The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2025 has been buzzing with cinematic brilliance, but Janhvi Kapoor made sure fashion had its own moment on the global stage. With Rhea Kapoor styling her
in ensembles that bridged cultural heritage with archival couture, Janhvi’s appearances have become the talk of both fashion circles and film enthusiasts. Whether reimagining Kashmiri textiles or walking in vintage Prada, she reminded us that red carpet fashion can be as much about storytelling as it is about glamour.
Adding further depth, Janhvi paired the look with a jamavar shawl adorned with delicate resham tassels, a subtle nod to Kashmiri craft traditions. Her accessories told their own story too — silver earrings designed as a modern tribute to the Kashmiri dejhur, reimagining a bridal ornament into a red-carpet jewel. On her feet, block heels embroidered with the same jamavar motifs tied the whole look together without overwhelming it.

If her first look was a celebration of Indian textile legacies, Janhvi’s second outing leaned into global couture heritage. She walked in a strapless gold number from Prada’s Spring 2004 collection — a rare archival piece that merged sari-inspired silk with the structured elegance of Western silhouettes. The dress shimmered with intricate embroidery and motifs reminiscent of traditional Indian craftsmanship, yet its tailored form gave it a thoroughly modern edge.
