In Schiaparelli Couture

Alia walked the red carpet on Friday afternoon wearing a custom gown from Schiaparelli styled by Rhea. The gown was modified from the version presented at the 2025 Couture collection and for some reason the end result feels like a watered down Schiaparelli than an original. Add to that this baby hair styling which to me was bordering on black culture appropriation. Overall, I was not feeling this.

I may be the minority here but as always it just feels more like Ms. Kapoor is so busy going for shock via name value or vintage label sourcing, it doesn’t feel like she factors in at all the person who will eventually wear it.

Janhvi attended the amfAR Gala at Cannes 2025 wearing a vintage YSL velvet jacket with custom skirt from Anamika Khanna paired with Jimmy Choo pumps and a statement wide brim fascinator. Rhea did what Rhea does best, mixing vintage with a touch of Indian and Janhvi did look great. But given the Spring season and the French Riveira locale, the look as a whole just felt way too heavy to me.

Janhvi attended the photocall and screening of her movie at Cannes wearing a custom Anamika Khanna creation featuring an embroidered backless bodice and light green skirt with an embroidered border. Kundan jewellery finished out her look including a neckpiece that went down her back highlighting the backless bodice.

The jewelled back is very reminiscent of Cate in her Gaultier but coming back to Ms. Kapoor, this was an interesting look but also very Sonam coded.

The cast of Homebound walked the red carpet at the screening of Vie Privée and Janhvi was seen wearing a pink corset top and lehenga skirt from Tarun Tahiliani. Between the light pink and plissé material, the gown felt ethnic enough without venturing too much into the bridal lehenga territory. She looked nice here.

At the Digital awards evening, Kareena was seen in a burgundy draped sari and embroidered corset from Tarun Tahiliani. The corset being part sheer was a bit off a turnoff but that is a minor gripe.

Unpopular opinion but yet again, I didn’t think this look worked on Kareena. The outfit itself felt dated and the finishing touches didn’t elevate it either. I feel like Rhea (her stylist today) gets so lost in the “sourced something vintage/archival/not the ordinary” that she loses focus on how to style the piece to match today’s sensibilities.
