Janhvi Kapoor's Latest Look Pays A Heartfelt Tribute To Her Late Mother Sridevi
Last Updated: For the theatrical re-release of Sridevi's 1990 Telugu film - Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari, Janhvi Kapoor paid a tribute to her mother in a denim jacket. Janhvi Kapoor never shies away from delivering a fashion moment. While the actor always stuns in haute couture pieces, she never shies away from having fun when it comes to fashion. She recently paid a heartfelt tribute to her late mother Sridevi in a custom denim jacket that was inspired by Sridevi's 1990 Telugu film Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari. Taking to her Instagram, Janhvi Kapoor shared a series of pictures of herself flaunting her denim jacket. She wrote, 'Obsessed with this jacket!!!! Obsessssssssed with this movie!!!! I had the pleasure of rewatching the rereleased print a couple of days back and was reminded of the magic created by the whole team. Mumma is like an angel fairy princess, and so funny and so cute. @chiranjeevikonidela sir and his inimitable humour, bravado and swagger, and both of them together. Raghavendra Sir's vision. Amrish Puri sir. The music, sets, costumes, and story!!! All the actors!!!!! The revival of this new print couldn't have been executed by more able hands, and is a gift to cinema lovers today. It felt like a visual spectacle that would give our contemporary films a run for their money. Thank you for this @swapnaduttchalasani @vyjayanthimovies @nag_ashwin. Cinema at its peak. #JVAS #jagadeekaveeruduatilokasundari." Take a closer look at Janhvi's jacket here. Embracing the emotion with style, Janhvi turned to high-street fashion for her latest appearance, but all eyes were on her standout retro-inspired denim jacket. Cut in a relaxed, oversized silhouette and left unbuttoned at the front, the jacket's true statement came from the back – featuring portrait-style images of cinematic legends Sridevi, Amrish Puri, and Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi, paying tribute to their roles in the 1990 cult hit. She kept the rest of her look minimal yet cool, pairing the statement jacket with a simple white crop top and sleek black denim jeans. Keeping the spotlight firmly on the jacket, she opted out of accessories. For the glam, she struck the perfect balance – dewy, radiant skin paired with a soft berry blush on the cheeks, and a peach-toned matte lipstick lending a subtle, natural finish. For the eyes, she kept things clean and fresh, just curled lashes coated with mascara. Defined brows and softly tousled waves left open completed the look. With the theatrical re-release of Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari, Janhvi had the rare chance to relive her mother Sridevi's iconic performance on the big screen.
