When it comes to wedding wardrobes, Kareena knows how to keep tradition stylishly modern. For a mehendi event celebrating her cousin Aadar Jain’s nuptials in February, the star opted for a Sabyasachi kaftan, from the designer’s 2023 collection. Rendered in plush velvet with his signature wallpaper florals, the dress stood out for its zardozi-embroidered neckline and knee-high slit.

The multicoloured spiral motifs in black, red, orange, and blue brought vibrancy to the asymmetric hemline and oversized silhouette. Add in a cut-out neckline and raised collar, and this floor-grazing number became the ultimate statement in jet-set glamour, perfect for a sun-soaked vacation or a chic poolside soirée.
