Cannes, May 23: Bollywood’s rising star Janhvi Kapoor ensured her final appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 ended on a majestic high note. Draped in classic black and exuding vintage sophistication, the actress turned heads at the amfAR Gala, dressed in an ensemble that paid tribute to Yves Saint Laurent’s golden era with a modern Indian touch.
The actress, who stars in the upcoming film Devara: Part 1, channeled her inner diva with a captivating blend of French haute couture and Indian elegance. Her striking look was the brainchild of cousin and celebrity stylist Rhea Kapoor, who curated the outfit as an ode to the late 1980s legacy of YSL.
Janhvi’s outfit featured a velvet, double-breasted cropped jacket from YSL’s Rive Gauche 1987 collection, paired with a sculpted, oversized saucer hat that commanded the room with its drama and flair. This was teamed with a custom silk chiffon pencil skirt by Anamika Khanna, complete with a daring thigh-high slit — seamlessly blending vintage charm with contemporary grace.
Adding sparkle to the already glamorous look were yellow diamond accessories from Chopard, including a floral-inspired pair of earrings and a cocktail ring, lending Janhvi a refined opulence suited for the red carpet.
Her sleek low bun, styled by hairstylist Mare Pedrozo, perfectly balanced the oversized hat, while makeup artist Savleen Kaur Manchanda worked her magic with a nude-toned glam look — bronzed cheeks, softly defined eyes, and a neutral lip, ensuring the spotlight remained on Janhvi’s radiant features.
With this look, Janhvi Kapoor signed off from Cannes 2025 in true style — elegant, bold and unmistakably unforgettable. Her debut year at the prestigious festival has set new benchmarks for Indian celebrity fashion on global platforms.
