Our fashion fave Sonam Kapoor always keeps her Instagram feed lit with impeccable fits, mixing traditional Indian silhouettes with modern twists. But this time around, the lady stuck to straight desi vibes - and damn, she pulled it off flawlessly!
Ditching her fusion ways, Sonam wore a stunning anarkali crafted by renowned Pakistani designer Zara Shahjahan in her recent Instagram post. The pure white kurta featured gorgeous red floral embroidery and gold embellishments around the neck, totally elegant yet simple. Her choice of a classic striped silk dupatta in bright tangerine and cream hues made the look pop. Wrapped perfectly around her shoulders, it brought just the right splash of festive flavor.
Big props to Zara Shahjahan's impeccable design skills too. With intricate details and understated luxury, the Anarkali radiated class. Sonam totally did it justice by repping the Pakistani label worldwide. Her followers went crazy, as always, flooding the comments with love. Another flawless traditional moment from our Bollywood fashion fave, serving desi inspo this festive period. She looks amazeballs!
Styled by her sis Rhea and cousin Sanya, Sonam kept her accessories on the simpler side while still making a statement. She rocked a shiny red choker necklace and single gold pendant that popped against the all-white outfit. Gold studs in her ears pulled it all together perfectly.
Makeup-wise, Sonam went minimal with a classic red bindi, adding just the right hint of festive color. Slight kohl lining made her eyes stand out in a soft way too. Lips were left nude to let her natural beauty shine through. The makeup was enhanced without overwhelming her features. Overall, her styling balanced tradition and modernity with understated pieces. Letting the gorgeous Anarkali take center stage, Sonam worked minimal glam to frame her effortless desi vibes to a T. Another win!
This wasn't Sonam's first traditional winner either. For Ganesh Chaturthi festivities at Antilia, she wore a bomb red silk ghagra by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. The crushed silk fabric gave the outfit such a dope texture. Plus the backless blouse added a fun twist to the traditional lehenga.
Traditional jewels from Amrapali and haath phool by Aurus completed the desi vibes perfectly. Even her custom flats from Aprajita Toor kept it real without compromising on comfort. The whole fit exemplified how Sonam mixes heritage aesthetics with surprise elements. From crushed textures to unexpected silhouettes, she finds creative ways to celebrate Indian culture through fashion.
