Never one to be boxed in, Padma Lakshmi and her daughter Krishna Lakshmi (looking more like a twin flame than a reflection) grace the cover of Vogue India’s September/October 2025 issue, unveiling a stunning sartorial and personal narrative.
The cover story, titled “It Takes Two,” feels less like a traditional fashion spread and more like an intimate glimpse into a powerful, unbreakable bond. The featured images capture a sense of effortless elegance and familial warmth. One standout shot presents Padma in a voluminous, hot-pink trench coat over a matching gown, creating a silhouette that is both dramatic and gracefully architectural. The fabric appears to have a subtle sheen, capturing the light in soft folds that cascade to the floor, lending the look a sculptural quality.
In another image, Padma and Krishna are captured in an intimate embrace. Padma wears a fluid, halter-neck dress in a deep blue-green, with an ornate, beaded detail draping over one shoulder and a rich, velvet choker tied at her neck. The fabric drapes loosely, suggesting a light, silk-like material. Krishna, meanwhile, is in a vibrant dress with a bold, multi-colored abstract pattern, its thin straps and simple cut providing a striking contrast to her mother’s more structured ensemble. Their shared poses and hand-holding on the cover itself speak volumes about their connection. The looks feel deeply personal, a nod to both their individual style and the synergy between them.
As the accompanying article explains, the editorial goes beyond mere aesthetics. Padma, a supermodel, culinary icon, and author, reflects on her decades-long career, while Krishna, a budding actor-in-training, speaks about her aspirations and the profound influence of her mother. The text reveals a candid, humorous relationship, with Krishna admitting, “she’s still telling me, ‘Mom, just use me in your stand-up. I give you permission’.” It’s a glimpse into their easy rapport and the playful exchange that defines their bond. This shared sensibility extends to their wardrobe choices, which feel less like high-fashion armor and more like a second skin.
The spread is a testament to the idea that true style is a form of self-expression that transcends trends. It’s a visual narrative of connection, legacy, and the unique kind of confidence that comes from knowing who you are. The styling is a masterclass in understated elegance, from the simple, pulled-back hair on both women to their natural makeup, which lets their radiant skin take center stage. This curated approach feels more like a celebration of individual and shared spirit than a simple display of clothes.
In the end, this Vogue editorial serves as a reminder that the best fashion stories are often about more than what one wears. They are about identity, relationships, and the moments that define us. This particular entry into the world of celebrity fashion sets a new standard for what a cover story can be. So, is this a new era of fashion editorials focused on authentic connections—or just another example of Padma and Krishna Lakshmi showing us that their bond is truly inseparable?
Never one to shy from a sartorial mood shift, Emma Stone attends a special screening for her new film Bugonia—and proves that her quiet, subversive approach to red carpet dressing (a trend in itself) is far from over.
The fashion world has had its eyes on Emma Stone since the Poor Things press tour, a whirlwind of theatrical, almost gothic-tinged elegance that saw her become the physical embodiment of Bella Baxter’s journey. Now, as she begins the press circuit for her next collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos, the sci-fi dark comedy Bugonia , she debuts an entirely new mode. Gone are the elaborate gowns and cinematic corsetry. In New York City, Stone unveiled a look that was a masterclass in controlled, razor-sharp power dressing.

For the special screening and Q&A, Stone opted for an understated yet impeccably tailored ensemble. The look was built on a foundation of classic black, featuring a structured, single-breasted blazer and a perfectly-cut A-line skirt. The real visual surprise—a move that felt entirely in step with the film’s eccentric tone—was the rich, rust-toned top worn beneath the blazer. This pop of warm color provided a lush contrast against the severe black suiting, preventing the look from feeling corporate or cold. It was a subtle, thoughtful detail that elevated the entire outfit, giving it a sense of confident, effortless polish.
Julia Butters debuts a whimsical, retro-futurist aesthetic in a new 1883 Magazine spread, effortlessly fusing nostalgic silhouettes with a modern (and very playful) edge.
Julia Butters, the young actress known for her scene-stealing roles, takes on a new persona in her latest fashion editorial for 1883 Magazine , lensed by photographer Ben Cope. The series of celebrity photos captures her in a variety of moods and styles, each look a testament to a confident, evolving sensibility that bridges the gap between old Hollywood glamour and contemporary cool.
In one shot, Butters channels a disco-meets-punk vibe, wearing a sleeveless, black mini dress adorned with an array of metallic discs that catch the light like a constellation of stars. The dress’s high-energy sparkle and playful silhouette are grounded by a pair of chunky, black patent Mary Jane-style shoes with bold buckles. In another image, she shifts to a more androgynous, structured look with an oversized red suit , the blazer slung casually off her shoulders to reveal a simple, black bandeau top. The pants are wide-legged, adding to the relaxed, modern feel of the outfit, while her pose—crouching down—lends a sense of quiet introspection.
