Very few stars in Bollywood understand the power of restrained glam in fashion. While some are still struggling, Janhvi Kapoor has become the boss of it and has left us completely obsessed over her maximal, dramatic ensembles, which often carry a viral spectacle edge.
Choosing softness with craftsmanship, the diva recently stepped out in a hand-embroidered couture gown, crafted by Rahul Mishra, which felt less like an ensemble but more like a moment suspended in the ethereal light.
Rahul Mishra, who is known for his commitment to artisanal Indian heritage, has long blurred the lines between fashion and fine art. His philosophy revolves around translating something into magic, where this piece caught the light like scattered stardust, and where the embellishments felt iconic and not overwhelming at all.
Janhvi, being his number one muse, wore this strapless gown where the body-hugging silhouette framed her figure with precision, falling straight to the floor, without any ruffles, flares, or excess volume. The side columns elongated her figure and created a statuesque-majestic appearance that felt commanding yet modern.
Drenched in soft ivory hues, the base canvas looked refined, clean, and luminous, where the simplicity made everything look balanced and dropped the celestial glow.
But, instead of glitter, he used sequins dipped in blush, mint, lavender, and silver notes, which formed wave-like formations and looked like the detailing was light dancing on water.
She completed the look with a sheer tulle drape around her arms, which added the final note of romance and whispered a tale of soft motion with no drama. For her accessories, she opted for an emerald and diamond choker, which framed her collarbone, with matching studs, and glowing yet understated makeup.
Keeping her hairstyle sleek, she allowed the focus to stay on the craftsmanship and turned this minimal dressing into something magical. Janhvi didn’t just wear this gown, but she embodied a new-age carpet ethos where elegance is not measured by excess charm, but it is carried by the vision and artisan’s emotions.
