Karan Johar’s Traitors Wardrobe Turns Camp, Blood and Roses
Karan Johar hosts The Traitors and wears unusual costumes on the show.
His stylist, Eka Lakhani, designs clothes that help him look like a mysterious character.
One outfit has black fabric and roses to represent love and war.
Another outfit looks like it is covered in crow feathers.
He also wears a white robe splashed with red to match an episode involving a murder.
The clothes are planned to fit the story and mood of each episode.
Some viewers may love the dramatic outfits, while others may dislike them.
Karan and Eka have worked together on films and fashion for several years.
Stylist Eka Lakhani created Karan Johar’s theatrical wardrobe for season two of The Traitors.
The looks include a black robe with roses, a crow-feather cape, and a blood-splattered white robe.
Lakhani said the costumes reflect each episode’s setting, task, and storyline.
Johar’s Traitors persona is intentionally darker and less playful than his usual public image.
Lakhani and Johar have collaborated on films, public appearances, and major events including the Met Gala.

Quotes
Eka Lakhani
Stylist who created Karan Johar’s costumes for The Traitors
“We wanted to keep the opening episode somewhere in the ‘love and war’ space. Which is why you see him with a black robe with roses on it. That’s when we introduced his cat, Boo. I don’t know if you noticed it, but when Boo is introduced, he has a collar with a rose on it. In that episode, we see his second change where all his roses are gone, and he’s just kept one big rose with him. So, we tried to keep the story going for that episode.”

“Eka’s skills as a stylist and curation of fashion is truly admirable. She has an old-world charm about how she approaches a garment.”
