Janhvi Kapoor dazzles in Manish Malhotra saree
The actor slipped into a breathtaking chiffon saree dipped in a dreamy powder-blue hue. The sheer six yards hugged Janhvi’s silhouette beautifully, while the fluid drape added a soft, romantic charm to her overall appearance.
She paired the saree with a structured bandeau blouse featuring textured detailing that brought a contemporary twist to the traditional ensemble. The fitted silhouette of the blouse contrasted perfectly with the airy and delicate drape of the saree, creating a balanced monochrome look that felt both modern and regal. The one-shoulder-inspired draping style further elevated the outfit.
What truly stole the spotlight, however, was the matching dupatta wrapped gracefully around her neck and cascading down the back. Adorned with tassel accents, the statement drape introduced movement and drama to the otherwise minimal ensemble. The dupatta not only enhanced the ethereal vibe of the outfit but also tapped into the growing trend of scarf-inspired draping that has recently dominated international red carpets.
How she styled her look
Keeping her styling minimal yet regal, Janhvi accessorised with earrings and a ring from Jet Gems, along with a bracelet from Golecha’s Jewels. Her glam, curated by makeup artist Savleen Manchanda, featured shimmery eyeshadow, mascara-coated lashes, winged eyeliner, blushed cheeks, plenty of highlighter and a glossy nude lipstick. Meanwhile, hairstylist Sourav Roy completed the look by tying her tresses into a sleek high ponytail.
The dupatta trend has also found favour globally in recent months. Recently, Alia Bhatt paired her custom pink gown by Tamara Ralph with a matching dupatta-inspired drape at Cannes, while stars like Camila Mendes and Hailey Bieber embraced similar scarf-inspired styling at the 2026 Met Gala.
On the work front
