We made sure that no one could turn away from the sight of Indians at Cannes yesterday, from Janhvi Kapoor gliding down the red carpet like she was in a dream sequence to Ruchi Gujjar nonchalantly sporting Prime Minister Modi on her necklace. Aside from some humorous blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments (like the mysterious black ring on Janhvi's wrist), there were some jaw-dropping looks. Cannes moments really delivered Friday night, whether you came for the memes or the couture.Janhvi donned custom Anamika Khanna couture for today's official premiere of her movie Homebound. She accessorized her look with a variety of vintage traditional Indian jewelry, including custom jade and jadao pieces.The actor made her big entrance the day before wearing a delicate pink Tarun Tahiliani ensemble that was designed by Rhea Kapoor.
The ensemble resembled a hybrid of a gown and a lehenga. The fabric, which was actually Banarasi tissue, had a hand-crushed, crinkled texture that gave it the appearance of wearable silk origami. The skirt had significant volume, the corset was rigid, and a flowing drape that resembled a contemporary ghoonghat swept across her head. A floral garland, rosy cheeks, pearls, and a traditional winged liner completed the ensemble.Of course, nobody is safe on the Internet. A keen-eyed fan snapped, "Bro forgot to take off hair band from hand," as he zoomed in on her wrist. Who's checking? It might have been a Kala Nazir topic.
