Akansha Ranjan Kapoor made a striking appearance at a fashion event in Mumbai. The star looked radiant in a silver-grey ensemble that perfectly captured the spirit of the evening, which celebrated India’s finest designers, global collaborations and bold fashion narratives.
Akansha shared a reel from the a fashion gala, held at JW Marriott, Juhu recently, with the caption: “Got so delayed getting ready I missed the pre-event photos — so here’s my Vogue India Forces of Fashion 2025 look straight from the event.”
Her outfit choice left fans in awe. The actress wore a silver-grey maxi gown featuring a form-fitting, structured corset bodice that accentuated her silhouette. The gown’s halter neckline flowed into a plunging V cut, while the satin skirt featured ruched detailing, draped folds and gathered fabric at the hips that cascaded effortlessly to the floor.
She styled her hair in a soft wavy updo, leaving a few strands loose for a romantic, effortless effect. The makeup was kept elegant and glowing, with shimmery smokey eyes, subtle contour and a soft pink lip. Minimal diamond accessories, including a delicate bracelet and ring, completed her look, letting the gown remain the focal point.
