Kiara Advani and Karan Johar walked the ramp for designer Rahul Mishra on June 17. The duo wore all-black looks designed by the couturier for a Mercedes car launch event. Let’s decode their looks:
What did Kiara Advani wear?
Rahul Mishra dressed Kiara Advani in a black, floor-length gown from her collection, styled by celebrity stylist Lakshmi Lehr and Kashish Gaur. Kiara’s makeup was done by Lekha Gupta, while her tresses were styled by Nikita Menon. The actor accessorised her look with earrings from Mahesh Notandass, and the handstack is from Studio Renn.
Kiara’s Rahul Mishra gown is an off-the-shoulder ensemble featuring a plunging, sweetheart neckline elevated by a corseted bodice that perfectly hugs her frame like a second skin. The corset is attached to an exaggerated waist belt decked in shimmering sequins, accentuating her svelte frame.
The highlight of the ensemble has to be the skirt with a voluminous silhouette, pleated design, and a balloon-style fit cinched at the ankles. The train at the back adds a regal touch to her look, while the hand-painted designs – inspired by nature, including colourful florals and The Starry Night painting by Vincent van Gogh – elevated the ensemble.
Kiara accessorised the ensemble with glittering diamond earrings, statement diamond cocktail rings, and diamond-encrusted bracelets. A pair of embellished black stilettos stole the show. Lastly, she styled her tresses in a side parting and wavy, blowout curls, with her makeup rounded off with kohl-lined eyes, smoky eye shadow, mascara-coated lashes, feathered brows, and nude lip shade.
Karan Johar turns showstopper
As for Karan, he walked the ramp alongside Kiara Advani in a black suit designed by Rahul Mishra. The ensemble features a black blazer adorned with glittering sequin embellishments arranged in a wavy pattern, creating the illusion of a sea, and a starfish-shaped brooch on the lapel.
He paired the look with a matching black shirt with raised collars and an interesting front closure. He paired the blouse with black tapered pants featuring a skimming fit on the hem. A diamond choker necklace, black dress boots, stylish vintage sunglasses, a clean-shaven look, and a backswept hairdo rounded off his look.
On the work front
On the work front, Kiara will next be seen in Toxic alongside Yash. Director Geetu Mohandas, who has cast her as Nadia, recently revealed that Kiara was her first and only choice for the role, praising her for bringing both fragility and strength to the character.
She also has Vvan with Sidharth in the pipeline, a folklore-inspired thriller. Initially slated for May 15, the film has now been rescheduled to release on August 28, 2026, on Raksha Bandhan.
