Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla are having a bumper season, with every second celebrity choosing one of their opulent designs for their red carpet outings. The latest to jump on the bandwagon is Katrina Kaif, who chose an electric blue lehenga choli with gold embroidery on the skirt for the International Film Festival of India closing ceremony in Goa.
What we love most about the look? That choli that’s ticking three major boxes on our list. First, those statement sleeves are completely in sync with the biggest red carpet trend of this season. Secondly, that electric blue colour that lights up Indian skin tones across the spectrum, from fair to dusky. Finally, that sweeping off-shoulder neckline that allows Katrina to show off those gym-honed collarbones.
She keeps the look simple by choosing earrings instead of a statement necklace, an interesting choice that allows the lehenga to remain the centre of attention.
