Janhvi Kapoor made a bold and beautiful debut at the 78th Cannes Film Festival 2025, and fashion lovers can’t stop talking about it. With every appearance, the young star turned heads and paid heartfelt homage to Indian heritage, while embracing international high fashion. Styled by her cousin Rhea Kapoor, Janhvi’s looks reflected both emotion and elegance, proving her rising status as a global fashion icon.
1. The Wet Saree Look – A Tribute to Sridevi
Perhaps her most viral look, Janhvi’s “wet saree” was a sensual nod to her late mother, Sridevi, and her iconic rain-drenched scenes from Chandni. Designed by Di Petsa, the saree mimicked a soaked drape aesthetic—romantic, nostalgic, and bold. Styled with emerald and sapphire jewelry and minimal makeup, it effortlessly merged traditional Indian elements with high-concept fashion.
2. Red Carpet Elegance in Tarun Tahiliani
For her official Cannes red carpet debut, Janhvi wore a delicate Banarasi tissue saree-inspired ensemble by Tarun Tahiliani. This soft pink, handwoven outfit was a second homage to her mother and Indian craft. The Chopard pearl and diamond accents, paired with subtle glam, created a timeless, graceful look that won hearts.
3. Old Hollywood with a Dior Twist
Channeling classic icons like Audrey Hepburn, Janhvi stunned in a vintage-inspired Christian Dior 1957 black silk dress. From the plunging neckline to the opera gloves and diamond accessories, everything screamed old-school glamour—modernized with a Kapoor flair.
4. Jewel-Toned Royalty in Anamika Khanna
For the premiere of her film Homebound, Janhvi turned up the drama in a couture Anamika Khanna gown. The rich, embroidered gold bodice and flowing turquoise silk skirt were eye-catching. Traditional Indian jewelry—jhumkas, bangles, jadao work—added depth and cultural richness to the red carpet.
5. Casual Chic in Miu Miu
Not every look needs to be haute couture. For a relaxed outing, Janhvi sported a playful Miu Miu set—checkered crop shirt, a grey shacket, and mini skirt. Accessories like calf-length socks, slingbacks, and sunglasses gave it a youthful, fashion-forward edge.
Final Thoughts
From Banarasi handloom to Dior’s vintage archives, Janhvi Kapoor’s Cannes 2025 journey was not just about clothes—it was a celebration of Indian identity on an international stage. With a mix of emotional tributes, fearless style, and bold experimentation, she proved she’s not just a star in the making—she’s already shining.
