Janhvi Kapoor’s Paris Fashion Week has turned into a run of strong looks, and her Miu Miu SS27 outing may be the most wearable of them. For Miu Miu’s spring-summer 2027 show in Paris on Sunday, the actor wore a retro knit outfit styled by her cousin Rhea Kapoor: a patterned blue knit top, a matching multi-tone knit mini skirt, a plush brown zip-up jacket with patterned knit sleeves, tall lace-up boots and oversized tinted sunglasses. Hindustan Times called her “a front-row fixture” for the label, and Free Press Journal said the look “leaned into the label’s retro, preppy spirit.” For Cover Issue’s style desk on Monday 5 October IST, Janhvi Kapoor at Miu Miu SS27 is the Bollywood style moment of the morning, and an easy one to copy for autumn.
Janhvi Kapoor’s Miu Miu look, piece by piece
Free Press Journal’s Aanchal Chaudhary, writing on 5 October, says the outfit was “built from the inside out.” It starts with a fitted sleeveless blue knit top with horizontal and geometric patterns in white and red, which adds a bright graphic element to an otherwise earthy palette.
Next comes a matching knit mini skirt in brown, cream, green and muted red. Chaudhary says the multi-tone pattern gives the outfit “a distinctly retro, Nordic-inspired feel,” and the short length keeps it youthful.
The jacket provides the texture. Free Press Journal describes a cropped brown textured jacket, worn with the zip slightly open so the blue top shows. Its long sleeves echo the skirt’s pattern, and it has a soft, plush finish, a rounded collar, a front zip and a ribbed hem. Hindustan Times’ Krishna Priya Pallavi describes the look as fall-ready, with Rhea Kapoor dressing the actor in “fur and wool” and the pieces in the season’s browns, oranges, greens, yellows and beiges.
The boots ground the look. Free Press Journal reports tall lace-up boots that stop just below the knee, with a structured, rugged finish that offsets the soft knits and mini length. In the photographs on our cover, they are dark, knee-high lace-ups with a chunky sole.
Accessories were kept coordinated. Free Press Journal notes oversized brown-tinted sunglasses and a compact dark-brown handbag. Hindustan Times adds a Miu Miu mini bag, gold statement rings, hoop earrings and brown vintage-style sunglasses.
Hair and makeup: soft glam
Both outlets describe the beauty as understated. Free Press Journal reports defined eyes, softly sculpted features and a muted rosy-nude lip, with long dark hair left loose in voluminous waves. Hindustan Times describes a blowout framing her face, mascara-coated lashes, rouged cheeks, a glossy mauve lip, matching eyeshadow and feathered brows. Either way, the makeup is there to support a busy, patterned outfit, not compete with it.
Why the outfit fits Miu Miu SS27
The look suits the show Janhvi was attending. In the WWD review, Miuccia Prada said she wanted “to bring elegance to sports.” The Miu Miu SS27 runway mixed checked wool, boyish blazers, warm-up jackets and retro knits with crystal-covered sports bras, and Dazed described the models as “sporty librarians.” Neither outlet identifies her pieces as SS27 runway looks, but her retro knits, layered textures and sturdy boots share the show’s preppy-meets-sporty attitude. It’s the kind of styling that shows a brand relationship without simply copying the runway.
The show also had a lot of star power. Olivia Colman, Emma Corrin, Jamie Bell and Gigi Hadid all walked, which Cover Issue covers separately on the culture desk. Janhvi’s look is one of the easiest from the show to translate into an Indian autumn wardrobe.
Janhvi’s other Paris looks
Miu Miu was not her only Paris outing. Hindustan Times reports another look in the city: a lavender-and-beige peplum jacket with a fur-trimmed collar, embroidery on the chest and jewelled buttons, worn with a sheer lavender lace fit-and-flare midi skirt over silk shorts, kitten heels, a mini bag and sunglasses. Free Press Journal notes that before Miu Miu, she made her BoF 500 Gala debut in an off-white saree, which is a very different mood from the cosy knits she wore for Miu Miu.
How to wear Janhvi Kapoor’s Miu Miu look
The knit set: a matching pattern top and mini skirt is the base. If a mini doesn’t suit your day, try a knit midi in the same pattern, or a plain skirt with a patterned top.
The texture jacket: a cropped brown teddy, faux-shearling or plush bomber, left half-unzipped, gives the most Paris-ready effect.
The boot: knee-high lace-up boots make knitwear feel tougher. A chunky lace-up ankle boot with tights works too.
Retro sunnies: oversized tinted frames in brown or amber are the quickest 1970s touch.
Keep the bag small and brown: one compact leather bag in the jacket’s colour family keeps the outfit tidy.
Soft glam: defined eyes, a rosy-nude or mauve gloss, and big loose waves. Skip a bold lip with this much pattern.
The Indian autumn edit
For Indian weather, the look works best in the evening or in hill-station cold. Swap the plush jacket for a light suede or corduroy bomber, try a cotton-blend knit skirt, and save the knee-high boots for cooler months. The colour story of chocolate, rust, moss and cream is an easy festive-season alternative to jewel tones, and it photographs well, as the Paris pictures show.
Janhvi Kapoor’s Miu Miu SS27 look confirms what Hindustan Times called her front-row status with the label, and it gives fans a clear outfit to copy: patterned knits, a textured jacket and tough boots, worn with confidence.
