Kareena Kapoor Khan brings vintage glam in Banarasi saree with modern makeover

NEW DELHI: In a dazzling celebration of her 25-year journey in cinema, Kareena Kapoor Khan officially launched a film festival named in her honour on Wednesday.

The event, hosted by a leading multiplex chain, showcased Kareena’s remarkable contributions to the film industry over the years. Dressed in a breathtaking Banarasi silk saree, Kareena captured the essence of elegance and grace.

The pre-owned vintage outfit has been brought back to life through meticulous pleating and innovative restoration techniques, allowing the original textile to shine without any alterations, as described by Amit Aggarwal, who designed the custom piece for Bebo.

According to the designer, this contemporary drape of the saree keeps the essence of the traditional fabric while incorporating modern design elements.

Inspired by Amit Aggarwal’s latest couture line, ANTEVORTA, the ensemble explores the multifaceted concept of ‘Time’ through various lenses—philosophical, mythological, religious, scientific, and cosmological. Completing her off-shoulder saree gown, Kareena accessorized with a striking pendant featuring three statement stones and elegant gold earrings.

A small bindi added a traditional touch, while her sleek bun and radiant makeup–highlighting rosy cheeks and a peachy nude lipstick–brought the entire look together with grace. Sharing her look on social media, Kareena expressed her excitement for the special evening.
