Janhvi Kapoor just made her debut at the Cannes Film Festival in a meticulously crafted custom Tarun Tahiliani ensemble. She wore a hand-woven, metallic tissue skirt and corset in the most gorgeous shade of pastel pink.


A beautiful texture lent itself to the outfit, which was achieved with a hand-crushed technique, and added a layer of gravitas to the look. The fabric, which was entirely fluted, was the star of the look.

The corset featured impeccable boning, and it fit her like a glove. We also see the signature Tarun Tahiliani drape, which extends itself to the bodice and around her shoulders, covering a little bit of her hair, which was pulled into a sleek bun.

To add to the drama, the hemline of the skirt was left unfinished, which is said to be an ode to the rawness of the craft. She styled the outfit with multiple pearl necklaces and diamond studs, kept her hair clean and make-up minimal and dewy.

The look, styled by Rhea Kapoor, is representative of her aesthetics and is refreshing to see, especially considering some other looks that we have seen on the red carpet so far. The drama of the look, ironically, lies in its understated richness.
