Tour de force tripsters

Melania slays it with print-a-porter

First lady Melania Trump’s outfit selection for the first meeting with our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Monday at the White House, has got people talking  — for good and bad reasons. The bright sunshine yellow floral dress, by designer Emilio Pucci, yet again revealed Melania’s sartorially undiplomatic side — and her love for big bold prints. Her signature broad belt that seems to accompany all her outfits is also creating a rage, with people commenting on it. Most people are of the opinion that the First Lady is trying to play it safe, while her husband does the opposite.

What we love: A digress from her usual knee-length dresses, solid and neutral hues monotone outfits, we like how the first lady has recently taken a liking towards floral prints.  On an international trip with President Donald Trump, Melania  sported  a bright floral jacket by Dolce & Gabbana in Sicily.  Fashion non-diplomacy? Double like!  

What is being trolled:  Quite like most celebs, the first Lady wasn’t saved from the wrath of Twitterati, who came up with a host of inane comments. From tweeting how the attire exudes more of a “garden vibe” for a formal meeting to her taking to the “sanskaari” concept (read: To avoid flak by covering up her legs) a little too seriously, her look garnered much talk.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, the fraternity has been congratulating Shwetha Srivatsav on her pregnancy! A little birdie told us that there was also an adorable maternity shoot for the mum-to-be. But the best picture clicked comes from the lens of her husband Amith Srivatsav. The candid shot of the actress was taken on what she calls “a perfect stroll” in the city. All the hashtags that support the picture — #beautifullife #babybump #healthylifestyle #morningwalk #hubbyclick, only go to show what a pamper-ful time she’s been having!

When

Musician Hemanth Jois is on a high after bagging the KIMA (Kannada International Music Award) in the Best Independent artiste category for his composition Tunturu. The talented guitarist and composer is currently seen entertaining music buffs with his band The Jois Project and is soon making his debut as music director in Sandalwood. Great going, lad!

Sruthi Hariharan is having the time of her life in Europe! The Sandalwood actress is giving her fans much envy of her adventures. After landing in Milano with Shanvi Srivastava and shopping till they dropped, she took off to Alberobello next. “By far one of the most beautiful towns I have ever seen - Alberobello From the outside the famous trullo buildings are tiny and for the lack of a better word - super cute ..but it is when you step inside them, that you realise the stories, secrets and traditions these stone structures safeguard ....Europeanhistory #purestlinen #whistleblowers #truille #allwhite#seaandmountain #liqueurstores #breathtaking,” she captioned a breathtaking photograph of herself in a breezy dress.

What

Are Sandalwood fans smiling about? A heartwarming picture of father and son — Sumalatha Ambareesh took to social media to share a sweet picture of her son Abishek and her hubby dearest Ambareesh. She captioned it, “The hands that hold me together, The laughter that lightens my heart.” How sweet is that?

Who

Changed his display name on Twitter? Namma huduga KL Rahul, whose name now reads ‘Nishchay Luthra’ on the social networking site. The batsman, along with other cricketers like Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant did so to show their support for 18-year-old skater Nishchay, who is preparing for the 2018 winter Olympics.

Gaurav Natekar of the Mahesh Bhupathi Tennis Academy is all smiles. His wife Arati Ponnappa Natekar has been recently nominated to be the junior coach for the team to this year’s Wimbledon. Arati is a Bengaluru girl who shone on the national circuit in her tennis career. Hubby dearest posted this message, “Happy and proud that the National Tennis Federation has nominated Arati Ponnappa Natekar as the junior coach for the team that goes to Wimbledon... also great to see support and confidence in her abilities coming from unexpected quarters...” We are proud too. All the best Arati!
