Bollywood Bride: Kareena Kapoor in 3 Idiots

Monday, February 14, 2011 | |
I never expected to find my favourite Bollywood Bride of the past year while watching Aamir Khan's comedy, 3 Idiots, but I'm glad I did.  Kareena Kapoor is my current Bollywood favourite (liable to change at a moment's notice, so please, don't hold me to that thought) and her look in this movie, albeit in only one scene, is quite pretty. 


Orange is a difficult colour to choose, and even harder to pull off.  The soft, brown-pink tones of the dress, combined with a pinky red dupatta, works well against Kareena's skin.  Then again, what doesn't work well against her skin?  Also, notice how her jewellery isn't matchy-matchy with her anarkali?  And neither is her gold-brown makeup?  My daughter and I have progressed beyond me teaching her about outfits that match together, and we are now working on learning which outfits go together.  This outfits is a perfect example of what I'm trying to explain to her.  She's only four, so it'll take a while.







I like Aamir Khan, so as a general rule, I'm willing to excuse him for whatever amount of ego it takes to convince oneself that at 45, one is still capable of playing a 19 year-old. Especially if he continues to create scenes like this:

HIGH-larious.

Also, if someone knows the designer of the anarkali Kareena's wearing, do post in the comments section.

Hi there,
Just wondering who is this bridal by? Is it manish malhotra, it is so beautiful and moghul-esque

@anon...i can't remember for certain, but the designer of Kareena's costumes was mentioned in the opening credits, and to the best of my memory it was Ritu Kumar. Correct me if I'm wrong people.

Hi everyone,
I know this thread has long since quietened down but I love this dress! I have my wedding coming up and this look is one of my top options. Only thing is I cant figure out what is she wearing under the long top- is it a lehenga skirt or is it actually a salwar.

Do let me know if you have any thoughts
Many thanks
Shelly
