Regal revivals, fashion shake-ups, and everything new we’re obsessing over this month

If your group chat has been suspiciously quiet, don’t worry—we’ve got the update you actually care about. From jewellery steeped in royal nostalgia to major fashion appointments, cult collaborations, new stores worth clearing your weekend for, and a few add to cart immediately moments, this Cosmo Catch Up is basically your cheat sheet to what’s hot, happening, and headline-worthy right now. Scroll on—your style radar is about to feel very validated.

Regal Revival 

Tribe Amrapali, the Jaipur-headquartered jewellery brand, has come out with a one-of-a-kind collection in collaboration with The Palace Atelier, the official store of the City Palace Museum, Jaipur. The collection celebrates the Pink City’s rich artistic and royal heritage through contemporary design. The line includes statement necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings, all of which feature motifs that are emblematic of Jaipur’s regal identity.

In Case You Missed It... 

Following Olivier Rousteing’s departure, French designer Antonin Tron is stepping in as the new creative director of Balmain. For those who live under a rock, Tron has his own label called Atlein and is set to showcase his first collection for Balmain in March 2026.

You Will ‘Love’ These 

Don’t know about you, but the only thing that has us excited for colder temps is Onitsuka Tiger’s Astro Boy Love collection. It is a collaboration that’s bringing together style and storytelling through the iconic characters of Astro Boy and Uran. Love is the capsule’s central theme—love for family, friends, and humanity at large. Three words: Add. To. Cart.

Run, Don’t Walk

Ready-to-wear fashion brand Kanika Goyal Label (KGL) has marked a decade in the industry. And to celebrate, the label opened doors to its first stand-alone store at The Dhan Mill in New Delhi. The store is designed in collaboration with architect and interior designer Aayushi Malik, and reflects KGL’s vision and philosophy perfectly. Founder and Creative Director Kanika Goyal says, “This store feels like a culmination of everything we have been building towards. It’s our way of saying, ‘This is who we are, and this is where we’re going’.”

Love at First Spritz 

Please do yourself a favour and get the new Atelier des Fleurs Cedrus Intense by Chloé. Cedrus Intense, as the name suggests, is a more powerful interpretation of the iconic Cedrus from the brand’s Atelier des Fleurs collection. The new fragrance has notes of cedarwood, which transforms it from dry and woody into something warm, fluid, and tender. TLDR: It is basically like thirst trap in a bottle.

BRB, Screaming! 

Huge news for the fashion girls—the theme for the 2026 Met Gala has been revealed *drum rolls*. The theme is called Costume Art, and it explores the central idea of how the dressed body appears everywhere throughout The Met’s collection, no matter which gallery you’re in. It is about pairing garments with objects from across the museum to show how fashion has been long intertwined with art.

New Wardrobe Incoming 

The ready-to-wear fashion brand COS (an acronym for Collection of Style), has opened its first store in India, in— no surprises here—New Delhi. Part of the H&M Group, the brand is known for their exquisite tailoring and quality. Founded in London in 2007, the brand’s Delhi store has launched with its Autumn/Winter’ 25 collection. We are not strong enough to withhold from adding everything to cart.

Travel Stress, Begone! 

The premium German luggage brand, RIMOWA, has opened its first boutique in the capital city, following the success of its debut store in Mumbai. CEO Hugues Bonnet-Masimbert says, “RIMOWA’s ethos has found a natural resonance in India.” So, if you’re looking to splurge, let it be on this (your fave celebrity will approve).

Step Into the Mystery 

Allow us to introduce you to your new favourite hang-out spot: Lord Vesper at The Oberoi, Gurugram. It is a highenergy, contemporary lounge bar named after the mysterious figure of Lord Vesper, who embodies poise, elegance, and the art of unwinding. He plays the muse, and one can feel his presence in every detail. Oh, and did we mention that the space is divided into three experiential layers?

For Your TBR List 

Listen up, performative readers (jk), there’s a new book in town. The French luxury fashion house, Louis Vuitton, has released From Louis to Vuitton, published by Assouline and written by Arthur Dreyfus. It includes a visual narrative of the brand’s history and explores LV’s iconic creations, how they blend innovation and tradition, along with the contributions of its artistic directors.

Hosa Here 

The global hospitality company EHV International’s award-winning South Indian restaurant, Hosa, is now in Gurugram. The word ‘Hosa’ means ‘New’ in Kannada, and its spirit is embodied by Chef Harish, who has drawn inspiration from his travels across South India. He has created a menu that is distinctive and layered, and goes beyond the stereotypes. We’re definitely hungry for more!
