EXCLUSIVE! Kareena Kapoor Khan: I will walk the red carpet one day in a beautiful kaftan

Pregnant for the second time, Kareena Kapoor Khan is acing her mommy-to-be style already. The stunning actress has been spotted a couple of times post her announcement, flaunting her barely-there baby bump in comfortable flowy outfits.

In an interview with Bombay Times recently, Kareena had mentioned that she loved wearing kaftans, which incidentally is also the perfect ensemble for moms who want to be seen in cool, chic and comfortable clothes during their nine-months of pregnancy. In the last few months Kareena has posted multiple pictures of herself in chic comfortable kaftans on her instagram page.

“I love wearing my kaftans at home and I am sure I will walk the red carpet one day in a beautiful

kaftan

from one of our home-grown designers. There are so many beautiful ones made here in cotton, linen and silk. You can wear a kaftan, put on a great pair of heels and look amazing. At this point, we have all become so used to it that I think it’s a good idea to make kaftans and pyjamas trendy now,” said the Begum of Bollywood, Kareena who completed two decades in the industry this year.

Pria Kataria Puri

, who is synonymous with the stylish kaftans she creates, couldn’t agree more. “The kaftan is definitely the preferred choice for fashionable pregnant women and also for stylish women at any stage in her life. The A-line silhouettes whether it is a maxi, tunic or dress will flatter your shape and make you feel comfortable and not restrict your movements.

sleeves, kaftan style blouses, maxis and dresses work beautifully. The kaftan silhouette does not have an arm hole and doesn’t have a crotch, and these two things make you feel cool, happy, relaxed and put you in a great state of mind,” said Pria.

Till a decade or two ago, pregnancy fashion was not a prevalent practice and not many really ‘invested’ in pregnancy outfits. Now, outlooks have changed and it is all about celebrating pregnancy. It is not just being comfortable but looking good is of paramount importance too. Pria said, “Women invest in a pregnancy wardrobe and want to not just look beautiful but also feel beautiful.”

Saaksha Bhat

couldn’t agree more, “It’s easy to see why women are shifting towards wearing kaftans more than ever. They are comfortable, stylish and work well for any figure. For pregnant women it serves as a great way to hide that ever growing shape, and for non-pregnant women it’s a comfortable and chic attire. It’s a garment that is both forgiving and timeless, and can translate well from a beach day to a glamorous night."
