Art has range this month, and everyone seems determined to prove it. Earlier this week, the residents of south Mumbai dressed up in their Art Deco best. The agenda? Celebrations for Art Deco Alive!, a twin-city festival commemorating 100 years of the movement across Mumbai and Miami. The evening was just one part of a busy schedule of events planned for the month. Tuesday night, however, was all about the looks—multiple layers of Chanel pearl necklaces, heirloom jewels pulled from family vaults, and elegant saris (see them all here).


Art Mumbai, the city’s favourite annual art outing, is also back this week, and the star of the show is Sculpture Park. Curated by Veerangana Solanki, the open-air showcase is dedicated entirely to women sculptors. You’ll spot Tapasya Gupta and Shiffali Wadhawan’s ‘Playing For Time’, a giant Snakes and Ladders-style artwork that turns climate anxiety into a game everyone can understand.


And if you’re planning to veg out at home, catch Jacob Elordi starrer Frankenstein, where there are a million fashion details worth revisiting; the red rosary on Elizabeth is the one people keep screenshotting. It cuts cleanly through the grey palette and has already triggered a dupe hunt on Reddit. Plus, those twenty-seven beautiful pieces supplied by Tiffany and Co. for the film.
