The captivating fashion of 'Made in Heaven' Season 2

The sartorial extravagance of the series has become a subject of interest among fashion enthusiasts

The captivating fashion of 'Made in Heaven' Season 2

The highly anticipated second season of "Made in Heaven" debuted on Prime Video on August 10. Developed by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, the series centres around Tara Khanna (Sobhita Dhulipala) and Karan Mehra (Arjun Mathur), close friends turned wedding planners who organise extravagant Indian weddings.

The lead actress Shobitha's wardrobe in the web series has once again become a subject of interest among fashion enthusiasts. Her collection, which features exquisite sarees and ultra-chic workwear, offers a wealth of inspiration.


Furthermore, the actress showcased her fashion prowess during the web series promotions.

Demonstrating a penchant for innovative silhouettes, Sobhita donned an array of outfits, spanning from distinct sarees to unconventional gowns. An example of her unique style is the Abhishek Sharma gown she wore to the Mumbai premiere of the show.

The outfit featured a printed blue base adorned with the designer's characteristic intricate beadwork. Her look was elevated with sleeked-back hair, a dewy makeup finish, and elaborate earrings.

During the opening scenes of the series Tara Khanna, played by Sobhita is shown standing apart from the revelry of a wedding, draped in a mulberry-hued brocade dupatta.

This shade symbolises the character's distinct sartorial identity, according to costume designer Bhawna Sharma who meticulously chose it to reflect her strength.

Bhawna, the costume designer for the second season told Vogue India she strategically employed silhouettes and colours to mirror Sobhita's character evolution from season one.

The character's attire transitions from power dressing—exemplified by cinched waists and corporate suits—to monotones during moments of vulnerability and softness during romantic episodes.

Recalling her detailed discussion with Sobhita, Bhawna emphasised that the character's fashion was not dictated by fleeting trends. Sobhita promotional outfits for the series showcased her affinity for experimental styles.

Throughout the season, Bhawna’s design process took her to various locations, from high-end design houses to local markets. In addition to crafting looks for eight primary characters, Bhawna was responsible for conceptualising the fashion for ten distinct weddings and devising a unique colour palette for family portraits.

She reflects on a few of her creations:

Radhika Apte, a bride in a silk handwoven Kanjeevaram saree by Gaurang Shah, embodied traditional beauty, accentuated by jewellery by Kalyan Jewellers.

While Shibani Dandekar 's wedding featured a bold Gaurav Gupta gown, reflecting the modernity of her marriage to a woman.

On the other hand, Mrunal Thakur’s bridal wardrobe by Tarun Tahiliani celebrated her dual Jain-Punjabi heritage, highlighted by red and white tones.

The show also explored a celebrity wedding against the stunning French Riviera backdrop, featuring a groom in a velvet bandhgala and a bride in a psychedelic sequined vermillion cape saree by Manish Malhotra.

Taylor Swift sweeps 2025 iHeartRadio Awards with multiple wins for Eras Tour performances

The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards lit up Los Angeles on March 17 with a star-studded event at the Dolby Theatre. But it was Taylor Swift who stole the show, picking up a stack of fan-voted awards and showing the world why she’s still at the top of her game.

Swift was the talk of the night. She took home Artist of the Year and the Tour of the Century award for her massive, globe-trotting Eras Tour. The tour, which kicked off exactly two years before the awards night, covered five continents and wrapped up in Vancouver in late 2024. Swift described it as the toughest challenge of her career but also the most rewarding. In a pre-recorded video message, she said the three-and-a-half-hour shows pushed her limits, but the energy and support from fans made it all worth it.

Will Smith makes a comeback with first album in 20 years, ‘Based on a true story’

Will Smith is returning to his music roots after 20 years with Based on a True Story, his first album since 2005, releasing March 28. Known for his early rap career with DJ Jazzy Jeff and later as a solo artist, Smith is now using music to tell his side of the story after a rough few years in the spotlight.

This new album comes after a long pause in his music career. His last full-length project, Lost and Found, dropped back in 2005. Since then, Smith has mainly focused on acting, with highs like King Richard (which earned him an Oscar) and lows like the backlash following his onstage altercation with Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. That moment led to a 10-year ban from the Academy Awards and stalled several film projects. But for now, Smith seems ready to reset.

Thames Water sewage discharges up by 50% in 2024 amid debt crisis

Thames Water, the UK’s largest privatised water company, saw a 50% increase in raw sewage discharges into rivers across England in 2024, according to newly released data. The company, which is currently facing significant financial difficulties with a debt of £19bn, released raw sewage into rivers for nearly 300,000 hours over the past year, a substantial rise from the 196,414 hours recorded in 2023.

The alarming data was obtained through an environmental information request by Peter Hammond, a retired professor of computational biology from University College London, and shared with The Guardian. The figures highlight the growing environmental and infrastructural challenges facing Thames Water, which is teetering on the brink of collapse despite a recent £3bn bailout approved by the court of appeal.
