From Proenza Schouler to Zimmerman, from Nikasha to Delpozo — 2016 was another winning year for the fashion-forward Sonam Kapoor. With sis Rhea Kapoor by her side and make-up expert Namrata Soni’s able hands and her own flirtation with the rarefied world of haute couture — she’s easily the most powerful clotheshorse in the country today. Here’s looking at some of her noteworthy looks of the year....
Metallic mayhem
Sonam Kapoor shines bright in this metallic Rimzim Dadu sari in the Cannes sun. Side-parted sleek hair and pink lips help the blue of the sari stand out more.
Proenza muse
Sonam looks every bit the red carpet glamazon in this Proenza Schouler outfit with strappy detailing. The hair and make-up is beyond perfection and the black choker and the necklace perfectly complement the monochrome ensemble.
Princess in Delpozo
Experimenting with new label is nothing new to Miss Kapoor. She channels her inner princess in this dreamy and ethereal Delpozo outfit. The gold-and-white combo works wonderfully with her classic make-up.
Cape crusader
Eclipsing everyone else on the Cannes red carpet is nothing new to the stylista and she towers over everyone else in this dramatic Ralph and Russo gown, which had a cape detailing yet again. She looks every bit the modern-day style royalty.
The way forward
Terence feels the dance reality shows have raised the bar, “Today’s contestants from dance shows on television will rewrite Bollywood choreography going forward.”
Halter haute-ness
Yet another Cinderella moment! Sonam looks charming straight out of a fairy-tale in this sheer, dotted Zimmerman outfit. Hoop earrings add to the whimsical finish. We’re speechless!
Pantsuit pro
No one rocks a well-cut pantsuit better than her chicness Sonam Kapoor. She looks every bit the femme fatale in this Versace suit with vibrant prints. A black clutch, neck choker and center-parted sleek hair add to the cool finish.
Casual chic
Sonam and sis Rhea have excellent taste and this blue Roksanda Illincic dress with yellow accents on the sleeves proves that. She matches the yellow of her sleeves with the yellow heels.
Sexy in Nikasha
Sari, as they say, is the purest form of couture dress and no one does justice to this pure-yet-sensuous garment better than stylissma Sonam Kapoor. The cold shoulder blouse is tres hot and the choker adds to the on-trend finish.
Slaying it in Anamika Khanna
Sonam Kapoor and Anamika Khanna is a match made in style heaven. They both complement each other with their unique take on style. Sonam looks every bit the warrior princess in this ornate ensemble finishing off her look with a neck choker and red lips.
