4 times Janhvi Kapoor proved the 2000’s V-neck trend is not going anywhere

A binge-watch for some and a guilty pleasure for the rest – Karan Johar’s latest season of Koffee with Karan grabbed eyeballs with it’s first episode last Thursday marking its highest Day 1 record. Its first episode featuring Alia Bhatt in a whimsical pink Magda Butrym dress opposite Ranveer Singh was reminiscent of a soft date night look. The next guests on the star-studded show include Janhvi Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan and their sartorial picks on the couch highlighted a distinct contrast. If you’ve been keeping up with Kapoor’s sartorial evolution, her leaning towards sequins and metallics is hard to miss. While on the other hand, Khan gave a break to her bright neons and channelled that French chic in a navy mini dress.

Kapoor’s Alexandre Vauthier number bore ruching details while Khan’s Saint Laurent dress came with a mini hemline

Kapoor’s long evening dress with iridescent microcrystals on stretched jersey featured a long plunging V neckline. Her gathered skirt included ruching details and a high thigh-slit. French couture designer Alexandre Vauthier is known for his retro-bling aesthetic and Kapoor’s bright slashes of sequins screamed 80s-inspired disco mood- in sync with Vauthier’s signature style. While Kapoor went OTT glam, Khan channelled her inner the sophisticated diva-on-the-rise in a Saint Laurent mini dress. The halter neckline of the dress featured a sailor collar and a satin bow. YSL’s key aesthetic of deconstructed minimalism, monochrome colours and effortless dressing was well curated by Ami Patel through Khan’s embodiment of modern Parisian elegance. She styled her look with minimal studs while Kapoor skipped accessories and let her shimmery statement dress take centre stage.

Janhvi Kapoor recently took to Instagram, to share pictures of her latest party occasion with sister Khushi Kapoor. Posing alongside Shanaya Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, the trio was spotted in glitzy micro mini dresses reminiscent of the Paris Hilton era. Bombshell blowouts and chain-male dresses– the girls are clearly referencing a major throwback moment from the 2000s decade. The Y2K trend gained momentum during the lockdown days with the resurgence of baby tees, hot pink, playful prints and the micro mini trend. Taking notes from Karan Johar’s birthday bash from earlier this month, sequins seem to be having a moment in the film industry. From Janhvi Kapoor’s shimmery promotional style diaries to Shanaya Kapoor’s penchant for micro-minis, the Kapoor girls highlight a dopamine-induced wardrobe with popping colours, metallics and tonnes of bling.

The Kapoor girls said yes to cowl necks, tiny hemlines and unapologetically flashy sequins

While Janhvi Kapoor donned a shimmery pink number with a cowl neck and thin straps supporting the back, Shanaya Kapoor went with a silver tube dress paired with white sneakers. Khushi Kapoor was spotted twinning with Shanaya in a sequin mini dress featuring a similar cowl neck as Janhvi’s. The trio sported smokey eyes with nude lips, accessorised with minimal jewellery. With Khushi Kapoor all set to make her debut in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, she has been on the radar since the teaser release, the 21-year-old was hosted with a retro themed welcome party as Janhvi Kapoor writes in her Instagram caption “The Kapoor’s the criminals #welcomehomekhush.”

 Fashion Week has concluded and the arresting carousels of throwback snapshots have gained some serious mileage on the ‘grams of Bollywood celebrities and designers alike. Right from playful BTS snippets to artfully curated lookbooks, the industry is currently busy reminiscing about the high-octane moments from the runway and honestly, we aren’t complaining. Most recently, it was the power duo, couturier Manish Malhotra and his muse, Janhvi Kapoor who took to the ‘gram to share the latter’s repertoire that she donned to support Malhotra’s millennial-friendly and opulent showcase on the runway. The collection, titled Diffuse, embodied the spirit of youth, presented an ease-to-couture offering, stood high on functionality and style and was a riot of colourful prints and unique textures. The lineup was a perfect match for Kapoor’s sartorial sensibilities and the young actor’s choice of outfit for the night serves as proof. In case you missed it, keep scrolling for a closer peek. 

The dress exuded a metallic sheen and bore unique broken patterns 

Janhvi Kapoor turned cheerleader for her cousin, Shanaya Kapoor who took her inaugural steps as showstopper alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi at Malhotra’s show. She aced front-row style to the core in a figure-skimming metallic mini dress that bore a plunging V-neckline and full sleeves. The dress stood out for its unique surface finish and a conversational metallic palette of black, silver and pink–set in broken patterns all over the bodice. A sexy thigh slit, a backless frame and a band right above the hip for that extra snatched waist added a generous amount of drama to the OOTD. A middle-parted sleek updo, kohl-rimmed eyes, glossy lids and balmy lips were her glam picks for the event and she opted for diamond-encrusted hoop earrings, an emerald ring and peep-toe sparkly heels to add the finishing touches. 

Right from cocktail parties to night-outs with your girl pals, Jahnvi Kapoor’s mini dress will surely make heads turn wherever you tread. Keep scrolling to bookmark similar pieces via our edit below.

Janhvi Kapoor knows how to nail a figure-hugging silhouette, and her recent look did not disappoint. Dressed to attend Ranvir Singh’s new show, The Big Picture, Kapoor put her best foot forward in a dress that pulled out all the stops. Read on to get the details of her look.

Janhvi Kapoor paired her embellished dress with gold Steve Madden stilettos 

An all-over sequin dress is a party closet staple, which is why Janhvi Kapoor’s pink look is our ultimate party-season pick. First, the balloon sleeves, which are cinched at the wrist, add both volume and romance to the ensemble. Not to mention that a balloon sleeve is bang on-trend. Next, nothing says party like a plunging neckline—showing a little skin also helps give the look some much-needed relief from what is otherwise a heavily embellished outfit. The sequins are vital in how they play up a sense of occasion and help lend the look a festive vibe. Kapoor’s sequined number is by Nadine Merabi, and is in line with the designer’s signature embellished bridal and party wear. A feminine silhouette, dramatic sleeves and a constellation of sequins—three things we approve of in a party ensemble—are all present and accounted for in the actor’s outfit. Kapoor paired her sequined dress with gold stilettos from Steve Madden, and we think this look deserves a bookmark for when you’re planning an outfit for your next big party.
