Janhvi Kapoor serves looks & legacy: Cannes gets its first ‘Bolly girl’ in Miu Miu

Janhvi Kapoor has officially arrived at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, marking her much-awaited debut at the iconic event. The young starlet is in Cannes to unveil the first poster of her upcoming film Homebound, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan. The project, already buzzing with excitement, sees Janhvi stepping into a new space both in terms of performance and global presence.

Before making her red carpet debut, Janhvi caught attention with her striking appearance at the Miu Miu-hosted lunch/dinner party—an annual event at Cannes. This year, she became the first Indian actress to be dressed head-to-toe in Miu Miu for this exclusive moment. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Janhvi’s outfit stood out for its playful charm with a touch of sophistication.

Her ensemble featured a white mini skirt paired with a matching crop top, both carrying the iconic branded waistband that nods to Miu Miu’s signature sporty-chic style. She layered the look with a gingham shirt and an oversized plaid blazer, creating a fun yet polished statement.

To complete the look, Janhvi wore sheer white knee-high socks and black Mary Jane heels, bringing in a vintage-school vibe with a fashionable twist. A tan leather shoulder bag added a cozy contrast, while slim black sunglasses gave her look a trendy edge. With soft waves in her hair and natural makeup, she let the outfit shine on its own.

Janhvi also shared her excitement on social media, posting casual moments in cozy lemon-yellow loungewear ahead of the big day. One playful picture even showed the back of her sleepwear with the words “HOMEBOUND Cannes 2025” written on it, giving fans a fun peek into her preparations.

While all eyes are on the red carpet, Janhvi’s bold entry into Cannes already feels like a fashion win. With Homebound building momentum and her fashion choices creating buzz, fans now eagerly wait to see her official red carpet look. This Cannes debut isn’t just a career milestone—it’s a major style moment for Janhvi Kapoor and a proud one for Bollywood.
