Janhvi stuns in 24K gold-plated couture at Akansha Ranjan Kapoor’s pre-wedding celebrations
Mangalore Today News Network
Jul 16, 2026: If there was one look that stole the spotlight during Akansha Ranjan Kapoor’s pre-wedding celebrations, it was Janhvi Kapoor’s molten gold ensemble. Worn for one of the wedding festivities ahead of Akansha’s wedding to filmmaker Sharan Sharma, the look blurred the lines between couture, jewellery and art, proving once again why Janhvi remains one of Bollywood’s most exciting fashion risk-takers.
A Bustier That Looks Like Wearable Art
The undeniable hero of the ensemble is the 24K gold-plated sculpted bustier by Misho Designs. Rather than a conventional blouse, the metallic corset resembles a handcrafted sculpture, embossed with intricate motifs that catch the light from every angle. Bold yet refined, it transforms festive dressing into something closer to museum-worthy couture.
The statement top is paired with That Antique Piece’s draped metallic silk skirt and a silk hand-fringed shawl embroidered with a tiger motif. The fluid draping softens the architectural silhouette of the bustier, creating a look that feels simultaneously regal and contemporary.
Jewellery That Elevates the Drama
Stylist Meagan Concessio leaned into the opulence without tipping into excess. A heritage-inspired choker, stacked bangles and statement rings from Motifs by Surabhi Didwania echoed the gold tones of the bustier, while ornate jhumkas from Suman’s Jewellery x Dew & Bloom added traditional charm. A textured gold clutch by Meera Mahadevia and elegant heels from Aprajita Toor completed the monochromatic luxury story.
Beauty That Lets the Outfit Shine
With a sleek braided ponytail by Sourav Roy and luminous bronze makeup by Savleen Manchanda, Janhvi kept the beauty look polished and understated. Dewy skin, softly defined eyes, nude lips and a tiny gold bindi ensured the metallic couture remained the focal point.
Why This Look Works
Instead of relying on embellishments or sequins, Janhvi’s ensemble celebrates craftsmanship. Sculptural metalwork, luxurious silk, artisanal embroidery and heritage jewellery come together in perfect harmony. The result is a fresh interpretation of Indian occasion wear, one that feels rooted in tradition while embracing avant-garde design.
The celebrations marked the wedding festivities of actor Akansha Ranjan Kapoor and filmmaker Sharan Sharma, who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Mumbai after dating for nearly four years. Akansha made her acting debut with Netflix’s Guilty and has since appeared in projects including Ray and Monica, O My Darling. She is also one of Alia Bhatt’s closest friends and the younger sister of actor Anushka Ranjan. Sharan Sharma is best known for directing Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and Mr. & Mrs. Mahi. Their wedding brought together Bollywood’s biggest names, with the sangeet becoming one of the season’s most stylish celebrity gatherings.
