Karisma Kapoor masters contemporary glam in all-black, proving style is in her DNA

’90s Bollywood icon Karisma Kapoor has always mastered the art of effortless style. Her fashion mantra? Never try too hard. As one of the original "It girls" of Bollywood, her signature looks have always struck a fine balance between functionality and impact. And just when we thought we had seen every version of Kapoor’s chic aesthetic, she reemerged in a fresh contemporary avatar that proves style truly runs in her DNA.

The actress recently took to social media to share a series of striking snapshots that sent fans into a frenzy. Channeling modern glam with a nostalgic twist, Karisma donned a monochrome three-piece ensemble that redefined cocktail dressing. The all-black co-ord set, curated from the racks of designer Ritika Mirchandani, featured a sequin-embellished V-neck crop top with a bold geometric pattern - exuding just the right amount of glitz.


Taking the look a notch higher, she layered it with a matching blazer drenched in sequins, complete with tweed detailing, a structured double-breasted cut, and power shoulders. But it was her bold styling move, pairing the set with dhoti-style pants that truly set the outfit apart. The result? A statement-worthy fusion of boardroom sharpness and traditional flair, making it a perfect pick for a modern sangeet or high-glam cocktail event.

Accessorising with her signature minimalism, Karisma opted for a pair of studded drop earrings and a dainty necklace, finishing the look with a few statement rings. Her sleek hairstyle - left open with a precise side part, complemented the clean lines of her ensemble.


For makeup, the star went all out with a full-glam approach. A flawlessly contoured base highlighted her cheekbones and nose, while bronzer and blush added depth to her face. She played up her eyes with a smoky aesthetic and defined brows, balancing it all with a brown-toned lipstick that added a grounded richness to her look.


If you’re ready to ditch the predictable lehenga or salwar suit for your next wedding soirée, Karisma Kapoor’s contemporary twist on ethnic fusion wear might just be the style inspiration you need. Sophisticated, powerful, and oh-so-glamorous, this is cocktail fashion done right.
