Radiating understated luxury, Janhvi Kapoor recently turned heads in a butter-yellow lehenga by celebrated designer Anjul Bhandari.
The actor’s ethereal look, captured in a series of stunning photographs, paid tribute to the timeless artistry of Lucknowi chikankari—a craft that continues to define India’s couture identity.
Her ensemble was more than just fashion—it was a visual poem to heritage craftsmanship, reinterpreted through a lens of contemporary elegance.
A Love Letter to Chikankari
The lehenga, painstakingly hand-embroidered, embodied everything that makes chikankari one of India’s most revered textiles.
Every thread told a story, every motif echoed a tradition passed down through generations of Lucknow’s artisans.
Anjul Bhandari, known for her meticulous attention to detail and mastery over fine embroidery, elevated the age-old technique with modern sophistication.
Overall her design philosophy—soft color palettes, delicate textures, and graceful silhouettes—was perfect in Janhvi’s ensemble.
The Look in Detail
The ensemble featured a handcrafted lehenga skirt, densely embroidered with fine chikankari motifs accentuated by subtle mukaish work that shimmered under light.
The skirt flowed seamlessly into a lightweight dupatta, equally detailed yet airy, creating a perfect balance between opulence and simplicity. The blouse followed a minimal design, letting the intricate embroidery speak for itself. Together, the three pieces formed a cohesive visual that was both royal and refreshing.
Janhvi’s styling was deliberately minimal. Her makeup leaned toward a dewy, natural look, with soft blush tones and glossy lips.
Her hair, styled in gentle waves, framed her face elegantly.
By keeping accessories minimal—just statement earrings—she allowed the lehenga’s craftsmanship to shine.
A Tribute to Craft and Culture
Anjul Bhandari’s atelier has long been a guardian of Lucknow’s chikankari tradition. Through her work, she continues to preserve the delicate artistry while adapting it for modern sensibilities.
Chikankari, with its intricate floral and paisley motifs, is more than just embroidery—it’s a cultural heritage. Each piece can take hundreds of hours to complete, reflecting devotion, patience, and skill.
By choosing this heritage art form, Janhvi Kapoor spotlighted not just fashion but also the artisan community that sustains it.
Janhvi Kapoor’s Signature Style
Over the years, Janhvi Kapoor has established herself as one of Bollywood’s most fashion-conscious stars. Her sartorial choices often bridge the gap between vintage charm and contemporary ease. From red carpets to wedding events, Janhvi consistently champions Indian designers who celebrate traditional craftsmanship.
Hence recent look in Anjul Bhandari’s creation reinforced her commitment to authentic Indian aesthetics with a youthful, modern twist.
