Brand New Zodiac

You just gotta remind yourself that just like this deer, you are in the situation (social) where everyone is expecting this situation to occur (social situationing), and many other people may even be expressly looking forward to it (seeing you/the deer). Seeing the deer (you) may be the best part of the situation for them.

Exactly!!!!

and even if it wasn't the sole or only reason they are there, they came KNOWING there are 1,300-1,400 deer (you) free roaming in Nara Park (in social situations) and you're going to be a delightful part of the experience. (As long as you don't bite anyone for crackers. Or headbutt them.)

This is the map of Nara Park area, btw. The bus terminal is literally right on the entrance to the park. Also the city mascot is a sika deer named Shikamaro-kun. The little blue path from the terminal is where I bought deer crackers to feed the deer in the photo on the approach to Todaiji temple. (The deer enclosure I think is Rokuen which is where the sick or pregnant deer are cared for in safety.)

Anyways! The deer are expected and beloved and also protected as messengers of the gods within Nara.

(look at this guy!! Imagine he is the same deer as in the first photo, it's just months later with his antlers grown in more and he's napping in the sun in front of a sign that says deer! he was never out of place, he just needed a sunshine nap!)

Deer (you) isn't actually out place at all! deer is important and appreciated. Also if people make deer (you) feel like you don't belong in their (your) own house, you can tell them to leave.

Isha Ambani in custom Gaurav Gupta at the 2026 Met Gala

From the designer:

In response to the theme Fashion is Art, the look is conceived as a study of the dressed body, where art is not applied, but lived.

At its core, a jewellery-integrated blouse set with heirloom stones from Nita Ambani's private collection, bringing fine jewellery directly into couture. Over 1800 carats of diamonds, alongside emeralds, polki and kundan, are embedded into the garment, transforming it into a living surface of inheritance and form.

The blouse is paired with a handwoven gold tissue saree, one of the oldest living garments in the world.

Its border is hand painted by National Award-winning @swadesh_online artisans and embroidered at the atelier, drawing from the Ajanta frescoes, among the earliest recorded depictions of the saree in Indian art.

The drape carries forward a history that spans centuries, where the body and cloth exist in quiet continuity.

Completing the look, a sculptural resin-draped cape forms a halo around the body, created by folding the gold tissue saree into a preserved, fluid structure, where textile becomes sculpture.
