Kajol's Black Pre-draped Sari Came With A Corset Featuring 3,500 Swarovski Crystals

"Stylist Radhika Mehra approached us to conceptualise a look that could embody the duality seen in goddess Kali—of tenderness and might. Kajol's look was envisioned as a sartorial homage to this feminine force. Radiant in gold, adorned in jewels, her black skin glowing like the night sky—we wanted to capture this dichotomy of chaos and compassion," shared the designer Karan Torani.

The corset, made in tulle, mimicked the structure of a warrior's breastplate, but was softened with femininity in its curves and crystal-laden finish. "Over 3,500 hand-embellished Swarovski crystals of varying shapes and cuts were sewn. Every detail was carefully considered—the upper part of the corset was designed to feel like an ornate necklace resting on her torso, while the strong shoulders echoed protection and power. The look is maximalist, romantic, theatrical and even a little dark," added Torani.

Following the leitmotif, she went with the Mughal Bahaar Bangle Stack from Apala by Sumit that featured "an opulent arrangement of a rubellite ribbon bangle combined with leaf-shaped quartz polki, evoking the lush grandeur of a blooming Mughal spring," shared Sumit Sawhney behind the jewellery label. Statement Amama cuffs rounded off her accessory choices. Soft smoky eyes, nude pink lips and a handmade bindi by The Bindi Project made for her beauty look.
