Kajol’s functional jumpsuit by Payal Khandwala was created from dupion and mulberry silk

Intentional styling took centre stage with the olive green jumpsuit Kajol showed off on Instagram. Handcrafted by Mumbai-based designer Payal Khadwala with dupion silk combined with a satin weave, the structured ensemble had a distinctive texture and subtle sheen.

In a defined gradient, the deep olive of the colour-blocked jumpsuit gave way to shades of burnt copper and cherry red towards the base. The cinched waistband and pleated detail along the front created a balanced silhouette, initially sculpted, but relaxed at its core.

The coppery asymmetric cuffs and classic shirt collar, left unbuttoned and pulled back, created a look that was both dramatic and refined in nature, showcasing the impact of fine tailoring on Indian textiles.

The actor accessorised with chunky gold earrings, an emerald ring on her pinky finger and a stack of mismatched wooden bangles that complemented the earthiness of the jumpsuit. Her hair was pulled back into a half ponytail, with a few face-framing strands adding a soft touch to the otherwise bold look. The makeup featured strong eyeliner, lifted lashes and dusty pink lips on a dewy base.
