Elevated Ease: Pair a column maxi with a sleek tank and heeled sandals—monochrome tones amplify sophistication. Urban Edge: Contrast a flowing skirt with a structured blazer and pointed-toe flats for polished contrast.
Vacation Ready: A high-slit style paired with a tucked-in linen shirt and leather slides strikes the perfect balance of relaxed and refined. Soft Material Skirts
Evening Glam: A silk slip skirt demands a fitted bodysuit and delicate jewelry—keep heels minimal for modern allure. Daylight Drama: Style a pleated chiffon skirt with a tucked-in ribbed tee and barely-there sandals for understated impact.
Weekend Escape: A tiered cotton skirt feels fresh with a cropped knit and woven tote—effortless and intentional.
Skirts are the quiet power players of summer dressing—versatile, expressive, and inherently graceful. The key lies in balancing proportion, texture, and attitude. Whether you gravitate toward the precision of a pencil skirt or the romance of a flowing midi, let each piece reflect your personal narrative. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram

Kajol shares her thoughts on the significance of Parents' Day
Bollywood actress Kajol, who is an avid social media user, has shared her thoughts on the significance of Parents' Day, expressing that the title feels too small to truly honour the role parents play in our lives. Taking to her Instagram handle, the 'Dilwale' actress shared that she believes that parenthood deserves a larger and more meaningful acknowledgment beyond just a single day of celebration. Kajol posted a smiling photo of herself alongside her mother, Tanuja, and her mother-in-law, Veena Devgan. She also dropped images of her father Shomu Mukherjee and father-in-law Veeru Devgan. For the caption, the 'Do Patti' actress wrote, 'Parents Day feels too small a name for what they've done for me. But here's a post anyway. And a big thank you to you 4 #happyparentsday.' Celebrities have marked National Parents' Day by paying heartfelt tributes to their parents. Sanjay Dutt's sister, Priya Dutt, took to social media to honour the legacy of their parents, legendary actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis. In an emotional tribute, Priya reflected on the most meaningful gift her parents gave her—a life guided by love and purpose. She took to Instagram to share a monochrome photo and video of Sunil Dutt and Nargis, accompanied by a heartfelt message. 'Children are a reflection of their parents. I watched my parents stand for what mattered. They showed me what it means to serve with sincerity, to lead with heart, and to give without needing recognition. They were my strength, my soft place to land, and the reason I believe in the goodness of people. Their actions and their values became my path to follow. This Parents' Day, I celebrate the greatest gift they gave me, a life rooted in purpose and love. Today as a parent i have their blueprint to follow to pass on this legacy to my children. To all Parents out there #HappyParentsDay,' she wrote as the caption. Observed annually on the fourth Sunday of July, National Parents' Day recognizes the vital role parents play in nurturing future generations and shaping the fabric of society. For the unversed, the day was formally introduced in 1994 when US President Bill Clinton signed a congressional resolution to highlight the importance of parental care and guidance. Meanwhile, the two ladies from Bollywood who never shy away from speaking their mind — Kajol and Twinkle Khanna have joined forces for an exciting chat show, 'Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle'. Before Kajol and Twinkle's show premieres, let us turn back the clock and look at an old conversation between the two ladies when the 'DDLJ' actress opened up about age anxiety. When Twinkle asked Kajol if being an actor, she ever worries about ageing, she revealed that, as a matter of fact, she does worry about it. Kajol shared that, according to her, ageing has to do with energy more than the lines on your face. 'I think people look at how you are saying what you're saying. I feel more than the lines on the face, age shows in people's eyes, when they get tired, when they get bored of what they are doing — that's when people start noticing the lines and the wrinkles,' the 'Maa' actress added. 'So, I worry about it, yes, I am concerned about it- who isn't, and I do my daily routine religiously,' Kajol added. Shedding light on her daily routine, she shared, 'I am extremely careful about drinking my eight glasses of water. I have to have my 8 to 10 hours of sleep at least. I wash my face every night religiously, put my cream on, and I am like — 'now I am ready to go to bed'. And I take very-very good care of myself, I workout, I do all of it.' Coming back to 'Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle', the show was announced on Tuesday. Indo-Asian News Service

Inside the private world of Migems, the exclusive beauty sanctuary coming to Dubai
This October, Dubai will become home to something the world has never seen. Migems, the first members-only beauty sanctuary, is launching its coveted portfolio in Dubai, reserved for just 200 carefully selected individuals worldwide. A place where beauty meets privacy, and where access is only granted and never given, Migems is not open to the public. There are no walk-ins or applications to access this space. The only way to gain access is by being invited to one of its private events. And for those selected, what awaits is something the beauty world has never seen before. The Skin Vault Was Just the Beginning At its first discreet gathering, The Skin Vault Launch, a handpicked group of women were introduced to the world of Migems. Held with a Black & White Parisienne dress code, the evening revealed glimpses of a sanctuary built not just on skincare, but on privacy and quiet prestige. If you weren't there, a second moment is coming. The 35 – Sunset Flow On the private terrace of the Delano Hotel (Bluewaters Island), only 35 women will be selected for the next Migems experience. And for the first time ever, five of those guests will be chosen through Emirates Woman.

Migems offers more than treatments. It is a portal into a sanctuary built for those who seek privacy, perfection, and a deeper kind of luxury.

A jailbird's guide to using unlicensed music
So you're the content manager for a mall in Dubai and you want to use Bob Marley's Jammin' as the music for your social media soundtrack? Go ahead. That'll get you into trouble quicker than admitting you shot the sheriff. And in the mall itself. That lovely, slow and familiar love song in the zone around the high-ticket jewelry stores or the quick-tempo current chart -topper in the supermarket? You're making every customer within earshot an accessory to a crime. Even in Dubai, that's too high a price to pay for some retail therapy. And when you get caught? The first thing you'll be told when you protest is 'ignorance of the law is no excuse'. Ignorance, in this case, may be that you trusted Instagram, Canva or CapCut, because they showed it as an option. The second thing you'll be told when you argue that '…surely it's okay, everyone else does it' will be 'oh we'll get to everyone else, don't you worry'. We speak about license infringement in malls, but they're just the tip of the iceberg. Last year, 14 NBA franchises were sued for copyright infringement because of the music they neglected to pay for in their promotional videos. That's half of the entire NBA playing dodgeball, not basketball! We can debate the merits of copyright law all day, but the fact remains that published music cannot be used for any commercial promotion without cost. If you have a personal profile on a social media platform, that's okay. Alright, now we've all had a light slap on the wrist, what's the answer? First, remove the ignorance factor. It's not going to cost you anything to explore your options in terms of catalogued music that's available. Spek, Founder & CEO at PopArabia commented, 'If you are a corporate entity or business page on social media you require music licenses to use commercial music from the library available. Social media pages are not exempt from music licensing requirements. Companies in MENA should be aware.' Secondly, put a call into a sonic branding company. They'll sit down with you to discuss solutions that are scalable up or down, with either licensed or original music. Thirdly, don't go looking to AI for the creation of music, particularly if you think your budget is too low for human creativity. It may produce something you think is great, but it won't be original and therefore will never bond with whatever currently represents the brand. Lastly, start thinking about music as an immersive brand experience, not just a prop to help make a quick sale. Because despite its name, sonic branding is not really about sound at all. Sound is a tool to help you achieve better brand engagement. The term brand refers not to a product (or service), but the relationship a human being has with that product. A relationship whose interaction puts an individual human being into a state of grace, borne of trust and satisfaction. Sonic branding, therefore, is about how you feel about a product, service or event. When you brief a sonic branding company and you ask for specific, culturally relevant musical instruments, for example, you should expect more than just nods of acquiescence from the company. In response, you should expect a deep dive into why these specific instruments resonate, and how they contribute to mood. Or at the very least, they should respond with enlightenment from previous experiences about why those instruments are right. Or wrong. That doesn't just put sonic branding on a par with visual branding, it puts it ahead on levels we're only just beginning to comprehend. Please think carefully about the beautiful or dynamic music you use to attract customers. Is it legal? Is it moral? And does it ignore the opportunity to take your brand engagement to a new level?
