A vintage John Galliano moment for Kareena Kapoor
Rhea Kapoor, celebrity stylist and Sonam Kapoor's sister, on September 12, shared pictures of Kareena Kapoor's latest promotional looks on Instagram. Per Rhea, who has styled Kareena on multiple occasions, this time, the actor slipped into a vintage John Gallionao look.
The vintage John Galliano look combines boardroom aesthetics with the atelier's master craftsmanship to create a crisp and stylish ensemble. It is a skirt suit in a soothing baby pink shade from the luxury label's Spring Summer 1999 collection. Rhea Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor are known for accessing archives to create stunning fashion moments, and this is one. Let's decode it:
The styling
The ensemble features a blazer with shawl lapels accentuated with an elegant bow, padded shoulders, full-length sleeves, front button closures, a tapered, slim-fit silhouette that highlights Kareena's curves, and a short hem length. Kareena paired it with a matching top that comes with a scoop neckline and a figure-hugging fit.
Kareena wore the blazer with a matching pencil skirt that has a knee-length hem and a figure-fitting silhouette. She rounded out the accessories with embellished pointed heels, a massive, boulder-sized diamond ring, and diamond earrings.
As for the glam, she chose a glossy pink lip shade, feathered brows, shimmery pink eyeshadow with smoky-eye highlights, mascara-coated lashes, winged eyeliner, rouged cheeks, soft contouring, and highlighter. Kareena styled her hair in a swept-back, side-parted style, letting it fall over her shoulders.
