A vision in ivory

For the occasion, Kareena Kapoor donned an ethereal ivory lehenga saree, a signature Manish Malhotra creation that seamlessly blended tradition with contemporary elegance.

The ensemble featured: A heavily embellished blouse adorned with glittering sequins, delicate embroidery, a plunging neckline, and a cropped, structured bodice. A statement lehenga with a pleated tulle overlay, intricate floral embroidery, sequin embellishments, crystal adornments, and a floor-length hemline. A tulle dupatta with floral appliqué, lace embroidery, and shimmering sequins, styled like a saree pallu and draped over one shoulder, creating the illusion of a cape jacket.
