Karan Johar, known for his impeccable fashion choices, once again grabbed the spotlight at a recent luxury skincare and haircare brand event in Mumbai. The director and producer made heads turn with an extraordinary choice of accessory—an expensive braided tie made of real hair, worth around Rs 2 lakh. The unique tie was the talk of the event, which was organized for the launch of Reliance’s new premium skincare and haircare brand, Augustinus Bader.
A Tie Unlike Any Other
Karan Johar’s latest look came as a big surprise, even to those familiar with his bold fashion statements. While his beige suit and white shirt from the fashion label Crestelli looked sharp, the real show-stealer was the unconventional tie. Instead of a regular tie, Karan opted for a blonde braided hair tie from Schiaparelli, a luxury fashion brand known for its creative pieces. The tie belongs to their Autumn-Winter 2024 collection, which debuted at the Paris Ready-to-Wear Fashion Week. On closer inspection, fans were stunned to discover that the tie was made from real hair, giving it a unique and daring appeal.
The price? A jaw-dropping 2,100 Euros, or around Rs 1.93 lakh in Indian currency.
The Eye-Catching Brooch
The surprises didn’t stop there. Along with the eye-catching tie, Karan’s outfit was adorned with a brooch that had everyone talking. The brooch, shaped like an eye, drew comparisons to the popular “Bigg Boss” logo due to its striking resemblance. Made by Schiaparelli as well, the brooch, named the Evil Eye, is set with diamonds and pearls, adding to the extravagant flair. Its cost? Another Rs 1.52 lakh, according to the brand’s official website.
Finishing Touches to the Look
To complement his dramatic tie and brooch, Karan accessorized with a brown Hermes bag, adding another layer of luxury to his outfit. His look was further elevated by brown leather shoes and square-shaped glasses with an animal-print frame. Styled by celebrity stylist Eka Lakhani, Karan’s outfit balanced creativity with elegance.
Social Media Buzz: Mixed Reactions
As soon as Karan shared pictures of his look on Instagram, social media buzzed with reactions. While many fans praised his bold fashion choices, others were left puzzled by the unusual tie. Comments ranged from admiration of his creativity to playful jokes comparing the braid to a “witch’s braid” or “grandmother’s old plait.”
Despite the mixed reviews, it’s clear that Karan Johar knows how to keep the fashion world talking. His fearless approach to style makes him stand out, ensuring that whether people love or hate his outfits, they’ll always be watching.
