Karisma Kapoor's Eka dress is proof that bubblegum pink is a summer staple

In an interview with Vogue last year, Karisma Kapoor had underlined her reticence towards accessories: “You’ll rarely see me wearing earrings. I like sharp looks and sometimes jewellery just isn’t required.” True to her words, Kapoor kept her accessories to a bare minimum for a recent Easter outing with her family, letting her outfit do all the talking.

The Murder Mubarak actor stepped out in a breezy bubblegum pink midi dress by Eka, with subtle panels and motifs in lavender, pink, and yellow that seemed like an unwitting nod to traditional Easter-egg colours. Kapoor layered the dress with a relaxed-fit rose-pink blazer, also by Eka, which was left unbuttoned to beat the heat.

Classic white Golden Goose footwear paired with Nike socks added a cool street style edge to her look. Yet again, Kapoor kept the accessories simple: a choker with a cross pendant, along with fuss-free rectangular huggies earrings, and oversized black sunglasses.

Be it walking the runway in Satya Paul at Lakmē Fashion Week or idyllic vacations in far-off coasts, Kapoor is all about less-is-more. Here are some notable examples of how her choice of understated accessories makes for sophisticated dressing.

From Vogue's fashion desk:

“Take the handwoven midi dress and layer it under an oversized, boxy denim jacket. Add a pair of chunky leather sandals or even a toe-ring Kolhapuri to soften the streetwear lean. Stack oxidised silver rings, throw on a bookish canvas tote, and let the necklace be your only sparkle,” says Vogue India's Fashion Associate, Manglien Gangte.
