Highlights:

  • Mohanlal kept it timeless in a crisp mundu and shirt
  • Prithviraj & Supriya Menon looked like the perfect festive album shot
  • Malavika Mohanan brought in a twist with her kasavu saree with traditional jewellery
  • Malaika Arora embraced Kerala’s spirit with a kasavu saree, temple jewellery, and a warm Sadhya
  • R. Madhavan & Sarita Birje showed coordinated elegance in mundu and saree

Festivals tell their own stories. Sometimes it’s not in the captions, not even in the feasts, but in the clothes, the smiles, and the way people carry tradition without trying too hard. Onam this year gave us just that: celebrities, often dripping in designer labels, strip it back to something pure, elegant, and powerfully rooted.

Here’s who absolutely nailed the Onam vibe.

  1. Mohanlal: The godfather in white

The man does not need to try. In a simple, crisp white mundu. Simple shirt. A straight camera greeting. That is it. No frills, no staged glamour. Just the veteran looking like the festival itself: timeless.


  1. Prithviraj & Supriya Menon: The power couple

Prithviraj in a mundu with a printed shirt. Supriya in a kasavu saree with a gold border, her jewellery adding the final shine. The picture looked less like a posed post, more like a family album moment you would want to keep.


  1. Malavika Mohanan: The trendsetting twist

While others went classic, Malavika played. She wore a cream-white kasavu saree with a golden border, the drape beautifully, turning the attire into almost a contemporary painted canvas. Paired with ethnic gold jewellery, parted loose hair, her styling was classy, traditional and on point.




  1. Malaika Arora: When Bollywood does Kerala right

Bollywood meets Kerala elegance. Malaika in a kasavu saree, gold border flowing, finished with temple jewellery. Add to that a banana leaf sadhya moment with her mother Joyce also in kasavu. Warm, rooted, real. She got the spirit, not just the outfit.


  1. R. Madhavan & Sarita Birje: The coordinated class act

The couple matched steps in traditional wear, smiling in sync. Madhavan in mundu, Sarita in saree, it felt celebratory without being curated. Just a family, a festival, and a frame that spoke togetherness.


Onam 2025 looks

Onam does not need long stories. A mundu tucked neatly, a kasavu saree draped with care, a smile that feels familiar, that is enough. That simple, handwoven kasavu cloth does something interesting. It momentarily strips away the movie star, the influencer, the Bollywood diva. For a second, they all just look… Malayali. Connected. Because no matter how famous you get, some looks just feel like coming home.

Armani fashion journey

Giorgio Armani’s journey from window dresser to fashion emperor

Giorgio Armani: 10 chapters that turned a window dresser into fashion’s emperor

Highlights:

  • Armani began as a window dresser in Milan before sketching suits for Nino Cerruti.
  • In 1975, he launched his own label by selling his car, sparking a quiet fashion revolution.
  • His unstructured suits redefined power dressing for men and women in the 1980s.
  • From American Gigolo to the Oscars, Armani became Hollywood’s style signature.
  • He built a global empire yet stayed hands-on, shaping fashion until his final days at 91.

It’s strange to think Armani once stood behind a shop window, fixing mannequins instead of red carpets. He wasn’t born into Milan’s glittering salons or stitched into privilege. His journey started with burns from a war shell, with a mother who made scraps look elegant, with a young man who quit medical school because he couldn’t quite see his future in blood and bandages.

From there, he picked up fabrics, cuts, and the quiet dream of building something lasting. And against all odds, he did. You know his clothes. You’ve seen that look, the effortless drape of a jacket, the quiet confidence of a suit that doesn’t scream but whispers luxury. Giorgio Armani, who left us last year at 91, wasn’t just a designer, he rewrote how the world dresses. These ten chapters show how he carved that throne.
