Kareena Kapoor Khan is pretty in an all-pink outfit

The word monochrome often evokes an all-white or a black outfit that veer on bland or playing it too safe. But that’s not the way Kareena Kapoor Khan does it. Her all-pink outfit is both sophisticated and playful—scroll through to get the details of what she wore.

Is all-pink ever a bad idea as far as an outfit goes? We don’t think so, but the fear is that the colour can come off as too saccharine or childish. The way out is to employ sharp tailoring that reign the colour in, as Kapoor Khan does with the belted trousers she wears here. The structured pant helps lends this look instant sophistication. Her dark pink blouse is made of the kind of textile that gives it an almost metallic sheen, which helps balance out the pale pink of the trousers. The gathered high neck of the blouse adds a little texture to to the look, and is both modest and business-appropriate, while also being fun. Tone-on-tone dressing brings depth to the outfit, and allows the all-pink look to be interesting and fresh as opposed to monotonous. The star’s white strappy sandals provide great contrast, and the open-toed shoe also saves this outfit from looking too severe and injects a little playfulness. The next time you’re planning an outfit for an occasion where where you want to be taken seriously, take cues from Kapoor Khan and don’t shy away from wearing pink.
