20 Times Sonam Kapoor Experimented with the Saree
The fashion queen Sonam Kapoor is The desi diva as she mostly prefers desi clothes rather than western attire unlike most of Btwon celebrities. Sonam Kapoor rocks the Saree here, there and Everywhere !. The girl doesnt even shy away from wearing the desi 6 yards at the Cannes international Film Festival. Wearing saree at so many events may type cast you and make you look boring but with Sonam and her spicy experiments she comes out looking super hot and hatke every single time.
So, how does the diva kapoor do it? She indulges in statement jewellery pieces with sarees, adds layers in the form of jackets, capes or even double pallus, flaunts super contemporary blouses and drapes the saree very in different styles!
In Masabas Hand print saree Sonam rocked it and upped the glam quotient with this look. A sheer pallu with that kind of blouse can come across looking tacky but sonam manages to wear this look with amazing poise.
Wearing a white and red saree where the first pallu was draped normally and the second one went around the neck like most of us drape a dupatta Sonam looked royal. The gajra in hair gives this look a traditional touch.
At Cannes this year I was disappointed Sonam did not do any saree on red carpet but she did give us a very futuristic saree look at a LOreal interview. This black and blue rimzim Dadu saree has a very hatke texture and stands out anywhere ! This contemporary version of saree worked well for Sonam.
Trust Sonam to spark off trends even in a dull biege Anavila handwoven saree . Taking cue fro the metallic borders of the saree Sonam added Silver jewellery from Amarapalli and crop top as a blouse for a striking ethnic look. The middle parted hair and soft make up finished out this look.
I love how Sonam makes white festive. In this pure white payal pratap saree, styling is top notch with a pop of turquose via the necklace and earrings and soft hairdo . The blouse however could have been better fitted.
