When Janhvi Kapoor takes the ethnic route, we simply stop, stare and take notes. On Thursday, June 26, 2025, the actor stepped out in Mumbai to attend the re-release premiere of Muzaffar Ali’s 1981 film Umrao Jaan. The musical drama featured veteran star Rekha as the titular courtesan and poet.
She also shared a reel from a photoshoot on her Instagram account, captioning it as, “For my Pedamma #UmraoJaan the classic, in theatres all over India from tomorrow.”
For the event, Janhvi Kapoor slipped into a stunning white embroidered anarkali suit, emulating the movie’s iconic character in terms of grace and elegance. The flowy silhouette came with a plunging sweetheart neckline.
Intricate floral, beaded and mirror work dominated the ankle-grazing enthnic ensemble. Delicate borders at the hem added charm to her outfit.
Janhvi complemented her vintage wardrobe pick with an ornately decorated dupatta, which was styled like a boho-traditional jacket. The beige-coloured dupatta bore similar hand-woven designs and patterns echoing the grandeur and opulence that are hallmarks of Umrao Jaan, the film.
