Drenched in drama and elegance, Janhvi Kapoor channelled her inner ‘Kaate Nahin Kat Te’ soaked saree look at the Cannes Film Festival, and we’re screaming! The actress gave us a vintage 80s drenched saree look with modern mermaid feels.

Janhvi Kapoor Drops New Cannes Look!

On Thursday, May 22, internet personality Diet Sabya released a new look of Janhvi Kapoor from the Cannes Film Festival. While we thought her last archival Dior look slayed, this one just shut us up completely. She looked ethereal in a Di Petsa drape. Her ensemble featured an off-shoulder blouse with the soaked silhouette drenched in a sultry saree, accentuating her beautiful body.

To elevate her look, Kapoor went for a gorgeous purple choker with a hint of green, giving it a regal look. She kept her makeup super simple and super dewy, with her hair tied in a tight bun and some dainty earrings. The internet personality compared her look to her late mother Sridevi’s iconic ‘Kaate Nahin Kat Te’ soaked saree look, and we couldn’t agree more!

Their caption said, “It’s giving 80s rain-soaked siren meets postmodern femme fatale. Pure MERMAID-core. @dipetsa’s wet drapery has always celebrated the body—drenched, defiant, and unapologetically HOT. This look? Full Kate Nahin Kat Te fantasy. Styled by @rheakapoor.” One user commented, “Dur dur tak no competition,” while another said, “At least someone is pushing the envelope in the right direction.”
