“Bespoke contemporary” brand In House may only be three months old, but for founder Rheanna Henney, the concept is years in the making. “It’s been an idea that’s existed inside of me for a long time; it is really the embodiment of my life and the person I am,” she tells …

Bulk budget buys: This is where parents will spend a lot of their time but hopefully not a lot of their hard-earned cash. You can find tons of everyday staples—at some of their lowest prices—at big-box retailers. Parents we polled say these types of clothes are great for the messier activities (an afternoon at the playground or an arts-and-crafts class, for example), plus are must-haves for the extra set of clothes your daycare or preschool will ask you to stock in your child’s cubby.
Elevated essentials and special-occasion outfits: Tap here for certified organic cotton clothing, extra durable sleepwear, and plenty of photogenic ’fits. This section is where you’ll find quality sweaters and jackets for cold weather, baby swimsuits (with UV protection!) for summer, the sweetest shoes for those first steps, and even some designer duds for the littlest party guests.
How much should I spend on baby clothes?
Exactly how much you should spend on baby clothes directly correlates with your personal budget. You can easily find baby clothes that cost upward of $40 per piece, but keep in mind: Babies, especially newborns, grow out of their clothing very quickly. Plus, babies’ clothing takes a beating from things like spit-up, diaper blowouts, and—later—food messes. Because of this, we recommend more budget-friendly pieces in the range of $10 to $20 per item. Shopping sales and secondhand is also a good strategy to score some of those more expensive, special-occasion pieces.
Whether you’re searching for organic-only options, going for neutrals, or trying to cram in as many mommy-and-me outfits as you can while they’re still agreeable, we’re pleased to help you shop some of the best baby clothes around, according to parents we polled.
Malaika Arora has often been on the receiving end of judgment, and recently, the actress opened up about it in a heartfelt interview. The actress was previously married to Arbaaz Khan and was dating Arjun Kapoor after their divorce. However, Arjun and Malaika broke up last year.
Opening up on the judgment, she told Hindustan Times, “It was tough because people love to tell you what you should or shouldn’t be. I was judged for my career, my clothes, my relationships – you name it. But the day I stopped explaining myself was the day I felt free. My biggest takeaway. The only narrative that matters is the one you write for yourself.”
Malaika further stated that she has been called too bold and outspoken, but she wears it like a crown now. The actress continued, “I’ve been called too bold, too outspoken, too everything. And honestly, I wear it like a crown now. If I am too much for someone, they are probably not enough for me. Whether in fashion, fitness or just film choices I’ve made, I’ve never followed a formula. I’ve always believed that real confidence comes when you stop performing for the world and start living for yourself.”
She then revealed that there are days when she questions herself, but she has learnt to meet those moments with kindness rather than criticism. Meanwhile, on the work front, Malaika Arora is set to make a special appearance in a song in Thama. The Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna starrer will be releasing in October this year. She was previously seen in the song Majha Yek Number from the Marathi film Yek Number. She is also known for her dance numbers Chaiyya Chaiyya with Shah Rukh Khan, Gur Naalo Ishq Mitha, Kaal Dhamaal and Munni Badnaam Hui.

Too bold, too outspoken, too everything – these labels have followed Malaika Arora throughout her career in Bollywood. For a long time, she fought them, even justifying herself. However, she’s now embracing these tags as her crown. She shares the day she stopped explaining herself was the day she felt truly free.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Malaika opened up about being judged throughout her life, often labeled as ‘too bold’ or ‘too outspoken’.
Looking back at how tough it was to take control of her own narrative, Malaika reveals that the criticism and judgments stopped when she stopped justifying herself. That being said, she doesn’t feel the need to explain herself anymore.
“It was tough because people love to tell you what you should or shouldn’t be. I was judged for my career, my clothes, my relationships – you name it. But the day I stopped explaining myself was the day I felt free. My biggest takeaway? The only narrative that matters is the one you write for yourself,” Malaika said.
Malaika, who was previously married to actor-producer Arbaaz Khan, with whom she shares a son, admits that people called her “too loud, too much, too bold” all the time.
“I’ve been called too bold, too outspoken, too everything. And honestly? I wear it like a crown now. If I’m “too much” for someone, they’re probably not enough for me,” shares the star, whose last public relationship was with actor Arjun Kapoor.
There are times when Malaika stumbles upon projects and collaborations that mirror her journey. She grabs it with pride and joy. Her latest association with cosmetics brand HYUE as the face of its new campaign titled Own It.
“Whether in fashion, fitness, or just the choices I’ve made, I’ve never followed a formula. I’ve always believed that real confidence comes when you stop performing for the world and start living for yourself,” says the mother of one.
“It (the association) felt like they were telling my story through beauty. I’ve had to fight labels, opinions, and expectations all my life. So Own It isn’t just a tagline to me – it’s my lived reality,” she added.
Like many, Malaika isn’t immune to self-doubt, and there are days when uncertainty creeps in, leaving her questioning herself. However, she has learnt to embrace those moments with kindness.
“Self-doubt is human—it never really disappears. There are days when I question myself, just like anyone else. But over the years, I’ve learned to meet those moments with kindness rather than criticism,” Malaika confesses.
She adds, “Confidence, for me, isn’t about never doubting—it’s about moving forward with grace despite it.”

Reflecting on her experiences at prestigious events like Gucci shows, the Cannes red carpet, and The Met, Alia explains that these occasions are about far more than fashion. “I truly enjoy every moment of these events,” she says.
Alia adds, “There’s a beautiful kind of chaos, but it’s filled with incredible energy. What makes it even more special is meeting talented women from across the globe, learning about the work they’re doing, and sharing a little bit of yourself in return. It creates a sense of connection that makes the world feel smaller, and that feeling is really wonderful.” For her, these gatherings are not just glamorous outings, they are spaces to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate creativity in all its forms.
Alia’s approach to fashion is thoughtful, guided by collaborations with people who value storytelling and attention to detail. Whether working with Rhea Kapoor, Anaita Shroff Adajania, or Sabya Mukherjee, she gravitates toward projects that go beyond the surface. “We take pleasure in the little details, whether people get it or not is okay,” she adds.
Her most recent homage to the legendary Rekha highlights this philosophy perfectly. Trusting her team completely, she recreated the iconic look on the day of the screening, embracing both spontaneity and creativity. “I trust my team and people like Rhea blindly; we align on thought which is why we work together,” she says.
