Janhvi Kapoor took the stage at Lakme Fashion Week as the showstopper for Rahul Mishra’s AFEW collection, delivering a dramatic fashion moment.
She first walked in a floor-length robe coat, which she dramatically shed to reveal a stunning black bodycon gown underneath, adding a theatrical touch to her appearance.
The black robe featured structured tailoring with padded shoulders, giving her a commanding presence, while the black bodycon dress underneath had a shimmering Bandhani print, merging traditional and contemporary styles.
The bodycon dress featured a silver Bandhani print, creating a starry effect, representing Rahul Mishra’s experimental approach to blending heritage with modern fashion.
The bodycon dress was designed with a form-fitting bodice and a sweetheart neckline, adding an element of sultriness, while the high thigh slit added a spicy vibe to her ramp walk.
Janhvi accessorized with long, dangling earrings, keeping her makeup minimal with a focus on dewy, understated glam, which enhanced her sensual energy on the ramp.
With her commanding energy and grace, Janhvi confidently owned the stage, elevating the dramatic effect of her grand reveal.
Janhvi is set to star alongside Sidharth Malhotra in Param Sundari, releasing on July 25, 2025, and will also appear with Varun Dhawan in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.
While Janhvi's look received praise for its glamour and energy, some internet users were critical, questioning her choice as the showstopper, claiming she didn’t look like a traditional model.
