The girls have taken over at Paris Fashion Week. Along with the shows, I’ve been equally riveted by all the front row action—Anne Hathaway in above-the-elbow gloves and Meghan Markle giving mother vibes at Balenciaga; Lana Del Rey in a purple gown at Alessandro Michele for Valentino; Kim Kardashian debuting her new pixie cut at AlaĆÆa; or all the chic tailoring worn by Charlize Theron, Gwendoline Christie, and other stars at Sarah Burton’s show for Givenchy. This was the season of debuts, so while the shows themselves have received wildly mixed reactions (thoughts on Jean Paul Gaultier? And Dior?), the red carpet is delivering on the glamour that our eyes sorely needed.


Closer to home, there was plenty of glamour at the Bvlgari Serpenti Infinito exhibition that opened last week with a grand party at the NMACC, Mumbai. PC was there. So was Tamannaah Bhatia and Masaba, making it a real showcase of the infinite ways you can wear the brand’s now-iconic Serpenti motif.


So, while you’re waiting for Matthieu Blazy’s debut Chanel show tonight (FYI: it’s at midnight for us here in India), why not catch up on your reading material from The Nod?
