Sonam Kapoor showed that the term ‘dressed up’ has a whole new meaning when she arrived at Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla’s 40th anniversary party. Walking in wearing a jaw-dropping, cream-coloured anarkali suit that looked much more like a vision than a human being, she proved she could rock the boat in Western and ethnic couture. With ingenious crafting and ethereal detailing, the ensemble brought in a hint of ancient charm and proved again that Sonam is the one who makes the call for fashion trends in Bollywood.
Her beauty look felt purposefully simple, where she kept her hair down and went with a middle parting so that both her neck and jewellery were visible. Sonam Kapoor chose an Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla creation for their 40th anniversary, which was an exquisite example of Indian fashion. Without overly ostentatious features like sequins, bright colours, or loud displays of style, her anarkali suit embraced simplicity and purity, as well as an elegant silhouette. By opting for the subtle colour combination, the creators allowed the embroidery and textile detailing to shine through as the highlight of the outfit, where the essence of the ensemble was built into its textures and materials used to create contrasts and dynamics. The top featured a gentle V-neck cut, with tonal embroidery along the edges, while the bodice stayed relatively fitted, creating an appealing contrast with the flowy bottom cut of the outfit. Featuring embroidered full sleeves, this is where the ensemble came alive. The whole ensemble was enhanced with metallic and white embroidered ornamentation, where the designs looked like they had been made carefully in a linear fashion, giving the dress influence and shape even though it was plain with no colour variation. The makeup felt radiant and fresh, whereas the brown-toned eyeshadows paired with plucked eyebrows and nude lipstick made a balanced overall look. What made the look appealing was the extravagance felt controlled. There was no trying too hard to make everything look harmonious, whereas the colour palette also looked composed.
