Janhvi Kapoor shines in Anamika Khanna’s backless gown at Cannes 2025

Janhvi Kapoor turned heads at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival during the official premiere screening of Homebound in a custom ensemble by designer Anamika Khanna. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Janhvi’s look was a flawless blend of tradition and contemporary glamor, and quickly became one of the most talked-about appearances from the festival’s red carpet.

The outfit featured an intricately embroidered gold corset-style blouse paired with a flowing mint green skirt that trailed elegantly behind her. The highlight, however, was the bold backless design that gave a modern edge to the traditional silhouette. The look was finished with a statement back chain by Aurus Jewels that ran gracefully along her spine, adding a touch of sensuality and finesse.

Janhvi’s look paid tribute to Indian heritage through accessories curated from various artisanal jewellers. She wore traditional jhumkas from Reja Gems, bangles from Radiant by Madhulika, gold kadas and earcuffs from Golecha Jewels, and custom rings—each piece reflecting craftsmanship rooted in Indian culture. The entire jewellery styling combined archival Indian jewels with custom jade and jadau creations, giving her ensemble a unique, rich texture.

Her beauty look, designed by Savleen Manchanda and Marce Pedrozo, featured a soft glam face with perfectly pulled-back hair styled into a sleek bun, keeping all the focus on the elaborate neckline and statement earrings.
