Janhvi Kapoor’s Elie Saab dress shimmers with micro-sequins and painterly florals

Janhvi Kapoor’s latest appearance paired her affinity for elongated silhouettes with a painterly wash of florals and soft shimmer. Her Gir forest look, styled by Megan Concessio, featured a long sequin dress from Ellie Saab‘s Spring 2025 Ready-to-wear collection. The collection, inspired by sun-soaked savannah days and the striking palettes of African landscapes, leaned into foliage, textured embellishment and a spectrum of natural hues.

The slender, body-contouring cut that flared subtly at the knees was doused with thousands of micro-sequins that formed a honeycomb surface across the garment. Toward the hem, the palette deepened into botanical artwork: muted greens, soft pink florals and hand-painted foliage motifs that mirror the collection’s rainforest cues. A matching elongated scarf, also sequinned and printed, draped down one side, added movement and created a soft vertical line against the fitted shape. She finished the ensemble with the matching crystal clutch, completing a head-to-toe visual continuum.

Her accessories extended the botanical theme with a pair of long, floral earrings from House of Yarané—pink sapphire petals framing a rose-cut diamond centre in champagne gold—and a butterfly ring from Darshanaa Sanjanaa Jewellers, crafted with vivid tourmalines and diamonds.

Her beauty look was kept soft: subtly glittered lids, wispy lashes and a glossy, peach-toned lip.

From Vogue’s fashion desk:

“Drape the scarf over the neck with both ends falling behind her shoulders, tie the hair into a messy low bun to give the look a touch of insouciance. lost the clutch and add a few more rings to both hands,” says Vogue India fashion associate Manglien Gangte.
