Is Janhvi Kapoor wearing the tuxedo dress or is the dress wearing her? Subverting how one can wear a dress is kind of the point here. In her recent look from Balmain's Resort 2025 collection, the actor wore a black and white tuxedo dress with the brand's label prominent on the front. Featuring a button at the hip area and a slit at the bottom, the dress also includes pocket flaps, blending the structure of a jacket with the elegance of a dress.
