Reminding us of Sridevi, say fans as they hail Janhvi Kapoor's Cannes debut look in Tarun Tahiliani outfit

Janhvi Kapoor stuns at Cannes in a pink Tarun Tahiliani lehenga, drawing comparisons to late mother Sridevi's iconic elegance.

"It's giving Sridevi – Fan comment on Janhvi Kapoor's Cannes look"

Cannes, May 21

"Firsts are always special" -- That's what Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor literally meant with her Cannes debut.

On Tuesday night, Janhvi walked the iconic red carpet of the prestigious film festival with the team of her film, Homebound. She left no stone unturned to steal attention with her outfit.

Dressed in ace designer Tarun Tahiliani's custom outfit, Janhvi looked like a vision in pink. She wore a long pleated skirt and corset crafted in tissue, specially woven in Benaras. Rhea Kapoor styled the ensemble. She elevated the attire with an integrated duppata-like drape that was attached to her sleek bun.

The surface of the outfit was "brought to life with a hand-crushed technique that lent depth and texture, while a signature TT drape added a touch of sculptural fluidity."

Janhvi exuded princess vibes. Many fans even said that her look reminded them of her mother and late actress Sridevi.

"It's giving Sridevi," a fan wrote under the comment section of the pictures posted by Diet Sabya.

"Reminded me of Sridevi," another one wrote.

"Really beautiful and elegant dress. And very beautifully worn as well," a netizen wrote while hailing Janhvi's Cannes look.

Janhvi accessorised her look with layered pearl necklaces and matching diamond studs. For the glam, she opted for dewy pink blush and a winged eyeliner.

With this customised outfit, Tarun Tahiliani perfectly blended modernity and tradition as it resembles a modern lehenga.

Several clips and pictures from the red carpet appearance of team 'Homebound' featuring director Neeraj Ghaywan, actors Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa and producer Karan Johar surfaced online.

In one of the clips, we can see Ishaan and Neeraj holding Janhvi's hand as she descended the stairs.

Before hitting the red carpet, Janhvi was spotted greeting her fans in Cannes. For the day outing, Janhvi kept it casual yet stylish as she stepped out in the French city in a matching top and skirt by the Italian brand Miu Miu.

Take a look at her look:

That Benarasi tissue work is breathtaking! So proud to see our traditional weaves getting global recognition. Tarun Tahiliani truly outdid himself blending Indian craftsmanship with modern silhouettes 🇮🇳✨

While the outfit is stunning, I wish more attention was given to the film itself rather than just fashion. Homebound is representing Indian cinema at Cannes after all. Hope the movie gets equal love!

The resemblance to Sridevi ji is uncanny! That poise, those expressions - genes don't lie 💖 Janhvi is carrying forward her mother's legacy with such grace. Emotional seeing this!

Great effort but the styling feels a bit too safe? Cannes is where you take risks! Remember Aishwarya's purple lips or Deepika's wet hair look? Wish she'd pushed boundaries more.

As someone from Varanasi, seeing Benarasi fabric on global stage makes me so emotional! Our weavers deserve this recognition. Hope this leads to more international orders for them 🙏

The whole Kapoor family cheering for her is so wholesome! Bollywood nepotism debates aside, you can't deny Janhvi's hard work. She's grown so much as an actor since her debut.
