Kareena Kapoor Khan is hands down the only Bollywood actress to fall back on for major style lessons. Not the one to chase the trends, she always manages to make headlines with her sartorial picks be it for movies or casual off-duty look. It’s no surprise that our darling Bebo continues to top every fashion-loving woman’s style mood board. From serving unapologetic sass in her way-ahead-of-their-time looks as Pooh in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham to defining the breezy, relatable charm of Geet with her girl-next-door aesthetics, Kareena has given us fashion moments that transcend generations.

And for her recent appearance, the diva turns to the archives for her latest fashion moment, stepping out in a beige skirt-and-blazer ensemble from Valentino’s Spring/Summer 1993 collection. Designed by Valentino Garavani himself, the vintage set worn by Kareena Kapoor Khan is a subtle nod to fashion history, brought to life with her signature modern elegance.
A Return to Archival Power Dressing
Delicately embroidered elephants appear on the lower front panels of the blazer, mirrored on either side and used more as bold visual motifs than decorative flourishes. Set against gold-plated statement buttons and subtle beaded accents, the detailing felt deeply archival. It recalls an era when couture was about nuance and discovery rather than instant impact.
What truly sharpened the look, however, was its sense of control. The pencil skirt traced the body with measured precision, while nude heels lengthened the frame without drawing attention to themselves. There were no overt styling tricks at play but just clean proportions, impeccable tailoring, and self-assured ease. It read as a masterclass in ’90s couture minimalism, where power was expressed through silhouette, not spectacle.
Styled by Rhea Kapoor, every supporting element is carefully edited. The accessories tied the look together with quiet intention. Gucci sunglasses and a structured bag lent a modern edge, anchoring the vintage Valentino set firmly in the present. Jewellery did the subtle storytelling; Amrapali’s elephant-motif chain and hoops echoed the embroidery, while delicate diamond accents from Milo Jewels India added a soft glow without overpowering the look.
With hair slicked back into a neat bun, the blazer’s construction of Kareena Kapoor Khan takes center stage. Makeup remains understated—soft neutral eyes, sharp liner, and a nude lip—while jewellery is intentionally minimal, limited to gold hoops, a fine chain necklac,e and a watch. In 2025, the strength of this look lies in how effortlessly it holds its own, needing little to feel current.
Aza's Take on the Trend:
At Aza, we see a growing shift towards intentional dressing—where investment pieces, refined tailoring, and timeless details take precedence over fast trends. Kareena Kapoor Khan's archival Valentino moment reinforces the idea that fashion with longevity always wins, and modern wardrobes are increasingly about curating classics that feel personal, powerful, and enduring.
