At Cannes 2025, Janhvi Kapoor’s ethereal white saree wasn’t just fashion—it was a heartfelt homage to her mother Sridevi’s timeless elegance
Janhvi Kapoor shines at Cannes 2025, carrying forward her mother Sridevi’s iconic style with every step.
Janhvi Kapoor’s Cannes 2025 debut has been nothing short of a style revelation—but one look, in particular, has left an emotional mark. Draped in a delicate white chiffon saree by London-based label DI PETSA, Janhvi paid a quiet, powerful tribute to her late mother, Sridevi—the eternal icon of grace whose ethereal white sarees remain etched in Indian cinematic memory.
Styled by her cousin Rhea Kapoor, the look was a seamless blend of heritage and high fashion. The crinkled, body-hugging saree was paired with a ruched, off-shoulder cropped blouse—a signature from DI PETSA, known for its “wet look” designs worn by global fashion muses like Zendaya and Bella Hadid. But on Janhvi, the ensemble became something more: a canvas of remembrance, strength, and timeless femininity.
The soft drape of the pallu over her shoulder instantly recalled Sridevi’s unforgettable appearances in classic Yash Chopra films, where she floated across frames in white chiffon, embodying a dreamy kind of beauty. Janhvi’s version was modern, sculpted, and sensual—but anchored in nostalgia.
She completed the look with a striking Chopard necklace featuring emeralds and sapphires, along with statement ear cuffs that added a bold edge. A sleek centre-parted low bun by hairstylist Marce Pedrozo and a flawless, dewy makeup look by Savleen Kaur Manchanda—featuring softly contoured cheeks, kohl-rimmed eyes, and a glossy nude lip—brought the entire moment together in quiet harmony.
In a festival known for its glamour, Janhvi chose to bring emotion. With this saree, she wasn’t just making a fashion statement—she was honouring a legacy. And in doing so, she reminded the world that some stories are told not in words, but in white chiffon, nostalgia, and grace.
