Style File: A Look Into Kareena Kapoor’s Eastern Evening Wardrobe In 9 Pictures

Known for being humble and elementary with her Eastern formals, Kareena Kapoor has emerged as one of the top style icons little girls look up to in Bollywood, and from what we observe, we see how her desi panaches are wearable, affordable, accessible, and easy to replicate.

There is no rocket science in Kareena’s traditional closet – you’d see embroidered sarees, typically ethnic kurta suits, and ghagra cholis of sorts, all within the dimensions of trendy yet contemporary. The actress commonly opts for smaller blouses to go with her ghangras and sarees, longer sleeves or none at all, and round or high necks.

Additionally, we’ve noticed that Kareena’s color choices are characteristically the same; you’d see lots of whites, blacks, and golds for solids, and blends of baby pinks, beiges, and powder blues. Furthermore, her desi wardrobe owns less of color and cut, and more of needlework and glitter. Therefore, if her style is anything, it would be simple, young, fun, and flirty.

We’re taking a quick look into the nine outfits that make up the B-town actress’s traditional evening wardrobe, and to sum it up, we’d define her flair for cultural clothing plain and pretty. For those looking for wedding wear inspiration, one of these ensembles is promised to do the trick for you. The reason – none of these formals are complicated, or too heavy on the pockets.

Harem pants are one of the principal trends of the year, and Kareena Kapoor shows us how to sport them. The actress was spotted in a pair of black raw silk high-wasit harems, teamed with a floor length black kurta, profusely embroidered in gold. Kareena matched her outfit with open-toe four inch high heels, and no jewelry at all.

Fashion tip – Opt for neat up-dos and peachy makeup with your black formals, and accessorize with a box clutch and small gold earrings. Add the high-wasit twist to your harem pants, and cut the kameez out a few more inches up the open-front.

With solids being a timeless trend, Kareena Kapoor suggests you sport yours with a heavy beaded necklace, so as to add flavor to the look. The star was seen in a grey loose fitted shirt, teamed with white cotton elephant pants – a fashion one could easily copy off her closet.

What we love – The grey velvet clutch bag, and the fact that Kareena matched her nail enamel with her outfit, a trend we forever recommend.

Fashion tip – Strappy sandals with thick heels would go with just about anything. Moreover, add beads to your solids this spell. You could get your lawn outfits stitiched this way.

Sarees with embellished stripes? Yes, because Kareena can do it, and so can you. The actress showcased her panache for gold stripes over white with horizontal sequins, and a diminutive overstated sleeveless blouse. There’s no jewelry, and there’s no bag in her hands; guess the outfit does enough to speak for itself.

Fashion tip – How about you ditch the idea of heavy embroideries this wedding season, and go for embellished stripes instead?  

This adds to our list of The Ultimate Wedding Wear goals. Kareena Kapoor was seen in a sheer net saree, with a thick silver embroidered border. The style icon teamed it up with a short sleeveless blouse, black and silver studded earrings, and a shipshape blow-dry.

What we love – The way Kareena Kapoor puts the outfit together; neat hair – check, bare makeup – check, powerful color combinations – check, diamonds – check. 

Fashion suggestion – Never go heavy with your makeup with dark colored Eastern wear.

If the Kapoor sisters could master one thing, it would be the right kind of hair and make-up. The starlet was seen in a nude long dress, comprehensively embroidered in whites, beiges, and light browns, with contrasting borders on the dupatta. She flattered her traditional dress with a black and gold clutch bag, big jhumkas, and peachy cheeks.

What we love – The sewn belt around the dress, and the detailing on the neckline and sleeves.

Fashion suggestion – Belts are back, and so are thick gota laces. Make use of these on your dupattas, just like Kareena does in the image. Plus, every girl needs a similar black and gold clutch, as it’ll go with just about every evening outfit.

For those looking into animal patterned evening fashions, here is how you do it. Kareena Kapoor opted for an animal printed backless blouse, together with a colorful saree. Notice the spontaneity she sports – there’s bright orange, royal blue, white and black, in addition to straps, embroidered borders, and patterns, WITHOUT embroideries and laces.

What we love – The animal printed strappy blouse, and the color combinations.

The actress showcases quintessential cultural chic in this powder blue ensemble – something that could be sported to standardized desi weddings, or on your own mehndi, for that matter. The star was seen in a single-legged sharara with gold needlework, a full-sleeved kameez with white cross-stitching, and a complimentary dupatta. We love the earrings, but we do not agree with the loose ponytail.

Fashion suggestion – With such an outfit, opt for a soft curls, or a tidy blow-dry.

Kareena Kapoor was spotted in a silky white dyed saree with motifs, teamed with an embossed blouse. Her blouse is short, her hair is down, her chin is up – and that’s the confidence we admire.

What we love – The embroidered motifs on the saree.

Fashion suggestion – Opt for darker shades of lipsticks with white and pastel outfits, specifically for evening affairs.

Baby pinks blended into whites, the Bollywood actress displays PYT love in a traditional saree entailing candy pink and silver embroideries, and laced borders. Kareena chose an unadorned blouse to go with the look, pink blush-on, nude glossy lips, and a diamond set.

What we love – The immaculate hair, the diamond earrings, and the pretty laces.
