Janhvi Kapoor just made the French Riviera her runway—and wow, what an entrance. The 28-year-old Bollywood star lit up the red carpet at the Homebound premiere during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, and let’s just say—Sridevi would be proud.
Wearing a dreamy custom Tarun Tahiliani gown that screamed elegance with a dash of old-school royalty, Janhvi stunned in a blush-pink ensemble inspired by handwoven Benarasi tissue. Add in a dramatic veil and jaw-dropping Chopard jewelry, and the look had everyone (and we mean everyone) talking.
“This was a tribute to my mom,” Janhvi told Vogue Arabia, and honestly? Mission accomplished.
But it wasn’t just her look stealing hearts—director Neeraj Ghaywan was spotted adjusting her outfit on the red carpet like a total gentleman, a moment that Hindustan Times called “sweet” and “grounded.” We love a red carpet that’s not just about glam but also real support.
Backing her all the way? Sis Khushi Kapoor, boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya, and OTT bestie Orry. Yep, her personal entourage brought the energy—and the Instagram stories.
Homebound, Janhvi’s latest film directed by Ghaywan, premiered in the Un Certain Regard section—big deal territory for rising cinema. It stars Janhvi, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa as young friends chasing justice and respect by becoming cops in rural India. Grit meets heart.
Oh, and fun fact? Homebound has Martin Scorsese as executive producer. So yes, the girl’s out here making global moves.
From airport looks to that Cannes glow-up, Janhvi’s officially made her international red carpet debut—and what a debut it was. She didn’t just walk the red carpet. She owned it.
