Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor attended the IIFA Digital Awards 2025 last night and stole the spotlight with her breathtaking look.

Celebrity stylist Rhea Kapoor styled Kareena in this special saree, which was inspired by Tarun Tahiliani’s ‘Modern India’ collection from 2008. This new version of the saree was designed to suit the modern woman of the 21st century, making Kareena look like a true apsara (goddess-like figure). The popular fashion page Diet Sabya called it "The Apsarafication of Bebo."

Details of Kareena’s Corset Saree

The saree was pre-draped, meaning it did not need to be adjusted like a traditional saree. It was made from satin-silk fabric and had golden borders decorated with zardozi embroidery and shimmering sequins. The pleated pallu (the end part of the saree) was draped over her shoulder and flowed down to the floor, adding a royal touch.

To make the outfit even more special, Rhea Kapoor added a matching silk overlay (a long, sheer fabric) that Kareena draped over her arms. It had golden embroidery on the borders, an open front, and a long train at the back, giving her a majestic look.

Kareena’s corset blouse was another highlight of the outfit. It had:

• Intricate zardozi embroidery, making it look elegant.

• A split square neckline and broad straps on the shoulders.

• A sheer back with ribbon ties, which cinched the blouse perfectly.

• An asymmetrical hem, adds a stylish edge to the look.

Kareena’s Accessories and Makeup

To complete her glamorous look, Kareena wore gold jewelry with emerald gemstones. Her accessories included:

• A choker necklace

• Elegant earrings

• Rings

• A statement kadha (bracelet)

She styled her hair in a sleek bun, making her face and jewelry stand out. Her makeup was simple yet stunning, featuring:

• Nude pink lipstick

• Blush on her cheeks

• A red bindi, gives a traditional touch

• Winged eyeliner and rose gold eye shadow for a bold look

• Mascara on her lashes, making her eyes pop

• Feathered brows and a glowing highlighter, enhance her beauty

Kareena’s modern yet traditional look at the IIFA Digital Awards 2025 was one of her best fashion moments. Fans and fashion critics loved her stylish yet elegant saree, proving once again why she is a true Bollywood diva.
