Janhvi Kapoor’s architectural gown
While many celebs opt for sheer or 'naked' dresses, Janhvi chose a gown that screamed depth and texture. Her Sabina Bilenko dress featured 3D artistry against a soft champagne base, with the silver and midnight-blue floral work providing a heavy, luxurious contrast.
The silk organza coat served as an architectural frame. The oversized, ruffled bell sleeves added a vintage silhouette, while the sheer fabric ensured the intricate beadwork of the gown remained visible.

Janhvi Kapoor’s faux-bob
The most unique element of Janhvi Kapoor’s look was her hair. Rather than committing to a chop, Janhvi’s team used a tuck-under technique to create a faux-bob. By using deep side-parting and sculpted S-waves, her stylists mimicked the Old Hollywood glamour of the 1930s. This short hair look opened up her neckline, allowing the strapless gown and the diamond-sapphire necklace to take centre stage without visual clutter.

Sapphire necklace matched her gown's embroidery
This was paired with a statement diamond-and-sapphire necklace, whose deep blue stones echoed the midnight-blue tones of the gown's intricate 3D floral embroidery. To maintain a focus on these high-octane elements, the rest of the styling followed a soft-focus glam aesthetic; a classic winged eyeliner defined Janhvi's features without competing with the shimmer of her accessories.
