From weddings to cocktail events, Karisma Kapoor proves that saris will work for any occasion on your calendar
Karisma Kapoor’s flair for traditional Indian ensembles is well known. Whenever the occasion allows, the star never misses a change to experiment with a variety of Indian wear including lehengas and sharara sets, but the latest silhouette to win her favour has been the timeless sari. Whether she is attending a family wedding or an event in the city, saris in bold colours have won Kapoor’s vote many times. From high-shine Manish Malhotra drapes to romantic Chanderi and silk drapes by Raw Mango to classic ivory numbers by Good Earth, the actor has made a case for all. Here, we decode her five go-to styles that highlight her collection of saris.
No matter what the season is, summer's favourite motif—florals are here to stay and Karisma Kapoor is a fan. For an event in Mumbai, the actor was spotted wearing a breezy yellow Sabyasachi drape that featured pink and blue floral blooms. The full-sleeved blouse added an extra edge to her Indian look, whereas the sleek beige belt highlighted her cinched waistline.
A simple scroll through Karisma Kapoor’s sari collection will tell you how much the actor adores silk saris. Over the years, we’ve spotted the star in countless versions of the Indian staple at various events. For instance, at the wedding ceremony of Armaan Jain and Anissa Malhotra, she opted for a silk zari sari by Raw Mango in a soothing shade of pink. She upgraded her regal look with a gold choker, a delicate rani haar, gold jhumkas, and stacked kadas.
Leave it to Karisma Kapoor to elevate any outfit and classic drapes are no different. Her styling tip? Just throw on a blazer and a belt to make it look business. For an event, the actor upgraded her printed blue Satya Paul sari with a brown blazer that added a cool spin to her look.
If you’re someone who is not afraid of quirky prints, Karisma Kapoor’s Satya Paul drape will surely catch your eye. For the launch of the label’s spring/summer 2019 collection in Mumbai, she opted for a red and white sari that paid homage to India’s favourite spice: chillis.
If you’re a Karisma Kapoor fan, you’ll be aware that Manish Malhotra is one of her very close friends and favourite designers. Hence it comes as no surprise that the actor has experimented with all kinds of silhouettes from the courtier. Among them, the sari that recently made headlines was her sequinned black drape. The star took the look to the next level by wearing it with a backless, halter-style blouse. Letting her clothing take centre stage, she skipped on jewellery, save for a solitaire ring and a Bottega Veneta clutch.
