In Lanvin
Update: Instead of wrapping the longer layer around the neck like the model, Kareena wore this blue Lanvin as is. Thanks ‘anoo’ and ‘fashionista‘ for the spotting!
Which version do you like the dress better? The model’s or Kareena’s?

Kareena wore a long blue kaftan style dress with a flower detail at an event for Anne French. Now, I am a big fan of this style because it is roomy, comfy and can be very elegant if you pick a monochromatic look.
But, in Kareena’s case I don’t like the neckline or the uneven length of this dress and that flower was completely unnecessary. Now, the same blue color in the Jil Sander design or even the Missoni one(see below) and I would have loved loved loved Kareena.
What do you think of Kareena’s dress? A blue belle, is she?

I agree with ur points….but i think the blue looks gud on her i like the make up too!
i like kareena’s dress.. she’s wearing it well..
dont think the models are carrying it that well.. looks like a nighty to me!
LOVE the color against her skin.. I feel like I’m seeing Kareena in something I really really like after long…
like it all but the uneven length..dont like the models dresses at all.
i dont digg it .. but BEBO looks splendid .. her skin is flawless .. after aishwarya .. only kareena has the flawless skin ..
even the dress is long .. bebo look out u may slip down .. :p
she also look like shes gained few pounds .. her face and arms looks healthy … :)
i loveee the jil sander dress!!! so elegant and graceful! i wish kareena chose that one instead!
i usually loveee posts on kareena but i dont like like her make up here. she looks like she’s ready to fall asleep.
I love Kareena’s hair and makeup, but she should save the gown/dress for when she gets pregnant.
I think her dress is Roberto Cavalli. Charilize Theron wore a similar gown @ The Opening of Atlantis in Dubai. & if it is Roberto Cavalli, it’s not the first time we’ve seen her in it.
BTW. She does look great. The color looks great against her skin. Wished she’d have paired it with different shoes. The slip ons are not working. Maybe her silver YSL should of worked.
Kareena looks great! She wears the dress well, and I like on her better than the models.
ariel001,
That was my first thought too, that she is in Cavalli and she probably is because Cavalli has used this blue in the Spring 2009 collection. This might be an off-runway piece.
Charlize’s dress was way different. The waistline specially…
the top portion is good but the bottom of the dress is just not right. i don’t care if it’s a roberto cavalli but the missoni and Jill sander dress is much better. I love the color on kareena..she looks quite resplendent! one must admire her genes to have such a great complecxion!!
P&P,
Yes indeed. The waistline is different. Just thought I’d remind you because of the neckline.
Are you going to post Priyanka Chopra @ India Today Conclave 2009?
Kareena looks gorgeous. I agree that the neckline does not allow the dress to fall right, but the color looks great on her, and the hair and make-up are just right.
im not likin it either..like the colour though and her makeup too..bt i dont .. neither the models looks good.
I think she looks gorgeous. I like the dress but something about the material is off…Great color ! Love the flawless light makeup.
wow looking beautiful, but hemline is off
agree with ‘ronan’. she looks like shes gained weight(thank god). she looks so much better with the extra few lbs
This is great! I don’t like uneven lengths on dresses pretty much at all but Kareena looks so beautiful here that I will give it a pass. And I like the flower detail, too!
it’s a refreshing change from what we usually see her in, and have to give her props for changing things up. the dress is not bad. it definitely could’ve been worse. and after seeing the dresses on the models, i don’t think kareena could’ve done better. it’s just fine as it is. not brilliant, but nice enough for a change.
Agreed completley
she’s too curvy for this shillouette…the color looks fab though
I actually prefer Kareena’s dress (despite the uneven hemline and weird flower) to the Missoni and the Jill Sander. Since kaftans are so shapeless and long, bare shoulders even them out. I’m not digging her clear shoes, but her makeup is gorgeous, which is rare for Kareena.
I think she looks terrific!! Very elegant and graceful. I also love her hairstyle: it totally suits her.
she looks really gorgeous i really like this blue
i am not exactly a fan of Kareena but i think she looks absolutely fab here. for a change, shez looking radiant, with normal make up, no diva attitude, and a certain freshness that’s not photoshopped! way 2 go bebo! this is how she looks best. she seems 2 b a few pounds heavier now but it makes her look better. as for the dress and shoes, i dont mind them…so all in all, i like!
i’d give her two thumbs up just cause waist up she looks STUNNING
the colour, her makeup, her smile…all totally WOW
No…. Way…..
Kareena looks GORGEOUS! I love the color against her skin. I don’t like the style of the dress — it seriously looks like the designer didn’t care what he/she was making.
kareena is getting prettier every day. i didn’t like her much a few years ago but she is maturing into a very good looking lady now.
I really like it on Kareena. Her face looks fresh. Pretty.
wow I am STUNNED. She looks terrific.
Hate the dress but i think she looks really pretty in it. She should give the raccoon eyes a miss more often!
She looks really lovely, but I’m not liking the hem of the dress… the front is too long and what’s with the sides being higher?
That said, hats off to Kareena for trying out something new… Priyanka should take a cue from her and change it up a bit, especially the hair…
Ok, now to the meat of the matter, I’m dying to find a lovely peachy-nude lipstick like the kind Kareena is wearing here… Any recommendations, ladies?
My God, her face is so stunning!!
As for the dress, yeah, the neckline could’ve been different and that flower is 100% unneccessary, but damn that color is fab. I really like the Missoni… hope to see someone in it soon
She is looking so pretty. The colour is suiting her.
But the dress itself is like a nighty
i like the colour. but i am really not feeling this dress. it is too shapeless…
I like the missoni version the best, Dont like the version which Kareena is wearing at all.
She is looking beautiful…the dress is better on her than the models…
i lovvvv the makeup and hair…atleast she aint making faces this time…very neat!
lets all hold a prayer here and pray together, Thank you Jesus for nantural beige nails that replaced the hideious red one, Thank you Jesus for few pounds she gain which brought back this healthy glow back to her face, Thank you jesus for simple hair and makeup and nothing over the top Amin
The pink jil sander is gorgeous.. what a beautiful color..
is she wearing lanvin??
The dresses look like colorful garbage bags with cut out sleeves.
The blue is great against Kareena’s flawless skin. Didn’t Cate Blanchett wear the turquoise caftan quite some time ago? I don’t think this pulled back hair suits Bebo too much, it makes her face look oddly hexagonal.
She looks so divine. The dress is so much better on her than the Lanvin model.
I think she puts racoon eye eyeliner to camouflage her eyebags.
I love the flower detailing on the dress!
I don’t know, I don’t really like maxi dresses on ANYONE, so this is a nay all around for me.
this dress,not nice!
she does look good though!
Hey p&p……I saw the dress on la jolie et jeunette blog….but I thought kareena was wearing an imitation…it dint look exactly like lanvin’s….
frankly this looks like something i would wear to lounge around in the house lanvin or not…. and kareena defi does not have the height to carry this off.
i cannot tolerate women wearing something like this.i mean we are supposed to wear clothes that fit us…anyways am not very fond of clothes like these which resembles a nightie..
I actually thought this was one of her better looks…the blue is lovely against her skin, and keeping the hair simple and tied back was a great decision (flowing Bollywood manes would have ruined the look). And she looks happy and comfortable, which is always a good thing- dresses don’t have to be pinched in at the waist or everywhere to look good.
