Janhvi Kapoor’s affinity for saris is well documented. She’s worn them on red carpets, at award ceremonies and for promotional appearances. For the press run of her upcoming sports drama Peddi, the actor she stepped out in a sheer chocolate brown sheer sari featuring antique gold embroidery from the Ahmedabad-based designer Nidhi Halani. Celebrity stylist Meagan Concessio enhanced the vintage look further by pairing it with XXL gold jhumkas from label Archana Aggarwal Jewellery and kalira-inspired bangles from Abhilasha Jewelry. Draped in the classic nivi fashion, the look is equal parts elegant and ceremonial.

Diminutive sequin flowers inundate the rich, diaphanous chocolate brown sari with olive green border. The standout feature of the look, though, is the high-neck blouse featuring a mandala in traditional marodi embroidery and a choker-style collar. A needle work technique originating in Rajasthan and Gujarat, the heritage craft uses a wide array of stitching techniques and corded metallic threads to create three-dimensional designs. The blouse’s open back design adds the perfect contrast to its modest front.
For the beauty look, makeup artist Riviera Lynn played into the earthy palette, and kept it simple with kohl-rimmed eyes, dramatic lashes, a bindi and nude-toned lips. Celebrity hair stylist Nikita Menon’s choice to leave the actor’s hair perfectly poker straight added to the overall drama.
From Vogue‘s fashion desk:
“To recreate this look, strip back the jewellery. Reach for a lighter pair of earrings to let the sari’s rich espresso tone and antique gold embroidery take centre stage. Add a chunky vintage gold watch for a touch of unexpected tension,” says Manglien Gangte, Vogue India fashion associate.
