Year Ender 2025: Actors who took red carpet glam to the next level

Janhvi Kapoor

Janhvi Kapoor made a stunning Cannes debut in a rose-colored Tarun Tahiliani creation. The voluminous, metallic-sheen gown was paired with an ethereal veil over a low bun and finished with regal pearl jewellery for a sophisticated touch.

Fatima Sana Shaikh

Fatima Sana Shaikh channelled fantasy fiction in a corset-fit ivory gown. She leaned into the drama with flowing hair ribbons and long waves, keeping her jewellery minimal to let the whimsical styling take center stage.

Bhumi Pednekkar

Bhumi exuded main-character energy in a textured pastel gown of pink, purple, and white. The highlight was a dramatic white balloon-sleeve trail that added a whimsical touch to the ensemble, finished with soft waves and curated jewellery.

Aditi Rao Hydari

Stunning in a Rahul Mishra ombre creation, Aditi Rao Hydari balanced high-fashion drama with timeless elegance. The gown's intricate sparkle was amplified by refined diamond accessories, creating a standout, sophisticated look.

Mrunal Thakur

Mrunal Thakur made a major statement in a body-sculpting, textured black dress with a subtle thigh slit. Accessorised with a luxury Bulgari Serpenti watch and a mini handbag, the look perfectly balances contemporary flair with timeless glamour.

Tamannaah Bhatia

Continuing her streak as a fashion icon, Tamannaah stunned in a custom-sculpted creation by Kristina Fidelskaya. The rich red wine hue was paired with a figure-hugging halter cut and subtle sequins, creating a look that was both refined and undeniably attention-grabbing.

Diana Penty

Diana embodied red carpet royalty in a shimmering cobalt blue gown by Shantanu and Nikhil. The body-sculpting design featured dramatic, waved silhouettes that exuded unapologetic glamour.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas

The global icon stunned in a custom, vintage-inspired Balmain couture piece. An homage to Pierre Balmain’s 1950s polka-dot suit, the look featured a cinched peplum jacket and a sweeping, cinematic skirt. She completed her look with a wide-brimmed hat, Jimmy Choo pumps and Bulgari diamonds.

Shah Rukh Khan

For his 2025 Met Gala debut, Shah Rukh Khan stunned in a custom all-black Sabyasachi ensemble. The "Black Dandy" look featured a floor-length coat and satin cummerbund, elevated by regal Indian flair through talismanic chains, a diamond "K" pendant, and a signature gold tiger-headed cane.
