Kiara Advani Returns to Spotlight With First Vogue Shoot After Motherhood

Kiara Advani has stepped into a beautiful new phase of life both personally and professionally. After welcoming her baby girl, Saraayah Malhotra, the actor has returned to the spotlight with her first photoshoot since becoming a mother. She appears as the January cover star of Vogue India marking a meaningful moment in her journey.

The Vogue India Instagram post describes Kiara’s return as more than just a fashion feature. In the cover images, Kiara wears a hand-embroidered jacket, skirt, and corset designed by Anamika Khanna. The look is elegant yet bold. The structured corset creates a strong silhouette, while the soft layers and fine embroidery add a gentle, artistic touch. The outfit feels classic and modern at once, giving the appearance of a European royal with a contemporary spirit. She completes the look with earrings from Amrapali Jewels.

The shoot brings together a strong creative team. The editorial content is led by Rochelle Pinto. The photographs are captured by Yung Hua Chen. Styling is done by Samar Rajput, while the story is written by Meghna Pant. Hair styling is by Sonam Solanki, with Feat Artists handling agency support. Makeup is done by Sandhya Shekar, and manicure by Manali Panchal. Aliza Fatma worked as the bookings editor, and Megha Mehta served as the entertainment director. Rebecca Gonsalves contributed as senior entertainment editor consultant. The production is handled by Imran Khatri Productions. Beauty partner for the shoot is Tira.

In her conversation with Vogue, Kiara opens up about how motherhood has changed her way of thinking. She shares that while many people relax through rest or hobbies, for her, true peace comes from hearing her daughter laugh or sleep. These small moments have shifted how she sees time and success.

She also talked about on how her relationship with her body has changed. After intense physical training for earlier film roles, she once believed she needed to return to a certain shape. But after becoming a mother, she realised that creating life is far more important than chasing physical ideals. Today, she respects her body for what it has done, not just how it looks.
