Kareena's Royal Diwali Turban Sparks Fashion Debate
10 Nov
Summary
- Kareena Kapoor Khan wore a champagne-beige kaftan with a structured turban.
- The turban featured a 200-year-old diamond-encrusted royal kalgi.
- She also wore an emerald necklace inscribed with Ayat-ul-Kursi.
Kareena Kapoor Khan recently captivated and divided internet opinion with her unique Diwali attire. She chose a fluid, champagne-beige kaftan by Punit Balana, styled by Rhea Kapoor, for her festivities. However, the ensemble's most talked-about element was the accompanying structured turban, which prominently displayed a historical, diamond-encrusted royal kalgi.
This ornate ornament, reportedly dating back two centuries, was once worn by the Nawab of Bhopal and has a history within Saif Ali Khan's family. Complementing the kalgi, Kapoor Khan also accessorized with a significant emerald necklace, also a royal heirloom from the Begum of Bhopal. This juxtaposition of easy-going resort wear with grand, historical royal jewels spurred considerable online discussion and debate among fashion enthusiasts and the general public.
Commentators like Sufi Motiwala weighed in, with some finding the combination jarring. Rumors circulated of Kapoor Khan's lighthearted response to the criticism. The debate highlights broader questions about celebrity fashion: the appropriate pairing of historical jewelry with contemporary outfits and the acceptance of unconventional styling for treasured heirlooms.
