Whether it’s a classic silk sari or a modern drape with traditional elements, Janhvi channels South Indian splendour with every ensemble. With her dreamy, floor-sweeping silhouettes and goddess-like poise, she turns every outing into a fashion portrait. Let’s take a closer look at some of her most captivating.

On one of her festive getaways, the diva leaned on a traditional South Indian half-sari, also known as a pattu pavadai. The traditional two-piece outfit typically consisted of a blue flared lehenga skirt with a purple drape and a metallic-purple dual-toned blouse. Serving as a masterclass in colour blocking, her Kanjeevaram skirt and blouse set also had a matching dupatta, which brought the entire aesthetic together.
