Janhvi Kapoor In Custom Tarun Tahiliani For Her Cannes Debut
Ace designer Tarun Tahiliani wrote on social media: Janhvi Kapoor’s (@janhvikapoor) ensemble features a handwoven real tissue skirt and corset, specially crafted in Benares. The surface is brought to life with a hand-crushed technique that lends depth and texture, while a signature TT drape adds a touch of sculptural fluidity. The raw, uncut hem remains untouched—an intentional ode to the authenticity of the weave. Styled by: @rheakapoor #TT #TarunTahiliani
