Janhvi Kapoor made her much-anticipated Red Carpet debut at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. On May 20, 2025, Janhvi graced the prestigious event for the premiere of her latest film, Homebound. The elder daughter of legendary Bollywood actress, Sridevi, made sure to make her first appearance at Cannes a memorable one. She not only made a style statement in her blush pink tissue ensemble but also paid homage to her mother, one of the most astonishing actresses of her time.
Dressed in a delicate couture outfit by Tarun Tahiliani, Janhvi brought a graceful fusion of modernity meets tradition at the global stage. Her hooded veil echoed the iconic look of Sridevi from the time she made heads turn in a glittery hooded outfit by Xerxes Bathena.
Janhvi Kapoor’s specially-woven ensemble for Cannes 2025
When she finally got the chance to grace the prestigious Cannes Red Carpet, Janhvi Kapoor made sure to use this opportunity to showcase Indian artistry on the global stage. The actress’s outfit was a custom ensemble featuring a structured corset and voluminous pleated skirt, made from real tissue fabric specially woven in Banaras. This handwoven textile, rich with cultural legacy, was given a modern finish through a hand-crushing technique, creating an airy, textured silhouette that looked like poetry in motion.
