From wedding-ready lehengas to breezy kurtas, Karisma Kapoor’s ethnic wardrobe serves inspiration for every Indian silhouette

If you are an ardent follower of Karisma Kapoor’s style, you’d be well aware that the actor loves her ethnic ensembles. Whether she is attending a red carpet event or catching a flight, she doesn’t think twice before opting for an Indian numbe. Look close at her style files, and you’ll easily spot Kapoor’s affinity for designer kurtas and sharara sets featuring intricate embroidery. And her preference for colours and prints ensures that there’s always variety in her wardrobe. From stunning Manish Malhotra lehengas to printed Sabyasachi saris and breezy Anavila kurtas, the actor never fails at giving her fans a fresh look to add to their inspiration boards.

Blame it on the comfort this silhouette provides or its versatility, but much like the rest of us, Kapoor often looks towards a kurta for an easy sartorial solution, especially for festive occasions. Cases in point: the peach Anita Dongre set she wore for Janmashtami celebrations, the floral kurta and sharara set by Drzya by Ridhi she wore for Onam, and the yellow Manish Malhotra set she took to Ganesh Chaturthi festivities.

When it comes to weddings, Kapoor likes going all out with decadent lehengas. Manish Malhotra’s creations are a mainstay in her wardrobe—from pastel lehengas to a heavily embroidered black and pink number, the actor has tried everything once. Saris make a regular feature in her showcases too, whether she’s wearing the staple in the traditional manner (like the Good Earth Couture drape she wore for the recent Ambani wedding), picking a high shine number (like that metallic black sari), or using her sartorial prowess to give it an upgrade—she wore a bright Sanjay Garg sari with a long cream jacket, and also styled a printed blue Satya Paul drape with a brown jacket and a belt.
