IBNLive Style Police: Kareena, before and after Saif

Jul 26, 2012 10:08am

The before-Saif Kareena was all of yellow bleached hair, bushy eyebrows, and a wardrobe as loud as her expressions. IBNLive's Jaya Sharma gives you proof on why the after-Saif Kareena is definitely a 'new & improved' avtar.

Sans makeup, doesn't Kareena look lovely here? Even though not a red carpet moment, we chose to give you a glimpse of Bebo's no-fuss manner on the sets of 'LOC' in 2002.

At the launch of a teen glossy that had Kareena with an army of male models on the cover, even though she was 23 years old. This sort of a casual look worked 10 years ago, today it would be a no-show!
Reuters
Wonder why stage shows (this was a concert supporting the World Youth Summit, India) till a few years ago meant artists had to wear circus costumes. Kareena's bronze tresses don't help either.
Reuters
If you're not much of a bead-work fan, look away. We're also investigating why Kareena always wore brown and bronze lipsticks that pulled down her face rather than yummy pinks and peaches. At the IIFA awards held in Amsterdam, 2005.

Army fatigue at a jewellery launch? Bebo, we think your stylist mixed up your events' dates. This was in 2006, i.e. the before-Saif phase.

Kareena and Saif started dating in 2007, and Bollywood witnessed the size 0 trend and how! In 2008, Kareena was spotted in a glittering gold corset with harem pants at the Rajiv Gandhi annual awards ceremony 2008, but thankfully for a performance.

At the Food Guide Awards in Mumbai (2008), Kareena looked petite, pretty in pink. Love the kohl in her eyes.
Reuters
We told you, it just gets better! Kareena arrives for Manish Malohotra's show at Lakme Fashion Week 2009 in a short blue-green pastel dress with silver accents around the neck. Fabulous!
Reuters
Love the ripped denims and YSL shoes on Kareena! Full marks for the makeup pulled back hair! At the Press Conference for 'Kambakkht Ishq' in 2009.
Reuters
Kareena wore this Robert Rodriguez printed blouse on two occasions! Once at the talk show hosted by Farah Khan, and the second time here, as she partied with Sylvester Stallone and Denise Richards celebrating the success of the film 'Kambakkth Ishq'.
Reuters
She got it right at this jewellery brand event. A lovely peach and white saree was the perfect choice for the do. Her gorgeous big hair-do was only a bonus.
Reuters
The purple wrap dress that Kareena wore for the music launch of 'Main and Mrs. Khanna' in 2009 would qualify for classy - with the conservative length - only we would chop off the neck collars!
Reuters
At the GQ Men of the Year 2009 awards Kareena was easily one of the best dressed in a Bluemarine, Fall 2009 gown. The eye make-up deserves a mention too!
Reuters
At the premiere of the film '3 Idiots', Kareena picked a red net saree, with a thick border and a contrasting blouse. By now it seems that Bollywood heroines have figured out how to wear the saree right and sexy!
Reuters
Oh that yellow dress has quite a story. Too short to expose a little too much. Listen to your granny when she asked you to sit properly! Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor smiles during a news conference for the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards in Colombo June 5, 2010.
Reuters
Kareena draped a gauzy Manish Malhotra saree with a muted traditional touch on the green carpet for the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards in 2010. Blending green and gold, stroked with deep mystical red borders, the ensemble was a starry eyed surprise.
Reuters
She won the Best Actress award at the IIFA awards ceremony in 2010 but she wouldn't even have been nominated for the best dressed award. What is that tacky gold cloth and a maroon lipstick. No thanks!
Reuters
At a news conference we saw Bebo wearing the 'Bodyguard'-style salwar kameez %u2013 splash of bright colours accessorised with colourful bangles. We like.
Reuters
Kareena killed it (in a good way) at the 'Ra One' UK Premiere in a blingy, sequinned, strapless Dolce and Gabbana gown. With her swept back, all the attention was where it belonged, on her lovely face!
Reuters
Had-to-add-to-list: Kareena aka ‘Chameli’ wore the kitchy red saree with a blue zari-like thick border. But what is still remembered is the floral blue blouse. Don’t miss the red trimmings on the sleeve and the matching-matching bangles. Congratulations Manish Malhotra.
Reuters
Had-to-add-to-list: Remember the gold number Kareena did for 'Don'. Not size 0 yet, but she sure dazzled the big picture!
Reuters
Had-to-add-to-list: We usually use the word chiselled for a guy, but Bebo in 'Tashan' looked chiselled and how!
Reuters
Had-to-add-to-list: Lookin' good Ms Kapoor in this neon bikini for 'Kambakkth Ishq'.
Reuters
Had-to-add-to-list: In 'Ra One' she sizzled to Akon's 'Chammak Challo' wearing a red semi-lavani.
