 100 years." The Tori family is from San Francisco. They went to visit relatives in Lucca, Italy and brought back recipes for Torani syrups, and started making them by hand in North Beach. "It was a wife and husband team," Dulbecco said, "stirring it up, pouring it into the bottles and then going out and selling it in the neighborhood." In the beginning, Torani was making products during the Prohibition in San Francisco, so company officials thought it was wise to have a "brand experience that spoke to that time," Dulbecco explained. After the Prohibition was repealed, Torani expanded into liquors and cordials, but didn't stop there. "Fast-forward to the 1980s, a retired coffee veteran was in Café Trieste," Dulbecco said, "and saw Torani behind the counter, asked about it, and bought a few bottles and stirred up the first flavored latte. We even taught Starbucks how to make flavored lattes." Innovating and staying current helped drive sales, and that meant Torani was bursting at the seams. "In the last 34 years, we've grown on average 20 percent a year," Dulbecco said, "which means we've doubled in size every four years, and we are continuing on that pathway." They hired a team to look into the pros and cons of staying in the Bay Area or leaving. They decided to make the employees the priority. "Here's a zip code map of where our team members live," Dulbecco said. "This is the radius that we're willing to consider. Our goal is 100 percent retention when we move." Employee Carla Huerta agrees that Torani cares about the workers. "That's what I love about them," Huerta said. Francisco Santos, the production lead at Torani, said he is close to retiring after 23 years at the company, but he said: "I'm having so much fun, I'm not thinking about retiring." Torani makes about 500,000 bottles of flavored syrups a day, said Greg Philips, director of manufacturing, who explained the process of assembling the ingredients and mixing them up. A large portion of those ingredients is sugar. "The two largest tanks here are sugar," Philips said. "We go through about a half a million pounds of sugar every single day." There are 160 different syrups at Torani, which are invented through ideas, trends and food scientists who develop a flavor profile, and something called a gold standard tasting. There are even flavors called "rose," "white peach," "salted caramel," "dragon fruit" and "champagne vanilla," said Torani food scientist Mailyne Park. "I think people don't realize how many flavor profiles there are," she said. Dulbecco said that the variety of flavors shows what Torani is all about. "Flavor for all, opportunity for all," she said. "Flavor is, of course, what we make. It's also what each of us brings."

Syrup company founded in SF celebrates 100th anniversary
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — You've seen it behind so many shelves behind bartenders or baristas at countless coffee shops and bars. Torani syrups might be the secret ingredient that makes your coffee or cocktail as good as it tastes. But did you know those syrups started here in the Bay Area: San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood? Linda McMahon 'A1' blunder goes viral, steak sauce brand responds Timelapse: 'Pink' full moon rises over the Bay Bridge Torani celebrated its milestone anniversary last weekend with a pop-up event back in the neighborhood where the company was founded a century earlier. Hundreds of people lined up outside 1643 Powell St. to get in the doors for Torani's Flavor Factory Experience. About 3,000 people went to the pop-up over the weekend, according to Torani CEO Melanie Dulbecco. In 1925, Rinaldo and Ezilda Torre brought their syrup recipes from Luca, Italy to San Francisco, according to Torani's website. The first flavors were Anisette, Grendadine, Lemon, Orgeat and Tamarindo. Then, in 1994, Torani syrups went global and expanded to cafes and bars internationally. Today, Torani is headquartered in San Leandro. KRON4 spoke with Dulbecco to discuss Torani's milestone anniversary and the success of the pop-up event.
