The Begum of Pataudi is back to what she’s best at – raising the mercury levels and kicking up a stylish storm. During this game-changing phase in the fashion industry, Kareena Kapoor Khan has been surprising us with some sartorial looks lately. She left for Malaysia in a brooding, monochrome avatar last night and the lady seems to be in the mood for some more black as she and her fashion stylist Mohit Rai came up with this look for the store opening of Juiceco in Malaysia.

Looking absolutely resplendent, Kareena is wearing a dusty gold and black off shoulder gown with a deep neckline and a bow over the bust from Poem. This figure-hugging number with a fishtail hemline and long slit sleeves perfectly accentuates Bebo’s curves, thanks to the tremendous post-maternity weight loss. Celebrity hairstylist Purshottam Hans opted for side-swept neatly done hair with soft waves and a side parting for the actress, while the makeup artist Ritesh Naik gave her a dewy makeup look with dark and defined eyes along with nude lips and highlighted cheeks. Kareena accessorised her look with delicate earrings from Gehna Jewellers. (Also read: It’s a double dose of hotness with sisters Malaika Arora and Amrita Arora, as they pose for Hello!)

Verdict: Let’s just say it! When it comes to style and panache, no one stands a chance against Bebo. For a subtle yet sensuous look, she snags a score of 4/5 on our style meter.
