Sindoor, But Make It Fashion: Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Bold Yet Minimal Look Sparks a Beauty Trend

Aadar Jain and Alekha Advani are now married. The couple, who had an intimate Christian wedding in Goa earlier this year, recently married in a grand Hindu ceremony in Mumbai. Many B-town celebs marked their presence, however, what caught our attention was Kareena Kapoor Khan wearing a stunning Ritu Kumar red saree with a fresh swipe of sindoor—a rare but powerful beauty moment.

She really turned heads at the wedding, and netizens can’t keep calm. Looks like sindoor, a traditional symbol of marriage, is making a comeback as a beauty statement, and Kareena just proved that a simple streak of red can be both timeless and trendy.

• Deep Red Sindoor with Sleek Bun: A thick, unapologetic swipe of sindoor pairs beautifully with a sharply parted sleek bun, creating a striking contrast. Take a cue from Deepika Padukone’s regal wedding looks—elegant and powerful.

• Smoky Eyes and Dewy Skin: Balance the bold sindoor with kohl-rimmed eyes and glowing, luminous skin. Go for warm bronzed tones, soft blush, and a glossy nude lip to keep the focus on your sindoor without looking overwhelming.

• Statement Jewellery: If you are wearing ethnic outfits, go for oversized jhumkas or a statement nose ring to complete the look. For contemporary outfits, a structured blazer with bold sindoor creates an edgy fusion.

• Barely-There Sindoor with Messy Waves: A delicate touch of sindoor—thin and lightly applied—pairs beautifully with loose, wavy hair. This look works well with both ethnic and Western outfits, making it perfect for everyday wear.

• No-Makeup Makeup: Soft, flushed cheeks, feathered brows, and a tinted lip balm make sindoor feel fresh and effortless rather than heavy. Keep it natural with sheer foundation and a hint of mascara.

• Modern Outfits: Pair minimal sindoor with contemporary silhouettes like linen sarees, co-ord sets, or even a crisp white shirt and oxidised jewellery for an unexpected yet stunning contrast.
