Janhvi Kapoor Owned 2025: The Looks We Loved and Deserve a Revisit
Bling Done Right
Janhvi Kapoor’s silver Falguni Shane Peacock corset and mermaid skirt set, dripping in sequins, emerald accents, and unapologetic glamour got us all speechless. Paired with diamond-emerald jewellery, dewy glam and effortless waves, the look proved once again that no one serves bling with elegance quite like her.

Remember when Janhvi set the CNN Awards Mumbai red carpet ablaze in that custom Gaurav Gupta gown? We were completely bowled over by the flame-orange silhouette, the corseted sculpting and that fiery Cosmic Inferno embroidery. It was bold, fluid and unforgettable—exactly the kind of fashion moment that proves why she’s leading 2025’s style game.
Runway Bandhani Magic
Janhvi absolutely owned the Rahul Mishra runway in that stunning black Bandhani gown, turning muse and showstopper all at once. The strapless, sculpted silhouette with a thigh-high slit brought the perfect blend of tradition and contemporary drama. Paired with nude glam and effortless waves, this look was pure main character energy.
Cannes Couture Debut
Stepping onto the Cannes red carpet, Janhvi Kapoor turned heads in a soft pink custom Tarun Tahiliani ensemble. The modern lehenga-inspired skirt and structured corset, crafted from real Benarasi tissue with a dramatic train and flowing drape, brought Indian craftsmanship to global couture.

Mint-accented jhumkas and chunky bracelets completed the effortlessly elegant, contemporary desi look.
Dripping Sari Glam
Janhvi Kapoor brought Bollywood nostalgia to the French Riviera in a “dripping sari” by Di Petsa.

Keeping her makeup natural with a rosy pink lip, she effortlessly balanced modern glamour with timeless elegance.
Vintage Hollywood Elegance
Channelling old Hollywood glamour, Janhvi Kapoor stunned in a YSL-inspired ensemble curated by Rhea Kapoor. A sculptural 1987 saucer hat and 1989 velvet jacket paired with a diaphanous silk chiffon skirt by Anamika Khanna created a poetic, vintage silhouette. Yellow diamond jewels by Chopard added the perfect touch of timeless sparkle, making this look unforgettable.
Red-Hot Statement

Heritage Meets Couture
We were head over heels for Janhvi when she shared her pictures from the Toronto Film Festival where she made headlines in a resham sari by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. Layered with an antique jamawar shawl and a vintage men’s jacket, the look celebrated Kashmiri craftsmanship in a contemporary way. Silver dejhur-inspired earrings, Amrapali bangles, and custom accessories added the perfect finishing touches.
The Miu Miu Magic
Each of Janhvi’s red carpet looks from the Toronto Film Festival had us all swooning over her. In yet another look, she chose a custom Miu Miu gown that reimagined Indian drape aesthetics in a couture silhouette. The ivory base with polka-dot accents, one-shoulder pleated overlay, and cinched waist created a perfect balance of drama and structure.
Miu Miu Paris Prep
We were completely mesmerized when Janhvi Kapoor stepped onto the Paris Fashion Week scene in head-to-toe Miu Miu. With a prep-school nostalgia vibe updated with modern flair, she radiated vintage charm and effortless sophistication. Every detail, from the tailoring to the playful accents, made it a standout global fashion moment.
Maximalist Wedding Magic
Janhvi’s maximalist Indian wear in a vibrant Jigya Patel ensemble dropped the moment we almost concluded, “They don’t do big, bold wedding outfits anymore. The cobalt-blue Patola base, intricate threadwork, mirror-embellished blouse, and voluminous Ghaghara studded with pearls created a feast for the eyes. Layered with a striking pink dupatta and metallic-coin detailing, it was a bold, festive statement that effortlessly celebrated craft and color.
