With style on her mind and in-vogue looks up her sleeve, Sonam Kapoor is always leading the ‘style icon’ pack in Bollywood. Be it fusion wear looks, couture done right or currently, quarantine looks from home, the senior Kapoor always hits the right note with her fashion choices.
Speaking of sartorial style, we stumbled upon a common denominator in many of her looks (thank you, Instagram). Red! In the past months, Sonam has had a soft spot for the colour, wearing a version in every type of attire we could think of. And clearly, that gives us cause to delve a bit further.
Some Like It Red
Whether its contemporary-takes-in-the-fiery colour or head-to-toe dressing, here’s taking a look at how you can borrow from her book of style.
Head To Toe Red
An all-over look in the colour can be tricky, given its uber-vibrant status. Luckily for us, Sonam Kapoor’s formal avatar is a testimony in how to pull it off without going OTT. Choosing a slightly subdued tone, the actress wore plain pants and blazer in a look that came through effectively. Notice the minimal accessorising and the textured black bag that brings a clear balance.
Varying Shades
Wearing an outfit from ‘The Row’— a label known for its elegant tailoring—Sonam Kapoor shows us how to wear varied shades from the colour family. The overcoat and straight trousers give an attainable winter outfit, as do the boots. If the same colour pairing feels overwhelming, opt for a white tee to position your red look distinctly.
Pattern Play
Dressed in a striped tunic by Lovebirds Studio, the stylish actor takes it a step ahead with red, playing with patterns. Teamed with trousers and white pumps that lend a pop of colour, the look can be mirrored with an airy tunic for summer. Ditch the trousers and add a smart accessory for maximum impact.
Mix And Match
If you are one to favour injecting only a part of the colour in your outfit, Sonam Kapoor’s next look will have you sorted. Putting together shades of off-white and red, the actor’s look makes a strong case for mingling different colours.
Contemporary Take
We have spoken at length about the kurta and how it works wonder for the summers. Take in Sonam Kapoor’s contemporary twist on the garment. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, an asymmetrical kurta and straight palazzos in red formed the outfit of choice. For those who like to step out prepared, a bucket bag is bound to come in handy with a fusion red uniform.
Saree For Days
Make way for the good old saree! Sonam Kapoor’s red monochrome look is a failsafe lesson in pulling off red with finesse. You might want to save this for when all those upcoming weddings and festivities resume. Don’t forget the matching heels!
Couture Dressing
For an evening that entails dressing for cocktail parties or a sundowner, get inspired by Sonam’s oh-so-chic off-shoulder gown that is elevated with volume and fluid drapes. Add a pair of elegant hoops for smart finishing touches.
We are just about ready to step out in one of these looks!
