My Style Analysis: Devi, Kamala, and the Disastrous Dinner

Some spoilers ahead

Can anyone notice a similarity in their costumes? (Blame it on my many readings of Tom & Lorenzo's Mad Style, The Crown Style, Mrs America Style, etc.)

Both are wearing light cardigans over tank tops and patterned, floaty skirts. With rather domestic concerns (Devi is concerned about making sure her mother doesn't miss her chance with a romantic prospect despite her own conflict with that prospect's daughter while Kamala is concerned that their granny's new beau could be taking advantage of her wealth). Devi is caught between taking her cousin's usual role of serenity and her own conflict with Margot (note Margot's dress looks similar to Devi's skirt): she is all patterns and rich colors except for the tank top under her cardigan which ties her to Kamala.

Kamala is armored in neutral and pastel tones, managing to look more modest than even her grandmother and aunt, likely signaling she put her own romance and ambitions on the back burner for the sake of her grandmother (and her own failure to launch). The roses of her skirt may nod to her being surrounded by romantic and sexual tension around her, along with a clinging to what she is familiar with (the maternal and comforting roses of her family). This is contrasted with the busy prints of Devi's skirt and the argyle on her cardigan, who manages to show a bit more skin than her cousin while dealing with a prospective suitor whose appearance throws a wrench into her plans to help mend fences for her mother's happiness.

There is also a fair amount of cleavage showing with cardigans that aren't closed, likely signaling these two are young women who are exploring their sexuality and coming into their own while their widowed mother/aunt and grandmother step out of their traditional roles to find love after 40; this is pointed as Devi's suitor Ben confessed to friend Trent about his dream of Devi as both an intellectual equal (if not superior) and her physical appeal while Kamala is somewhat "off the market" due to her beau Manish being across the country. One can be cheeky and paraphrase my Mother as saying they both have Mommy bosoms (comforting place for a child to rest their head), hoping to pad any fall their maternal figures may end up having.

The Seasons look represented: Nalini in the Autumn of her life in dark tones that make her look commanding and comforting and practical in slacks, Kamala in the Summer of her life and in danger of fading into her clothing/comfort zone if she doesn't step up for her life, and Devi in the blooming Spring learning to slow down before launching herself and take a step back. This all in contrast to the pale tones worn by Nirmala who doesn't fade into them and reconciles the whites of her past mourning (white being a color of mourning in Indian culture) and the whites of her beau's culture (a bridal look), she is in the Winter of her life and is embracing it as a new stage in her life and a second youth.

As an aside....

I, as a child of the 90s and 00s, would not be remiss to miss that I love Richa and Maitreyi have real bodies that bloat and have curves. Since I was young, many peers freaked if our thigh gaps weren't wide enough or if we had something to pinch on our bodies or didn't have washboard abs, add super weight conscious and ignorant elders poking at us and media images of very thin and scary toned people and it's no wonder I was 30 when I learned it's often rare to be both busty and very thin, and that if you had a small waist with round hips, it's impossible to have a six-pack. Or that stomach padding is used to pad the reproductive organs and cis women carry more weight in our hips, thighs, and buttocks. Also a cruddy healthcare and education system.
