The first three episodes of The Traitors Season 2 premiered on August 13. The same day, filmmaker Karan Johar, who returns as the host of the reality show, posted pictures of his edgy, all-black look on Instagram.
The outfit, designed by Bollywood's favourite designer Manish Malhotra, was put together by celebrity stylist Eka Lakhani. Though edgy and dark, as soon as Karan posted the pictures online, the internet was quick to flood the comments section with jokes about crows, as, according to them, the outfit was quite similar to the bird.
What did the internet say?
Diet Sabya, an internet fashion sleuth and content creator, posted pictures of Karan Johar and wrote, “Krow Johar is sending me to Mars.” A user commented under the post, “Serving cawture runway.” Another wrote, “Yaku from Chandrakanta.”
Many also compared Karan's look to Moira Rose, played by the late legendary actor Catherine O'Hara, from Schitt's Creek. One user wrote, “Moira is turning in her grave.” Another joked, “Breaking: KJO replaces legend Moira Rose in The Crows Have Eyes III: The Crowening.” Someone else commented, “Moira Rose did it first. Bring the crows.”

Decoding Karan Johar's look
The Manish Malhotra outfit features a full-body trench coat with leather lapels, a double-breasted design, tailored stitching, and split sleeves decorated with black satin ribbons that give off a feather effect, which many compared to crow wings.
Karan paired the trench coat with a black satin shirt featuring a split Mandarin collar, pleated design on the breast, cinched cuffs, full-length sleeves, and a fitted silhouette. The filmmaker tucked the shirt into flared, high-waisted pants with a stitched belt at the waist.
Karan and his stylist accessorised the ensemble with statement jewels, including a gold chain adorned with a cross pendant set with a ruby. A pair of leather gloves adorned with pearls and vintage-style brooches elevated the outfit. Lastly, he chose bulky sunglasses and chunky leather boots to give a finishing touch.
