On May 20, Janhvi made her debut at the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival ahead of the premiere of her film, Homebound. For the outing, she opted for a delicate, rose-coloured outfit designed by Tarun Tahiliani, which came with a metallic sheen. The ensemble came with a veil that covered her low bun.
According to Diet Sabya, Janhvi honoured her mother Sridevi through her attire which came with Indian touch. The post on their handle read “Janhvi channeling mother Sri for first Cannes red carpet Lewk”.
The followers also agreed with it, commenting, “It’s giving Sridevi” and “reminded me of Sridevi.”
Sridevi was known for elegance and poise, frequently gracing events in traditional Indian attire that showcased her love for her cultural heritage. She was also known for adding her own spin to classic ensembles, infusing them with a contemporary flair.
Janhvi’s custom-made skirt and corset were crafted from real tissue, specially woven in Benaras. The texture was achieved through a hand-crushed technique. She added pearl jewellery to finish the look.
