Kareena Kapoor Khan continues to surprise fans with her head-turning outfits. The actress, who is in Jaipur for IIFA 2025, stood out in a stunning deep wine ensemble by designer Tarun Tahiliani.

Her saree-gown featured intricate embroidery, seamlessly blending traditional Indian aesthetic with modern draping technique. The corset blouse was adorned with antique gold embroidery, while the beautifully draped fabric, complete with a border, flowed gracefully with a train.

For jewellery, the actress wore a statement gold choker necklace adorned with an emerald gemstone, complemented by matching earrings and a bracelet. Her hair was styled in a sleek bun, while her makeup featured defined brows, kohl-lined eyes, a hint of blush, and nude lips—perfectly balancing her striking look.

The designer’s Instagram handle described the outfit in detail, stating, “Kareena Kapoor Khan wears our deep wine and antique gold ensemble—a modern revival of our 2008 archival masterpiece. Reimagined for today’s woman, it maintains the timeless essence that defines our design ethos. The ensemble features intricate Bidri-inspired embroidery, adorned with exquisite dabka and nakshi detailing, paying homage to heritage craftsmanship.”

“This piece beautifully combines a classic sculpted saree corset with the fluid drape of a textile cape, striking the perfect harmony between structure and softness. It embodies India Modern, where the past is not merely remembered but vividly brought to life with contemporary relevance.”

Before this appearance, Kareena also made waves in the much-talked-about John Galliano gazette-print dress, which featured real and fictional headlines—reportedly synonymous with the designer’s storytelling approach. She paired the ensemble with knee-high black leather boots and a classic black Hermès Birkin. Her hair was styled naturally and left loose, while her makeup was glossy and flushed.
