With maximalist Indian wear making its grand return, trust Janhvi Kapoor’s blue patola lehenga to set the tone for the season’s most glamorous looks. Her scene-stealing creation by Jigya Patel feels like a breath of fresh air amidst the obsession over neutral colour palettes and minimal detailing. Honestly, I was so tired of watching ivories and pastels replacing the rich jewel tones. But just when we we let minimalism rule the wedding mood board, Janhv reminded us that mood-lifting jewel tones never fade out.
Capturing the true essence of big fat Indian weddings, Janhvi Kapoor's blue patola lehenga is styled by Megan Concessio with layered ornamentation and warm makeup.
Her patola-crafted inspired timeless silhouette combines exquisite thread work detailing and shimmering embellishments. On the other hand, her blouse is a wearable art featuring lavishly embroidered sleeves, mirror work and tasselled edges.
The flowing ghaghra continued the narrative of intricate craftsmanship. Whereas, its borders are woven with Parsi gara florals and peppered with Basra pearls that brought depth and dimension.
The blue Patola-patterned dupatta featured borders adorned with metallic coins. Beyond that, what we loved even more was the addition of Shreenathji-motif embroidered panels that brought a touch of cultural artistry to the look. Furthermore, Kapoor’s dupatta showcased exquisite threadwork, its border lined with long, beaded tassels that added movement and texture.
Draped gracefully over the other shoulder, the contrasting pink dupatta added a striking counterpoint with its distinctive botanical embroidery. Additionally, matching coin accents finish the piece beautifully, tying the entire ensemble together and enhancing its glam quotient.
Accessories That Echo Her Maximalist Spirit
In keeping with her maximalist aesthetic, Janhvi’s accessories extend her bold language through delicate emeralds and gemstones. To complement the look, she carried a silver box-shaped minaudière by Agira Purse. The statement accessory is crafted from blush and turquoise gemstones and embedded with a multitude of shimmering shades..
Her jewellery sets engineered by Tribe Amrapali comprises a sculptural choker made of gemstones and silver, matching earrings, turquoise-studded rings, silver cuff and a dainty nose ring. The ornate hair brooches made of silver from the house of Silverstreaks were pinned on her neatly done braid.
Janhvi Kapoor’s beauty look embraced warm tones, featuring kohl-rimmed eyes, fluttery lashes, and a velvet-matte pink lip, all anchored by a delicate bindi.
