The Poo-Fication
Kareena and Poo are two inseparable words. Even two decades later, the iconic character from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is still a fashion icon. Manish Malhotra brought his magic on the screen with some of the most memorable Kareena Kapoor looks ever. Low-waist pants with tube tops, giant yellow flower on a choker necklace, backless red co-ord for college party and of course, the forever favourite, asymmetrical bush pink lehenga that fits like a second skin and shines like a star. Even Sweta Ambani couldn’t resist recreating the iconic lehenga.
The Classics
K3G was just a start. In a long list of Kareena Kapoor movies, Bebo has again and again given us unforgettable fashion moments alongside her natural acting skills.
In her earlier years, she played a lot of characters who dressed up like they were going for a magazine shoot on a daily basis. Yet her natural beauty made all the runway-worthy looks effortless. But with movies like Chameli, Kareena has shown her true versatility. Truly stepping away from glamour, she embraced the raw and bold character with street-style authenticity. Another fan-favourite Kareena Kapoor character is Geet from Jab We Met. Kareena lived the free-spirited dreamer role in comfy yet fashionable Punjabi-girl looks, especially the red skirt-white top combo.
Tashan brought the size zero trend in Bollywood and Kareena Kapoor Khan was the flagbearer of the trend. The actress flaunted some of the cheekiest and fashionable looks ever with her barely there waist. Even without a full role, Bebo left her mark with cameos too. Take the iconic golden dress from Don.
It’s true that PC has started the thinnest possible pallu with saree trend with Desi Girl, but Kareena Kapoor took it forward. Her red saree in Chammak Challo, pink saree with black blouse in Halkat Jawani are proof that Kareena can pull off anything with her attitude and charisma.
