Star-Studded “Homebound” Premiere: Janhvi Kapoor, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Malaika Arora Dazzle

The recent premiere of the film “Homebound” turned into a star-studded affair, with some of Bollywood‘s biggest names gracing the red carpet. While the film, which has been selected as India’s official entry for the 2026 Oscars, was the main event, the fashion choices of the celebrities in attendance stole the spotlight. From nostalgic tributes to modern, edgy ensembles, here’s a detailed look at who wore what at the “Homebound” premiere.

Janhvi Kapoor: A Timeless Tribute

The leading lady of the film, Janhvi Kapoor, was undoubtedly the center of attention. She paid a heartfelt and emotional tribute to her late mother, the legendary actress Sridevi, by re-wearing one of her iconic sarees. The royal blue and black Manish Malhotra saree, adorned with intricate gold embroidery, was the very same piece Sridevi had famously worn to Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s wedding reception in 2017. Janhvi styled the classic drape with a sleek bun, a black velvet blouse, and statement jewelry, including a choker necklace and traditional jhumkas. The ensemble was a perfect blend of sentimental value and timeless elegance, resonating deeply with fans and the media alike.

Tamannaah Bhatia: The Boss-Lady Look

Tamannaah Bhatia arrived at the premiere serving a powerful and sophisticated look that was a fresh take on the classic black dress. She opted for a sleeveless tailored blazer dress. The sharp blazer bodice with its lapels contrasted beautifully with the sheer, pleated skirt at the bottom, creating a look that was both business-like and fashion-forward. The outfit exuded a “boss-lady” vibe, making a strong style statement without being overly flashy.

Malaika Arora: Embracing the Y2K Aesthetic

Known for her bold and glamorous fashion, Malaika Arora brought a touch of nostalgia to the red carpet. She embraced the Y2K (early 2000s) aesthetic with her outfit, which consisted of black capri pants and a striking gold and black corset top. She completed the look with a chic baguette bag, perfectly capturing the essence of the fashion trends from that era. Her choice was a departure from the more traditional red carpet gowns and showed her fearless approach to style.

Other Notable Appearances

The premiere also saw a host of other celebrities showcasing their unique fashion sensibilities.

• Khushi Kapoor, in support of her sister Janhvi, opted for a simple yet chic black midi dress, accessorizing with black strappy heels and a diamond choker.
• Twinkle Khanna gave power dressing a bohemian twist, pairing a sleek black blazer with vibrant, geometric-printed wide-legged pants.
• Diana Penty chose a minimalist black gown with a subtle cut-out detail, proving that understated elegance can be just as impactful.
