Having announced their lineup just a week ago, Lollapalooza India’s decision to finally sway towards the Halsey tide had me stalking her Instagram exhaustively. Am I her biggest fan? Yeah, if being able to mouth the lyrics to 4 of her songs counts ( Closer included). But what I’m adept at (or so I’d like to believe), is evaluating the personal style of these celebrities and giving my two cents on it.

We are indoctrinated to adore the hero and loathe the villain from an early age. But see, it was easy back then, the hero was intrinsically good, did the right things, was on the correct side of morality. The villain, easily recognised by their obviously evil deeds, was the one to ostracise, and cheer as they went down. But as movies and audiences evolved, storylines changed. So now while the hero has a backstory, the villain has one too. The characters are now firmly in the grey category, and we find ourselves tormented – sure the hero does the “good” things but we can find sympathy for the villain who comes from a troubled background, his actions justified because of the cards they’ve been dealt.
