Karan Johar was among a star-studded list of attendees at the launch of luxury skincare and haircare brand Augustinus Bader in Mumbai on Monday. The filmmaker, known for his love of fashionable, quirky things, wore a beige suit for the event. However, his choice of accessories, especially a blonde braided-hair tie, stole the show.

Karan wears infamous Schiaparelli braided-hair tie

Karan attended the Augustinus Bader launch event in a beige suit from Label Crestelli. The surreal Schiaparelli braided-hair tie he wore with the ensemble is from the luxury fashion house's Autumn-Winter 2024 collection showcased at the Paris Ready-to-Wear Fashion Week. Made out of braids of actual hair in shades of blonde, the accessory had sent the fashion world into a frenzy when it was introduced on the runway.

What is the price of the braided-hair tie?

At first glimpse, the Schiaparelli Trompe L'oeil Cowboy tie looks like a regular necktie, the kind typically worn to the office. However, it is made from a thick chunk of braided hair fastened to the collar. According to the fashion house's official website, the accessory is worth 2,100 Euros, which is approximately ₹1,93,685.

Apart from the blonde braided-hair tie, Karan styled the outfit with a tan jumbo Hermes bag, matching heeled dress shoes, nerdy Lennon-style glasses, and an embellished eye brooch by Schiaparelli.
