Aditi Rao Hydari Revives Anand Kabra’s 2013 Red Kurta as a Modern Statement

Architectural tailoring, minimal beauty direction with precise accessories make the archival look feel current.

Overview

  • Aditi Rao Hydari stepped out in Delhi in a red angrakha-inspired kurta from Anand Kabra’s 2013 collection paired with ivory palazzo pants.
  • The kurta is cut with a high neckline and a diagonal asymmetric panel framed in dense gold embroidery, then opens into a soft anarkali-like flare with side slits.
  • The palazzo hems feature a wide chevron border in soft gold and rose gold with red piping that ties back to the kurta.
  • Stylist Manisha Melwani led the presentation, with restrained hair and makeup by Charlotte Wang and a small black bindi for a clean finish.
  • Ornate gold jhumkas with pearl detailing from Indriya Jewels completed the look, which Vogue India and News18 highlighted as a case for archival fashion’s contemporary relevance.
