If there’s a major style lesson, we learned from Karisma Kapoor, it is how not to too hard to look good. The queen of effortless fashion knows that the key to sartorial success is to gravitate towards styles that are functional yet statement-making. Think Indian classics like the saree paired with a blazer.
When redefining Indian traditional wear, she is also very strategic with accessories. Instead of picking jewellery pieces that easily outglam her outfit, she prefers minimalist masterpieces that command attention but without dominating her look.
The Saree Goes Corporate
At a recent round table event celebrating women's leadership hosted by business tycoon Nita Ambani at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center, Karisma’s Anavila saree in the shade of butter yellow took centre stage. The 51 year old actor has always championed timeless elegance in modern, fresh and unapologetic ways.
Her sheer organza saree finished with intricate gold embroidery on the borders worked overtime in echoing the tone of the formal setting and, of course, her love for Indian traditional wear. While the soft, lightweight fabric added movement to her look, the conventional draping style kept her style grounded. But the hero of the look was the thigh-length silk jacket featuring floral embroidery.
The Jacket That Changed the Game
It was the strategic layering of a blazer over the saree that created a polished, formal look, besides drawing eyes and attention to her. Keeping her jewellery minimal so the focus remains on her outfit, Karisma leaned towards a pair of statement golden studs.
We could not but fall head over heels with her style and hence brought you our favourite blazer sarees and studs that radiate similar Karisma-coded aesthetics. Excited? Let’s scroll below to check out our hottest collection from the designer shelves:
