Ananya Panday brought sleek Chanel, Janhvi Kapoor turned vintage muse and Kareena Kapoor Khan went sculptural in the best looks of the week

This week’s fashion calendar saw a striking mix of textures and moods across events and galas. Ananya Panday served contemporary Chanel minimalism, while Janhvi Kapoor channelled ’80s Ungaro glamour in Paris. Kareena Kapoor Khan arrived in a black bodycon in Dubai, while Huma Qureshi and Sara Ali Khan closed couture runways. Closer to home, Indianwear found fresh expression in Sanya Malhotra’s cape-draped sari. Whether archival, artisanal or avant-garde, each look stood out for the clarity of its vision and execution.

Kareena Kapoor Khan brought sculptural glamour to Dubai in a sweeping black bodycon gown from Rahul Mishra. The sweetheart neckline gave way to off-shoulder mesh sleeves that extended dramatically past her shoulders, holding their solid structure with black stripes running across each arm. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, her diamond bijoux—oversized solitaires by Mehta & Sons and statement rings by Anjali Bhimrajka Fine Jewels—amplified the gown’s architectural precision. Her centre-parted hair, worn loose, and winged eyeliner added a striking finish.

Navya Naveli Nanda reimagined traditional finery through a crystal-encrusted lens in an Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla set from the Raj collection. Her sheer kurti, churidar and dupatta were covered in thousands of hand-placed crystals arranged in scalloped motifs, marrying European sensibilities with time-honoured Indian silhouettes. Transparent heels and delicate diamond earrings completed the look. Side-parted hair and blush-toned makeup complemented the opulent vibe.
