Kareena Kapoor Khan Won Hearts In Rajesh Pratap Singh's Black Knotted Dress With Pink Sleeves

Kareena Kapoor Khan whose film The Buckingham Murders opened the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2023 on Friday night, saw the stylish diva walk the red carpet in a black knotted dress designed by renowned fashion designer Rajesh Pratap Singh. The film was screened at the Grand Theatre at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Convention Centre in Mumbai.

Known for her love for kaftans, the top half of the silhouette gave the illusion of a kaftan. Rajesh’s signature knotted pattern added drama to the otherwise subtle look. Kareena added a pop of pink to her look to break from the monochromatic palette. The rani pink sleeves, a new shade of pop in Rajesh Pratap Singh’s colour wheel, have been a favourite hue in most of his recent designs.

Kareena was styled by celebrity stylist Lakshmi Mehr who has been the strong force behind her iconic looks. Celebrity makeup artist Mickey Contractor definitely waved his magic brush at Kareena making her look dewy and fresh. Complementing the minimal makeup was the clean and slick hairstyle done by celebrity hair expert Mike Desir. Celebrating Kareena’s style was photographer Sheldon Santos, who captured the diva in three beautiful frames, which Kareena posted on her Instagram.
