New Delhi: Diwali saw some of the most stunning fashion looks from Bollywood stars, but this time Kareena Kapoor Khan stole the show with her style. While lehengas, saris, and heavy ethnic suits are usually the norm during festivals, this year Kareena opted for a unique kaftan look. Her look was distinctive for its design and reflected a 200-year-old royal heritage. The silver-embroidered kaftan, matching turban, and priceless jewelry gave her a signature Begum look.
Highlight of the look was a silver-worked kaftan
Kareena Kapoor wore a champagne-beige floor-length kaftan designed by renowned designer Punit Balana. The outfit features intricate work in real silver. The kaftan’s neckline and sleeves feature silver embellishments in geometric patterns, while the entire outfit features small, sparkling details. Its most striking feature is its flowy silhouette. The loose fit and long, flowing design make it both comfortable and regal.
200-year-old plume on the turban attracted attention
The most striking part of Kareena’s look was her matching beige turban. It was adorned with a nearly 200-year-old Kalgi, belonging to the Nawab family of Bhopal. This is no ordinary fashion accessory, but a part of her husband Saif Ali Khan’s family heirloom. Saif Ali Khan also wore this Kalgi during his wedding. It is said to have been associated with the last ruler of Bhopal, Nawab Hamidullah Khan. This three-pronged diamond Kalgi also has pearl detailing. Kareena made her festive look special by pairing this historical piece with her turban.
30-carat emerald adds to the royal radiance
Kareena’s look wasn’t just marked by the turban, but her jewelry was also quite special. She wore an emerald pendant necklace with an antique gold choker. The 30-carat emerald in this necklace is said to belong to the Begum of Bhopal. The precious emerald is engraved with the Ayat-al-Kursi. This jewelry is also connected to Saif Ali Khan’s family. His grandmother, Sajida Sultan, was the daughter of the last ruling Nawab of Bhopal. In this way, Kareena’s look included not only a designer outfit but also a family heirloom passed down through generations.
Keeps makeup and hairstyle simple
Kareena went easy on her makeup for her royal outfit. She applied soft smoky eye makeup and mascara. A bronzed base, light blush, and a nude glossy lip gave her look a natural finish. She kept her hair open.
