The Pinkvilla Screen & Style Icons Awards 2025, held on March 27 at Mumbai’s JW Marriott in Juhu, turned the city into a glittering hub of Bollywood glamour. On a night dedicated to celebrating cinematic excellence and impeccable style, Bollywood’s brightest stars brought their A-game, transforming the red carpet into a runway of jaw-dropping fashion and unforgettable moments. Among the standout stunners were Rasha Thadani, Ananya Panday, and Rashmika Mandanna, who slayed with their looks and set social media ablaze. From Shahid Kapoor’s suave charm to Sushmita Sen’s timeless elegance, and the adorable chemistry of Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash, this star-studded evening was pure fire! Let’s dive into the dazzling details of the night that had everyone talking.
Rasha Thadani: The Gen-Z Style Icon
Rasha Thadani, the 20-year-old debutante who took Bollywood by storm with Azaad earlier this year, proved she’s here to stay—both on-screen and in the fashion game. Stepping onto the red carpet in a stunning black dress, Rasha radiated elegance and youthful energy. According to posts on X, she waved gracefully at the paparazzi, earning praise for her poised charm. Sources like Hindustan Times noted her standout look featured double-sided waist cutouts, mesh sleeves, and sequin embellishments—details that made her bodycon ensemble a head-turner. Fresh off her birthday bash earlier in March, where she rocked a Zara midi dress, Rasha’s black-themed consistency showcased her evolving style. Paired with her signature loose waves and minimal yet striking accessories, she defined Gen-Z glamour with a nod to classic Bollywood roots—thanks to mom Raveena Tandon’s influence.
Ananya Panday: Chic Vibes That Owned the Night
Ananya Panday, a perennial favorite at Pinkvilla’s style awards, once again claimed her crown as a fashion darling. Known for her win as the Most Stylish Performer of the Year in 2024, Ananya strutted into 2025 with a chic black body-hugging dress that screamed sophistication. As reported by Hindustan Times, her look featured sultry waist cutouts and a knotted bodice, with a thigh-high slit adding drama to the sleek silhouette. Golden hoops elevated the ensemble, keeping it bold yet minimal. Pinkvilla’s live updates highlighted her as one of the night’s stunners, and her rumored beau Walker Blanco’s rumored presence in the buzz only fueled the excitement. Ananya’s ability to blend trendy cuts with effortless poise solidified her as the night’s chic queen, leaving fans and fashion critics in awe.
Rashmika Mandanna: Glam Game on Full Blast
Rashmika Mandanna brought her South-meets-Bollywood charm to the Pinkvilla red carpet, turning heads in a strapless black jumpsuit that redefined glamour. According to IBTimes India, while some Redditors critiqued her choice as “dull” compared to her vibrant saree days, the majority couldn’t deny her chic energy. Hindustan Times described how she paired the jumpsuit with a dramatic gown-like train flowing from the waist, proving that jumpsuits can steal the spotlight just as fiercely as dresses. With her hair styled in loose waves and a bold makeup look featuring flushed cheeks and a striking lip, Rashmika’s glam game was undeniable. Hot off her recent success in Chhaava with Vicky Kaushal, she owned the night with a confidence that lit up Mumbai’s starry skyline.
Starry Highlights That Stole the Show
The night wasn’t just about Rasha, Ananya, and Rashmika—Bollywood’s elite turned out in full force. Shahid Kapoor, honoured as Performer of the Year by Sanjay Ghodawat Group (per Pinkvilla), looked impossibly dapper in a sheer black shirt and tailored pants, paired with a jacket that oozed sophistication. Sushmita Sen, the epitome of elegance, dazzled in a shimmery black gown with a corset bodice, sharing a warm hug with Akshay Kumar—who rocked a casual yet sharp black tee and trousers combo (Hindustan Times). Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash melted hearts with their couple goals, with Tejasswi bagging the Most Stylish TV Actor Female award, presented by Danube Properties (Pinkvilla). Kajol Devgan brought her vibrant energy in a standout look, while Disha Patani’s bejewelled silver corset and skirt combo balanced bold with classy. Arjun Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, and Veer Pahariya (whose viral ‘langdi’ dance step stole laughs) added to the night’s electric vibe.
