Janhvi Kapoor Makes a Dreamy Cannes Debut in Custom Tarun Tahiliani Look

Janhvi Kapoor lit up the red carpet at the 78th Cannes Film Festival on May 20, making her much-awaited debut in a look that was nothing short of magical. Dressed in a custom Tarun Tahiliani outfit, she brought a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern drama to the international stage.

Her outfit was a delicate mix of structure and softness. She wore a beautifully fitted corset paired with a pleated skirt made from Banarasi tissue fabric — light, shimmery, and full of movement. The soft pink colour gave it a dreamy feel, while the raw-edged train added just the right touch of drama as it trailed behind her.

The corset, boning, had a sharp, sculpted fit that hugged Janhvi’s figure beautifully, and with its lace-up details. Soft drapes around her waist and shoulder added a graceful contrast, softening the boldness of the corset and giving it a more elegant feel. The fabric's hand-crushed texture added depth, while its subtle metallic shine caught the light perfectly, giving her an almost ethereal glow.

Rhea Kapoor, who styled the look, layered strands of Chopard pearls and diamonds around Janhvi’s neck — a classic, luxurious touch that didn’t overpower the outfit. She kept the rest simple with diamond studs. One unexpected twist? A hood-like veil draped over her bun, adding a bit of fantasy and high-fashion drama to the entire look.

Her makeup, done by Savleen Manchanda, was fresh and glowing — soft blush, nude lips, and just enough highlighter to give her that radiant, lit-from-within finish.

From head to toe, Janhvi’s look was thoughtful, glamorous, and totally in sync with the magic of Cannes. It was a major red carpet moment — and she absolutely owned it.
