As she celebrates another year around the sun today, it’s only fitting we look back at moments that prove why she’s the ultimate Bollywood fashionista. Born into a family of stars, Sonam has carved her own niche as a style icon and she is never afraid to experiment, always ready to set the trend.
1. Sonam Kapoor’s 14th Vogue Cover
When it comes to editorial fashion, Sonam is no stranger. Her 14th Vogue India cover wasn’t just a fashion moment, it was history. Styled by her sister Rhea Kapoor, the shoot featured not just Sonam, but some of the pieces and couture treasures owned by India’s best-dressed women wearing. What made it even more iconic is that it was shot inside Amdavad ni Gufa, an architectural masterpiece by the late BV Doshi and MF Husain. Sonam effortlessly blended art, culture, and couture like only she can.
