A dagger emoji is the easiest shorthand for what Traitors Season 2 trades in, suspicion sharpened into spectacle. But the more interesting cut is sartorial. In new promotional visuals, Karan Johar leans into the show’s game of misdirection with two sharply contrasted looks, one in electric blue from Helen Anthony, the other a custom creation by Bloni Atelier, all styled by Eka Lakhani and photographed by Sheldon Santos with credits also naming Vaibhav Manjrekar.
Traitors Season 2, now streaming on Prime Video, gets a wardrobe with teeth
The caption attached to the images is blunt about the assignment: “Treacherous Traitors.” The clothes follow through. Johar’s styling is built to read at camera distance. The electric blue look, credited to Helen Anthony, is a statement of saturation, a colour decision that does the narrative work of a spotlight. The second look is credited as custom by Bloni Atelier, which signals something else entirely: not a pulled-from-the-rails wardrobe moment, but an image engineered for this exact role and this exact frame.
Prime Video is the stated home for the series, with the post pointing viewers to the platform as the exclusive streamer. You can find the platform and current availability through Prime Video.
The electric blue Helen Anthony look: colour as confrontation
There is a particular type of onscreen hosting that relies on a neutral uniform, black suit, familiar shirt, predictable polish. Johar’s Traitors Season 2 imagery takes the opposite route. Electric blue does not behave like a background shade. Under studio lighting it turns into a hard block of pigment, the fastest way to pull the eye toward the person holding the room.
Helen Anthony, the label tagged for Look 1, has long built its identity around tailoring with a taste for drama. Even without runway notes in the caption, the choice sits neatly inside that universe: a formal silhouette pushed by colour into something closer to provocation than mere eveningwear.
A custom Bloni Atelier look, and what “custom” signals on a show like this
Custom, when it is used honestly, is a production decision as much as a fashion one. It means fitting schedules, approvals, and a garment that can be engineered for movement, posture, and the way a host’s body reads on camera. The caption credits Look 2 as custom by Bloni Atelier, and that word matters. It suggests the wardrobe is being treated as part of the show’s architecture, not an afterthought.
In a format built on deception, clothing becomes one more clue that can be planted or erased. A lapel that catches a highlight, a proportion that changes how broad a shoulder appears, a finish that photographs either velvety or glassy depending on the angle, these are choices that steer perception without ever announcing themselves.
The image makers behind the mood
The team list is explicit: styled by Eka Lakhani; shot by Sheldon Santos; and credit also given to Vaibhav Manjrekar. It reads like a fashion editorial crew dropped into entertainment promotion, which is often where the best celebrity imagery now lives: between narrative and gloss, between the show’s promise and the audience’s appetite for detail.
If you have been tracking how Indian celebrity style has become more collaborative and more credit-forward, this is part of the same shift. The names are not tucked away. They are placed front and centre, as integral to the final image as the host himself.
As for Traitors Season 2, the wardrobe strategy is clear even from a thin caption and a handful of tags: make the host look like the most dangerous person in the room, then let the players worry about everyone else.
