✨ Ivory Elegance with Theatrical Flair
For the red carpet, Johar opted for a floor-length ivory bandhgala jacket, complete with a woven jacquard collar, which exuded opulence and sophistication. He styled it with a ruffle-detailed ivory shirt underneath, creating a visual play of textures and heritage. But it was the exquisite accessories that truly made this look unforgettable.
💎 Brooches, Collar Pins & Emerald Drama
Karan’s bandhgala was heavily adorned with 18k gold brooches and collar pins, encrusted with over 14 carats of custom-cut emeralds. The detailing gave the look a luxurious edge, nodding to both regal fashion and contemporary red carpet styling. His accessories were not just ornamental—they added a historical, aristocratic vibe that many compared to the fashion of Netflix’s Bridgerton.
👢 Footwear & Finish
To round off the look, Karan wore glossy black heeled boots, adding just the right amount of edginess. His confident poses and commanding presence made sure all eyes were on him as he walked the iconic Cannes red carpet.
