Here’s a question: does fashion season ever completely give way? The answer seems to be a resounding NO. Because every week, there are ample events that call the attention of celebs and their glam team. It’s like a kiss from the prince resting on the lips of a sleeping beauty. Just when you think your fave Black stars have hung their boots for a rest, they awaken with springs in their steps, ready to dress up for the ball.
Last week, Mumbai called the stars for a memorable fete — the 2023 NMACC Gala, and it seemed they were already on auto-response. It was refreshing to witness the likes of Zendaya, Yara Shahidi, and Simone Ashley show up to the city, in theme-appropriate ensembles, ready to shake things up.
The Looks
Red carpet queen Jodie Turner-Smith lives like she’s golden because she is. The star girl was heavily clad in a golden Schiaparelli look from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2023 ready-to-wear collection for the Murder Mystery 2 movie premiere. The dress had a modish twist to its ’50s-inspired design. Who else was perfect to fuse this era gap and make it authentic if not the red carpet slayer herself? The solid statement eye-themed jewelry, glossy nails, and afro crown emphasized that Turner-Smith will always slay no matter what.
When celebrity stylist Lawrence Roach announced his retirement recently, fans sparked a conversation about who Zendaya’s new stylist would be. Last weekend, Zendaya and Roach surfaced in Mumbai for the 2023 NMACC Gala, and the beauty looked like she’d been wearing sarees her whole life—typical Zendaya behavior. The hand-embroidered Rahul Mishra saree had an interesting flying crane bralette. The excess fabric swished as she swashed through the carpet. Elegance truly knows her by name.
Megan Thee Stallion attended the CMT Music Awards, which was held in Texas, in a custom blue Defaïence cutout dress. The waistline buckle detail was apt for a Texas event, and the earring matching the belt cutout was a genius idea only a talented stylist like Roach could pull off. Wearing her natural hair on the market was a smart style choice, and it looked not an ounce abort of gorgeous.
