LUDHIANA | SATURDAY | 13 SEPTEMBER 2025 Michael Kors blends earthy & elegant Earth tones and a wanderlust spirit defined the Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2026 runway show on Thursday morning, marking the first official day of New York Fashion Week. Inside a centuryold former shipping terminal in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, guests including Vogue’s Anna Wintour and Chloe Malle, musician Suki Waterhouse, stylist Law Roach and actors Leslie Bibb and Gwyneth Paltrow watched as models showcased the 66-yearold designer’s new collection, inspired by his travels. “I really started with the whole idea that this was all focused on this blend of the earthy and the elegant. Why can’t you have both?” Kors said in an interview. Kors noted how locals in places like Indonesia and French Polynesia dress for heat in soft, draped kaftans and relaxed trousers. “But how do we bring that into the city? Because most of my customers spend most of their lives in big cities around the world. So it’s really the hybrid of the two,” he said. Models, including Amelia Gray Hamlin and Alex Consani walked in shades of brown, white, and black, styled with prominent jewelry; pops of yellow and pink punctuated the collection. “I’m always thinking about new ways of how do you wear your black, how do you wear grey, how do you wear neutral colours? Because if you’re busy, and you’re on the go and you travel and you are working and you’ve got a hectic life, you’re going to depend on those black pieces and there’s always new ways to interpret it,” Kors said of the palette. Michael Kors is owned by Capri Holdings, which also owns the Jimmy Choo and Versace brands. New York Fashion Week runs through September 16, with more than 60 designers on the official calendar. — Reuters Celebs attend the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women dinner during the Spring/Summer 2026 New York Fashion Week DAKOTA JOHNSON & JESSICA CHASTAIN SALMA HAYEK Chef Chaminda Silva’s Spice Route to Sri Lankaintroduces us to the rich, bold flavours of the island nation Mona As the Tricity’s culinary calendar fills up with diverse pop-ups, each more tantalizing than the last, food lovers are in for yet another treat. After Vietnamese and Rajasthani flavours, it’s now time to embark on a journey to the Island of Spices — Sri Lanka. Spice Route to Sri Lanka at JW Marriott Chandigarh brings the rich, bold and aromatic flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine right to your plate. Running from September 12 to September 21, the festival offers dinner service daily and special Sunday brunches on September 14 and 21. At the heart of it is Chef Chaminda Silva, flying in from the Sheraton Kosgoda Turtle Beach Resort. The celebrated chef is no stranger to Indian palates. His 20th stint in India, Chef Silva brings a curated menu designed to introduce guests to the vibrancy of authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, spiced to perfection and served with warmth. At the preview lunch, Chef Silva’s confidence was evident — and rightly so. His carefully crafted Sri Lankan thali, served traditionally on a banana leaf, was a hit from the first bite. The vegetarian platter includes Creamy Peas and Flavours of Sri Lanka Cashew Curry, Red Lentil Dal Curry, Fried Potato with Curry Leaves, Brinjal Moju along with rice. But it’s the sides that steal the show. The Sultana Pineapple Pickle offers a sweet contrast. The Peanut and Green Peas Baidun can give any chakhna run for its money. For non-vegetarians, the menu delivers a symphony of flavours — Mutton Curry, Prawn Mustard Curry, c m y b Black Chicken Curry and Dry Fish along with veg servings. Each dish brings a taste of the coastal Sri Lanka, elevated with spices that feel familiar yet excitingly different. The live counters offers Chicken and Egg Vegetable Kottu (chopped roti, vegetables, eggs, and spices, with a choice of meat like chicken, mutton or seafood). Their rotating menu is a blend of signature dishes from Chef Silva. Chicken and Soya Rice, Devel Pork, Chicken Kalu Pol Malu (a coconut-based dry preparation), Capsicum and Mushroom Tempert, Colombo Fish Masala, Sri Lankan Fried Shear and Dhal Wade along with soups and papads that are as big in Sri Lanka as in India. The brunches come packed with Egg Hoppers, Crab Curry and Lamprais – a flavour-packed banana leaf parcel of spiced rice and curries, baked to perfection. Chef Silva serves Indian biryani with a bold and aromatic Sri Lankan twist. While this Sri Lankan spread is sure rich for meat eaters, vegetarian too get ample to choose from too. Spice Route to Sri Lanka is on at The Café@JW, JW Marriott Chandigarh, till September 21, dinner daily, and Sunday brunches on September 14 and 21. ‘Couldn’t get Botox for a year’ Amanda Seyfried’s ‘sacrifice’ for The Testament of Ann Lee Amanda Seyfried opened up about giving up Botox and makeup for her role in The Testament of Ann Lee. It is a historical drama musical film co-written and directed by Mona Fastvold. It stars Amanda Seyfried as Ann Lee, the 18th-century founder of the Christian sect the Shakers. Seyfried gave her best for her role in the new film and made certain sacrifices. Seyfried said during the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of her film that the ‘sacrifice’ was well worth it. “I’m an actor and that’s my job and that’s what I love to do,” she said. “We did make sacrifices, and it was worth it. Every day was fun. We didn’t just survive, we thrived,” she added. She earlier spoke about forgoing Botox as part of director Mona Fastvold’s no-makeup rule for The Testament of Ann Lee. “I couldn’t get Botox for a year,” she said, adding, “That was a big assignment... When I first got (Botox), I was, like, ‘This is amazing,”
