Chic in Bandhani: Kareena Kapoor’s Effortless Elegance in a Purple Shirt and Denim

Kareena Kapoor Khan is that one icon who can walk the tightrope between glam and casual like a seasoned pro. One minute she’s dazzling in couture at Lakmé Fashion Week, and the next she’s redefining everyday elegance in a relaxed fit shirt and jeans. Recently, the ‘Crew’ actress made heads turn (yet again!) as she stepped out in Mumbai for a book launch looking effortlessly stylish in a comfy-cool outfit that still screamed Bebo energy.

Just hours after serving a red carpet slay in Manish Malhotra at Vivienne Westwood’s show, Kareena chose to keep it low-key but not without her signature flair. For the literary evening, she wore a breezy purple Bandhani shirt paired with relaxed blue jeans. But leave it to Kareena to turn a simple look into something statement-making.

Her shirt, a handmade tie-and-dye piece from Yesha Sant, was steeped in cultural richness. Priced at ₹6,499, the shirt features the traditional Rabari Tribe artistry, marrying heritage with high fashion. The drop-shoulder pattern and billowy silhouette added that easygoing charm, making it the perfect pick for a cultural event without compromising on style.

Styling the shirt with light-washed, relaxed-fit jeans, Bebo kept it very now—letting the contrast between the soft denim and deep-hued Bandhani shine. The fit was effortless, trendy, and totally wearable.

Accessorizing was kept minimal yet striking. She chose opal black stone earrings framed in gold, a dazzling diamond ring, and a vintage-inspired rectangular dial watch with black leather straps—proving once again that it’s all in the details. Her look was finished with light-tanned pointed-toe stilettos that added just the right touch of glam, and her classic square sunglasses gave the outfit an instant boss-girl vibe.

The makeup? A vision of understated beauty. Kareena channeled the 'clean girl' aesthetic with a glowing base, softly blushed cheeks, and muted nude-pink lips. Her hair was left sleek and straight with a simple middle parting—keeping things fuss-free yet polished.

Kareena Kapoor’s style has always spoken volumes, and this look is a perfect example of how she balances comfort with charisma. From the runway to a book launch, her wardrobe knows no bounds—and neither does her charm.
