Mark our words, the monsoon is going to be one hell of a fashionable time.
Nothing moody or dull about the season, and all one needs is a subtle hint of colour to storm through the wet days.
As grey clouds hover in the sky, Lekha Prajapati offers a forerunner to what works best in the rains via her futuristic take on prints and stripes and her rasta-style reflecting a bunch of upbeat, blow-the-dark-badal-away trends. Stuff that matches perfectly well with a classy umbrella.
The actor, who calls the Pink City of Jaipur her home, appeared in Class of '83, The Big Bull and iSmart Shankar.
For those of you daydreaming about dashing off to Athens and dancing to ABBA songs on isles in the sun, Lekha reminds you of the need to pack an off-shoulder in pastel stripes for a look that is every Greek man's dream come true.

Ati sundar blue sari with geometric prints.
Magnificent smile.
Total doe-eyed beauty.
No matter. No matter.
It's a super op for a few winning lifties.
Lekha is the season's diamond in sequins.
Even Udaipur's splendid Lake Palace behind her can't hijack the limelight.
Even good ol' Mavis has nothing on our gal's punk rock fashion that she dons for a trip to Poros, Greece. Opa!
