Janhvi Kapoor and Rahul Mishra pair traditional Bandhani print with bodycon dress at Lakme Fashion Week. Watch

Janhvi Kapoor showed her catwalk in a Bandhani bodycon dress from the collection of Rahul Mishra. Here's everything you need to know about what she wore.
Janhvi Kapoor walked the ramp for Rahul Mishra’s collection AFEW at Lakme Fashion Week, owning the stage with fierce showstopper energy and delivering a high-fashion, theatrical spectacle. She first appeared in a floor-length, voluminous robe coat, striking commanding poses before dramatically unveiling the stunning black gown underneath.
Let's take a deeper dive into the look- both the primary dress as well as the outerwear robe she briefly donned for the grand reveal.
More about the look
Janhvi Kapoor appeared in a black, floor-length robe that ditched the relaxed fit for a more structured, blazer-like tailoring with padded shoulders and a collar. However, it cinched at the waist like a robe, with a billowing train that added to the sense of mystery and grandeur.
The black bodycon dress underneath featured a shimmery Bandhani print on solid black, a fusion of traditional and contemporary styles. The silver Bandhani print imparted a dazzling, starry effect. Bandhani is a traditional Indian tie-dye print from Gujarat. Pairing it with a contemporary silhouette is another example of how Rahul Mishra's collections are experimental in nature.
The bodice was form-fitting and featured a sweetheart neckline, while the high thigh slit infused a spicy sultriness. Donning statement long, dangling earrings with understated glam makeup, Janhvi brought a sensual energy to the ramp.
What's next for Janhvi?
On her work front, Janhvi Kapoor will be next seen on screen with Sidharth Malhotra in Param Sundari, which is slated to release on July 25, 2025. Her next project also includes Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari with Varun Dhawan.

As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun.

A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
