Janhvi Kapoor's Cannes debut has been making waves, and among the many admirers is her cousin, Sonam Kapoor. Janhvi graced the red carpet at the 78th Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of her film "Homebound," and her choice of attire has garnered considerable attention.

Janhvi opted for a blush pink Tarun Tahiliani couture lehenga, a custom-made creation that blended traditional Indian craftsmanship with modern design elements. The outfit, handcrafted in Banaras, featured a corset top and a voluminous skirt, with a ghoonghat-like drape adding a touch of traditional elegance. The fabric, made from real tissue, was woven in Banaras and treated with a special hand-crushing technique, giving it a unique, airy feel. The ensemble was styled by Rhea Kapoor, who added layered pearl necklaces and subtle makeup to complete the look.

Sonam Kapoor, known for her impeccable fashion sense, had a succinct but expressive reaction to Janhvi's outfit. According to reports, Sonam simply said "Stunning" when asked about Janhvi's look. This one-word review speaks volumes, considering Sonam's reputation as a fashion icon.

Janhvi's choice of attire has been widely interpreted as a tribute to her late mother, Sridevi. Fans and fashion commentators have noted the resemblance to Sridevi's iconic style, particularly her penchant for traditional Indian attire with a contemporary twist. The blush pink color and the elegant drape of the lehenga evoked memories of Sridevi's grace and poise.

Social media has been flooded with comments praising Janhvi's Cannes debut. Many users noted the Sridevi-esque quality of the outfit, with comments like "Reminded me of Sridevi" and "It's giving Sridevi" trending across platforms. Others lauded the blend of tradition and modernity in the design, with many appreciating the way Janhvi carried the ensemble with confidence and grace.

Janhvi was joined on the Cannes red carpet by her "Homebound" co-stars Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa, as well as director Neeraj Ghaywan and producer Karan Johar. "Homebound" is set to premiere in the Un Certain Regard section of the festival. Janhvi's sister, Khushi Kapoor, and her boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya, are also in Cannes to support her.

Prior to her red carpet appearance, Janhvi was seen in a Miu Miu outfit, making her the first Bollywood actress to be styled in head-to-toe Miu Miu at Cannes. She also shared photos of herself in a customized night suit with "Homebound Cannes 2025" emblazoned on the back.
