Kareena Kapoor Khan knows how to make even sporty fashion look powerful. At the launch of the PUMA x Outhouse Speedcat charms, she stepped out in an outfit that perfectly blended comfort with high fashion, proving once again why she remains a style icon.
The foundation of her look was a zip-neck knit from PUMA. The cropped length added structure while keeping the outfit fresh and youthful. It gave her silhouette a sharp edge without feeling too formal, striking the right balance between relaxed and refined.
Layered over the knit was a black leather jacket from Celine, originally designed during Phoebe Philo’s time at the label. Styled by Lakshmi Lehr, the jacket featured brass hardware and buckle details that added a subtle boldness. Worn open, it created depth in the outfit, the soft ribbed cotton of the knit contrasting beautifully with the smooth leather. The mix of textures felt intentional and stylish rather than overdone.
For the bottom half, Kareena chose high-waisted barrel trousers from Qua. The trousers were roomy around the thighs and tapered neatly at the ankles, creating a rounded shape that balanced the cropped top. The combination of fitted and fluid pieces made the outfit feel current and well thought out.
Her beauty choices elevated the entire look. Hairstylist Mitesh Rajani styled her hair into a sleek, tight bun, giving the outfit a sharper finish. Makeup artist Pompy Hans added winged eyeliner and a bold red lip — a timeless combination that brought glamour to the sporty ensemble.
According to Vogue India’s fashion desk, while leather jackets remain a classic choice, warmer months call for lighter layers. Fashion associate Divya Balakrishnan suggests swapping leather for cotton or denim slouchy jackets during summer. Pairing them with a simple tee and a ruffled skirt can create a similar stylish impact while staying season-appropriate.
Kareena’s latest appearance shows that athleisure doesn’t have to look casual. With smart layering and bold beauty details, even sporty pieces can feel polished and runway-ready.
