Did Priyanka Chopra recreate Kareena Kapoor’s iconic red kurta moment from ‘K3G’ this Diwali?

Priyanka Chopra’s Diwali lookbook had pops of fierce red this year. From her red-carpet appearances to intimate family celebrations, she embraced the sacred colour like a diva, carrying it with a hint of modern refinement. The actress recently shared a series of pictures from her New York Diwali celebration featuring husband Nick Jonas and daughter Malti Marie.

From painting diyas together to celebrating Lakshmi Puja in the evening, Priyanka did it all in utmost style and we aren’t complaining. Her recent Diwali outfit even sparked comparisons to Kareena Kapoor Khan’s iconic Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham red kurta, featuring a sleek strap look with a fitted bodice and flared 90s-style palazzo pants.


Priyanka wore a scarlet, deep-red sleeveless kurta featuring delicate embroidery in the same shade, with a flattering fit. The thin straps and clean neckline screamed iconic, reminiscent of Kareena Kapoor Khan’s ‘Poo’ era. What made the look even better was how neatly she balanced it: pairing it with flowy, wide-legged bottoms and adding a sleek dupatta draped from the front, she looked absolutely stunning.

The colour palette and tone-on-tone embroidery perfectly echoed Kareena Kapoor’s K3G fit, in which the actress was seen in a strappy crop top paired with flared bottoms and a sleek dupatta. Whether it was a coincidence or fashion inspiration, Priyanka’s red kurta definitely gave us déjà vu this Diwali.

For hair and makeup, Priyanka kept things minimal while adding a glamorous touch with matte red lips, letting her locks fall in subtle, soft waves. On the accessory front, she wore golden earrings and stacked gold bangles on each hand.


Priyanka Chopra’s red kurta pick for the Diwali season exuded nostalgia, yet one thing is clear: Bollywood is seeing a Y2K comeback in the ethnic segment, with actresses revisiting 2000s-inspired styles like straight-fit, knee-length kurtas or flared skirts paired with traditional waistcoats.
