At Lakme Fashion Week, Janhvi Kapoor walked the runway for Rahul Mishra collection AFEW, taking centre stage with her ferocious, show-stopping energy and putting on a high-end, dramatic performance. She struck powerful stances while wearing a huge, floor-length cloak coat before revealing the gorgeous black gown underneath.
Let’s explore the ensemble in more detail, including the main dress and the overcoat robe she briefly wore for the big reveal.
Janhvi Kapoor wore a floor-length, black robe that was more structured, like a jacket, with a collar and padded shoulders instead of the loose fit. But it had a billowing train that heightened the feeling of mystery and grandeur and tightened at the waist like a robe.
Combining traditional and modern trends, the black bodycon dress below had a shimmering Bandhani print over plain black. The silver Bandhani print created a brilliant, starry impression. Gujarat is the birthplace of the classic Indian tie-dye design known as Bandhani. Another way that Rahul Mishra’s collections are experimental is by pairing it with a modern silhouette.
The high thigh slit added a spicy sultriness, and the form-fitting bodice had a sweetheart neckline. Janhvi added sensuality to the ramp by accessorizing the runway with bold, long, dangling earrings and subtle glam makeup.
Regarding her career, Janhvi Kapoor’s next film appearance will be in Param Sundari, starring Sidharth Malhotra, which is scheduled for release on July 25, 2025. Varun Dhawan and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari are also part of her upcoming film.
