When a young actor shares their last name with a yesteryear star, assumptions follow—that’s the star kid conundrum. Both a blessing and a curse, Bollywood today comes loaded with expectations, scrutiny, and a narrative shaped even before a debut. Cinema may thrive on legacy, but it rewards reinvention. A head start helps, but staying the course is the real game—and Ahan Shetty (@ahan.shetty) seems to have figured it out.

Ahan Shetty (@ahan.shetty) moves away from the quintessential superhero mould of Bollywood, emerging instead as one who seems far more relatable. The invincible, larger-than-life Bollywood hero has made room for someone way more emotionally accessible and real. “A decade ago, a leading man was often expected to be larger than life, flawless, and very heroic. Now people just want to see a character who feels real, and has a certain individuality,” agrees the actor.

Sudha Reddy (@sudhareddy.official) paid a majestic ode to her home state at the 2026 Met Gala, wearing custom Manish Malhotra (@manishmalhotra05) ‘Tree of Life’ couture that reimagined centuries-old textile tradition belonging to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Conceived in collaboration with ace Hollywood stylist Mariel Haenn, the ensemble comprising zardozi, marodi, resham and metalwork celebrated the storied Machilipatnam Kalamkari textile tradition. Realised over 3,459 hours by 90 artisans, the look featured a hand-curated metal upper-back installation in brass, copper and silver embracing motifs including the Palapitta, Tangedu, Jammi Chettu , Surya-Chandra and Kalpavriksha. This triumph of Indian maximalism was anchored by the breathtaking 550-carat ‘Queen of Merelani’ tanzanite, the centerpiece of the MEIL director’s estimated $15 million jewellery suite.

Fast fashion, once firmly positioned outside the realm of high fashion credibility, is finding increasingly strategic ways to enter the Met Gala conversation. Not through mass market replication, but through reinvention, collaboration, and carefully calibrated moments that blur the boundaries between accessibility and aspiration. From Kendall Jenner (@kendalljenner) in GapStudio (@gap) sculptural reimagining of the white T shirt, to Bad Bunny (@badbunnypr) in Zara (@zara), and Jimmy Butler (@jimmybutler) bringing Alo Yoga (@aloyoga) onto fashion’s most prestigious platform, these brands are carving out space within a landscape that once seemed entirely out of reach.

At LuXperiences 2026, Harper’s Bazaar India’s annual gathering where fashion, culture, and conversation come together, we caught up with some of the leading Indian designers on their earliest Bazaar memories, what luxury looks like now, and the one thing they’d change about the industry.

#BazaarIndia #HarpersBazaarIndia #HBLuXperiences #LuXperiences2026

As TUMI (@tumitravel) launches its Spring 2026 collection, Janhvi Kapoor (@janhvikapoor) lets us in on her dream Mediterranean escape, the landscapes that truly feel like home, and the one travel red flag she’ll never overlook again. It’s personal, instinctive, and all about travelling with intention. From sun-soaked coastlines to mindful choices on the go, her take feels every bit real and relatable.

Change doesn’t always begin in cities.

Sometimes, it starts at the roots.

Through her work with rural communities, Rajshri Deshpande (@rajshri_deshpande) is helping reimagine what villages can become—self-reliant, sustainable, and thriving. From water security to education and livelihoods, the focus is on building ecosystems that empower communities from within.

Because when villages grow stronger, everything else follows.

Raniwala 1881 Jaipur (@raniwala1881) adorned Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh (@pachojaipur) for his striking Met Gala debut. His look was anchored by the Gajraj and Matsya brooches, inspired by the elephant and fish, symbols of wisdom, strength, prosperity, and movement. Finished with handcrafted heritage buttons rooted in Jaipur’s Jadau legacy, the jewellery brought royal history and fine craftsmanship to the red carpet.

From the silver screen to the steps of Met Gala 2026—filmmaker Karan Johar (@karanjohar)’s fashion has always been cinematic. In conversation with Bazaar India, Johar reflects on his admiration for fashion, films, and storytelling as he reflects on the iconic looks that shaped his cinema and the evolution of his own style. All of which culminates in his Met Gala debut, blurring the lines between costume, craft, and couture, and bringing the theme ‘costume art’ to life in a custom Manish Malhotra (@manishmalhotra05) ensemble.

For decades, India’s craft traditions have quietly shaped the language of global luxury, often referenced, occasionally replicated, but rarely centred. At the Met Gala 2026, that dynamic felt notably different, as Indian craft emerged not merely as embellishment, but as art in its own right. From Diya Mehta Jatia (@dmjatia) in Mayyur Girotra (@mayyurgirotra)’s revival of Bengal’s Shola craft and Karan Johar’s painterly Manish Malhotra (@manishmalhotra05)’s moment to Sudha Reddy (@sudhareddy.official)’s Kalamkari-inspired couture and Rihanna (@badgalriri)’s Gem Palace jewels, the red carpet became a powerful expression of India’s heritage, artistry, and evolving global design language.

The Met Gala embraced this year’s “Costume of Art” theme, delivering some of the most unforgettable looks of the year. From Emma Chamberlain (@emmachamberlain) in a sculptural Mugler (@muglerofficial) moment to Hudson Williams(@hudsonbwilliams) in Balenciaga (@balenciaga), Rihanna (@badgalriri) in Maison Margiela (@maison) alongside A$AP Rocky (@asaprocky) in Chanel (@chanelofficial) redefining power couple dressing, and supermodel Anok Yai (@anokyai) in a custom look designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli (@pppiccioli), the red carpet was a study in fashion as storytelling. This year’s best dressed list was less about trends and more about transformation, where every look felt like a piece of living art on the Met steps.

The Met Gala embraced this year’s “Costume of Art” theme, delivering some of the most unforgettable looks of the year. From Emma Chamberlain (@emmachamberlain) in a sculptural Mugler (@muglerofficial) moment to Hudson Williams(@hudsonbwilliams) in Balenciaga (@balenciaga), Rihanna (@badgalriri) in Maison Margiela (@maison) alongside A$AP Rocky (@asaprocky) in Chanel (@chanelofficial) redefining power couple dressing, and supermodel Anok Yai (@anokyai) in a custom look designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli (@pppiccioli), the red carpet was a study in fashion as storytelling. This year’s best dressed list was less about trends and more about transformation, where every look felt like a piece of living art on the Met steps.
