Janhvi Kapoor at Umrao Jaan premiere

At the Umrao Jaan re-release premiere, Janhvi Kapoor made an impressive entrance, emulating the movie's iconic character in terms of grace and elegance.

She wore a stunning ivory Anarkali suit with intricate embroidery, which was influenced by Rekha's iconic 1981 appearance. Her attire was a charming nod to the classic role and made the special evening even more charming.

With its matching embroidered dupatta and elaborate heels, the full-sleeved ensemble echoed the grandeur and opulence that are hallmarks of Umrao Jaan. Her classic jhumkas, soft waves, and understated makeup completed the look flawlessly and added a vintage touch that blended in perfectly with the evening's nostalgic atmosphere.

Janhvi's admiration for the movie and its legacy was evident as she walked the red carpet with grace and poise, looking like the pinnacle of old-world sophistication. Her choice of attire was notable for both its visual appeal and its deeper nod to one of the most recognisable figures in Indian cinema.
