Janhvi Kapoor’s quintessential summer capri is the Y2K fashion revival we need

Our Bollywood fashion mavens seem to be living in two closets—one where they dress up like normal members and channel different fashion aesthetics, and the other when they step out on red-carpet events. The distinction between these two is that personal style and commercial viability frequently clash.

However, breaking this bridge, actors like Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor are channelling different fashion aesthetics and trends on red carpets, during movie promotions, and more, catching the attention of the fashion police. Recently, Bollywood’s Sundari, aka Janhvi Kapoor, swore to bring back the Y2K fashion staple, capri pants, and gave a stunning outfit inspiration.

For her latest look, the diva wore a sheer white panelled blouse from Sans Faff and teamed it with crisp white tuxedo-style cigarette pants cut at a bold capri length. Making a strong case for Y2K fashion, Janhvi took us back in time to when these humble capri pants were the ideal summer call for fashion girlies all across the globe. Love them or hate them, every teen movie or show had this pair teamed with a low-key, fashionable platform flip-flop.

Igniting a debate online around the capri trend—love it or not—Janhvi made a strong case for its return and took fashion lessons from her younger sister, who wore a black capri pant set in Cannes.



Janhvi styled this monochrome fit with matching white pumps and kept a sharp, same-shade palette, with delicate rings, minimal stud earrings, and soft curls. Keeping a dewy makeup base, she decorated her eyes with winged eyeliner and heavy lashes, letting the ensemble shine through effortlessly.
