Kareena Kapoor doesn’t simply enter a room; she takes charge of it. Kareena has long been associated with sophisticated appearances, known for her easy fusion of luxury and self-assurance. She wore a Sabyasachi saree for her most recent appearance, and it was rather striking.
Kareena Kapoor dazzled at a recent event in Delhi wearing a stunning saree with an animal print and a matching jacket from Sabyasachi’s Resort 2015 collection. The style was unabashedly daring, maximalist but restrained, retro but contemporary. It was bold, conversation-starting, and unavoidable—everything you would expect from two of India’s most iconic fashion brands.
Interpreting the Animal Print Style of Kareena Kapoor
Kareena did something that few could do. The bold combination of pattern, texture, and attitude in the ensemble was further enhanced with a striking neckpiece by Sabyasachi Fine Jewellery. The striking saree and the dramatic jewelry vied for attention, generating conflicting reactions on the internet. Kareena, however, was wearing to express herself rather than to win approval.
Her decision to combine two statement pieces seemed to be a conscious rejection of the tried-and-true red carpet method. It was a master class in how to wear drama without being overpowered by it, thanks to the sleek, pointed shoes, minimal makeup, and her self-assured ease.
Notes on Style: How to Wear a Printed Saree
A printed saree may effortlessly transition from stylish to tumultuous, particularly one as striking as Kareena’s. Balance is the key:
Minimize (or purposefully) your accessories: Choose a single, striking piece, like Kareena’s bold neckpiece, or forego the bulky earrings if your saree has a busy print. Instead of vying for attention, let it tell a tale.
The Key to Neutral Makeup: To make the print stand out, choose subdued hues like dewy skin, light brown lids, and nude lips.
Use Structure to Your Advantage: To break up the monotony of a conventional drape, add a blazer, belt, or contemporary blouse. It gives the appearance a modern sense right away.
Heels for Length: Strappy or pointed-toe heels assist lengthen your shape because printed sarees can make you appear shorter.
Bold prints require bold energy, so choose confidence over conformity. Never let the saree wear you; take charge of your appearance.
