Hits & Miss: Alaya F, Jacqueline Fernandez, Rashmika Mandanna, and other celebs that scored well and poorly this week on the fashion charts

365 days, we are given fashion, and we create our own sense of style with it. Some people have it inborn, while others follow world trends to remain glamorous year-round. Every fashion enthusiast requires a role model because trends change all the time and frequently impact one’s taste. Our B-towns are the greatest at giving us just that. The business is full of celebrities that never cease inspiring our sense of style, blazing through red carpets, events, parties, and even airports. We highlight the appearances from last week that we will put on the “best looks” board as well as the ones that didn’t quite live up to expectations.

Hits & Miss: Alaya F, Jacqueline Fernandez, Rashmika Mandanna, and other celebs that scored well and poorly this week on the fashion charts

HITS:

ALAYA F

Alaya F was all dressed up for the promotions of her upcoming film Almost Pyaar with Dj Mohbbat. She uploaded images on Instagram wearing a pink outfit for commercial purposes. She grabbed her pink outfit from Revolve. Her dress features noodle straps, and the hem and bodice have ruffled accents. The dress features a slit in the centre that gives it a little sensual edge. The cost of her dress is Rs. 24,354. Her outfit’s single colour serves as a standout piece you may wear in the summer. Her ensemble was finished off with delicate golden hoops. She went for middle-parted chaotic waves with highlighted streaks to further spice up her appearance. She donned a brown lip colour, a bronzed complexion, a wash of pink on her eyelids, and mascara-covered eyes for the beauty segment.

MOUNI ROY

Mouni Roy’s admirers were pleased with a collection of stunning shots from a recent photo shoot. In a pearl-embellished little bodycon dress, the actress was a sight to behold. She was dressed in a seductive costume from the brand Dar Sara that was covered in countless pearls. A garment of a pearl lover’s dreams, in our opinion! Mouni’s show-stopping outfit was adorned with sparkly accents in addition to plenty of pearls. The dress also had a sweetheart neckline and noodle straps. Naturally, the actress opted to forgo elaborate accessories in favour of letting her gorgeous dress steal the show. She simply accessorised her look with a massive golden ring and a pair of metallic heels.

RASHMIKA MANDANNA

Rashmika Mandanna is now having a moment with her own sense of style, as seen by her sartorial choices. The actress is experimenting with a beige and gold tint this time, and her unusual combination of wardrobe choices never fails to draw heads. The actress selected a lovely coordinated set from designer Anamika Khanna’s racks, which included a top with an embroidered plunging neckline and patterned pants that just brought contrast to the ensemble. To top it all off, she added a stunning and distinctive shrug-style layer that had borders made of cutwork and delicate hand embroidery. She pulled this look off with ease, and her gorgeous hairdo gave the outfit elegance.

MRUNAL THAKUR

Mrunal Thakur is the epitome of style. On her Instagram handle, the actor frequently posts significant fashion cues for her followers to see. Mrunal A flurry of self-portraits from her most recent work trip to Bengaluru. Mrunal was spotted wearing royal blue pants and a mustard-coloured brocade jacket. The shawl collar of the mustard Mrunal jacket boasts golden patterns. She wore a white top underneath her jacket. She finished off her understated desi girl style by wearing silver rings and spectacular chandelier earrings. Mrunal had glass skin, glossy eyes, and a nude lip as she precisely separated her hair in the middle and left it open. Her outfit was completed with silver pointed pumps.

KHUSHI KAPOOR

Khushi showed up at The Archies wrap party in Mumbai wearing a stylish black dress from House of CB. Khushi’s minidress is a gathered, draped, and delicate design for an incredibly feminine appearance. It is one shoulder styled and has a flattering asymmetrical hem. We adored the high wrap neck with its sophisticated tie collar and strappy open back that falls nicely down to the waist. Khushi completed her ensemble with a pair of black strap sandals. She carried a black purse and sported delicate earrings. Her makeup featured pink lips, eyeliner, mascara, and sculpted cheekbones. She tied her hair up in an unkempt bun.

MISS
ESHA GUPTA

Esha Gupta is renowned for fusing the hottest fashion trends with her own distinctive flair. Given her track record, Esha Gupta consistently makes pleasant and unexpected fashion choices. However, her all-black outfit by the design house Huemn falls short of expectations. Esha had a highly intricate-looking garment, and the veil over her head was a little odd in this picture. Additionally, her makeup didn’t enhance the appearance in any way.

JACQUELINE FERNANDEZ

She is one of the most fashionable women around. For the Cirkus movie’s promotion, Jacqueline Fernandez wore this saree. Her dark eye shadow, excessive highlighter, and dark lips didn’t seem to work for her, but the saree is simply too garish here as well. She could have worn a garish saree and subdued makeup. Her elaborate jewellery gave the impression that she was headed to a wedding rather than a promotional event.

House of the Dragon premiered in August on HBO and recently wrapped up its season 1. Just days after the show premiered, it was renewed for season 2 which is expected to come out in 2024. While the season is still in early development, the franchise writer has teased ta Blood and Cheese plotline for the upcoming season.

House of the Dragon writer teases the gruesome Blood and Cheese plot for season 2 - “I don’t think you’ll be disappointed”

As Variety notes, per George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood novel, Blood and Cheese are the nicknames given to two characters responsible for avenging Queen Alicent, Prince Aemond, King Aegon II and the Greens on behalf of Prince Daemon, Queen Rhaenyra and the Blacks, following Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys’ death at the hands of Aemond.

“We are currently writing the finale of Season 2,” Hess explained to Variety. When asked if Season 2 will feature Blood and Cheese, she teased, “I don’t think you will be disappointed.” The foundation for House of the Dragon‘s Blood and Cheese plot was already laid in season 1.

As the upcoming season will feature a vengeance story, fans can expect gritty and brutal factors in the Blood and Cheese episode. As the outlet suggests, making sure that fans aren’t “disappointed” could likely mean that House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal, writer Hess and their team have written the most gruesome and graphic scene of the series for what would likely be one of the first episodes of Season 2.
