Khushi Kapoor gave us a head-to-toe Dior wardrobe moment in her glittering sweater and stonewashed denim pants look. The styling seems like a modern homage to 18th-century rococo and noughties style, filtered through Jonathan Anderson’s current lens for the brand. That historical reference feels particularly apt for the French luxury house right now, with Anderson bringing its ornate salon heritage into a contemporary wardrobe. Kapoor’s look leans into that reference, rejigged with the sensibilities of daytime dressing: think sequins and stonewashed denim sharing the same frame, proving that shimmer no longer waits for sundown.

The noughties revival has brought peplums back into the fashion conversation, but Kapoor’s take is of-the-moment. The star wore a black sequinned peplum sweater from Dior’s Autumn/Winter 2026 show. Cut in the traditional peplum style that cinches at the waist before flaring gently over the hips, the sweater balances a fitted upper half with a soft, sculptural volume below. The addition of a silver-finish Dior Médaillon button to the neckline brings an ornate touch. Kapoor moved away from wearing the look in an overtly feminine style, swapping the matching skirt with stonewashed denim pants. The contrast is what gives the look its contemporary appeal: a highly polished, light-catching knit set against the familiarity of a classic pair of jeans. With its relaxed fit and washed finish, the denim tempers the occasion-ready quality of the sweater and highlights its versatility.
She carried the Small Dior Toujours Hobo Bag in khaki cannage that adds to the ’90s appeal of look with its curved, sculptural silhouette and volume. Kapoor kept the rest of the styling pared back. She chose nothing but a pair of diamond studs to accessorise. Her hair was left open in soft curls. For glam, she went with peach-toned eyeshadow, blush and lipstick for a fresh and clean look. From the sweater and jeans to her neutral-toned bag and jewellery, this look makes for a total multi-hyphenate: a lunch date one day, a night out with friends the next, even a festive occasion styled with traditional wear.
