Khushi Kapoor marks the opening of Bvlgari's first standalone East India boutique at Quest mall kolkata in a custom teal Gauri & Nainika gown, styled with classic bvlgari jewellery
The Look
Khushi wore a custom draped bodycon gown in teal-emerald by Gauri & Nainika, its satin finish catching light with a deep, liquid quality. The close fit shaped an hourglass silhouette that released into a long, straight skirt. An off-shoulder neckline sat at the chestbone, with fabric gathered in soft folds down the bodice, while a ruched detail at the waist sharpened the shape further.
Her styling stayed sleek to let the gown and jewellery lead: hair pulled into a high, polished bun, and makeup kept neutral with soft eyes, gently blended blush and a nude-pink gloss. The overall vibe leaned into Roman glamour without overstatement, fitting for the launch of Bvlgari's newest boutique.
The Brand Spotlight
Bvlgari was founded in Rome in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari, who built the house's early reputation on fine Italian craftsmanship and silverwork prized by English travellers on the Grand Tour. As his sons Giorgio and Costantino joined the business, the Maison moved into high jewellery, and by the 1940s it had developed a distinct Italian style built on sunny yellow gold and sinuous coiled forms.
Over the decades that followed, Bvlgari became known for bold colour combinations, cabochon-cut gemstones and geometric motifs inspired by Rome's architecture. Its Via Condotti store became a favourite among film stars during the Dolce Vita era, and that same appetite for expansion continues today, with the brand opening its first standalone boutique in East India at Quest Mall, Kolkata, in September 2026.
The Jewellery Decode
The centrepiece of Khushi's look was a gold choker from Bvlgari's Parentesi collection, built from interlocking gold elements that form a structured collar around the throat. The central geometric ornament gave the piece a graphic, architectural presence, sitting close to the neck as the look's clear focal point. On her wrists, the narrow cuffs carried gold-and-black watch-finial detailing from Bvlgari's Serpenti Tubogas line, its sinuous curves translated into a sleek bracelet stack rather than a single statement watch.
Her rings and earrings pulled from the same Parentesi collection, sleek and geometric, keeping the edit visually consistent from throat to fingertips. She finished the look with a metallic gold clutch featuring a dramatic sculptural clasp, a designer accent rather than a Bvlgari piece, chosen to pick up the same warm gold tone as the jewellery.Worn together, the Parentesi choker and Serpenti Tubogas bracelets gave the look real weight without tipping into excess, the structured gold sitting in clear contrast to the fluid, liquid teal of the gown.
The pairing worked because it leaned on contrast rather than matching: the choker's hard geometric lines gave the neckline a fixed point of structure against the soft draping, the off-shoulder cut left the throat fully exposed for the Parentesi collar to frame rather than compete, and the sleek bun and neutral makeup kept the focus on the jewellery itself, which suited an evening built around Bvlgari's own design language.
