Janhvi Kapoor made a striking appearance for her day 2 in Cannes red carpet, donning an Anamika Khanna couture for her film Homebound. Janhvi turned heads and captured hearts with her ‘Grace Kelly-inspired’ ensemble that effortlessly blended old-Hollywood charm with contemporary Indian craftsmanship.
The centerpiece of Janhvi's look was her regal backless gown, a silhouette that spoke volumes with its understated sensuality. The structure was a fluid fabric that hugged her body frame like a glove, flowing into delicate drapes that gave the ensemble a sense of movement with every step she took. But what truly stole the show was the jade necklace, a cascading statement piece that fell till her spine like a work of art. Dripping in elegance, the necklace became the focal point of her look, adding a luxurious touch to the minimalist back.
She kept her makeup soft and dewy with a vintage-inspired updo. Going for an Indian accessory like jhumka and bangles went perfectly with her look. Her look wasn’t just about fashion, it was a tribute to heritage and global glamour at an international platform. Anamika Khanna’s signature aesthetic combines a fusion of contemporary structure and traditional Indian detailing. And it sure was on full display, and Janhvi wore it with the poise of a style icon. The actress was styled by Rhea Kapoor, who is known to ace red carpet looks be it national or international.
She was accompanied by her co-star Ishan Khatter who donned Armani, and Karan Johar who made a striking appearance in Rohit Bal's look.
