Ivanka&nbsp;Trump continued her support for desi&nbsp;on the first family's last day in India. The daughter of the US President wore an ivory&nbsp;anarkali&nbsp;suit by designer&nbsp;Rohit Bal&nbsp;for the&nbsp;special dinner hosted by President Ram Nath Kovind&nbsp;at Rashtrapati&nbsp;Bhawan. The floral-embroidered suit featured a&nbsp;bandhgala-style collar from Bal's&nbsp;Guldastah collection. First lady Melania&nbsp;Trump wore a Carolina Herrera dress again for the same event. Her choice was a&nbsp;bubblegum pink long gown complimented by&nbsp;golden jhumkas from Amrapali Jewels.

'Consent, Consent, Consent' flashed the neon set lights at Dior's latest ready-to-wear show in Paris. The house's first ever female designer, Maria Grazia Chiuri, continues to explore her touchstone of feminism for her fall-winter 2020 designs.&nbsp;The set, the fruit of a collaboration with artist Claire Fontaine, made a strong impact on VIP guests,&nbsp;one day after Harvey Weinstein was convicted of rape and sexual assault and led off to prison in handcuffs.&nbsp;The rest of the show featured diverse silhouettes that delved in and out of the rich Dior archives such as checks, polka dots, knitwear in jackets, shirts and pants.&nbsp;

US first lady Melania&nbsp;Trump kept things all-white on the second day of India visit as well.

Interestingly, the Proenza&nbsp;Schouler&nbsp;patterned dress costs&nbsp;Rs 1,71,331 and this is the second time the president's daughter is wearing it. The first time, she wore the outfit on a visit to Argentina. The repeat&nbsp;is being lauded as an important statement in support of sustainability.&nbsp;

Known for doing the most at his runways, Phillipp&nbsp;Plein's&nbsp;Milan was not a surprise but it did ruffle some feathers. Plein&nbsp;staged a tribute to late basketball star Kobe Bryant that featured crystal-strewn&nbsp;Lakers-style jerseys and sweatshirts and Bryant's number, 24 but many found the collection to be in bad&nbsp;taste. While he announced that a portion of the proceeds will go the Mamba &amp; Mambacita Sports Foundation in memory of the Nike athlete and his daughter Gianna, people called accused Plein&nbsp;of 'vanity' and of trying to 'cash in on a tragedy.'&nbsp;

The US first family arrived in India in style. First lady&nbsp;Melania&nbsp;Trump chose a clean cream pantsuit designed by American designer Herve&nbsp;Pierre. she paired the look with an olive&nbsp;green sash around her waist made from a Indian&nbsp;silk with golden embroidery.&nbsp;President Donald Trump caught the eye in a bright yellow neck-tie on day one of the visit.&nbsp;Daughter Ivanka&nbsp;Trump chose a baby blue summer dress with a bold flower pattern for the occasion.&nbsp;

The fashion crowd put a defiant face against the spread of a new virus, packing runway shows on the last big day of Milan Fashion Week on Sunday.&nbsp;Even as the shows went on, the coronavirus threat cast a strange mood over the Italian fashion capital where the confirmed cases of COVID-19 have jumped to atleast 150.&nbsp;Paying no heed to the current affairs, designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana showed&nbsp;many iterations of black dresses, including experiments with cozy, enveloping knits in over-sized stitching.&nbsp;

The fashion choices of first ladies are as political as they are personal. Ahead of US first family's India visit, here are some style lessons from America's most stylish first ladies.
Mamie Eisenhower was a pioneer of American trends in the 50s and 60s, becoming an early adopter of printed dresses, pretty necklines and outlandish hats.
Her successor&nbsp;Jackie Kennedy's style left a lasting legacy. From her&nbsp;glam-meets-preppy suits and sheath dresses to her memorable round sunglasses, Jackie's style continues to inspire modern generations.&nbsp;
Pat Nixon was known for her daring looks.&nbsp;She loved to pair cropped short-sleeved jackets with dresses but was often spotted in fancy gowns as well.
Many may know this by now thanks to her own&nbsp;presidential race but Hilary Clinton's pantsuits have always set her apart from the other first ladies of the world.
Most recently, it is Michelle Obama's style&nbsp;--full of&nbsp;sundresses, bold patterns and the lack of sleeves that makes headlines even after her husband's presidency ended.
Let's see what the current first lady Melania&nbsp;Trump will choose to wear on her trip to India.&nbsp;

Black power suits with sensuous cut-out slashes and jackets&nbsp;made from double-bonded textiles, fashion designer&nbsp;Donatella Versace showed that she is and always will be all about the power woman.&nbsp;The brand's fall collection was presented in Milan against a liquid background of melting Medusas, and that movement was reflected in distorted Barocco prints and geode patterns on her garments.&nbsp;This season was also about menswear, as Versace presented her first-ever co-ed show.&nbsp;Menswear and womenswear were perfectly mirrored, from black business suits to casual sports and knitwear to funky evening wear.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In his latest collection for his youthful Emporio Armani line, Giorgio Armani offered women a range of options that went beyond the norm. The collection, showcased in Milan, took a stand against trends, targeting youthful dressers who are not necessarily that young. For next fall and winter, the designer unveiled a&nbsp;clothing and accessories designed from recycled, organic or regenerated materials.&nbsp;Made from sustainable fabrics, the line had a variety of jackets and draping variations in&nbsp;pants.

Italian luxury brand Fendi&nbsp;hoped to lay emphasis on curves and strong shapes for its show at the Milan Fashion Week. Coats and dresses were coupled with puffed and voluminous sleeves. The collection went big on cinched waists with a muted colour palette. Looks were finished with either ankle-strapped pumps or satin booties. The showroom was designed to signify that this is a place where a woman can project power.

Minimalism was made to look pretty at Jil Sander's show at Milan Fashion Week. Outfits were accompanied with ruffling hemlines and silky fringes. The colour palette included pale shades of ivory, yellow and stronger tones of navy blue, black and red. Voluminous bubble coats with puffy arms and belted jackets took over the runway.

Gucci kicked-off Milan Fashion Week with a theatrical spectacle&nbsp;for its Fall/Winter 2020 show.&nbsp;Back-stage secrets were out in the open as the presentation was held in a circular show room where models got ready on a rotating runway, giving a glimpse into what happens behind-the-scenes. Creative director Alessandro Michele explored children's clothes for adults. The collection was about the freedom of self-expression and combined costuming with eccentricity. The show, called The Ritual, saw models pose like mannequins staring back at the audience. From a baby-doll dress worn with patent leather collar to tiered-ball gowns straight from a drama, every look seemed to play a certain eclectic character.

Ball gowns, mermaid trains and fit-and-flare hemlines -- if you're ever dreamed of having&nbsp;a Disney princess wedding, now is your time. Bridal retailer Allure Bridal has tied up with Disney to launch a&nbsp;Disney Fairy Tale Weddings collection inspired by popular princesses like Ariel, Cinderella among others. The brand has released some sketches of what the line will look like but the full line will be revealed at the New York Bridal Fashion Week in April. The gowns will retail between&nbsp;$3,500 to $10,000.&nbsp;

Luxury fashion&nbsp;houses&nbsp;Chanel and Prada have cancelled their upcoming fashion shows in Asia due to the coronavirus&nbsp;outbreak. Chanel's&nbsp;show was scheduled for May in Beijing and Prada's&nbsp;in Japan. The fashion houses have not scheduled a new date for the shows yet.&nbsp;

Bollywood stars dazzled on the red carpet for the 6th edition of the Nykaa Femina Beauty Awards 2020 on Tuesday in Mumbai. The event picked out best products from over 200 categories. Deepika Padukone, who was crowned&nbsp;Powerful Performer of the Year,&nbsp;looked gorgeous in a black gown with statement sleeves by Yanina Couture. She dedicated her award to acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. Katrina Kaif, who took the Beauty Entrepreneur award,&nbsp;looked dreamy in a white dress by Alex Perry. It was all about shimmer for Beauty Icon winner Anushka Sharma in a metallic dress. Ananya Pandey, who bagged the Exciting Fresh Face award sparkled in a Tinker Bell-style dress by Amit Aggarwal. The star-studded event also saw Kartik Aryan, Aditi Rao Hydari and Alaya F in attendance.

If you thought only a belt does the trick for loose jeans, you've probably not seen this hack. There's a simpler technique that's going viral thanks to a TikTok&nbsp;user. All you need is a shoe lace to fix&nbsp;ill-fitted jeans. The video has already garnered&nbsp;nine million views!&nbsp;
