Karisma Kapoor's White Pleated Jacket Set Is What You Need For Your Next Function

Karisma Kapoor recently made a stunning appearance at the premiere of the musical Rajadhiraaj: Love Life Leela. For the event, Karisma wore an all-white zip-up ensemble from designer Rajesh Pratap Singh’s Welcome to the Jungle collection. Her overall appearance showcases how traditional attire can be modernised with thoughtful design and styling.

Karisma’s outfit consists of a Saraiya pleated jacket made from linen crepe, paired with Jajota bottoms in cotton. The jacket’s clean lines and subtle detailing offered a sleek, contemporary take on traditional Indian wear. What made this ensemble truly stand out was the modern twist brought by the front zipper, which ran vertically along the right-hand side of the jacket. Two vertical red lines running down the center back added a pop of colour. Meanwhile, the bottom part of the jacket featured a pleated skirt with a voluminous flare.

To complement her outfit, Karisma chose silver statement drop earrings and silver rings from Amrapali Jewels. She paired the ensemble with traditional shimmer jootis, completing the perfect Indo-Western look. For her makeup, Karisma opted for a bold look with smoky eyes, mascara-coated lashes, defined brows, contoured cheeks and wine-coloured lipstick. She completed the look with her hair styled in a sleek low bun with a middle partition.

For those looking to recreate this chic look, start by choosing a base colour and play with different shades and textures within that palette. Remember accessories are key! Choose pieces that enhance the outfit without detracting from its simplicity. And, of course, don’t forget a bold lip colour or statement jewellery as the finishing touch.

Rajesh Pratap Singh’s Welcome to the Jungle collection debuted at Lakme Fashion Week 2018. The collection is inspired by the works of William Morris’s (the English textile designer) intricate patterns and love for nature. Rajesh Pratap Singh used Tencel fibers to create special fabrics adorned with floral and animal motifs that beautifully highlight the beauty of nature in every piece. Karisma Kapoor’s look is a simplified version of those designs.

Speaking of Rajadhiraaj: Love Life Leela, it is a grand musical that portrays the divine journey of Shri Krishna, covering his adventures from Vraj to Mewar, and from Mathura to Dwarka. It is written by Padma Shri Prasoon Joshi and directed by Indian film personality Shruti Sharma.
