The recent Ambani wedding solidified Janhvi Kapoor’s status as Bollywood’s next fashion icon. After stunning in various outfits throughout the festivities, Janhvi further impressed in a chic black and white Balmain tuxedo dress, showcasing her versatility in both traditional and contemporary styles.
Janhvi Kapoor’s latest ensemble, a tuxedo dress from Balmain’s Resort 2025 collection, redefines classic elegance. This design merges the sophistication of a tuxedo with the allure of a dress, a fusion that Balmain executes flawlessly. The black and white ensemble features all the hallmarks of a tuxedo—complete with a front button and pocket flaps—but with the added flair of a dress.
Janhvi perfectly complements the look with black and white lace-up heels, delicate gold jewelry, and stylish sunglasses, embodying Bollywood royalty. The Balmain label stands out prominently, enhancing the dress’s classic appeal.
This appearance aligns with Janhvi’s penchant for method dressing, a trend she embraced while promoting her previous film, Mr & Mrs Mahi. Now, she’s channeling high-fashion corporate chic to promote her upcoming movie, Ulajh, where she stars as a young diplomat.
Janhvi isn’t alone in embracing the black and white trend this season. Hollywood celebrities like Greta Lee and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan also opted for this timeless color combination at recent awards functions. Similarly, Dolce & Gabbana and Balmain’s 2024 collections feature striking structured dresses in these classic hues.
Balmain’s SS25 collection has seen other standout moments too, with Gigi Hadid previously wearing a blue dress from the same line, embroidered with the female form. With Janhvi Kapoor’s latest appearance, it’s clear that she and Balmain make a perfect style match.
