In this episode of #OOTDBreakdown, let's decode her dazzling Diwali-ready glam look and let's see how you can recreate it without spending a fortune.
What Kareena Kapoor Khan wore at Manish Malhotra’s Diwali party
Recently, Kareena grabbed everyone's attention at Manish Malhotra’s Diwali bash in Mumbai. She was seen in a custom ivory chikankari Anarkali by the designer himself. Kareena channeled her inner desi girl and exuded the ethnic charm with a contemporary twist. The intricate embroidery of her kurta na dchuridaar and the flowing silhouette along with the ethereal vibe, made it the show stopping choice for this festive season. Manish Malhotra's designer masterpiece reportedly costs around ₹4,00,000, and the embellished potli that complemented Kareena's outfit, also by Manish Malhotra, is valued at approximately ₹50,000.
Kareena wore a pair of Christian Louboutin 'Just Queen Crystal-Embellished' Sandals, priced at $1,130, i.e., about ₹1,00,380. She completed her look with embellished earrings from the luxury jewellery brand Mohar by Priyanka and Nakul, known for their exquisite craftsmanship and luxurious designs. These earrings typically retail for over ₹1,00,000, depending on size, material, and gem weight.
