In a break from traditional bridal attire, Karisma Kapoor has embraced a captivating cherry red lehenga from Awigna by Varsha & Rittu for a captivating cocktail look. This ensemble transcends classic styles, featuring a vibrant hue and exquisite craftsmanship that elevates the traditional red lehenga to new heights.
The lehenga is adorned with intricate cutdana, pearls, and mirror work, creating a rich and eye-catching design. Despite its elaborate detailing, the garment remains remarkably lightweight, thanks to its tulle and organza construction. A team of ten artisans dedicated over a month to meticulously create this exceptional piece.
Kapoor’s look is further enhanced by a complementing floor-length jacket, crafted from sheer tulle. The jacket features tonal embroidery and a shawl lapel, adding a contemporary touch to the traditional dupatta. The incorporation of various bead types creates a multidimensional effect, showcasing the designers’ meticulous handiwork.
Jackets and capes have become increasingly popular in Indian fashion, often associated with winter festivities. However, Kapoor’s choice of a lightweight, breathable tulle creation breaks this mold, setting a new direction for this trend. The versatility of the jacket allows for multiple styling options, such as pairing it with a sharara set for a destination wedding or with casual jeans and a tee for a sophisticated brunch.
Kapoor’s ensemble is complete with dazzling shoulder-duster diamond earrings and a solitaire ring from Limelight Diamonds. A vibrant red pout and soft, subtle eye makeup add the finishing touches, creating a harmonious and radiant look.
