Karisma Kapoor, amidst the ebb and flow of fashion, stands as a timeless icon. Stepping into the limelight at the India leg of Vogue’s Forces of Fashion Gala, Karisma Kapoor reaffirmed her status as a formidable fashion force. Her choice of archival pieces and commitment to eco-conscious fashion became a resounding declaration for sustainability.
Kapoor’s black power suit, for the occasion, a creation of Elie Saab, featured a shawl lapel-laden blazer and trousers embellished with delicate floral lace embroidery. She threw it back with an old shirt from & Other Stories, and punctuated it with embellished golden hoops dangling from her ears. Not to be missed, her limited edition box clutch by Jimmy Choo, circa 2011, a Louis Vuitton ring from 2015, and gold stilettos by Alexandre Birman (her favourites) completed the ensemble with timeless touches.

This commitment echoes a broader industry sentiment, exemplified by instances like Alia Bhatt’s impactful choice at the 69th National Film Awards. Bhatt, opting for a repurposed Sabyasachi wedding saree without the dupatta, contributed to a growing movement that values and repurposes special garments.
Yet, it wasn’t just Kapoor’s ensemble that commanded attention at the gala. Her mesmerising gaze was enhanced by smudged eyeshadow, a deliberate makeup choice by makeup artist Divya Arth Shetty, accentuating her eyes. The bold ruby lip served as the pièce de résistance, infusing a pop of colour into the monochrome moment.
