Janhvi Kapoor signs off from TIFF in custom Ritu Kumar couture, styled by Rhea Kapoor
Closing her Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) journey with a flourish, Janhvi Kapoor stepped out in a look that was equal parts regal and contemporary. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, the actor wore a custom Ritu Kumar Couture ensemble that turned heads with its intricate craftsmanship and bold silhouette.
The suit was a celebration of Indian textile artistry, ornate embroidery in burnished gold and copper tones unfurled like a tapestry across a black base, creating an almost regal armor effect. The sharply tailored blazer, paired with cropped trousers, was a clever twist on traditional couture, balancing heritage with modernity. By opting for a pantsuit instead of an expected gown, Janhvi projected power, confidence, and individuality, a quiet statement that red-carpet glamour need not always be defined by convention.
The embroidery-heavy outfit was offset with a sheer black turtleneck layer that lent a modern, structured balance to the ornate textures. Her accessories followed a similar philosophy. Minimal yet statement-making, she wore vintage-inspired Amrapali Jewels earrings and buttons, which echoed the richness of the ensemble without overpowering it. A classic Piaget vintage watch from Art n’ Antiques added timeless sophistication, while the ornate Meera Mahadevia clutch tied the look together with its golden shimmer. Matching embroidered heels, a collaboration between House of Toramally and Ritu Kumar, elevated the look both literally and figuratively, ensuring continuity in detailing from head to toe.
Janhvi’s hair was slicked back into a neat bun, emphasizing her structured silhouette and elongating her neckline. Dewy skin, defined brows, a subtle blush, and a glossy nude lip added freshness and youthfulness. Her winged eyeliner gave just enough drama to match the ornate outfit without overwhelming it.
What makes this appearance memorable is not just the opulence of the couture but the way it was styled. With Rhea Kapoor’s signature ability to juxtapose heritage with contemporary cool, Janhvi embodied a modern Indian woman on an international stage rooted in tradition but unapologetically forward-looking. As she bid adieu to Toronto with the caption, “Bye Toronto 👋 We Out!”, this look marked not just the end of her TIFF presence but the beginning of an exciting global style narrative for her.
