A stunning video of the Bollywood actress in the Manish Malhotra masterpiece also made its way online.
Have a look at the video here:
The outfit comprised a voluminous gold tissue lehenga – feather-light yet rich with metallic threads that caught the light with every move. The dupatta was draped voni-style, a deliberate nod to the classic langa voni silhouette, blending nostalgia with high fashion.
The hand-embroidered blouse, adorned with pearls, sequins, and crystals on sheer tulle, resembled a jeweller’s masterpiece, with pearl-strung straps at the back adding delicate movement. A narrow gold kamarband cinched her waist, lending definition to the otherwise fluid silhouette.
Her accessories elevated the regality of the look further. Janhvi wore a yellow-gold choker encrusted with diamonds and emeralds, its tiered layers introducing sharp green accents against the molten palette. Temple-style jhumkas with granulated detailing framed her face, while a single statement emerald ring added contrast. Completing the jewellery curation were matching bangles that tied the whole aesthetic together, making the ensemble a study in rich traditional glamour.
The beauty look was sculpted yet soft, complementing the grandeur of the outfit. Janhvi’s makeup featured luminous skin with subtle contouring, petal-pink lips, and winged eyeliner accentuating her kohl-rimmed eyes. A red bindi on her forehead lent a timeless touch, grounding the ensemble in bridal elegance.
Her hair was slicked into a low bun wrapped in fresh mogra, its visual appeal sealing the look with classic romanticism.
