Janhvi Kapoor Brings Vintage Glam To Umrao Jaan Re-release Event In An Embroidered Anarkali
When Janhvi Kapoor takes the ethnic route, we simply stop, stare and take notes. On Thursday, June 26, 2025, the actor stepped out in Mumbai to attend the re-release premiere of Muzaffar Ali's 1981 film Umrao Jaan. The musical drama featured veteran star Rekha as the titular courtesan and poet. Through her gorgeous outfit, Janhvi paid tribute to the cinema legend and her pedamma in the best way possible.
She also shared a reel from a photoshoot on her Instagram account, captioning it as, "For my Pedamma # UmraoJaan the classic, in theatres all over India from tomorrow."

For the event, Janhvi Kapoor slipped into a stunning white embroidered anarkali suit, emulating the movie's iconic character in terms of grace and elegance. The flowy silhouette came with a plunging sweetheart neckline.
Intricate floral, beaded and mirror work dominated the ankle-grazing enthnic ensemble. Delicate borders at the hem added charm to her outfit.
Janhvi complemented her vintage wardrobe pick with an ornately decorated dupatta, which was styled like a boho-traditional jacket. The beige-coloured dupatta bore similar hand-woven designs and patterns echoing the grandeur and opulence that are hallmarks of Umrao Jaan, the film.

The Param Sundari actress is turning out to be quite an expert in the art of fusion wear.
In terms of accessories, Janhvi kept the look simple, so as to not steal the spotlight away from her dreamy anarkali. She opted for a pair of gold jhumkas, a statement diamond ring and a delicate nose ring.
Her makeup was also in line with her overall look. She went with a dewy-glam base, with just enough blush on her cheeks with a dab of highlighter for a shimmery effect.
Janhvi chose a peach-tint for her lips adding a pop of colour to her all-white ethereal ensemble and completed her look with kohl-rimmed eyes, mascara and a glittery pink eyeshadow.

Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sanchez Are Now Married. See First Pic Of Newlyweds
Venice: Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot Friday at a sumptuous ceremony with the rich and famous on an island in Venice's lagoon, out of the sight and sound of protesters. "This city seems impossible! It can't exist and yet, here it is!" an enchanted Bezos told a La Repubblica journalist Thursday who got close to the magnate as he whizzed around the canals by boat. But protesters had a different view, wondering how long Venice can endure: While the billionaires party, activists say the fragile city is sinking, overrun by tourists, and a victim of depopulation as locals unable to pay soaring rents are forced out. "No Kings, No Bezos" read a sign in green neon projected on the St Mark's Campanile tower on Thursday night. - Serenaded - Sanchez late Friday posted a photo on Instagram -- under a new name, laurensanchezbezos -- showing her in a long flowing white dress and him in black tie, though it did not provide any indication where it was taken. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lauren Sánchez Bezos (@laurensanchezbezos) Bezos and Sanchez, a former news anchor and entertainment reporter, celebrated their nuptials with guests including Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom. The tech magnate, 61, and Sanchez, 55, are staying at the Aman hotel, a luxury 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal with a view of the Rialto bridge. Other A-list guests are staying at the Gritti Palace and the St. Regis. The couple exchanged vows at a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore Friday afternoon, according to Italian media reports. The wedding is thought to have taken place in a vast open-air amphitheatre on the island, which sits across from Venice's iconic St Mark's Square. The newlyweds were to be serenaded by Matteo Bocelli, son of the famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli, reports said. Michelin-starred chef Fabrizio Mellino prepared the wedding dinner, while the cake has been made by French pastry chef Cedric Grolet, the Corriere della Sera said. Sanchez is alleged to have prepared 27 outfits to wear during the festivities. - 'Enchanted' - Wedding guests snapped by paparazzi as they hopped into boats included Jordan's Queen Rania, French luxury goods executive Francois-Henri Pinault, American football player Tom Brady, US fashion designer Spencer Antle, the singer Usher, and Ivanka Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner. The guests reportedly lunched Thursday in the gardens of Villa Baslini, on the islet of San Giovanni Evangelista. The celebrations are set to end Saturday with a party likely at the Arsenale, a vast shipyard complex dating back to when the city was a naval powerhouse. Bezos and Sanchez are donating three million euros ($3.5 million) to the city, according to Veneto's regional president Luca Zaia, and are employing historic Venetian artisans. Venice's oldest pastry maker Rosa Salva is baking 19th-century "fishermen's biscuits" for party bags that will also contain something by Laguna B, renowned for its handblown Murano glass. Trump and her family visited a glass-blowing workshop on the small island of Murano on Wednesday, according to the owner. "They were amazed and enchanted by the magic of glass," Massimiliano Schiavon told the Corriere della Sera, adding that the family had a go at blowing glass. Venice, home to the oldest film festival in the world, is used to VIPs whizzing around in speed boats, and happily hosted the star-studded nuptials of Hollywood actor George Clooney in 2014. Some say this wedding too brings good business. Italy's tourism ministry said Friday it expected the wedding to bring the city nearly one billion euros, with about 895 million of that estimated to come from the "media visibility" generated. But critics say Bezos, one of the world's richest men and founder of a company regularly scrutinised for how it treats its workers, is different. "Tax Billionaires", read protest signs along canals. "In the time it takes you to read this, Jeff Bezos's wealth has increased by more than your monthly salary", they read in English and Italian. Environmental activists have also pointed to the carbon footprint of the mega yachts and dozens of private jets -- at least 95 -- bringing the rich and famous to the city. But Samuel Silvestri, a 55-year-old salesman, welcomed the extravaganza. "Over-tourism is caused by those people who come with a backpack and their own food, and contribute very little," he said, "not those who transform Venice into a mini-Monte Carlo. This marriage helps the image of the city." Italy's health ministry has issued a red heat alert for Venice for the weekend, part of a heatwave affecting much of southern Europe.

‘Evokes a moment': Lauren Sanchez opens up about lavish dress for wedding to Jeff Bezos
Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos tied the knot in Venice on Friday in a lavish, star-studded affair. The 55-year-old helicopter pilot shared the first photo from the Italian wedding on Instagram, offering a glimpse of her elegant Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown. Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos at their wedding ceremony(Instagram) Sánchez walked down the aisle in a custom lace, long-sleeved dress featuring a high turtleneck, corseted waist, and delicate buttons trailing from the neckline all the way to the floor. She completed the look with Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings, each featuring four diamonds cut from a single stone and set in white gold. She wore her hair pulled back into a sleek bun. Speaking to Vogue, Sánchez revealed that her bridal look was inspired by the high-necked lace gown worn by Sophia Loren in the 1958 film Houseboat, in which Loren's character marries Cary Grant. 'It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment,' and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,' Sánchez told the magazine. 'I researched pictures of brides in the 1950s,' she added. 'I wanted to reflect back, and I saw Sophia Loren and her hands were [in a prayer position] and she was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, 'That's it. That's the dress.'' Jeff Bezos opted for a classic black tuxedo for the occasion. The couple, who began dating in 2019, got engaged in 2023. According to Page Six, he proposed to her with a massive engagement ring estimated to be worth $2.5 million. Their three-day wedding celebration began Thursday on the Venetian island of San Giorgio Maggiore, with approximately 200 guests in attendance.

Other notable guests included Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Bill Gates, and Ivanka Trump with Jared Kushner and their children.
