Kareena Kapoor Khan brings sexy back with pearl details on her designer sari

This season, pearl details are taking the fashion world by storm and many Indian designers are leading the charge in embracing this elegant trend. Among the many fashion icons flaunting these exquisite details, Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan recently captivated audiences at an event in Dubai as she wore a stunning lace sari by the Bollywood’s favourite designer Manish Malhotra.

Kareena looked every inch the regal diva in a blush pink-hued tulle sari that beautifully blended traditional grace with contemporary flair. The sari’s delicate fabric was adorned with pearl-embedded scallop borders and intricate leaf patterns, while pearl-adorned tassels added a touch of whimsical elegance to the transparent drape.

Complementing the sari was a meticulously crafted matching blouse hand-crafted in pearls. The front of the blouse was embellished with pearls, creating a striking contrast with the transparent back, which was adorned with intricate Kashmiri Chinar leaf patterns, showcasing a perfect blend of opulence and artistry.

To complete her enchanting look, Kareena accessorised her outfit with a statement neckpiece and matching earrings, enhancing her royal aura. Her makeup was kept soft and subtle, highlighting her natural beauty, while a sophisticated high bun added the final touch of elegance.

Kareena Kapoor Khan’s appearance in this ethereal ensemble not only stole the spotlight but also underscored the timeless allure of pearl embellishments, reaffirming their place as a staple in modern ethnic fashion. And, sharing her gorgeous look, Manish shared her pictures on his page and wrote, “#theoneandonly STUNNING @kareenakapoorkhan in our PinkBlush TulleSaree with a crafted #mokhte (pearl blouse) with crafted leaf pattern of kashmir .. #summer #2024 collection.” (SIC)

Taking inspiration from Bollywood celebrities like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aditi Rao Hydari, you too can incorporate the elegant pearl details into Indian outfits and elevate your traditional attire with a touch of timeless elegance. Here are some ideas on how to do it.

Pearl-embellished: Choose saris with pearl-embedded borders for a sophisticated look. This works beautifully with silk, chiffon, and georgette saris. Saris with pearl tassels at the pallu also add a whimsical yet elegant touch. Opt for blouses with pearl detailing on the neckline, sleeves, or back. A fully pearl-embellished blouse can be a statement piece.

Pearl embroidery: Lehengas with pearl embroidery on the skirt or dupatta add a regal touch. Pair it with a simpler blouse to keep the focus on the pearl details. Choose lehengas with pearl borders on the dupatta or the hem of the skirt for a subtle yet striking effect. Accentuate your waist with a pearl-studded belt for an added touch of glamour.

Pearl neckline: Anarkalis or suits with pearl detailing around the neckline look elegant and sophisticated. You can also replace regular buttons with pearl buttons for a refined look. A dupatta with pearl borders or scattered pearl work can enhance a simple suit.

Accessories: Pearl jewellery, such as necklaces, earrings, maang tikka, and bangles, can complement your outfit and add a touch of classic elegance. Use pearl hairpins or hairbands to add a touch of sophistication to your hairstyle. Opt for juttis or sandals with pearl embellishments to complete your look.
