Anushka Sharma steals the spotlight at IPL 2025 final in glittering rhinestone jeans while cheering for Virat Kohli
Anushka Sharma turned heads at the IPL 2025 final in Ahmedabad, supporting Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. She redefined match-day fashion with a stylish rhinestone denim outfit, pairing Sandro jeans with an oversized white shirt. Her look balanced comfort and cool-girl chic, accessorized with a gold watch and subtle makeup, making her the undisputed fashion winner.
When it comes to match-day fashion, no one does it quite like Anushka Sharma. The actress and producer arrived in Ahmedabad on May 3 to cheer on husband Virat Kohli during the IPL 2025 final, and all eyes weren't just on the cricket - they were on her.
As Royal Challengers Bengaluru took on Punjab Kings in a nail-biting clash, Anushka brought equal heat off the field with a look that redefined casual glam.
Ditching the usual fan jersey and going far beyond a basic tee, Anushka leaned into her signature mix of comfort and cool-girl chic. She showed up in an effortlessly stylish rhinestone denim outfit that perfectly matched the high-voltage energy of the finals. While the world watched to see which team would lift the trophy, Anushka quietly scored a fashion win of her own.
Her outfit was anchored in an oversized white cotton shirt, a wardrobe staple she gave a twist to with a casual half-tuck and rolled-up sleeves. It was breezy, unfussy, and ideal for a long night under stadium lights. But the real scene-stealer? Her rhinestone-embellished jeans that shimmered with every step she took. The blue denim was decorated with carefully scattered pearls and rhinestones, catching the light without going overboard.
The look was equal parts glam and grounded - just like Anushka herself.
The standout jeans, by the French label Sandro, retail at $308 (roughly ₹25,700) - not exactly cheap, but for sparkle and comfort like that, style enthusiasts might just be adding them to cart.

Keeping the rest of her look minimal yet polished, Anushka accessorised with a sleek gold wristwatch on one hand and stacked bangles on the other, striking the right balance between sporty and sophisticated. Her glam was refreshingly low-key: nude eyeshadow, fluttery lashes, softly blushed cheeks, and a muted nude lip. Her hair, parted down the centre and styled into soft waves - tied the entire look together in a way that was relaxed yet red-carpet ready.
Whether RCB takes the trophy home or not, one thing's for sure, Anushka Sharma is the undisputed winner of IPL 2025 fashion.

Forty seven people were injured in addition to the 11 who died in the incident that occurred during RCB's celebration after they won the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) the previous day in Ahmedabad. The franchise and the Karnataka state government have since come under fire. 'The unfortunate incident in Bengaluru yesterday has caused a lot of anguish and pain to the RCB family,' said RCB in a statement on Thursday. 'As a mark of respect and a gesture of solidarity, RCB has announced a financial support of INR 10 lakh to each of the eleven families of the deceased. In addition, a fund called RCB Cares is also being created to support fans injured in this tragic incident. Our fans will always remain at the heart of everything that we do. We remain united in grief.' RCB's victory on Tuesday was followed by hugely emotional scenes, with the team ending an 18-year wait for the title. However, there was uncertainty over whether there will be an open-top bus victory parade from the Vidhana Soudha to the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. The day began with the first official announcement at around 7 am about a victory parade on RCB's social media handles. 'RCB Victory Parade in Bengaluru. This one's for you, 12th Man Army. For every cheer, every tear, every year. Loyalty is Royalty and today, the crown is yours. More details soon,' the franchise said in a post on X from its official handle. The city traffic police then put out an advisory stating that there will be no parade. However, the franchise announced the parade again at 3.14pm. 'RCB Victory Parade: Today at 5 pm IST. Victory parade will be followed by celebrations at the Chinnaswamy stadium. We request all fans to follow guidelines set by police and other authorities, so that everyone can enjoy the roadshow peacefully. Free passes (limited entry) available on the website,' said RCB in a post on X. The traffic police then put out an advisory about a felicitation programme in the evening with no mention of any parade. But lakhs of fans assembled at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, and tried to get in, resulting in a stampede. RCB express anguish later in the evening and, along with the Karnataka State Cricket Association, announced an ex-gratia payment of Rs 5 lakh to the families of each of the deceased.
