Janhvi Kapoor attended the BoF 500 gala at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris during Paris Fashion Week in a custom Pankaj S Heritage ensemble. Times Now reports the white and gold look, styled by Rhea Kapoor, features a saree-like silhouette with bejewelled sleeves, golden loops, blush pink tassels, and a centre-parted bun.

Yes Punjab reports the saree is made from 460-count Bengal Muslin, a fabric Rhea Kapoor described as ‘woven like air’. The off-white six-yard ensemble includes polki, garnet and emerald embellishments, Saraafa tassels, Kiran detailing and Resham fringes, highlighting Indian Muslin Khadi heritage.
Times Now frames the look as an ‘Apsara aesthetic’ rooted in old-world Bollywood charm, emphasising Janhvi Kapoor’s personal style evolution and previous Cannes appearance. Yes Punjab focuses on the textile craftsmanship, reporting Rhea Kapoor’s technical description of the 460-count Bengal Muslin as ‘the truest form of luxury’. The outlets agree on the designer and styling details but diverge in emphasis: one foregrounds celebrity image, the other foregrounds heritage and craft. The coverage is uniform on the ensemble itself, the difference is in the angle, not the facts. The article also notes an unrelated AI-generated video of Kapoor drew criticism before being taken down.
