Let’s dive into the captivating world of B-town fashion where celebrities are turning heads and setting trends. Here are the best-dressed outfits that took centre stage this week.
Bollywood’s fascination with fusion fashion is palpable. It seamlessly blends global trends with traditional elements, resulting in outfits that are truly unique. Bollywood premieres and award shows are veritable fashion galas, where celebrities put their best foot forward. The red carpet becomes a playground for experimentation, with actors donning everything from exquisite couture gowns to tailored suits with a dash of Bollywood flair. Paparazzi flashes capture every bead, sequin, and carefully chosen accessory, setting fashion trends that reverberate beyond the industry. Bollywood’s fashion is increasingly reflecting the diverse tapestry of Indian society. Inclusivity shines through in the range of sizes, styles, and ethnic influences embraced by actors and designers alike. From body-positive campaigns to representation of various cultural backgrounds, it is taking strides towards a more inclusive and representative fashion landscape. In the world of Bollywood, fashion is more than just clothing; it’s an art form that breathes life into characters, tells stories, and ignites trends. With its fusion of tradition and modernity, authenticity and creativity, the Bollywood fashion industry continues to inspire and captivate both on and off the silver screen.

The New Year’s high is officially over. Champagne flutes have been washed and dried. The 2023 novelty glasses, tossed out with the trash. Bits of glitter and confetti all are but completely swept away. Remnants of what tied us to 2022 are fading, but one thing that hasn’t started anew: our fashion standards. Celebrities brought their A-games last year, so, as far as our expectations for the months ahead…let’s just say Hollywood has its work cut out for it. But if the first few weeks of 2023 are any indication of the style to come, we’re in for a treat. Here, find (and shop!) the best-dressed celebrities of January thus far.
While Rihanna has been laying low since the birth of her son, she delighted fans Tuesday by making a fashionably late entrance at the 2023 Golden Globes.
She and A$AP Rocky were the power couple to watch at the prestigious film and television awards show. While they skipped the red carpet, they couldn’t escape eagle-eyed fans, who were quick to spot the two sitting among the star-studded crowd throughout the broadcast.
Rihanna was nominated (for the first time) in the category of Best Original Song for her track “Lift Me Up” featured in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” This marked her long-overdue return to music after six years, and while she didn’t win an award, she may have won best-dressed.

For the occasion, Rihanna went for luxurious drama in a custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture piece designed by Daniel Roseberry. The jaw-dropping gown features a black velvet bustier with silk jersey drapé and a sizable stole in black bonded silk velvet. While certainly elegant, the gown’s puffed, cloud-like sleeves gave the look a playful touch.
The ensemble was completed with a pair of matching opera gloves, a black velvet Roger Vivier bag (this one to be exact), black heeled sandals and glittering jewelry. She quite literally shone bright like a diamond in Cartier earrings studded with platinum diamonds and a hefty choker from Cartier’s Sixième Sense collection, covered in platinum 18k white gold diamonds. Upping the playfulness of her look, Rihanna’s hair was swept up in a gelled-back pigtail buns, with a Josephine Baker-style curl framing her face.
Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky looked dapper in a modest black tuxedo that allowed Riri’s look to shine even brighter.
It was another busy year for fashion: Every other week brought another major headline, between creative director switch-ups, supermodel comebacks and viral runway moments. The industry proved it’s back in business — and louder than ever. That much was clear on the runways, on and off-schedule.
All those shocking runway moments have definitely set a precedent for 2023. Before the clock strikes 12 on 2022, relive the most memorable fashion shows of the year, superlative-style. Until next season!

Most Likely to Make Jaws Drop: Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture by Glenn Martens
Florence Pugh‘s red carpet domination continues at an all-time high with her appearance at the 2022 British Independent Film Awards.
The “Don’t Worry Darling” actor got all the spotlight in a flowy, pink satin slip topped with a tulle cape, all by Rodarte. The look is from the brand’s Fall 2022 lookbook, which helped fuel the already-rising balletcore trend when it first dropped this spring.
On the beauty front, Pugh went for a soft-glam face featuring a nude pink lip and brushed brows by Alex Babsky. As for hair, her short honey-blonde locks were slicked back by Peter Lux.

Through her collaboration with Corbin-Murray, Pugh has become one of 2022’s must-watch style stars. You can add this to her greatest sartorial hits.
