Modern horror unsettles us because it reflects life as it is: unresolved and unsolvable. It’s become elevated art, yes, but also art that tells the truth. What better examples of this than Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, a movie about systematic racism, intergenerational trauma, art and cultural vampirism, or Zach Cregger’s Weapons, which lays bare childhood isolation, familial trauma and grief? To be human is to wrestle with loss, to have to accept the passage of time, to know pain and grief. Horror shows us this in all its strange and terrible beauty—even when we look at scenes like the gruesome bodily fusion of two codependent partners in Together through splayed fingers.

Once upon a time, forever came neatly packaged in a diamond. Engagement rings today, however, are telling stories in colour, in texture, in shapes that don’t all look the same. Modern brides are choosing rings that reflect personality over protocol. Engagement rings are stepping out of the diamond’s shadow and letting coloured stones, vintage influences and offbeat silhouettes do the talking. These rings don’t speak ‘tradition’, they hum ‘individuality’ and remind us that there’s no single version of happily ever after.

Because maybe your idea of romance isn’t a diamond at all. Maybe it’s an emerald with character, a sapphire with a bit of mood, a Polki that nods to heritage or a pearl that feels timeless.

Here’s your guide to saying yes, with a little more imagination and a lot more individuality.

This one’s a showstopper, a constellation of Colombian emeralds, rubies and diamonds set with precision that only generations of craftsmanship can deliver. The deep green of the emerald centres the design.

Bring Her Back (2025)

Step-siblings Andy and Piper find themselves in the middle of their foster mother’s desperate attempt to supernaturally resurrect her dead daughter leading to a harrowing spiral of grief, guilt and trauma.

Nosferatu (2024)

However, it’s still possible for more cast members to be added. Fans are still rooting for a love interest for Maya Hawke’s character Robin—but she’s not feeling too excited about it. ICYMI: season four ended with Hawke’s character, Robin Buckley, finally making a move on her crush, Hawkins High’s resident clarinetist Vickie over PB&J sandwiches. Though nothing was made explicit, the Duffer Bros were probably laying the ground for a blossoming romance in the final season of the show, meaning Robin could officially get a girlfriend soon. However, there is a small caveat: Hawke is not entirely sold.

“I feel mixed about it,” the actor told Yahoo! Entertainment in June 2023 about the possibility of having an on-screen GF for Robin. “I feel like there’s that’s both a great thing, and I also love characters where their love life is not the centre of their existence.”

Instead of focusing on Robin’s purely romantic life, Hawke would love to keep spotlighting and centring friendship as part of her character’s arc, particularly her relationship with Joe Keery’s Steve Harrington. “That friendship with Steve is so special,” Hawke admitted. “Friendships have been carrying me through my life, and I think they’re really important, and they deserve their time.”

How will Stranger Things end?

Prior to filming the season, the Duffer Brothers said they were not entirely sure what this last season would look like, but they knew for sure how it would end. “It’s like that lighthouse blinking in the distance… while a lot of season 5 is actually pretty blurry, the last 30 minutes of it are pretty clear in our heads,” said Ross. “So if we can make the journey entertaining, I think that we have an end that will hopefully satisfy. You can’t satisfy everyone, but the hope is that it’s something that feels right for this story.”

The creative duo previously told The Wrap that top dogs at Netflix shed real tears once they shared their ideas for the arc of season 5. “I saw executives crying who I’ve never seen cry before, and it was wild,” they shared. And they are not the only ones who cried.

“The end of this episode when we were reading it—just us reading it—about halfway through, people started crying,” David Harbour (Hopper) shared. “Then about the last 20 minutes, it was just uncontrollably crying, waves of different people. Noah Schnapp being my favourite.”

Getting married in the winter looks magical. It`s even more magical due to the cool air, vibrant lights, and cozy places.  But the climate makes your big day more charming; however, it`s difficult to live in the heat without giving up.

To make sure that your winter wedding ceremony is visually and aurally stunning, it’s important that you dress effectively for the occasion. The use of these sophisticated, warm, and discreet textiles will make sure that you look excellent in the course of everything of the night, no matter whether or not you’re the bride, the groom or a guest.

However, what happens when you have your dream dress and are all set to rock the wedding ceremony? Wait, it is truly cold outside! Doesn’t it appear bad?

Picking the proper fabric for your wedding outfits are crucial due to these things:

• Comfort: You do not need to be cold and unhappy for your big day (or night). Satin and silk garments clearly keep you warm.

• Style: Rich, fancy fabrics that fit the holiday spirit are needed for winter weddings. Feel like you`re in a royal palace when you wear velvet, silks that sparkle, or heavy brocades.

• Usefulness: When it is cold, chiffon and silk, which might be too thin, might not work. Things you use should last a long time and keep you warm while it is cold outside.

Whether you’re the bride or simply going to the wedding ceremony, pay close attention to what your winter wedding ceremony outfits are made from. You can make a frightening occasion more comfortable and stylish in order that humans will consider it.

Let’s talk about some important things to keep in mind when shopping for your winter wedding clothes before we get into the best fabrics:

• Location: Is the wedding going to be inside or outside? If the occasion is outside, you may need to wear multiple outfits to maintain heat.

• The time of Day: As you select your winter wedding ceremony dress, keep in mind that the occasion will probably take place at night or in the evening, while it will likely be cooler.

• Your Role: Brides and grooms may choose thicker fabrics than guests because they will be in the spotlight for a longer time.

• Style of Life: Remember to be yourself! Choose a vibrant color in shape to go along with a gem-tone silk skirt. If you need to keep things simple, a silk saree is probably a higher preference for your winter wedding ceremony dress.

Let us talk about clothes now! Here are some of the most famous and useful wedding clothes for winter:

1. Elegant Velvet: The Traditional Fabric for Winter Weddings

Is there anything more fancy than velvet? It’s a winter wedding must-have to have this soft cloth. Here’s why silk is great for winter wedding clothes:

• It keeps you warm naturally, making it great for cold weather.
• There are “royal wedding ceremony vibes” when you touch velvet due to the fact that it’s far smoother and shinier.
• Deep jewel tones like emerald green, ruby red, and sapphire blue appear stunning on silk.
• Veiled outfits, skirts, sewn clothes, and more are all made from velvet.

Women can discover a stunning royal silk lehenga on the Indian Wedding Saree. In the winter, wedding guests usually have to wear a silk saree or lehenga in a deep, darkish color. You`re ready to go along with those large earrings.

2. Silk: The Most Luxurious Fabric for Winter Wedding Dresses

Another winter wedding outfit fave? Silk! This classic fabric has a natural luster, drape, and insulation. Why go “I do” to silk:

• Silk is lightweight and warm, making long-term wear comfortable.
• Its natural sheen looks great under holiday lighting.
• Silk is lighter than velvet, making it appropriate for winter daytime weddings.
• Silk lehengas, sarees, embroidered suits and fusion attire abound.

Silk sarees in emerald or royal green make for lovely winter bridal attire. Intricate zari paintings and wealthy contrast borders beautify our silk sarees, making them a super choice for a wintry wedding.

Silk lehengas are also ideal for winter weddings. Look for bridal winter dresses with long- or full-sleeved blouses for warmth. The matching stole or dupatta to cover your shoulders when it gets cold is essential!

Consideration for Fabrics Other Than Velvet and Silk

Winter weddings are characterized by velvet and silk, but don’t forget these wonderful fabrics:

1. Brocade

This hefty, baroque fabric has beautiful metallic thread weaving. Warm, regal, and ideal for bridal lehengas.

2. Raw Silk

Matte tussar silk is warm and rustic-chic. Perfect for winter mehendi or haldi.

3. Wool

For the warmest winter wedding dress, use a wool-blend. A wool-silk shawl or stole adds coziness.

4. Velvet-Silk Blends

Not sure between velvet and silk? Combine velvet with silk for the finest of both worlds! Very warm, luxurious, and adaptable.

Cosmic tip: Rebel and question everything, but fuel it with gratitude for all that you already have in your life.

Your words create your reality, so Gem, every single time you tell yourself, Let me finish this first, my goals can wait—guess what the wait. Every time you tell yourself, What the hell, I do so much for everyone, no one loves me—guess what, your brain begins to find more proof of you feeling unloved. While yes, it is important to be grounded and rooted in some semblance of reality because this is what really allows you to build upon a solid foundation, it is also equally important to allow your creative, imaginative side to take precedence as well. Yo u need to make your way into your list of priorities as well, so that the cosmos knows where you stand and what you expect to be delivered to you.

Cosmic tip: Mastering the physical is as important as mastering the spiritual.

A lot may have been in a state of flux, Cancer—specifically health-wise, be it physical, mental or emotional well-being or your finances or your relationship or a little bit of everything. And now your angels come in to help you exhale a sign of relief. If you needed proof, it is here—the more you are softening up, the more your eyes and arms are opening up to give and receive. The less attached to the material outcomes you become, the more the material real, including stability and growth, is drawn to you. The more you ask the cosmos, What is my task, the more opportunities to show up and shine are brought your way.

Cosmic tip: You are realising how everything is interconnected—and now that you have seen it, you cannot unsee it.

Sure, in the past, some of your decisions may have been influenced by your ego and what you thought was right for you in the moment. Leo, part of being human is making mistakes, but you know what is even more beautiful? Realising that you hold the power to correct these mistakes too. And now that you have sort of made your way through the fog, you may find yourself asking yourself, What am I here to do now? What am I here to offer and uphold? And with this revelation, you must remember that the true power you hold is through your light, not your shadows. And when you anchor yourself in this, you realise that no matter how dark it gets, it is your flame that keeps you finding your path time and again.

How much will you grind? How much will you fluster about? How much will you keep going with blindfolds on? Capricorn, the answers to your most persistent questions lie in your ability to show up—not only on the ‘duty’ front but also on the personal front. Do you realise that you function best when you feel emotionally stable? And this is your cosmic reminder to message that friend, to call your folks and to perhaps even rebuild a bridge. It is possible for you—trust the message you are feeling.

Cosmic tip: Be open and gentle to every life situation.

Sreeleela’s look hinged on a simple idea: how to make velvet feel light. Her peacock-blue sharara, styled by Tanya Ghavri, did exactly that. Cut in silk velvet, it moved with ease instead of weight, the fabric catching just enough light to show off its depth.

The drape slipped over wide, embroidered sharara pants traced with fine vertical lines of gold thread that elongated the frame. Along the hem, denser latticework added weight to the shape. The cropped blouse, with slim straps and a tasselled border, kept the proportions sharp.

Sreeleela’s jewellery—uncut diamond-encrusted chandbalis and a statement gold cocktail ring—picked up the gold accents without competing with them. The beauty look stayed pared back: kohl, nude lip and undone hair against the weight of velvet.

From Vogue’s fashion desk:

“Instead of a velvet sharara why not lean into the bohemian trend with a velvet overcoat or jacket. Work with a darker tonality like a blue velvet similar to Sree Leela’s sharara or a burgundy. Pair with a chiffon ruffled blouse and a pair of shorts. Pair in a velvet potli, tousled bed hair and a fun pair of boots to complete the look,” says Vogue India fashion associate Divya Balakrishnan.
