Kareena Kapoor’s ever-growing collection of saris has often been a source of inspiration, offering enough style cues to encourage us to go all out. And if you plan to do so, nothing makes a stronger case than sequins. Few things scream glamour quite like these shiny discs, which effortlessly bring in the A-game without ever tipping into the territory of a gaudy disco ball. At the Birmingham 2025 event, Kareena Kapoor Khan proved just that when she stepped out in a custom-made Manish Malhotra sequin sari featuring a striking halter-neck blouse.
The look, styled by celebrity stylist Lakshmi Lehr, was a seamless blend of traditional charm and contemporary edge. The sari’s sequined detailing added a dramatic sparkle, while the halter-neck blouse gave the silhouette a structured modern touch. Together, the pairing created an outfit that was equal parts statement-making and wearable—a hallmark of Kareena’s personal style.

Beauty-wise, the star kept things understated yet impactful. Opting for soft waves, her hair framed her face in a way that felt effortless and chic. Her signature kohl-rimmed eyes added intensity, balanced with a nude lip that let the ensemble shine without competing for attention. For jewellery, she picked a pair of elegant diamond earrings and completed the look with golden stilettos that subtly echoed the shimmer of her sari.

For those who love the retro-glam aesthetic, a silver sequin sari remains a timeless investment piece. Embellished with just the right amount of sparkle, it evokes the disco-era allure while remaining relevant today. Sequins, after all, are cyclical—they may drift in and out of fashion, but they always return as a go-to for moments when one wants to feel undeniably glamorous.
And Kareena is hardly the only one championing the trend. Over the years, several actors have turned to sequins to make a sartorial statement on red carpets, festive occasions, or even intimate celebrations. From retro Bollywood icons to contemporary trendsetters, the sequin sari has held its place as a surefire way to stand out. One thing is certain: slipping into sequins guarantees that you’ll feel like the star of the show—no matter the decade.
