From the front, Janhvi Kapoor’s hairstyle looks simple enough. The young debutante chose to pull her hair away from her face into a low plait, with a pearl maang tikka highlighting that centre parting. And you’d be forgiven for thinking that was all. But once the fresh-faced fashion icon turned around, we got a full view of the mastery her hairstylist employed that day.
As we predicted, floral hair pieces are going to be huge this summer, and Janhvi demonstrated a relatively simple but statement-making way to use fresh blooms in your hair as opposed to the traditional gajra. Showing off that beautiful low-backed embroidered choli with the elaborate tie-back from Manish Malhotra, her braid was festooned with asymmetrically placed white flowers.
