Day 8 of Cannes 2025 is here and guess what? Janhvi Kapoor has finally made her much-hyped debut and boy, did she arrive like royalty! From gown-lifting gentlemen to glam overload, it was a red carpet to remember. That’s not all, B-town’s A-listers like Ishaan Khatter, Karan Johar, Shalini Passi, and Mouni Roy brought their fashion A-game to the French Riviera.
Here’s who wore what and how Bollywood turned the Cannes 2025 carpet into their personal runway
Princess Diaries: Janhvi’s Regal Red Carpet Debut at Cannes 2025
Janhvi Kapoor just stepped onto the red carpet like a modern-day maharani. Honouring her late mom Sridevi in the most ethereal blush-pink creation by Tarun Tahiliani, Janhvi served desi glam with a side of drama. A sheer dupatta draped over her head, layers of pearls, and that delicate sheen? We felt that royal energy. Styled by the ever-reliable Rhea Kapoor, her look was equal parts tradition and trend.
While Janhvi floated down the Cannes steps like a vision, her boys were right there to make sure she didn’t trip on that dreamy fabric. Ishaan Khatter and director Neeraj Ghaywan turned into full-time gown guardians – holding her hand, lifting the trail, and serving major chivalry goals. Internet? Obsessed. Fans called Ishaan “a green flag wrapped in velvet” and we agree.
Homebound Goes International
Janhvi wasn’t alone. Team Homebound – featuring Vishal Jethwa, Ishaan, director Neeraj, and daddy-cool producer Karan Johar, hit the red carpet like they owned it. Competing in the Un Certain Regard section, this Neeraj Ghaywan directorial has already caught the eye of none other than Martin Scorsese. That’s not just cinema, that’s history in the making!
Ishaan Khatter: Velvet Vibes & Rockstar Realness
Ishaan showed up looking like he walked straight out of a fashion editorial. Rocking a deep wine velvet suit with black embroidery, he oozed quiet confidence and full-on royalty. The Gaurav Gupta creation was everything – tailored perfection, a hint of edge, and just enough drama.
Karan Johar’s Baroque Fantasy
Karan Johar walked in and dall eyes were on him. Clad in a baroque-inspired white long coat with all the frills, buttons, and attitude, he looked like the love child of fashion and theatre. Slicked-back hair, dramatic sunnies, and that custom ivory bandhgala by Manish Malhotra? So extra, so KJo.
Vishal Jethwa: The Gentleman Surprise
Vishal Jethwa came through in a sharp Kaushik Velendra ensemble, and let’s just say – we’re impressed. Understated yet impactful, he brought that clean, confident energy to the carpet. Sometimes subtle slays hardest.
Shalini Passi: Midnight Muse with a Diamond Twist
Shalini Passi stepped out in a look that screamed celestial couture. Drenched in midnight blues, draped in diamonds from Chopard, and styled like a cosmic goddess, her look was pure star power. Her saree by Rajdeep Rawanawat and that Judith Leiber bag? we’re in love. Every detail, from the deep hues to the delicate glimmer was curated to celestial perfection.
Mouni Roy’s Chopard Moment
Serving sleek sophistication, Mouni Roy made sure her fashion game was just as radiant as the Cannes spotlight. In a stunning creation by Raffarossiello for Caroline Scheufele’s Chopard celebration, she turned heads and dropped jaws. Every stitch screamed elegance, every move radiated grace.
From royal looks to major movie milestones, Day 8 was a Bollywood blockbuster on the Cannes red carpet. Whether it was Janhvi’s emotional debut, Ishaan’s velvet slay, or KJo’s drama drip – our stars brought the heat, the heart, and all the haute couture.
Stay tuned, because if this is Day 8, we can’t even imagine what the grand finale has in store!
