Popularly referred to as the ‘Indian Jenners’, Jahnvi and Khushi Kapoor serve as a reminder that not only is the Barbiecore trend far from getting over, but also of the fun ways of incorporating a traditional twist to it.
What is Barbiecore?
Barbiecore, a phenomenon that captures the enormous spirit of the iconic doll, takes its cues from Barbie’s one-of-a-kind style and her classic and timeless appeal. The aesthetic manages to bring out the best in all our pink wardrobe staples, as we see people adorning this trend in all sorts of pink pieces with playful and colourful touches.
The Kapoor sisters too have jumped onto this bandwagon, except this time they bring their culture to it.
Both Jahnvi and Khushi Kapoor were on the guest list for Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding bash, and boy did they nail the fashion moodboards for all three days! From exuding elegance for the cocktail party to deep diving into comfort in their own fashionable way, the duo have been at the top of their fashion game for the ceremonies.
The “Dhadak” of the Kapoor Khandan
Nobody channels old-world charm the way Jahnvi Kapoor does. With her big, doe-shaped eyes and knack for reinventing traditional chic every single time, it is safe to say that the actor is the sole witness to the beauty of simplicity. Adorned in a pink Manish Malhotra ensemble that appeared to resemble a South Indian half-saree, Kapoor was at it again to explore her cultural roots the Barbie way! The saree, with its set pink blouse embellished with golden zari, was a fusion of salmon and rose pink.
The magnum opus for the entire look, however, besides Jahnvi’s charm, of course, was the green jewelled ‘kamarband’ with a synonymous necklace and small earrings to balance it all out.
Jahnvi Kapoor has explored pink and zari with Manish Malhotra in the past, as well as a pink woven tissue saree where antique allure meets contemporary charm.
While the actor has always embodied the beauty of minimalistic glam, her undeniable love for the colour has no-doubt always managed to catch our eye!
The Younger of the Kapoors
Khushi Kapoor’s desi wardrobe is nothing short of enviable, with designers like Manish Malhotra and Falguni and Shane Peacock on her favourites list. The 20-year old actor has emerged as a fashion icon for Gen-Z, serving looks that are a mix of clean and chic, and has yet again managed to steal hearts by nailing the “Dazzling Desi Romance” mood board to the tea.
Staying true to her Bollywood testament, Khushi Kapoor has always adhered to the “more is more” logic and has made us fall in love with it as well. This time with a spin on Barbie and her signature colour, the actor was seen gracing an embellished floral lehenga with a fusion of rose and pastel pink shades.
The Manish Malhotra piece featured an off-shoulder blouse with a mermaid skirt that accentuated her body beautifully, thereby further standing as testimony to the actor’s fashion choices! A simple chiffon dupatta to balance the lehenga with a matching bag, Kapoor was all dolled up in a soft blush pink look with soft waves and a half tie hairdo, looking as Barbiecore as ever!
Barbiecore has restructured people’s views on pink, making it more than just a “feminine” colour; it’s now a sign of acceptance of all gender identities. Get inspired by the Kapoor sisters’ impeccable taste as we approach wedding season. You must include their pink styles in your mood board, to guarantee that you are one of the most beautiful Barbies this season!
