At The Ba***ds of Bollywood premiere last night, the red carpet not only carried the weight of a legacy name but also marked a new creative chapter. From archival runway pieces to custom sequins, the city’s most recognisable names showed up for Aryan Khan’s directorial debut. Below is a look at what your favourite celebrities wore to the premiere.
Black and yellow set the tone for the Khan family. Suhana Khan stood out in a molten yellow Versace Medusa ’95 draped gown, styled by Ami Patel, its bodycon silhouette flaring into a fluid, ruched drape with a thigh-high slit. Her gold cuff, strappy heels and cocktail ring mirrored the gleaming accents, while soft waves and warm-toned makeup offset the metallics. Gauri Khan wore a black dress with a plunging neckline, punctuated by cascading ruffles at the bust, anchored by a Bvlgari Serpenti necklace. The men—Shah Rukh Khan, Aryan Khan and AbRam Khan—chose black-on-black separates: tees layered under dark jackets, with Shah Rukh’s custom jacket featuring ‘Ba***ds’ embroidered in yellow.
The Ambanis brought high-wattage glamour, with Nita Ambani opting for a mint-blue tissue silk organza sari with a rhinestone-studded border. What really caught the eye was her double-layered diamond necklace crowned with a turquoise floral pendant. Radhika Merchant Ambani picked a scarlet silk Maria Lucia Hohan corseted gown with a plunging neckline and gathers that drew the eyes towards the centre slit. She paired it with a matching Hermès Kelly bag and gold Dolce & Gabbana knotted sandals. Shloka Mehta Ambani, styled by Niriksha, wore a bow-detailed lace bustier gown by Giambattista Valli, a sheer embroidered bodice blooming into billowing layers of tulle. Her diamond zig-zag choker, butterfly minaudière and tennis bracelet stack dialled up the sparkle. Aakash Ambani followed in a black velvet suit while Mukesh Ambani chose deep navy with a blush-pink shirt.
Isha Ambani went romantic in a floor-length lace dress with concentric semi-circular ruffles by Georgia Hardinge. Grounding her look were burgundy organza-trimmed pumps by Gianvito Rossi and statement pastel pink floral studs. Beside her, Navya Naveli Nanda offered a sharp contrast in a scarlet power suit—minimal yet impactful—paired with black pumps, a gold collar necklace and soft, side-swept hair.
Alia Bhatt channelled vintage glamour in an archival Gucci by Tom Ford fall/winter 1996 slip dress, styled by Rhea Kapoor. The ivory gown featured side cut-outs, a gold-buckle belt and a white Gucci Bamboo 1947 bag. Bronzed skin, a sleek bun and minimal gold jewellery from Tiffany & Co completed her look. Ranbir Kapoor complemented her in a crisp white jacket, with gold buttons at the cuff and black trousers.
Kajol arrived in a two-tone Safiyaa dress—its inky black corseted bodice leading to a voluminous electric-blue draped skirt. The high neckline was adorned with a diamond collar and floral diamond drop earrings. Crystal-studded heels added some liquid sparkle, while her makeup kept the palette fresh. Ajay Devgn went the unfussy route in an all-black suit, matching pants and a tee.
Madhuri Dixit Nene stole the spotlight with the Parsi gara embroidery on her black sari gown by Ashdeen. Stylist Sukriti Grover chose a strapless column with a pallu that featured rainbow-hued floral threadwork against a midnight base. Black slingback heels, stacked rings and diamond drop earrings amplified Grover’s heritage mood, while her side-parted hair, pinned at the back tied the look together.
Never one to shy from spectacle, Karan Johar arrived in a silver reflective suit with a woven-grain texture, paired with a white shirt and a diamond cross pendant—a wink to ’70s disco-glam nostalgia.
Ananya Panday’s Self-Portrait floor-length dress was doused with a rhinestone shimmer: an ecru mesh—entirely embellished with stones—with an asymmetrical lace-trimmed bodice and slit, and paired with Aquazzura Temptation Crystal stilettos. Styled by Ami Patel, the actor wore fresh, dewy makeup and diamond drop earrings that highlighted her fresh-off-vacation tan.
Mira Kapoor, true to her minimalistic style, came in a body-hugging ribbed black dress by Tressé, cut along the décolletage and waist, with flat silver beading stitched into the opening. Accessories stayed lean: black pumps, a Chanel chain-handle bag, gold drop earrings and her engagement ring.
Tamannaah Bhatia chose a futuristic silver-panelled Stargaze gown by Galvan London, with sequinned panels lining her silhouette both horizontally across the bust and vertically down the skirt. Side-parted voluminous waves framed a bare neckline and softly defined eyes. Jet-black Christian Louboutin Hot Chick slingbacks kept the look sharp.
Bhumi Pednekar tapped into the sensual power dressing trend with a crisp white shirt layered under a jet-black lace-up corset, cinched to accentuate the waist and set over a floor-length black column skirt. The corset’s boning and sheer lace introduced contrast and a hint of old-world hauteur, finished with a multistranded pearl choker with a round pendant. Sculpted brows and nude lips kept the look polished; a quilted silver chain Chanel bag added a metallic accent.
Khushi Kapoor arrived in a custom Gaurav Gupta mini with metallic ripples. Its intricate beadwork and crystal mesh caught the light with every movement. Christian Louboutin Rosalie Strass sandals and Kapoor’s diamond bijoux extended the dress’s shimmer. Centre-parted hair and blush-toned makeup completed the look.
Shibani Akhtar exuded effortless chic in a black oversized suit layered over a white satin lace camisole, paired with slouchy trousers that pooled at the ankles for a relaxed yet tailored feel. Accessories included a low-waisted snake-print belt, a structured black clutch and layered gem-studded neckpieces that glinted against the warm colour palette. Centre-parted, bouncy waves framed her face, complementing the understated glamour of her look. Beside her, Farhan Akhtar opted for a chocolate brown suit, pairing it with a crisp white tee and white sneakers for a sleek, preppy edge.
Jewel tones took the lead as Shanaya Kapoor attended in a corseted emerald gown by Georges Hobeika from the spring/summer 2025 couture collection. The sculpted satin bodice was cut sharply at the bust, slipping into a skirt drenched with shimmering green paillettes that rippled with every movement. A bejewelled cross pendant added a dash of iconography, while green strappy heels dialled up the verdant vibe.
