Style divas in a New York state of mind
An awards night seemed like the perfect reason for different celebrities to go on a mid-year vacation to New York.
All that flaunting of shopping hauls and bespoke dinners on their social media feeds gave us a good dose of FOMO. What we really loved, though, was the chic summery wardrobe (maxi dresses, crop tops, sunnies, et al) on display.
Flaunting their shoulders were Malaika Arora and Huma Qureshi, both, in frilly off-shoulder tops with trumpet sleeves. We are already planning our next vacation wardrobe.

The event was held at EssZimmer, a two-Michelin star restaurant in Munich. For the event, the Indian chef chose to put up a dish inspired by the Kerala sadhya, as a tribute to his hometown. While at the event, a beaming Sreedharan also made sure to pose with Bobby Bräuer, who helms the kitchen at EssZimmer. He wrote, 'Such a humbling experience to be with the best Michelin chefs from all over Europe'.
