Giorgia Andriani turns heads with chic glasshouse glam

The goldfish standardTuesday was all glass walls blowouts and iced teas for Italian model and influencer Giorgia Andriani mdash who proves that even in a fishbowl you can still make a splashThe big fat fashion weddingIn all the mayhem that this month gleefully threw my way Irsquove missed dishing out the deets on Eka Lakhani and Ravi Bhagchandkarsquos wedding mdash which frankly deserves far more than a passing mention Because when a toptier film producer marries one of Bollywoodrsquos most indemand stylists you know itrsquos not going to be a quiet affairEka Lakhani and Ravi BhagchandkaFor the uninitiated Ravi has long been a familiar name behind the scenes while Eka orchestrates the wardrobes of heavyweights like Ranveer Singh Karan Johar Rani Mukerji and Trisha Krishnan Translation this guest list was always going to be stackedAnd stacked it was Midtown Mumbai briefly turned into a highgloss runwaymeetsreunion with everyone who matters showing up mdash and showing off Ravirsquos close ties with Sachin Tendulkar meant cricket royalty clocked in while Aditi Rao Hydari and hubby Siddharth pulled an allnight crosscountry dash just to make itKaran Johar with the brideOn the dance floor Ranveer did what he does best rocking the night away with solid support from Arjun Kapoor Meanwhile Karan stole the style stakes in a breathtaking Anamika Khanna ensemble elevated by intricate gara embroidery mdash styled no less by the bride herselfOf course it fell to other Alist stylists to dress the remaining guests Deepika Padukone for one delivering a moment in Jigya Patel with Shaleena Nathani at the helm Bottom line This wasnrsquot just a wedding mdash it was a fullblown fashionandfame summit where the guest list sparkled the dance floor didnrsquot stand a chance and the bride quietly reminded everyone that when a stylist gets married she always has the last wordGlamour and gravitasWith Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Alia Bhatt among the National Geographic 33 for 2026 the list itself lands on our radar Announced last week this honour shines a spotlight on a group of extraordinary changemakers ldquowho are rising to meet the most critical challenges of our timerdquoPriyanka Chopra Jonas and Alia BhattBut why 33 you might wonder Well when the National Geographic Society was established in 1888 it had 33 founders Despite this historical connection the honours are only in their second year with Bjoumlrk Don Cheadle Selena Gomez Jason Momoa and Edward Norton among last yearrsquos honoureesOf course there are names with less glamour and more gravitas on both lists mdash adventurer Paolo Fanciulli botanist Benedetta Gori and chemist Cassandra Rauert being a few But back to our girls PC and Alia Priyanka points to a childhood memory mdash a medical camp her parents ran in a small Indian village mdash as her wakeup callldquoSeeing so many people without access to healthcarerdquo she says ldquostayed with merdquo Meanwhile Aliarsquos love for animal welfare sprouted early when she was rescuing stray kittens and nursing them back to health mdash a passion thatrsquos only grown sharper over the years Clearly then impact comes in many forms from the red carpet to the research lab Some days yoursquore saving kittens others yoursquore saving livesBent bodies and broken promisesWhen people trumpet their quest for ldquodepthrdquo in a shallow world you would think theyrsquod deliver more than perfumed promises But fame has a way of masking a void Take the yoga studio that launched with glitter a famous endorsement and more hype than a celebrity wedding going viral mdash now shuttered leaving a trail of disappointed souls Clients hoping to zen out have found themselves lighter only in their wallets RefundsForget it And itrsquos not just pampered patrons paying the price Staffers too have been tossed aside like last seasonrsquos leggings mdash no severance no dues not even a polite wave goodbye Meanwhile the lsquoface of the brandrsquo is still out there flaunting her yoga pants and perfect posture carefully sidestepping accountability Glamour might have sold some classes but integrity clearly didnrsquot make the syllabusComedy CollectiveComedy really is a community mdash and nowhere was that more obvious than when Russell Peters brought his Relax World Tour to Mumbai on March 22 The room wasnrsquot just packed it was practically a roll call of the funniest in the game Nitish Sakhuja mdash a fellow Toronto export with that same IndianCanadian crossover appeal mdash set the tone as the opener In the crowd Viraj Ghelani and Atul Khatri were laughing like civilians for once while the energy kept building toward a micdrop momentRussell Peters and Taapsee PannuEnter Zakir Khan for a surprise cameo mdash and suddenly it wasnrsquot just a show it was a fullblown mutual admiration society ldquoI pass the torch to you brotherrdquo Peters declared in a flourish of elderstatesman swagger as Zakir stood there grinning mdash equal parts humbled and readyNot that the laughs were limited to comedians Actor Taapsee Pannu and husband Mathias Boe were spotted soaking it all in proving that when comedy hits right everyonersquos in on the joke Standup might be a solo act but the comedy world Totally a squad
