BOLLYWOOD’S MET GALA IN MUMBAI? Hollywood has its iconic Met Gala, where flamboyance and outlandish costumes are a mainstay, and Bollywood isn’t far behind. Last night, stars turned out in full force for the launch of a luxury mall in Mumbai. Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif chose to dazzle in fashion-forward gowns and vertiginous heels. While their outfits were impossibly impractical for a mall trawl or a good dose of retail therapy, we have to give them credit for trying to impress — the bigger and more voluminous their gowns, the bigger the impact. Being a maximalist in fashion was the credo of the night, and surprisingly, we bought it. (By Manjusha Radhakrishnan, Entertainment Editor)
