The captivating fashion of 'Made in Heaven' Season 2

The sartorial extravagance of the series has become a subject of interest among fashion enthusiasts

The captivating fashion of 'Made in Heaven' Season 2

The highly anticipated second season of "Made in Heaven" debuted on Prime Video on August 10. Developed by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, the series centres around Tara Khanna (Sobhita Dhulipala) and Karan Mehra (Arjun Mathur), close friends turned wedding planners who organise extravagant Indian weddings.

The lead actress Shobitha's wardrobe in the web series has once again become a subject of interest among fashion enthusiasts. Her collection, which features exquisite sarees and ultra-chic workwear, offers a wealth of inspiration.


Furthermore, the actress showcased her fashion prowess during the web series promotions.

Demonstrating a penchant for innovative silhouettes, Sobhita donned an array of outfits, spanning from distinct sarees to unconventional gowns. An example of her unique style is the Abhishek Sharma gown she wore to the Mumbai premiere of the show.

The outfit featured a printed blue base adorned with the designer's characteristic intricate beadwork. Her look was elevated with sleeked-back hair, a dewy makeup finish, and elaborate earrings.

During the opening scenes of the series Tara Khanna, played by Sobhita is shown standing apart from the revelry of a wedding, draped in a mulberry-hued brocade dupatta.

This shade symbolises the character's distinct sartorial identity, according to costume designer Bhawna Sharma who meticulously chose it to reflect her strength.

Bhawna, the costume designer for the second season told Vogue India she strategically employed silhouettes and colours to mirror Sobhita's character evolution from season one.

The character's attire transitions from power dressing—exemplified by cinched waists and corporate suits—to monotones during moments of vulnerability and softness during romantic episodes.

Recalling her detailed discussion with Sobhita, Bhawna emphasised that the character's fashion was not dictated by fleeting trends. Sobhita promotional outfits for the series showcased her affinity for experimental styles.

Throughout the season, Bhawna’s design process took her to various locations, from high-end design houses to local markets. In addition to crafting looks for eight primary characters, Bhawna was responsible for conceptualising the fashion for ten distinct weddings and devising a unique colour palette for family portraits.

She reflects on a few of her creations:

While Shibani Dandekar 's wedding featured a bold Gaurav Gupta gown, reflecting the modernity of her marriage to a woman.

On the other hand, Mrunal Thakur’s bridal wardrobe by Tarun Tahiliani celebrated her dual Jain-Punjabi heritage, highlighted by red and white tones.

Mounjaro’s highest dose to rise from £122 to £247.50, not £330

Highlights:

  • Eli Lilly had announced a steep price rise of up to 170% for Mounjaro.
  • A new discount deal with UK suppliers will limit the increase for patients.
  • Pharmacies will still apply a mark-up, but consumer costs are expected to rise less than initially feared.
  • NHS pricing remains unaffected due to separate arrangements.

Eli Lilly has agreed a discounted supply deal for its weight-loss drug Mounjaro, easing fears of a sharp rise in costs for UK patients. The new arrangement means that, from September, pharmacies and private services will face smaller wholesale increases than first expected, limiting the impact on consumers.

Why the price rise was announced

Earlier this month, Eli Lilly said it would raise Mounjaro’s list price by as much as 170%, which could have pushed the highest monthly dose from £122 to £330. The company argued that UK pricing needed to align more closely with higher costs in Europe and the United States.
