Soft pastel shades, grace, and style define Katrina Kaif’s fashion choices. It was then no surprise that she donned a white Anamika Khanna creation at the recent trailer launch of her upcoming Thugs of Hindostan. Flanked by Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Fatima Sana Shaikh, Kaif clearly held her own but her look left us disappointed.
Styled by celebrity stylist Ami Patel, the off-white outfit, that looked somewhat like a fusion of half-sari and dhoti pant was too drab, to begin with, and did not leave a mark. The ruffle number had a cape as well as a belt. There was just too much going on in the complicated ensemble and it was enough to baffle us.
