You’re being backed at this time, Gemini – you have gained karmic brownie points, and have toiled towards settling some huge debts. Your life may have seemed tough, but really, look at the prized gems you have gathered enroute – your loved ones, your inner strength, your strong sense of self worth, those cherished times where absolute strangers became your strongest pillars and of course your very own treasure chest of ideas that sparks off something new each day. This part of your life is not about going solo anymore. It is acknowledging that despite it all, you nurtured your own family, by blood or not.
Cosmic tip: What you have chosen belongs to you. Go ahead.
This week was all about that effortless luminous glow as seen on Deepika Padukone, Aditi Rao Hydari and more. It’s the kind of radiance that catches the light just right, a subtle and dewy sheen. A look that lets the natural texture breathe with no heavy layers and cakey bases.
At a Cartier event in Stockholm, Deepika Padukone turned heads in a dramatic red Ashi Studio gown and a necklace from the house’s latest En Équilibre collection. Her base was luminous and clean, with a reflective sheen that enhanced her natural complexion. The eyes were softly sculpted with champagne shimmer, while fluttery lashes added a touch of drama. Brushed-up brows, nude blush and highlighter on the highpoints of her face pulled the look together. Her slicked-back hair was inspired by ’90s supermodel minimalism.
At the Vogue Beauty and Wellness Honours 2025 presented by Tira, Aditi Rao Hydari’s signature nude glam was on display. A soft wash of brown shades with fluttery lashes lifted her eyes without overpowering anything. A diffused pink blush on the cheeks and nose added a sun-kissed effect, and creamy nude-pink lips added to the look. A slicked-back bun was the ideal choice with her strapless Bibhu Mohapatra gown and diamond drop earrings.
Sanya Malhotra delivered a bold monochrome moment with a warm contour, coral blush and taupe eyeshadow. Natural, brushed-up brows and glossy lips brought the balance. Her signature curls were pulled into a loosely styled bun—textured, slightly undone and sultry in the most modern way, while the gold hand stack bracelets added a final gilded touch.
Kajol stole the spotlight in an intricate corset paired with a sleek, satin black sari by Torani. Her makeup was in sync—a soft matte base complemented by a bold, elongated black smoky eye and anchored by a striking black bindi. Softly brushed-up brows kept the look balanced. A subtle flush and glossy brown lips tied everything together.
At Cannes 2025, Simone Ashley paired her Vivienne Westwood gown with a minimal skin-like base. Soft pink blush warmed her cheeks, and kohl delicately traced her almond eyes, finished with a smoky wing that defined her gaze. Creamy brown gloss on the lips grounded the look.
Ahead look at some of the best beauty looks this week.
If you’ve only ever worn juttis with Indian wear, then a swift “how to wear juttis” Google check should nudge your inspiration. As someone who once flew to Amritsar with an empty suitcase and returned with 30-odd pairs of juttis, I can confidently say this: nothing catches the eye in an outfit quite like the unexpected pairing of hand-embroidered footwear.
Juttis are quietly versatile, genuinely comfortable and an easy way to make any look feel unmistakably yours. Consider this your “how to wear juttis” guide with pretty much everything, from a blazer to that oversized shirt you stole from a boyfriend. Skip them on days when the rain gods are in full performance mode. Even leather has its limits.
Tailored blazer
This unusual combination was discovered when I ditched heels for a pair of juttis; I have never looked back. It adds an element of your style and works just as well with wide-leg linen as it does with a fitted pair of tailored pants. Stick to the classic brown leather or tone-on-tone pairs for a cleaner line, or try embroidered juttis with an otherwise neutral look.

Oversized shirt
Oversized shirts are a wardrobe constant, whether they are borrowed, thrifted or just intentionally loose. Think of the ones you wear for your errands whilst holding an overpriced coffee. Wear them tucked in, half-out, or buttoned just enough with cigarette pants, flared trousers or slim jeans, and let the jutti add a desi spin.

Full-circle skirt
Whether it’s in silk, brocade or handloom cotton, it carries volume, movement and flair. Pairing it with a plain tee keeps things grounded. To add a layer of interest, something that doesn’t compete but complements, why not bring in a pair of embellished juttis? They catch the light as you move and hold their own beneath all that fabric. Elegant, but never overdone.
Light and a little rebellious—the kind of dress that feels like summer, even in September. Worn with juttis, it takes on maximalist weight. Opt for deeper tones, or something with mirror-work and unapologetically bright.
Maxi dresses tend to fall into two camps—romantic or relaxed. Either way, juttis can hold their own. Volume needs anchoring, particularly when the dress is all fabric and movement. A block-printed cotton number, or something pleated and near-monastic, can be the way to go. Let the footwear be the unexpected detail. If the hem swings just above the ankle, choose juttis with texture. Leather, brocade, something hand-dyed.

OG kurta
This is where the jutti began, the cheesy but evergreen Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi combination, but that doesn’t mean the pairing needs to feel obvious. Be it a co-ord set or a traditional kurta-pyjama, there is a pair that works for our beloved Indian silhouette. Work with fun contemporary accessories and sculptured jewellery to reimagine the classic.
